CALL TO ORDER 5:30 P.M. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Wood at 5:31 p.m. with the following members present: Jeff Haag, Dean Kirchoff, Dave Westlund, Bill Arndt, Jim Haugen, and Jeff Jones. Absent: None. Also present: Julie Wischnack, AICP, Director of Planning and Zoning; Holly Kreft. Planning Coordinator, John Rodeberg, Director of Engineering and Public Works; and Richard Schieffer, City Legal Counsel. 2. CONSENT AGENDA a) CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF DECEMBER 21, 1999 Mr. Arndt made a motion to approve the minutes. Seconded by Mr. Kirchoff. The motion canted unanimously. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) CONSIDERATION OF REZONING FROM R -1 TO R -2 FOR A PORTION OF THE PLAT AND PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR 122 LOTS AS REQUESTED BY GREAT PLAINS COMPANIES INC. (WEST OF LAKEWOOD DRIVE AND NORTH OF SOUTH GRADE ROAD) Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:33p.m. with the reading of publication #6100 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 6, 2000. Ms. Wischnack explained the request. She stated that only a portion of the plat was proposed to be rezoned from R -1 to R -2. This portion lies in the southeast part of the plat and is delineated by the thick, dark line. There is also a shoreland overlay district which is delineated by a thick, dashed line. Ms. Wischnack explained the requirements of this district She also commented on the street design and how staff had worked with the surveyor to develop the best street plan. Originally the street design called for cul de sacs which exceeded the 500' maximum as established by the Ordinance. All but four lots in the southwest corner meet the lot size requirements. These lots do not meet the width requirements. Ms. Wischnack explained that the original plat had shown these lots with "eyebrows" which increased the lot frontage to meet code. However, staff indicated that from a maintenance perspective this layout would be more difficult than a "smooth" street layout plan. Ms. Wischnack stated that staff recommends approval with the four conditions listed on the staff report. These four conditions are: two accesses into the storm water ponding area, grading plans must be reviewed by the Engineer, a subdivider's agreement must be executed at the time of final plat review, and the lot width issue be resolved with a variance at the final plat application. Ms. Wischnack explained that both of the first conditions had been met. Mr. Haugen asked if development would occur in phases. Mr. Mike Wigeley, partner of Great Plains Development, responded that yes, it would be in phases from west to east Ms. Wischnack commented that the phasing plans were included in the grading plans. Mr. Haugen asked at what point would the developer move on to the next phase. Mr. Wigeley stated that usually it was when the phase had reached 75-80% occupancy. Mr. Arndt stated that as a neighbor to this development, he would not be voting. He did ask how the lots would be assessed if some have the reduced lot width. Mr. Rodeberg explained that the lots would be assessed on a per unit basis of the total lot size. Mr. Arndt asked if there was sufficient right-of-way dedicated on South Grade Road to allow for a bike trail. Mr. Rodeberg stated that yes there was sufficient space for that. Discussion ensued about the trail systems. Ms. Wischnack clarified that 17' of right-of-way had been dedicated for the trail on South Grade Road. Mr. Jones questioned the need for two access points into the storm water ponding area. Ms. Wischnack explained that staff had requested that for maintenance issues. Mr. Jones asked what would happen if the preliminary plat was approved and not the variance for the lot widths. Ms. Wischnack stated that the applicant would then have two options: either reconfigure the lots with the original street design or remove the non- conforming lots. Mr. Rodeberg explained why staff felt that the variances were justified and why the "eyebrows" would be a worst case scenario. Mr. Arndt questioned if there would be driveways onto South Grade Road. Ms. Wischnack stated that other than the two streets shown: there would not be any driveways fronting onto South Grade Road, but the Commission was welcome to added this as a condition if they felt it was necessary. Chairman Wood asked if there were any members of the audience that wished to comment but none were present. Mr. Arndt reiterated that he would be abstaining from all voting. Mr. Kirchoff moved to close the public hearing for the rezoning request at 5:49 p.m. Mr. Haugen seconded. Motion passed 6 -0-1. Mr. Kirchoff moved to approve the rezoning from R -1 to R -2 for a portion of the plat. Mr. Haugen seconde Motion passed 6 -0-1. Mr. Kirchoff moved to dose the public hearing for the preliminary plat request at 5:50 p.m. Mr. Haugen seconded. Motion passed 6 -0-1. Mr. Kirchoff moved to approve the preliminary plat with the conditions listed in the staff report. Mr. Haugen added the condition that no driveway access onto South Grade Road. Mr. Haag seconded. Motion passed 6-0- 1. Mr. Jones requested staff to look into options of providing for the smaller street widths without a variance. He had concerns regarding the precedent and determining hardship of such a variance. Mr. Brian Sullivan of RLK Kuusisto suggested showing the "eyebrows" on the final plats, but showing the street designs without these features. Ms. Wischnack stated that staff would review the options. b) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO CONSTRUCT AN ADDITION TO THE CHRIST THE KING LUTHERAN CHURCH. (SOUTHEAST OF SOUTH GRADE ROAD AND NORTHEAST OF DALE STREET) Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:53 p.m. with the reading of publication #6099 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 6, 2000. Ms. Kreft explained the request for expansion of the existing church facilities which are located in a R -2 District and therefore require a conditional use permit She explained that the request was to almost double the existing church facilities and some interior remodeling. The access points would be two along South Grade Road, a temporary one from Dale Street, and one from the future Cleveland Avenue. Ms. Kraft stated that the area located to the east of the church would remain grass-covered and serve as an area for runoff water. She stated that the proposed additional parking spaces were sufficient for the number of added pews and office space. Staff recommend approval with the conditions that the northwest access onto South Grade Road be a right-only exit the 10' easement be shown on the final plans, and that all parking areas be paved. Mr. John Rodeberg, President of the Christ the King Lutheran Church, stated that the Welcome to Our Ho property, identified on the plans as Outlot A and the area south of the existing church, would be dedicated to the church. The easements as shown on the plans state 5' but do measure 10'. Mr. Haag questioned the existing stone sewer. Mr. Rodeberg stated that there will be a catch basin built by Welcome to Our Home Addition during their next phase of development. Mr. Rodeberg explained why additional storm water ponding was not required with this project. Mr. Jones asked when the Cleveland Avenue extension would be completed. Mr. Rodeberg stated that currently the plan is in 1 -2 years. Mr. Rodeberg stated that the church would still have two entrances from Dale Street and Cleveland Avenue. He added that plans are to have the parking lot paved in conjunction with the construction. Mr. Haag made a motion to close the public hearing at 6:00 p.m. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. The motion passed 6-0-1. Mr. Westlund motioned to approve the request for a conditional use permit with the conditions listed in the staff report Mr. Kirchoff seconded the motion. Mr. Amdt stated that he would be not voting because he is a member of the church. The motion carried 6-0-1. C) CONSIDERATION OF REZONING AND CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FROM R -1 TO I/C FOR AN AUTO REPAIR CENTER AS REQUESTED BY BERNIE MCRAITH. (AIRPORT ROAD AND STATE HWY 15) Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 6:01 p.m. with the reading of publication #6101 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 6, 2000. Ms. Wschnack explained the request and that Mr. McRaith had reapplied changing his original rezoning requ from C-4 to I /C. Ms. Wischnack stated that staff still recommends denial of the conditional use permit, but d recommend approval of the rezoning. Ms. Wischnack explained staff reasons for recommending denial a added that the staff report contained recommendations should the Commission wish to grant the request. Discussion ensued about the septic requirements. Mr. McRaith stated that he had contacted County staff and that the County's policy during the winter months was to issue the permit contingent that the applicant provide the percolation test results by a set deadline. Mr. McRaith stated that he considered it a hindrance to have the parking lot placed to the west side of the proposed building. He stated that there are times when the vehicles under repair would need to be placed in the parking lot, but usually it was for a limited time. Mr. McRaith requested clarification was to whether or not natural gas and electrical services would be available. Ms. Wischnack explained that they would be available, but if the request was prior to the field season, Mr. McRaith would be responsible for the expenses of excavating the trenches to his area. • Mr. Rick Albin, operator, explained that there would be some need for outside storage for tires and other parts. Ms. Wischnack referred to the Ordinance requirements for outside storage in the I/C District. The Ordinance requires that outside storage be allowed either with a conditional use permit or enclosed in a six foot, 100% opaque fence. Mr. Jones questioned Mr. McRaith if staff had notified him of the need for percolation tests in November. Mr. McRaith stated that staff had informed him of this requirement, but he felt that he should first apply for the rezoning. Mr. McRaith stated that he would like to utilize the proposed septic system for at least five years before hooking up to city services. Mr. Rodeberg spoke about the potential timing of when services would be available and that it would be dictated by when the development would occur to the north. Mr. McRaith said he would be willing to work with the City when the services would be available. Discussion ensued about planned development and how and when services would be available to this area. Mr. Arndt moved to close the hearing regarding the rezoning request at 6:52 p.m. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. Mr. Arndt made a motion to approve the rezoning request from R -1 to 1 /C. Mr. Westlund seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Haag moved to close the public hearing for the conditional use request at 6:53 p.m. Mr. Arndt seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Arndt questioned legal staff if there could be a time limit on the use of the septic. Mr. Schieffer replied that there could be a time limit if given as one of the conditions. Discussion then ensued about bonding and if a time limit would be necessary. Mr. Scheiffer explained that the agreement between the applicant and the City would not necessarily be a bond, but would be a financial guarantee. Ms. Wischnack questioned the applicant if he understood the requirements listed in the agreement Mr. McRaith stated that he did. Mr. Jones moved to approve the conditional use request with the following conditions: Parking may be located on the east side of the building, holding tanks shall be allowed until percolation test are available, outside storage shall only be allowed behind a 100% opaque fence at a height of no less than six feet, a financial guarantee agreement be signed by both the applicant and the City, and the parking area be paved no later than November 1, 2000. Mr. Haag seconded. Motion carried unanimously. Ms. Kreft informed the applicant that the request would be heard at the February 8, 2000 City Council meeting in order to revise the draft agreement. d) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO EXTEND TIMEFRAME FOR AN EXISTING TEMPORARY TRAILER TO BE USED AS AN OFFICE AS REQUESTED BY ALLIED MECHANICAL SYSTEMS. (340 MICHIGAN STREET) Chairman Wood opened the hearing at T22p.m. with the reading of publication #6102 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, January 6, 2000. Mr. Kirchoff removed himself from the Commission to represent Allied Mechanical Systems. Ms. Kreft explained the request for the extension. The applicant had originally applied for a conditional use permit to use a temporary trailer for office space. That request was granted in May of 1999 with the condition that it be for only six months. Mr. Kirchoff stated that the applicant would like a six month extension. He stated that the business is currently attempting to purchase another building that would meet their needs. Mr. Bernie Knutson, owner of a Lynn Cards located in the Industrial Park, spoke of the need to clean up the Industrial Park and that the applicant had excessive outside storage. Mr. Eric Knutson also questioned if the clean up issue would be remedied. Mr. Wood asked legal staff if clean up could be added as a condition. Mr. Schieffer replied that although it did not directly apply to the conditional use request, it could be added as a condition. Mr. Wood questioned staff what the policy was on enforcement. Ms. Wischnack replied that staff . handles enforcement on a complaint basis and there had been a complaint made against the applicant. She also stated that the applicant had agreed to have the area cleaned up by February 1, 2000. Mr. Kirchoff stated that some clean up had already occurred. Mr. Arndt made a motion to close the public hearing at 7:43 p.m. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. Motion carried 6-0-1. Mr. Westlund made a motion to approve the conditional use permit to extend the timeframe for the temporary trailer with the condition that it be removed in six months. Mr. Jones seconded the motion. The motion passed 6 -0-1. 4. NEW BUSINESS 5. OLD BUSINESS 6. COMMUNICATION FROM STAFF a) DISCUSSION ON TOWER ORDINANCE Ms. Wischnack explained the outline copy presented to the Planning Commission. Discussion ensued as to the type of tower design which should be allowed. Agreement was reached that a monopole design would best address concerns with collapse. Mr. Bernie Knutson presented his concerns and additions to the outline. The Commission agreed that the setbacks should be 1 foot for 2 feet of tower height in both the commercial and industrial districts b) DISCUSSION ON HOME OCCUPATIONS Ms. Wischnack stated that staff had been questioned as to the possibility of allowing beauty shops as home occupations. The Commission agreed with the staff recommendation that the Ordinance should be revised to address certain home occupations as conditional uses.

MN 55350 f %E Us : a 12111811751 To: Mayor and City Council Members From: Christie Rock, Executive Director Hutchinson Community Development Commission Re: Lot Split Request 2/15100 Planning Commission Agenda On Tuesday, February 15, 2000, the Hutchinson Community Development Commission (HCDC) presented a Lot Split Request to the Hutchinson Planning Commission. The request is for the 9+ acres of property the HCDC owns in the Hutchinson Industrial Park located at the comer of Michigan Street and Second Avenue. The property consists of two parcels. One large piece that is currently fanned and a smaller piece that has a number of farm buildings located on it. The HCDC has been working with a business interested in moving into the industrial park. The business is looking for approximately 4 acres to construct a new building. In order to accommodate the business' request, the HCDC is seeking to split the largest lot basically in half (Please refer to the accompanying materials). The Planning Commission recommended approval of this request with the condition that perimeter easements are shown on the survey. They also recommended that the HCDC submit a letter to the Council explaining why the lot split is not straight across the property. The reason the lot split is not straight is primarily because the HCDC would be required to do both a preliminary and final plat to redraw the lot lines. This process conflicts with the time frame of the project. Furthermore, if the line were drawn straight, both the parcel on the north and the parcel on the west would be impacted by farm buildings. The farm buildings are currently in use and the HCDC must give the occupant 60 days notice to remove belongings. This too would adversely affect the time frame of the project. Furthermore, the farm buildings would have to be removed from the north parcel to accommodate construction of the new building. Allowing the property line to jog slightly north accommodates the needs of the HCDC and the occupant of the farm buildings, as well as the needs of the potential buyer for the north parcel. It does not make economic sense to remove the farm buildings at this time. The farm buildings will be removed if future development deems this necessary. The HCDC would appreciate your support of this request. The revenue generated from the sale of this property will help the HCDC in its continued efforts to promote growth and development in the city of Hutchinson. ,Hutchinson Hutchinson City Center 111 Ht Street SE Hutchlmon, MN 55350.1522 320.597.5151/Fu 320- 2344210 MEMORANDUM DATE: February 18, 2000 TO: Hutchinson City Council FROM: Hutchinson Planning Commission SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION REZONING FROM R -1 TO I/C FOR BERME MCRAITH Pursuant to Section 6.05 of Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 11, Hutchinson City Code, the Hutchinson Planning Commission is hereby submitting its findings of fact and recommendation with respect to the aforementioned request for rezoning.

He is requesting review of two items: a rezoning from Rl to I/C and a conditional use permit to operate an automotive repair business within the I/C District. This property was partially annexed in 1998. The property was not rezoned. The City Code requires all newly annexed property to become Rl Zoning. The automotive repair business is currently located within the Champion Auto Store building on Baltimore Avenue SW. GENERAL INFORMATION Existing Zoning: R -1 Property Location: Airport Road (County Road 8), approximately 250 feet west of State Highway 15. Lot Size: 6.98 acres total (Section 12; 2.04 acres — Section 13; 4.94 acres) Existing Land Use: AgriculturaINacant E Adjacent Land Use And Zoning: Airport to the south I /C; Area to west I /C; Area to east within the County (Agricultural and Rural Residential); Ryan Companies to the north C -4 Comprehensive Land Use Plan: Zoning History: The property was partially annexed into the City in June of 1998 by Ryan Companies. The southern portion of the property was annexed in 1999. The northern property was sold from Ryan Companies to McLeod County. Mr. McRaith then purchased the property from the County. However, neither of pieces were ever rezoned from Rl. (Comprehensive plan guides this area for airport and commercial use.) Rezoning/Conditional Use Permit Bernie McRaith Planning Commission Review — January 18, 2000 Page 2 Applicable Regulations: Section 8.13; all uses within the UC district are conditional uses; Section 6.05. SPECIAL INFORMATION Transportation: Access for the property will be off of Airport Road. The County Highway Department has issued an access permit for the property. Parking: The proposed building for the conditional use permit is 40 feet by 200 feet, or 8,000 square feet. The proposed site plan provides 47 spaces, which meets the minimum 5.5 spaces per 1,000 square feet of building. (The automotive repair area requires 4 spaces for each stall in the shop.) The applicant has mentioned other uses such as service businesses being located in the building, i.e. contractor's offices. Parking lots are required to be paved. The Planning Commission discussed requiring moving a portion of the parking lot to the west side of the building to better screen vehicles which will be serviced. Physical Characteristics: The property has a wetland located on the very eastern side. The wetland is more than 600 feet from the proposed construction area. The topography is fairly flat except the northwestern corner of the site. Rezoning/Conditional Use Permit Bernie McRaith Planning Commission Review — January 18, 2000 Page 3 Analysis: Sewer — Sewer services are located approximately 1300 feet north of this property. The existing sewer services are not adequate to handle development in this area. There is a sewer line being constructed from the east, which will be completed, tentatively, late fall of 2000. This construction would end at the corner of Edmonton Avenue and State Highway 15, which is still not in the vicinity of this property. It may be a number of years before this property has access to sanitary sewer. The applicant proposes utilizing a septic tank in the interim. Staff is opposed to a private septic tank, because of developing property prior to municipal utilities being available. However, if a septic tank is allowed to be installed, staff recommends a full septic system for the building and a temporary holding tank for the flammable liquids. The applicant has often proposed two holding tanks. Staff believes this is unacceptable, based on two reasons: timing and future use of building. There is uncertainty of when public utilities will be available for this property. Full treatment of effluent should be required. A temporary holding tank is typically • used in unique situations, either where the property soils prohibit a full septic installation or there is not sufficient room for a full system. There is also uncertainty about the future use of the building and a full septic installation will provide assurance that effluent is treated properly. Other utilities — Gas service is not likely, because services end at Edmonton Avenue. At this time, gas services are not anticipated for this area. Electrical service would not be available until late spring, early summer, depending on permitting and scheduling. Both natural gas and electrical services would be made available to the applicant. However, if it is prior to their field season, Mr. McRaith would be responsible for the cost of excavating the trench. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the rezoning, but maintains its denial of the conditional use permit. Staff recommends denial of the conditional use permit for the following reasons: 1. Municipal infrastructure is not available to the property (natural gas, sewer, water, and delayed availability of electrical). Rezoning/Conditional Use Permit Bernie McRaith Planning Commission Review —January 18, 2000 Page 4 4. Planning Commission Option: Development of property without municipal services prompts the City to consider the long term effects of non- serviced properties. Particularly, a policy of when and where private service installation should be allowed. Allowing development to occur in this manner will create future retrofitting problems for the City (not only for this project). Development without services would be premature and does not meet the Staged Growth Plan. The Staged Growth Plan indicates this area as being serviced between 2005 and 2010. Allowance of this development (without utilities) would set a negative precedence for other uses proposed in the area. There are no other approved flammable holding tanks within the City. (An auto repair business would be required to install a separate holding tank for the liquids which may not enter the regular septic system.) The location of the septic tank may be as such that future connection to City services will be costly and inefficient. If the Planning Commission chooses to approve the permit, the following items should be considered as conditions of the permit: 1. Stormwater plans should be submitted based on the future use of the property. For example, if the property is further developed in the future, what accommodations for stormwater will be provided. 2. Pavement of the parking lot should be provided by a certain date. 3. If a septic system is installed, the City should consider bonding for future improvements for utilities to the property. Additionally, an agreement should be executed by the property owner (see example provided). 4. Revise site plan to move parking for repair shop, west of building. tH5 \_q Rezoning/Conditional Use Permit Bernie McRaith Planning Commission Review — January 18, 2000 Page 5 5. No outside storage would be allowed as regulated in the Zoning Ordinance except by a separate conditional use permit or "within the confines of a one hundred percent opaque wall or fence no less than 6 feet tall, or other buffering approved by the City Council". 6. The septic permit from McLeod County Environmental Services be on file prior to the issuance of the building permit. Furthermore, a septic permit not be issued until percolation tests have been completed. If grading of the site is allowed prior to percolation tests being completed, destruction of potential areas is possible. Staff also recommends a full septic tank and a special holding tank for flammable liquids be installed. Cc: Bernie MCRaith, 600 Tyler Street SW, Hutchinson, MN 55350 0 0 q -9 -y PUBLICATION NO.

CONSENT AGENDA a) CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES OF JANUARY 18, 2000 Mr. Haugen made a motion to approve the minutes. Seconded by Mr. Arndt. The motion carried unanimously. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR A PORTABLE SIGN AS REQUESTED BY THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS FOR THE ANNUAL FISH FRY (1200 ADAMS STREET SE) Chairman Wood opened the hearing at 5:31 p.m. with the reading of publication #6115 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, February 3, 2000. Ms. Kreft explained the request. It is similar to a conditional use permit that was granted to the applicant last year. This request, however, is only for the on- premise sign because portable signs are no longer allowed on state highway frontage. The sign will be placed in front of the Armory building the week before the annual fish fry which is to be held on February 25, 2000. Mr. Arndt asked if the fee had been waived.

The applicant also provided a connection to the bike trail as well as moved the entrance south to address stacking concerns that staff had. Ms. Ann Bourg, Marquette Bank, was present to answer questions and present additional information. Mr. Arndt questioned if angled parking would be possible to allow for more clearance for senior drivers. Ms. Bourg stated that it would not be possible since the parking stalls would then go against the drive through traffic.

This market analysis involy: evaluation of the property, an income analysis, and issues regarding its potential purchase. The results o s analysis and the rationale utilized in our conclusions are stated in the following report. In summary, our analysis concludes the most economically feasible alternative to solve the hose 3 growing parking needs, is to explore utilizing the land associated with Freemont Avenue. Vacating a F i of Freemont Avenue and combining this land with a strip of the Plaza 15 land, should provide enou, area to support the construction of 200 parking spaces. Satisfying the current hospital parking pr I would postpone the necessary acquisition of the entire Plaza 15 shopping center. The rationale for de' the Plaza 15 acquisition is the significantly lower initial cost to satisfy the present hospital parking If the Freemont Avenue land acquisition alternative cannot be accomplished, the next alternativ finalize an acquisition of the Plaza 15 shopping center. if we assume the hospital would acquire the 1 property if it were vacant land, the financial feasibility issues should focus on the incremental purchasing a developed shopping center. Assuming the Plaza 15 property can be acquired for $4 mill the underlying land and parking improvements are worth $2 million, the income producing b: improvements reflect a $2 million incremental cost. Incorporating our cash flow projections, the incrc cost of the shopping center represents a break -even investment, justifying an overall acquisition ofth• 15 property at a $4 million price. This consulting assignment has been completed in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Prof I Appraisal Practice (USPAP) of the Appraisal Foundation. It is understood the conclusions within th t will be used by the client for purposes of making an informed business decision concerning the I acquisition and operation of the real estate asset.

HWd's Eat, AMU aM Gr W Ada , ' HUTCHINSON AREA HEALTH CARE • CONSIDERATION FOR PURCHASE OF THE PLAZA 15 SHOPPING CENTER OVERVIEW Hutchinson Area Health Care (HAHC), like many other places within the City of Hutchinson, has been experiencing growth within many of our services over these past years. The rise in outpatient service demand as well as an increase in numbers of employees at the hospital (as well as the Medical Center), more volunteers, physicians, and visitors has presented us with significant parking problems. Additionally we are contemplating service expansion in a number of areas including a possible relocation of the Nursing Home to the Hospital campus. Currently we are out of "green space" and will need to spend significant dollars in constructing a parking ramp or purchase additional property in order to sufficiently address the future demand for parking as well as for physical plant expansion space. The Hospital has been, for many years exploring the possibility of relocation of the Nursing Home to the Hospital campus in order to develop a care continuum that addresses the future needs of residents. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 created significant financial issues for the operation of a nursing home and as a result, the relocation of the home is not being considered at this time. The vision of a home attached to the hospital remains a realistic vision and needs to be kept in site as we plan a health care continuum of the future. A business plan was developed in the last few years that addresses long term care services and is identified, in summary, as (Exhibit A). To address physical plant and parking expansion, the Board of Directors of HAHC authorized two independent studies, a couple years ago, by consulting firms from the Twin Cities. The purpose of the studies was to identify possible solutions to address parking problems with the current site as well as the possibility of the acquisition of neighborhood properties for future physical plant expansion. The Frauenshuh Companies was hired on behalf of HAHC, to undertake a Comprehensive Real Estate Study, for the acquisition of properties adjacent to the hospital. The study recommended we develop dialogue with adjacent landowners and establish a practice to acquire properties, as they become available, in order to address our long -term growth needs (Exhibit B). Additionally, SRF Consulting, an engineering firm who specializes in parking, was also hired to conduct a scientific study of our current and future parking demands and make recommendations (Exhibit Q. The study results concluded we would be short 253 . parking spaces by the year 2008. The parking spaces available on the hospital site currently do not allow enough room to park for all people who access the hospital and 1—,4 medical center. To satisfy our demand we have been renting approximately 100 sites at the Plaza 15 shopping center. 40 The following will summarize alternative solutions that have been contemplated to address the long -term need for additional parking at the hospital. HOSPITAL LOT EXPANSION: The City authorized the expansion of the current lots on the west side of the hospital. Because of the uncertainty of the Freemont- Highway 15 access, this will be completed in two stages. This year's project added another 63 spaces to the parking lots. After completion of phase 2, a total of 102 spaces will be added. We have been informed the Minnesota Department of Transportation is considering changing the access off Highway 15 and Freemont Avenue. A possibility exists to close the access because of the danger the uncontrolled access presents. If Freemont Avenue is abandoned (to Echo Drive), additional parking could be developed on the street site. OFF SITE PARKING: We have considered developing or renting off site parking an alternative. We t have not given this option serious consideration because of the inconvenience , if transporting personal to the hospital site for work. Further study could be donee, necessary. PARKING RAMP. According to SRF, the patient parking needed for the Medical Center is sufficient for the next ten- (10) years, without additional development on the east parking lot. The employees of the Medical Center presently park in the Plaza 15 lot as well as other lots on the hospital site. Estimates to construct a ramp on the southwest side of the hospital are approximately $1,600,000 for a 200 -space ramp. This would only net 100 additional spaces because the current property would already provide for 100 of those spaces. CEMETERY PROPERTY: astl The The City of Hutchinson has cemetery property located north of Greencastle. e. City Attorney advises us this property can not be used for parking pure RIDGEWATER COLLEGE: We met with representatives from Ridgewater College three times in recent years and most recently in June of 1999, to assess the possibility o f constructing exchange, joint p arking arrangement or to purchase, through a property g space to park 250 cars. The space that was req is located on has due t d their side of the current campus and borders century architect to consider our request as their master site plan is developed. Thus far we have not received a favorable response. APARTMENT BUILDINGS: • Two 12 -unit apartment buildings are located on Freemont Avenue north of the Medical Center parking lot. Some additional parking could be realized if we purchased this property. The site is not sufficient to provide for all the long -term parking needs for the hospital and clinic. However, it does make sense to consider acquiring the property if it is offered for sale in the future. This land could provide additional space for the long term needs for Medical Center parking. Additionally, we have been approached by Richard Schmidtbauer regarding the possible sale of two apartments located on each side of Echo Circle. The apartments are FHA financed and would undoubtedly be problematic if we decide to change the original intent of the property. PLAZA 15: The purchase of the Plaza 15 property appears to be the best alternative for our short and long term needs for parking, as well as for future development of the hospital and its supporting services, possible relocation of the Nursing Home, and Senior Housing consideration. We have been in dialogue with the owners of Plaza 15 (Kraus Anderson) for the past three years about the possible purchase of the property. The Board of Directors, with approval of Kraus Anderson (KA), authorized appraisals of the property so that a market value could be established. • Two independent appraisals were completed. The market value of the property was established at 32,450,000 (Exhibit D). Additionally, an Investment Value Appraisal was completed, by one of the Firms in order to examine the investment value of the property. As a result of the alternative means of establishing another price, a significantly higher monetary value could be placed on the property (Exhibit D -1). We also had a physical plant assessment completed by our Architectural and Engineering firm in 1998 to determine the capital improvements that would be required over the next 10 years to maintain the Plaza in it's current use (Exhibit E). Last fall we were provided a letter ffom Kraus Anderson offering the property at a net selling price of $4,250,000 (Exhibit F). The property is 8.33 acres and has 88,612 square feet of building space ($48.00 / sq. foot). We have, over the course of the last several months, been examining various alternatives to finance and cash flow the purchase of the property as well as considering ways to manage the property. Attached for your review are various cash flow projections that were prepared by the firm of McGladrey & Pullen (Exhibit G). In addition Bill Able, Colliers/ Towle Realty, completed a separate cash flow projection. This analysis is provided under separate handout. We recently hired the fine of Colliers Towle, Minneapolis, to complete a Market Plan and Study in order to assist with our work of examining the operation of the mall. Additionally we asked the firm to begin due diligence to prepare us for a possible purchase (Separate Handout Titled: Real Estate Asset Evaluation of the Plaza 15 Shopping Center). An issue that needs to be resolved is to decide how the property would be managed. Colliers/ Towle have stated reputable firms are available who would serve the city as excellent managers (asset and property) for the operation of the mall. SUNItN1ARY Hutchinson Area Health Care will be faced with many operational challenges over the next few years because of the many challenges imposed on healthcare providers. Recent changes with reimbursement from the loss of geographic reclassification as well as the negative impact of the Balanced Budget act of 1997 have caused our current concems. These changes will likely stress our cash reserves for operations as well as capital growth over the next few years. It is therefore important that we negotiate the purchase of the Plaza so that the income from tenants can provide a return on investment as well cash flow the operation of the mall. The demand for health care services in this community continues to be positive. The demands from "Baby Boomers" will cause us to think of new and different way of providing Senior Care Services in the future. The Strategic Plan for the Hutchinson Medical Center is to add another 10 physicians to their staff over the next 5 -10 years. Some services may be decentralized to best serve the customer, however it appears the demand for physical plant expansion will continue on the south campus of our organization (hospital site) now and into the future, provided however property can be acquired to accommodate this need. 4 RESOLUTION NO. 11417 RESOLUTION APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS LETTING NO.4 PROJECT NO. 00 -05 & 00 -06 .',fHEREAS, pursuant to a resolution passed by the council on February 22nd, 2000, the Directcr of Engineering has prepared plans and specifications for the improvement of: Project No. 00 -05 Jorgenson Street SE from Hassan Street SE to Century Avenue SE by construction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and services, watermain and services, grading, gravel base, curb and gutter, bituminous base, bituminous surfacing and appurtenances; and Project No. 00-06 Oak Lane SE, East of Jorgenson Street SE by construction of storm sewer, sanitary sewer and services, watermain and services, grading, gravel base, curb and gutter, bituminous base, bituminous surfacing and appurtenances.

This is my second winter living on Barley Street and as you may know our area used to be an open field. The non -stop snowmobile traffic we have on our street is becoming a nuisance if not a hazard. On the first snow of every winter they begin to drive down our street. Unfortunately it doesn't stop there. Once the road is plowed many of the snow goers drive through our yards. We all have new trees, landscaping, and sod, and for obvious reasons we do not appreciate this at all Many of us have tried to divert the traffic using signs, fencing. and boards. In some cases this has only made the problem worse as the snow idiots weave around our obstacles and crush newly planted trees and rip up sod. Another facet of this dilemma is the destruction of our driveways. The metal studs and carbides on the skis are slicing through our concrete and tar. It only took about 4 passes through my driveway to cut into the tar. Besides our driveways the street is becoming markedly worse with groves and marks from end to end. I have spoken with the police department (as have many people on my street) about the constant flow of snowmobiles through our street. An officer informed me that the ordinance states the one must drive his/her machine from their residence and the shortest distance to a governed trail. There is no trail to the north of our neighborhood, just the river. I also have heard the speed limit is 10 mph and this could be wrong, but surely it is not 60 mph like most of them go. Nearly everyone in our neighborhood has children who play outside in the snow and the speeds at which snowmobiles come through here has many parents worried. Just last night my neighbor's kids had someone drive through their snow fort. What if they would have been in there? We have tried to stop some of trespassers but they speed up and usually give us the bird. The also retaliate by making a few more passes through our yard later in the day. I have two pictures of snowmobilers going through my yard and will soon find out who owns these snowmobiles. The police have supposedly stepped up patrol in our area but the officer agreed with me that catching these people would be nearly impossible. On any one Friday night, Saturday and Sunday, one can see at least 2 -3 snowmobiles every 10 minutes. These are not people going from their house to a trail- Barley Street residents have just paid for a new road this last summer that is being torn up day after day. Most of us have new trees, landscaping and sod that are being destroyed. The money we have spent on these items will have to be spent again and again if this continues. I am sure there is away to divert this traffic off of Barley Street, either by creating a trail to bypass it or by making it illegal to drive through our street. To get a good picture of what I am talking about, take a drive through our lovely new neighborhood this week. It's the one that looks like a WWI battlefield. • Rich Bartell 550 Barley St SW 1 /�i RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SNOWMOBILE MORATORIUM Resolution No. 11407 WHEREAS, the City of Hutchinson Police Services, Park Department, Street Department and the City Administrator have received an increasing number of complaints concerning snowmobiles on private property and boulevards; AND WHEREAS, efforts to solve the problem through education and enforcement have not been successful; AND WHEREAS, the City of Hutchinson does not have the equipment to properly enforce the snowmobile ordinance stated in Section 8; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: That the City Council authorizes a moratorium restricting snowmobile traffic within the corporate city limits of Hutchinson to the main corridors until April 1, 2000. 2.

Waste Management is excited about the opportunity to retain this contract and continue our fine relationship with the City of Hutchinson. Waste Management is proposing to use one (1) split body automated truck to service the curbside trash and compost collection needs of the City. We are proposing a six (6) day work week to accomplish the additional collection time needed to service both waste streams. There are a couple issues to address regarding the above collection schedule. First, we will need to dump both the trash and compost at the City compost facility. We will not have enough "man hours" to make trips to Spruce Ridge with the route truck. Second, with a six- (6) day schedule on the trash, I have concerns regarding Saturday collection. We will need assistance from the City to insure that the customers on Saturday's route are well inforrred of their collection day. Finally, it is my understanding that -.ve can dump the recycling at either Norwood or the McCleod County recycling center. Please consider the following pricing; Trash and compost collection 58.25 / unit/month Recycling collection 52.00 /unit/month Due to the extensive capital required to service this contract, Waste Management would be seeking a five- (5) year service contract. A Division of Waste Management of MN, Inc. r_l'� A At your request I have not included the disposal rate in our price to the City. Your rate at Spruce Ridge Landfill is currently $45.00 + 12. l6 /ton plus state tax. Waste Management will honor this rate on a month to month basis. We are delighted to offer the City of Hutchinson a Waste Management contract proposal. We hope that the value of our service programs will be of interest to you. I look forward to working with you in the future. Please call me at 612 - 467 -2999 if you have any questions or comments. Sincerely, JL Steven J. Metz District Manager C 0 Parks.

Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Brenda Ewingl'tfuman Resources Coordinator RE: SickNacation Leave Donation Policy DATE: February 18, 2000 Attached is a proposed policy to allow for the donation and use of accrued employee sick and vacation leave. Recently, the City had a request from a number of employees to consider this as an option because a co- worker had exhausted all accrued time due to an debilitating medical condition. In response to this request, research on the matter was completed. Information was obtained from Ramsey County who recently surveyed 42 municipalities (cities and counties) regarding leave donation policies. Of the 42 respondents, more than half responded that they do have such policies in place. In addition, I contacted other League of Minnesota Cities who have policies in place. Approximately 10 examples were received and reviewed. The attached proposed policy is similar to the examples received from the other cities. The criteria that are in place regarding employee eligibility for the donation program, and the maximum donation amounts are consistent with those used by the other municipalities. The draft has been reviewed by the City Administrator, Management Team (directors), and the City Attorney. It is requested that you consider the adoption of this policy at the regular council meeting of February 22. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please contact me at City Center. 0 Policy No. 3.24 CITY OF HUTCHINSON POLICY - Personnel - SIC"ACATION LEAVE DONATION NO. 3.24 kATE FEBRUARY •. SICK/VACATION LEAVE DONATION POLICY The City of Hutchinson recognizes that a catastrophic illness and /or serious health condition of an employee or immediate family member (spouse or dependent child) may deplete an employee's available paid leave (sick/vacation /compensatory time). This policy is meant to provide employees with the option of assisting fellow employees at such a time. Policy City employees having accrued sick or vacation leave will be allowed to donate a portion of such accrued leave to fellow employees experiencing a catastrophic illness and/or serious health condition suffered by the employee, the employee's spouse, or the employee's dependent child(ren). A catastrophic illness and /or serious health condition includes but is not limited to, heart attack, stroke, organ transplant, or other life threatening illness or debilitating condition as defined by a physician's diagnosis. The donation of leave from one employee to another shall be subject to the following terms and conditions. 1. An employee is only eligible to receive donated leave for time lost from normal work hours due to a life threatening disease or condition as defined, above. 2. An employee will be eligible to receive donated leave only after the employee's accrued sick, vacation, and compensatory time have been exhausted. 3. All requests to receive donated leave must be in writing to the City Administrator and must be accompanied by supporting medical data. The requests will be reviewed by the City Administrator and must be approved to become effective. 4. No full time employee will be allowed to receive more than a total of twenty (20) work days or 160 hours of donated leave for any single major life threatening disease or condition. A permanent part time employee who earns accrued time will be allowed to receive up to a total of ten (10) days or 80 hours of donated leave for any single major life threatening disease or condition. 5. An employee may only use donated leave up to the time of eligibility for a long -term disability benefit (if applicable), or for the maximum number of days allowed to be donated, whichever occurs first. 6. A full time employee may donate no more than sixteen (16) hours of leave per calendar year to a single fellow employee. This shall not be construed to prohibit donating sixteen (16) hours per year to additional employees. A part time employee may donate no more than eight (8) hours to each requesting employee per calendar year. Leave donations will be calculated using time and not an equivalent cash amount. 7. An employee who is donating paid leave must do so from the employee's accrued sick and /or vacation leave balance. 8. A written request to donate leave must be made to the Human Resources Coordinator on forms designated by the City for that purpose. The Human Resources Coordinator shall submit all requests to the City Administrator for final approval. All donations made will be kept confidential. 9. The City Administrator shall have the right to deny use of donated leave or limit its use if it is determined to be in the best interests of the City of Hutchinson. The Finance Department (as part of the payroll function) will subtract donated leave from the donor's accumulated balance and credit the donated hours to the requested employee. Donated time will be processed and used by the date of submission until the eligible amount of donated leave is reached. Contributions of leave hours exceeding the eligible amount will be returned to the donating employee, and will not be transferred. •- GOVERNMENT FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION RECEIVED 3 ?inn CITY OF MW CHINSON 180 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 800, Chicago, Illinois 60601 Febr -_9ry 04, 2000 312/977 -9700 • Fax: 312/977 -4806 The Honorable Marlin Torgerson INF+ORM Mayor ToR YOU City of Hutchinson 111 Hassan Street SE Hutchinson, MN 55320 Dear Mayor Torgerson: We are pleased to notify you that your comprehensive annual finan- cial report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 qualifies for a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.

City of Hutchinson \t1' Your Claim No: 11004418 Our File No: 10066.0172 Dear Mr. Weisbrod: I am pleased to report the trial court granted our motion for summary judgment based upon Parks and Recreational Area Immunity. I am enclosing a copy of the decision for your review. As you can see, the trial court prepared a very thorough and well - reasoned memorandum. The primary issue involved the appropriate trespasser standard to apply under the immunity statute. The trial court held the general trespasser standard as opposed to the child trespasser standard applied, reasoning: "Chase was accompanied by his parents and a babysitter to the Arena. Although his parents separated from Chase when they went to a meeting, they entrusted his care to a babysitter and they were aware that Chase would be on the bleachers. This situation is significantly distinguishable from the reported cases that have applied the child trespasser standard. In those cases, the children wandered away from their home or parents. Here, Chase had not wandered away from his parents, and, in fact, he was in the area of the Arena where they had left him when injured. Even though Chase may have been walking on the bleachers by himself and was some distance from the babysitter, he was still under her supervision as delegated by the parents. Therefore, it is the opinion of this Court that § 339 is inapplicable to this matter and that the general or adult trespasser standard set out in § 335 provides what duty is required of the Defendant in this case" The Court went on to find that the bleachers did not constitute a hidden danger. The trial court's decision will certainly be helpful if the Plaintiff appeals this matter, as expected. 0 Mr. Robert Weisbrod February 14, 2000 Page 2 The Plaintiff has 60 days from entry of judgment to appeal this decision. Since judgment was entered on February 11, 2000, the Plaintiff will have until March 13, 2000 to appeal. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Best regards, ERSTAD & RIEMER, P.A. Paul D. Reuvers PDR:rw Enclosure cc: Gary Plotz, City Administrator (P &C) Gary Vargason, Allied Adjusters Marc A.
