Council members present were Mayor Westlund, Aldermen Gruenhagen, Beatty, Lueneburg. Absent was Alderman B. Peterson. City Administrator Plotz was also in attendance. The City Council discussed the purchase of the building commonly known as the Wigen Building located at First Avenue Southwest. It was noted that an appraisal has been completed on the property showing a current market value of $101,340. The property would have a proposed use of public parking, pursuant to the Hutchinson Downtown Parking Plan. It was noted that the Hutchinson Parking Advisory Committee included this parcel as a high priority for acquisition. Mayor Westlund stated that he has been in contact with the Citizens Bank, the present owner, which is willing to sell at the appraised price. One of the conditions of the sale is that in the event the City changes the use of the property from public parking to any other use, the bank would be-offered the opportunity to repurchase the property at the current market value. The terms and conditions of the proposed supplemental agreement were reviewed by the Mayor. There was a motion by Ken Gruenhagen, seconded by Ted Beatty to purchase the property,(described as follows) including supplemental agreement. [Lot 6, except the West 62.70 feet thereof, and Lot 7, except the West 62.70 feet of the South 4.00 feet thereof, all in Block 8 in the South Half, City of Hutchinson.] Motion was carried unanimously.

Motion ar was seconded by Alderman Lueneburg and carried,-with Alderman Beatty votg "nay. (e) CONSIDERATION OF LETTER OF RESIGNATION FROM ALDERMAN BRUCE PETERSON Mayor Westlund read a letter of resignation which had been received from Alderman Bruce Peterson just prior to the Council meeting. Alderman Peterson wrote that he has appreciated the opportunity to serve on the City Council for the past five years and hopes he has contributed something to the progress of the community over this time. He further wrote that time constraints and job growth in his present employment make it necessary to resign from the City Council effective Friday, July 17, 1981. Alderman Beatty made a motion to accept the resignation with regret and authorize Resolution of Appreciation. Seconded by Lueneburg, carried unanimously, (f) PRESENTATION BY JON. GEISS,PRESIDENT OF HUTCHINSON INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION Jon Geiss, President of Hutchinson Industrial Corporation appeared before the City Council to present information on the status of the chemical dumpsite used by Hutchinson Industrial Corporation in the early 1970's. He requested the--support and counsel of the City Council in resolving the situation. Mr. Geiss stated that from 1971 to 1974 Hutchinson Industrial Corporation disposed of about 13,000 gallons of waste chemicals in an abandoned gravel pit two miles south of Hutchinson on County Road 25, about 12 mile west of Highway 22, on property owned by Harold Molls. This procedure was standard industrial practice at the time, approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In 1974, technologies became available to dispose of waste in other ways and the dumping practice was discontinued. Present waste disposal is accomplished in compliance with EPA and MPCA regulations. The location and nature of the disposal site was voluntarily disclosed to MPCA in April, 1981 and testing and cleanup procedures were initiated. In June, 1981, MPCA made a press release concerning the situation, giving no opportunity for prior briefing of local officials. Hutchinson Industrial Corporation has made arrangements with the present landowner, Mr. McCormick, to test the soil and plans to test well water within a one -mile radius of 0 -2- 0 'COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 the site. Hutchinson Industrial Corporation takes responsibility for the situation and will keep Hassan Valley Township officials informed. After brief questioning for further details by members of the City Council, Mayor Westlund thanked Mr. Geiss for presenting the report and for assuming responsibility for resolving the problem. 6. RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES (a) RESOLUTION NO. 6877 - ACCEPTING $62,500 FROM THE HUTCHINSON UTILITIES COMM.

(b) ORDINANCE NO. 11/81 - AN ORDINANCE TO VACATE AN ALLEY IN BLOCK 52 of THE SOUTH 1/2 OF THE CITY (ITEM TABLED PENDING COMMUNICATION FROM PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH) (c) ORDINANCE NO. 9/81 - ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 520 OF THE 1974 ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, ENTITLED BUILDING PERMIT FEES (DEFERRED JUNE 23, 1981) City Engineer Priebe reported that alternate methods of changing the permit fee would be to change to the Uniform Building Code Schedule of fees at this time, or to make the increase in two equal steps, one now and one a year from now. DuWayne Dickey commented from the audience that he objects to raising building permit fees and questions whether fees should be expected to pay the whole cost of operating the building department. After further discussion by the City Council, Alderman Gruenhagen made a motion to reject a building fee increase at this time. The motion died for lack of a second. Alderman Beatty made a motion to waive first reading of the two step increase recommendation and set second reading for July 28, 1981. The motion died for the lack of a second. Alderman Lueneburg made a motion to increase fees in the amount of 30 percent of the difference between the present schedule and the new schedule. Motion was seconded by Alderman Beatty and unanimously carried. (d) RESOLUTION NO. 6878 - TRANSFER OF GENERAL REVENUE SHARING FUNDS FOR SUPPORT OF HUTCHINSON GENERAL FUND After discussion, Alderman Beatty made a motion to adopt Resolution No. 6878, Transfer of General Revenue Sharing Funds for Support of -3- COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 Hutchinson General Fund, in the amount of $87,947. Motion was seconded by Alderman Lueneburg and carried unanimously. (e) ORDINANCE NO. 12/81 - ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 730:00 OF THE 1974 ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, ENTITLED UNREASONABLE ACCELERATION Police Chief O'Borsky provided information recommending a change in City Ordinance for unreasonable acceleration, from a Misdemeanor to a Petty Misdemeanor.

(f) ORDINANCE NO. 13/81 - ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 8 OF THE 1974 ORDINANCE CODE OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, ENTITLED ZONING DISTRICTS AND ZONING MAP.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS (a) CONSIDERATION OF ASSESSMENT ROLL NO. 92 (DEFERRED JUNE 30, 1981) A memorandum from City Engineer Priebe to Assistant City Attorney Schaefer was distributed to the Council, along with a map with elevations relating to the lateral storm sewer serving Clifton Heights. It is the Engineer's recommendation that the storm sewer project be reduced to serve only Clifton Heights for the present, due to the objections of Kables Furniture, Velvet Coach and 7 Hi Motel, which are presently served by a private drainage system. John Mlinar of Clifton Heights commented from the audience that drainage is needed in the area and questioned the elevations in the plan. Lee Stritesky of Clifton Heights asked for further consideration of this change. Mayor Westlund commented that he believes further study of this project is needed and that it should be referred back to Engineer Priebe. On a motion by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Beatty, carried unanimously, the matter was tabled. 9. NEW BUSINESS (a) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF TWO NEW TRUCKS FOR MOTOR POOL Ralph Neumann, Director of Maintenance Operations, requested that specifications be prepared and bids advertised for one pickup truck and one one -ton truck, which are budgeted replacement items for the Motor Pool. Alderman Lueneburg made a motion to approve the request. Motion was seconded by Alderman Beatty and carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASING IBM COMPUTER IN PLACE AT HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL. Communication from Hospital Administrator Graves stated that the option exists to purchase IBM System 34 computer equipment which has been rented for two years, with rental credits applicable to the purchase. It would be advantageous to exercise the'buy -out option at this time, since the equipment has worked extremely well and further rental payments would not apply to the $22,941 buy -out price. The Hospital Governing Board is in favor of the purchase. On a motion by Alderman Lueneburg, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the request was unanimously approved. -5- COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 (c) CONSIDERATION OF HYDRANT AND CURB ALIGNMENT ON EAST SIDE OF T. H. 15 NORTH OF 5TH AVE NE City Engineer Priebe recommended realigning the fire hydrant and curb on the east side of T.H. 15 (Main Street) immediately north of 5th Avenue N.E. as a safety improvement necessary due to the street widening presently being done at that intersection by the state. Cost to the City would be $1,127.00. After discussion, Alderman Gruenhagen made a motion to approve work. Motion was seconded by Alderman Beatty and carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF MERIT INCREASES FOR EMPLOYEES rr Personnel Coordinator Sitz reported that performance reviews for employees have been completed. Most employees have been recommended for one step, one -half step, or zero changes in rate. Exceptions to this are two recommendations for reclassification, namely Wastewater Plant Operator to IV -3/8 range with one step increase Finance Clerk to III -3/8 range with one step increase In addition, due to reclassification in the 1981 Pay Plan, two employees are being recommended by department heads for two step increases, namely, Secretary, Parks and Recreation to II -4 Secretary, Engineering /Insp. to II -6. After discussion Alderman Beatty moved to approve the increases for July. Motion was seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen and carried unanimously. (e) CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED SIGN CHANGES Police Chief O'Borsky recommended changes in allowed parking at Fair Avenue to alleviate congestion at Fair Avenue and Adams Street during the county- -fair and at 3M shift changes. No parking would be allowed on the north side of Fair Avenue near Adams Street and a right turn lane would be marked instead. , After discussion, Alderman Beatty moved to waive first reading of the Ordinance and set second reading for July 28, 1981. Alderman Gruenhagen seconded the motion which was carried unanimously. (f) DISCUSSION OF JOINT HUTCHINSON - LITCHFIELD AIRPORT At 8:00 P.M. Mayor Westlund moved the Council meeting to the upstairs meeting room in order to accommodate the approximately 125 people who had an interest in the airport topic. Mayor Westlund then introduced the discussion with a summary of efforts to date. He stated that the City of Litchfield had asked for consideration of a joint airport and that as a result of this, a Joint Airport Commission has been studying the question for the past five months. This Commission has now asked the two City Councils to consider four items in order to • 0 -6- - COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 determine whether to continue at this time to form a joint powers agreement. The matters which such a joint powers agreement would address are (1) Site Selection (2) Appraisal (3) Property Negotiation (4) Exercise of Eminent Domain Mayor Westlund then introduced Consultant Richard Beckman of Howard Needles Tammen & Bergendoff, who has been working with the City of Litchfield,and asked him to summarize the status of the airport. Mr. Beckman reported that the Litchfield airport has serious deficiencies as shown in a 1980 study. In February, 1981, Litchfield tabled their study to proceed with the joint airport study. The advantages of a joint airport are that half as much land would have to be provided by each city and the costs would be shared; based craft (30 from Litchfield, 15 from Hutchinson) would be combined in one location, giving a fixed base operator a better potential for a successful operation. Presently, Litchfield has the required amount of traffic to justify the larger facility, while Hutchinson alone does not. It is customary for communities to provide incentives to attract and keep business and industry, as an airport would do. Studies show direct and indirect income to communities from airports although there are no hard numbers to prove that industry is attracted by airports. A new airport would provide the desirable low- density population safety zone. Mr. Beckman summarized the disadvantages of a joint airport; one of them being unpopularity. Others are displacement of property owners, increased noise level, and the loss of wildlife. For the City of Hutchinson, proceeding could cost more than doing nothing. Only four cities in the state plan to keep their present 3,200 foot runways at the present length; most cities have plans to lengthen runways in the future. Mr. Beckman concluded that Litchfield must improve their airport. Their City Council favors relocation; if to a joint facility, then sites 2,3,4, or 6 are most probable choices. If Litchfield builds alone, favored sites are near Johnson Brothers property or at the VOR. If Litchfield bdilds alone at a site within a 30- minute drive from Hutchinson, this will make Hutchinson ineligible for federal money for any future airport. Mayor Westlund stated there would be a cost to Hutchinson of $200,000 or $300,000 if a joint facility were built. In 1980, our present airport had revenues of $57,000 and expenses of $69,000. He then called for comments from the floor. Gary Hoff Presented a petition with 740 to 750 signatures gathered in the City of Hutchinson during the past few days, asking the'City Council not to enter into a joint airport agreement with the City of Litchfield. -7- COUNCIL_ MINUTES JULY, 14, 1981 Jerome Waters Meeker County Commissioner 5th District - Cedar Mills Mr. Hoff commented that noise reduction is needed. At site 6, the residence is very close. Is it really feasible that an airport will bring industry? He has heard the City of Hutchinson has options on property so the present airport could extend to 4,000 feet. Is this true? One cannot compare the local situation to Austin and Duluth airports. More than 6 families would be affected by a joint airport. Is a pilot. Meeker County Commissioners' feel the use figures for the Litchfield airport are optimistic. Meeker County Board has informed E Litchfield they want no part of the airport. Industry is kept out by the Minnesota tax climate, not by lack of an airport. If a site is chosen, he will ask for an environmental impact statement. Mayor Westlund then called on Larry Wendorff, a McLeod County Commissioner who was also in the audience and asked for his comments. Larry Wendorff Does not believe the joint airport is needed. If 3M had requested it, heimight feel differently. J. Harold Beytien Asked how far Litchfield is from Willmar. Richard Beckman More than the 30 minute driving limit. J. Harold Beytien Hates to see Hutchinson losing its airport. It could expand to 4,000 ft. Mayor Westlund then called on Consultant Beckman for specific comments•on noise. Mr. Beckman stated that federal standards define what is a noise problem. - -Noise levels might increase and yet not be defined as a problem. Jerome Waters The source of federal money is the taxpayer. Mayor Westlund called on City Administrator Plotz for comment on any options to buy additional land at the Hutchinson Airport site. Mr. Plotz stated that at present the City of Hutchinson owns 257 acres at the airport and has no options on any other land. Perhaps there has been confusion with a contract for deed, which the City does have. In further response to Mayor Westlund: Richard Beckman A 4,000 foot runway at Litchfield is the longest they can go. Jim Schaefer If there were a joint powers contract and if neither Assistant City Attorney side takes action, the contract would be dissolvable. -8- 0 COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 • Richard Beckman The acquisition procedure is for appraisal and then - acquisition. The state appraises, and a landowner can request a second appraisal. At that time, hopefully a price can be agreed upon. If a selling price is not agreed, the cities could further negotiate a price, but federal money would not pay anything above the appraised value. Chuck Warner Asked for more information on a joint powers agreement. Is "divorce" possible once underway? Jim Schaefer There would be the possibility of a lawsuit if such an agreement were broken. Richard Beckman Litchfield does not want to go through a long process and then have the agreement dissolve. At this point, Mayor Westlund stated that no more than 30 minutes longer would be used for comments from the floor. Gerry Wright Speaks for the pilots at the Hutch airport. Hutchinson can expand to 4,000 feet and remain compatible with the farming surrounding it. Gary Hiedabek Operates an implement business and wants farming to prosper. Does not want condemnation and requests a decision not to go to a joint facility. George Runke Has worked at the Hutchinson airport for many years. Hutchinson has not been strongly air - minded. The present Hutchinson.airport is sufficient. Bernie Knutson Doesn't want all comments to be negative. Is a flyer and has safety concerns. The city is expanding to the south and the airport must move either now or later due to this expansion. Mayor Westlund then stated that the Council would accept one more comment from the floor. Gary Hoff Requests that the Council please vote "No" on the joint airport. Richard Beckman Responds concerning any interest his firm has in the venture, stating that as consultants they would be dealing with more controversy with a joint airport than with a single facility. Mayor Westlund turned discussion of the issue back to the Council at this time. The Council must consider what would the economic impact be. The question is COUNCIL MINUTES JULY 14, 1981 not "Litchfield or Hutchinson." Hutchinson is a hub for the area and to keep it as such, the Mayor favors expansion for both present and future. There are industries looking at Hutchinson as a place to locate now and if they were here, they would bring better markets for farm produce. It is true that 3M Company does not demand services from the city, yet they have contributed much. Alderman Beatty The question is, is Hutchinson ready to go with the four points brought by the joint commission. He feels the airport is needed; the use of local money and the joint powers agreement are accept- able, but he cannot support condemnation of property. Mayor Westlund Acknowledges receipt of the petition with several hundred signatures on it. Personally, he has received only one negative comment. X, Alderman Gruenhagen States that voters expect decisions, and he leans toward moving the airport. He has a farm background and understands the problems involved. But the farmers' children cannot all farm. Some will need good jobs in town. The next step should be selection of a site, with help from the rural people. We should negotiate peacefully for acquisition. Alderman Lueneburg This is a difficult decision. Has a problem with "per standard procedure" in guidelines and cannot accept condemnation as standard procedure. If this can be modified, then there is a possibility for progress. Mayor Westlund called for a motion. A motion was made by Alderman Gruenhagen to join Litchfield to continue efforts in pursuing construction of a joint airport facility; first select a site, negotiate, and if it can be purchased, then enter into a joint powers agreement. The motion was seconded by Alderman Beatty. Motion carried with Aldermen Gruenhagen and Beatty voting "aye" and Alderman Lueneburg voting "nay." After further discussion of the motion, it was stated that the motion did not recognize or address the issue of eminent domain at this time. Consultant Richard Beckman stated that he anticipates Litchfield's reaction. They want a joint powers agreement now and don't want to proceed unless there is a guarantee of the completion of the many steps. We are years away from land acquisition and must have a joint powers agreement first. Mayor Westlund moved the meeting back to the Council Chambers at 9:45 P.M. -10- Ll COUNCIL MINUTES JULY,14, 1981 10.

The fund has been operating from a functional point but not from a bookkeeping function. With the four attached resolutions - # 1 establishing the fund we could begin the operation under proper authorization. The second resolution places all vehicles now listed in the general fixed asset area into the central garage where we will begin depreciation of the trucks and operate the fund similar to an enterprise fund. The fund would consider this as donated or contributed capital to begin operations. The third resolution transfers $5,000 cash from the general fund, for day to day operation; to the central garage fund. If this is approved, the transfer would be from contingency and be a permanent transfer to the central garage fund. This transfer will allow for cash flow which would otherwise unnecessarily burden the other funds for its operations. The fourth resolution transfers the balance from the bridge fund to the central garage fund. The money will be used for equipment purchases in 1981. � "L' 0 RESOLUTION NO. 6881 • RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING CITY GARAGE FUND BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: THAT a fund - said Central Garage Fund is duly authorized to create accounts and bank accounts as necessary for its operation.

CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Don Erickson at 7:34 P.M. with the following members being present: Bill Backen, Ted Beatty, Roland Ebent, Larry Romo and Elsa Young in addition to chairman Erickson. Absent: Clint Tracy. Also attending were City Administrator Gary Plotz, Director of Engineering, Marlow Priebe, Building Official Homer Pittman, Fire Marshal George Field and Assistant City Attorney Jim Schaefer. 2. MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting dated May 19, 1981 were unanimously approved on motion by Ted Beatty and seconded by Elsa Young. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS (a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY MR. JAMES DEMEYER. The hearing was opened at 7:35 P.M. by Chairman Erickson with the reading of publication #2763 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. Jim DeMeyer commented that a few changes had been made from the original proposal such as the driveway had been widened and the distance between the buildings had been increased. Mr. DeMeyer presented letters from area residents indicating they favored the project. They were put in the file for future reference. Mr. Steve Bruhn, 924 Merrill, was present stating he felt it was a good plan. Mr. Roland Ebent pointed out the setback on the north is 22' in a C -4 zone and the requirement is 25'. -After discussion and consult- ing with the Assistant City Attorney, it was felt no variance was necessary based on the fact the site is in both a R -3 and C -4 zone and the sideyard in the R -3 portion is only 6'. Mr. George Field, Fire Marshal, also requested a fire hydrant be placed in the center of Heritage Square. The hearing was closed at 7:51 P.M. on motion by Bill Backen. Second- ed by Ted Beatty, the motion carried unanimously. 7_C1 I Hutchinson Planning Commission Page 2 June 16, 1981 Mr. Ted Beatty then made the motion to recommend approval to the City Council for the conditional use permit request providing a fire hydrant is placed in the center of Heritage Square and it should be noted the 22' setback on the north is considered adequate. Seconded by Roland Ebent, the motion unanimously carried. (b) CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTED BY RICHARD LARSON FOR "KIMBERLY'S COUNTRY ESTATES" The hearing was opened by Chairman Don Erickson at 7:52 P.M. with the reading of public hearing # 2764 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. Erickson asked Mr. Plotz to update the Commission on what has happened since the last meeting. Mr. Plotz explained that the PUD which was approved last month by the Commission was tabeled by the Council. They had several requests of Mr. Larson. Meetings were held with residents and park location was discussed. The PUD request was then withdrawn by Mr. Richard Larson. He now is requesting a preliminary plat. A letter has been received from Mr. Larson requesting a variance from the Sub. Ord. #466 for a 40' street right -of -way rather than the required 60' street right -of -way. Mr. Richard Larson commented the park had been provided as requested and that the 40' street right -of -way was in harmony with the rest of the streets in the area. A road to the east was also provided as requested. Mr. John Mlinar, 704 Hilltop Drive, stated he felt more variances were necessary. He felt there were other requirements that were not complied with. Mr. Dave Bruzek, 111 Mark Drive, was concerned about the exit to the East and also felt 40' streets would present a real problem. Mr. Richard Larson used as an example the area of Shady Ridge which has had a lot of development with only one exit and it didn't seem to cause any problem with traffic. This area in fact is much larger than the one he is proposing. Mr. Mlinar referred to section # 5.213 of the Sub. Ord. #466 where it states one exit shall not be permitted. It was determined, however, that Mr. Larson had two exits with a third proposed for the future so this section did not apply to his proposal. Mr. Roman Haas, 113 Mark Drive, questioned if the City had the auth- ority to determine where the roads are to be placed outside of the city limits. Hutchinson Planning Commission Page 3 June 16, 1981 Mr. Ted Beatty explained this is the reason for our Mapped Street Act in which you can designate areas for streets. After being questioned on the subject of fire safety, George Field stated 40' streets were sufficient. Mr.- Mlinar. referred to Section 5.216 of the Subdivision Ordinance # 466 where it states residential blocks shall normally be of suf- 'ficient width for two tiers of lots. He felt with 25' setbacks cars would almost be in the streets that are parked in the drive- ways. Mr. Plotz stated our Director of Maintenance, Mr. Ralph Neumann, was concerned about snow removal. If we have a lot of snow it could be thrown on the cars. Should sidewalks ever be put in that too could be a problem. Mr. Ebent questioned Mr. Larson as to why he chose 40' streets in- stead of 60'. Mr. Larson replied one of the reasons was because of the 40' width streets already in and to keep 10,000 sq. feet per lot. Greater setbacks were then discussed to give more room for cars parked in the driveway. Mr. Lee Stritesky, 709 Hilltop Drive, was concerned -about-this -set- ting a precedent for future developers. Mrs. Ann Haas, 113 Mark Drive, felt the situation at present is not ideal so why continue in this manner. On motion by Elsa Young, the hearing was closed at 8:53 P.M. Second- ed by Ted Beatty, the motion unanimously carried. Mr. Larry Romo then made a motion to recommend approval of the pre- liminary plat contingent upon all front yard setbacks be 35'. Elsa Young seconded the motion and the motion carried with Bill Backen-, Ted Beatty, Don Erickson, Larry Romo and Elsa Young voting in favor and Roland Ebent being opposed. (c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY SAYLES WALDRADTH The hearing was opened at 8:55 P.M. by Chairman Don Erickson with the reading of publication # 2765 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. Waldradth come forth and explained his request stating a new porch was necessary as the old one was rotting. Since the original porch was built the road had been widened. Mr. Waldradth also explained because of the location of his driveway he also needed a variance to build a garage 3' from the sideyard lot line rather than the required 6'. .Hutchinson Planning Commission Page 4 June 16, 1981 The variance request is to reduce the front yard setback from 25' to 13.5' and to reduce the sideyard setback from 6' to 3'. No one was present voicing any objection to his requests. Mr. Ted Beatty made a motion to close the hearing at 9:00 P.M. Seconded by Bill Backen, the motion unanimously carried. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council for the requested variances. Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO (PUD) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR MR. DELMAR PITTMAN "SOUTHDALE APARTMENTS" The hearing was opened at 9:02 P.M. by Chairman Don Erickson with the reading of publication #2766 as -published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. Plotz explained it was an agreement by the City to close Neal Ave. as a part of the PUD hearing in April 1979. However, it is the request of our Fire Chief, Mr. Lloyd Schlueter, to leave the access as is for better fire protection. At the time of the earl- ier hearing, Mr. Schlueter had not been properly consulted. A petition was presented of signatures of people in favor of leaving it open. Mr. Michael Carls, 915 Neal Avenue, felt that traffic was a problem and was concerned about the safety of children in the area. Mr. Michael Jaster, 815 Neal Avenue, pointed out that the property owner Mr. Pittman had complied with the fence and the playground area but the City had neither put up the "No Parking" signs or closed the Neal Avenue access as was agreed upon. Mr. Orville Kuiken, Mgr. of Southdale Apts., felt the residents of the apartment hardly used this access. A break -away barrier was suggested but it was determined that would be a problem with snow removal. After extensive discussion and numerous suggestions, the hearing was closed at 9:25 P.M. on motion by Elsa Young and seconded by Ted Beatty. The motion unanimously carried. Elsa Young then made a motion to ha open with the following conditions: 2) Signs reading "Do not Enter" and Yellowing of curb along Neal Avenue restrictions such as speed bumps if the motion carried unanimously. 0 ve the access on Neal Avenue remain 1) Sign "Fire Lane" be erected; "Oc not Exit" be erected; and 3) as well as any other necessary necessary. Seconded by Bill Backen, 0 Hutchinson Planning Commission Page 5 June 16, 1981 (e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST SUBMITTED BY RICHARD SCHMiDTBAUER FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR "SCHMIDTBAUER'S SECOND ADDITION" The hearing was opened at 9:40 P.M. with the reading of publicat- ion # 2767 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. James Black,, 15 Century Avenue, inquired why two hearings were held on this. Mr. Priebe, City Engineer, explained the first hearing was for the rezoning only. At the time of the Final plat request all easements will be listed. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to close the hearing at 9:45 P.M. Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the preliminary plat of "Schmidtbauer's Second Addition ". Seconded by Bill Backen, it unanimously carried. (f) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 464 SECTION 8 ZONING DISTRICTS & ZONING MAP The hearing was opened at 9:46 P.M. with the reading of publication # 2768 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 5, 1981. Mr. Plotz explained that most of the residentail property that comes into the City is rezoned to R -2 by request. By having it come in as R -2 rather-than R -1, it would save having so many hearings. Elsa Young questioned if we would have-any future R -1 in the City if we changed it. Mr. Priebe stated if the developer requests- R -1 zoning we could hold a hearing at that time. The hearing was closed at 9:48 P.M. on motion by Roland Ebent. Second- ed by Larry Romo, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council of the stated change in the zoning ordinance to have annexed areas come into the city as R -2 rather than R -1. Seconded by Elsa Young, the motion unanimously carried. 4. OLD BUSINESS (a) DISCUSSION ON SECTION 9 - ZONING ORDINANCE # 464 (SETBACKS) At the request of staff, this item was tabeled until the July meeting. Hutchinson Planning Commission _Page 6 June 16, 1981 (b) REVIEW OF DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED LANDSCAPE PLAN AS REQUIRED BY THE SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT Due to the fact the incorrect information was mailed to Mr. Priebe, he requested this item be tabeled until a later date. 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) REVIEW OF PARK DONATION SCHEDULE Mr. Plotz explained the park contribution schedule had not been reviewed for three years. With the rising cost of land it is becoming more difficult to purchase land for parks. He went on to say we are trying to arrive at a dollar figure that is closer to the land value. a 10% increase is proposed. Mr. Schmidtbauer stated if its too cheap you won't have many parks in the City. Elsa Young made a motion to set a public hearing date for the proposed park contribution schedule. Seconded by Ted Beatty, the motion unanimously carried. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Board at this time, the meeting was adjourned at 10:10 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty and seconded by Bill Backen. The motion unanimously carried. 0 40 40 • TREE BOARD MINUTES June 17, 1981 City Hall Council Chambers 0 Meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. Members present were Mrs. Axel Jensen, Roy Johnsen, Ivan Larson and Mark Schnobrich. Members absent were Jerry Brown and Bruce Peterson. Fall planting in 1981 was discussed with action tabled until further clari- fication could be made of the 1981 Forestry Budget. Ivan Larson suggested that a title page with itemized figures be included for ease of reviewing the 1981 budget. Ivan Larson questioned Mark Schnobrich on the lack of action with the trans- planting of a 3 inch sugar maple to the Harry Blake boulevard. Last report was that Hutchinson Landscaping was to tree spade the tree from Mrs. E.W. Schmitz boulevard at 553 Jurgens to Harry Blake boulevard at 568 Jurgens. Schnobrich explained it was a mistake on his part. He stated that if Thody could guarantee the survival of the maple if transplanted this time of the year, that he would have the tree transplanted as soon as possible. If Hutchinson Landscaping could not guarantee the maple's survival, trans- planting would take place in the fall. Roy Johnsen made a motion, Ivan Larson seconded, to have Bruce Ericson be in attendance at the Tree Board Meetings. Ivan Larson requested Schnobrich to ask Ken Merrill to attend the next meeting to discuss the 1981 and 1982 budget. Roy Johnson stated Mr. Merrill should approve a time if the scheduled date of July 15, at 7:00 p.m. did not fit in with his schedule. Schnobrich stated that the injection equipment was still available this season and he suggested that this equipment could be loaned out to private tree owners for injection of.their elms. Ivan Larson stated that due to the expense of the equipment, loaning out of it should be on a fee basis with city personnel in attendance as a technical advisor. Also, written permission from the DNR, who owns the equipment, must be obtained. With those stipulations, the Board felt it would be a feasible project. Meeting was adjourned at 8:25 p.m. Respectfully, Mrs. Axel Jensen /Mark Schnobrich Secretary REVENUE REPORT Description GENERAL FUND TAXES LICENSES • PERMITS & FEES INTER - GOVERNMENT REVENUE CHARGES FOR SERVICES CEMETERY PERPETUAL CARE FUND FINES & FORFEITS MISCELLANEOUS REVENUE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER FUNDS REVENUE.

HISTORY On July 1, 1981 an application was submitted by Angela Amundson requesting a variance from the off- street parking setback and the drainage plan of the lot. At the regular meeting of the Planning Commission held on July 21, 1981 a public hearing was held at which time no one•was present voicing any opposition to the request. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required application was submitted and the appropriate fee paid. 2. Notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners as well as pub- lished in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, July 10, 1981. 3. The property owner pointed out the drainage had to be the way it was because of the location of the sewer. If it,were any lower, there could not be a drain in the basement of the house. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the variance for the off - street parking setback be rejected as there is space available for a driveway and perhaps at a later date a single car garage. Based on the fact no neighbors were present objecting to the drainage plan, it was deter- mined to leave it as is.

The Minnesota Housing and Redevelopment Act requires that any individual who is a commissioner must be a resident of the area of operation of the authority, which in the case of an authority created in and for a city, would be the territorial boundaries of that municipality. The Board of Commissioners has accepted Mr. Macemon's resignation and would like to recommend Mr. Garey Knudsen, Hutchinson Area Vocational Technical Institute Student Personnel Coordinator as his replacement. Mr. Knudsen has been contacted and is willing to accept the appointment as a commissioner. We shall wait to hear from you regarding any questions concerning the above recommendation, or Mr. Knudsen's appoint- ment to the HRA Board by the City Council. Thank you for your time.

At present the tree losses are running higher than anticipated, thus our expense will maybe higher. We are also preparing the rate of subsidy from the City for Council approval early this fall. With shade tree cutbacks and the "DNR" program cut back, the City probably will not be able to fund 100% of the removal cost on private property.

Sanitary Sewer line. In reviewing the attached letter from the City Engineer I am in complete agreement with Marlow regarding the steps necessary to solve this overflow problem at the corner of Second Avenue and Dale Street. Permission is requested to work with Juul Contracting in construction of these four manholes. This is not a budgeted item. q-IW. • r(612T587-5151 CITY OF HUTCHINSON 7 WASHINGTON AVENUE WEST ITCHINSON, MINN. 55350 M E M O DATE: July 22, 1981 TO: Director of Maintenance Services FROM: Director of Engineering, Planning & Protective Inspections RE: Sanitary Sewer Trunk Line Second Avenue S.W. This is a follow up to the meeting you, Finley, and I had on July 15th relative to the problem with the above- referenced line. DATE: a. The 12" line along the river which crosses Second Avenue is an old trunk line built by WPA forces. b. The 15" line from said trunk line going West on Second Avenue was built about 1960 with the express purpose of serving the high school. c. The opening in said 15" line that allows said line to over flow into the storm sewer was in place prior to 1967. d. Since 1967, at least 120 new homes have been added to that part of the sanitary system that is served by the 12" line. e. At least another 60 new homes have been added to said system between 1960 and 1967 that are served through the 15" line into the 12" line. f. All this additional flow has created a capacity problem in the 12" line. g. We are proposing to close the overflow-as part of the storm sewer reconstruction at Dale and Second Avenue. h. Based on the conditions reported by Finley, this may create a flooding of some basements at certain times. i. Finley, also, reported the possible connection of sanitary sewer and storm sewer systems near 4th and Merrill. SOLUTIONS: a. We could continue with the overflow on a permanent basis. To do so, however, we would be ignoring the polluting effect of the rive, as well as the concern of the property owner, Mr. Pat ward at Second and Dale. Director of Maintena* Services Sanitary Sewer Trunk Line - Second Ave. S.W. July 22, 1981 Page 2 b. We could continue with the overflow on a temporary basis and research the most economical construction that can be made to reduce the flow on the old 12" line and not create a problem in some other area. c. We could remove the overflow, as planned, and do research as in "b ". RECOMMENDATION: I would recommend we do "Solution b ". As part of our research we should install four (4) manholes on the existing storm sewer line (old county tile) in Zajicek's Meadow Park Addition and then smoke test the sanitary sewer to try and locate the possible sanitary sewer and storm sewer system connection. I assume we will find a connection and then before we do any major re- routing of sewer flow, we should monitor the flow, in the event our biggest problem has been storm sewer.

PAUL, MINNESOTA • 55155 Mark Schnobrich City Forester 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 Dear Mr. Schnobrich: July 15, 1981 FILE NO. 6500 -2-1-7 FAR y0 11R Op op, T I can certainly appreciate the City of Hutchinson's predicament in not being able to financially continue its systemic fungicide injection project. Since the federal Dutch elm disease demonstration program has, itself, suffered from monetary cut - backs, this has been one recom- mended management practice that has been reduced or eliminated entirely. As long as the injection equipment is still available to the City, it is acceptable to this program that Hutchinson allow its private citizens to make use of it on a fee basis. The City must abide by four consid- erations, however. They are: 1) Each resident injecting a tree must sign a release which states that systemic fungicides are used as a management tool only, that they are not a guarantee that the tree will remain forever free of a Dutch elm disease infection - that the City will still be respon- sible for condemning any tree on private property, whether or not it has been injected, if it is diseased; 2) All equipment will be used by residents only under the supervision of municipal forestry personnel; 3) All funds collected from the residents for use of this equipment will be credited to the City's Dutch elm disease management program; and, 4) The City will be responsible for replacing or repairing all lost and damaged equipment. I thank you for finding a way to maintain a disease management practice which is the first to suffer from monetary cut-backs. Used with discre- tion, systemic fungicides can give added protection to an elm tree. Please continue to follow the original reccnv endation of program personnel and encourage each individual to inject only those elms which are histor- ically or aesthetically valuable.

RDB attended that July 8th meeting in Hutchinson. The Litchfield contingent of the joint committee had heard indications that the Hutchinson City Council was reluctant to use condemnation for land acquisition and may not be as committed to the joint airport project as had previously been thought. The Litchfield contingent therefore brought to the meeting the attached listing of four items that they recommended be directed to each city council to again determine their level of commitment to this project. It was decided that each city council would meet on Tuesday July 14th to address these four points and reassess their current feelings. The two council meetings were intentionally scheduled at the same time so that action of one council would not influence the action of the other. The July 8th meeting therefore was very short and consisted of a motion to go back to the councils for new or redirection. The meeting then adjourned less than 10 minutes after it started. There were perhaps 80 people in attendance, most-from areas near one of the potential sites and opposed to the joint airport. Naturally this group was disappointed since they had expected to learn what site would be chosen and instead felt that they were getting the run around. We did remain and answer questions much in the same format as those discussed at the June 10th Public Informational meeting for another two hours. I believe that when the people left they at least did not feel that the joint committee was not responding to their questions. After the meeting the Hutchinson Mayor Ralph D. Westlund came up and intro- duced himself to RDB and asked that I attend their council meeting on June 14th. Wayne Carlson was standing nearby and said that he had no problem with my attending the Hutchinson council meeting. Westland said he would like me to make a brief presentation on the project and in particular address five or six points that have been raised in letters to the editor in the Hutcinson paper. He will send me clippings of those letters on July 9th. Councilman Ted R. Beatty also came up after the meeting.and introduced himself and asked for a copy of the June 10 Public Informational Meeting handout. I stated that I did not have any copies with me but could send one. He indicated that he would go to Gary Plotz and get a copy from the City. A copy was also mailed to Mr. Beatty on 7- 10 -81. The Joint Airport Committee decided that if the two city councils agree to pursue the project they will hold their next committee meeting in Litchfield on July 29th. Finally, RDB distributed copies of the memo dated July 8, 1981 and two layouts number 7 and 7A (attached).to the Joint Airport Committee. RDB /dkh cc: W. Carlson G. Plotz J.

Atten were Messrs. R. Keinz, J. Fortman & J. Groehler of Mn /DOT - Aero; Mayors V. Hendrickson& R. Westlund and City Admnrs. W. Carlson & G. Plotz from the two cities and R. Beckman for HNTB. Discussions focused-on the action taken by the two City Councils on July 14, the feelings the two cities have regarding commitment to the project, the normal procedures followed in land acquisition, the way or manner in which the possible eventual use of eminent domain as a last resort is discussed at future meetings, and what recommendations Mn /DOT - Aero would have for further project development. It was agreed that Mn /DOT would review the Council actions taken on July 14 and would then send letters to each City outlining the "normal" site selection, masterplanning, design, land acquisition and eventual construction procedures followed in airport project development. The Councils would then review those procedures and decide to jointly proceed, including adoption of a joint powers agreement, or drop the project. The meeting was very productive in the writer's opinion. I believe it reaffirmed a commitment by all three governmental units to pursue a joint airport, provided more understanding of the concerns of both cities and hopefully will provide means of resolving the critical issues of land acquisition procedures and a joint powers agency agreement.

Presentation of Plaques: President Patton, with great pleasure, presented plaques to Roberta Anderson and Tan Mealey in recognition of their dedicated service as President and Secretary of the Coalition during 1980. Roberta Anderson, with equal pleasure, accepted both plaques and thanked those present for the opport- unity she had to be President of the Coalition. 3. Guest Speaker - Lee Munnich Mr. Munnich discussed two papers which he had prepared dealing with the impact of state and federal budget cuts on cities in Minnesota. - He stated that City Goverrunents will need to do longer range fiscal planning in the future than they have been accustomed to doing in the past. Real service cuts by Minnesota cities are virtually certain. The earlier city officials begin planning for these cuts the more flexibility they will have in choosing those cuts which do the least damage to city residents. The next three years will be critical for Minnesota Cities. Difficult decisions about raising taxes, cutting personnel, cutting services and im- proving productivity must be made. Obtaining the solutions will require creativity, honesty and hard work by city officials. Mr. Munnich also stated that for more specific projections of the federal /state iripacts of budget cuts he needs specific financial information fran sore cities and he asked that those present send any financial informa- ticn,they have so that he can carry out further analysis.
