Hutchinson Planning Commission Tuesday, October 20, 1981 Page 2 Staff had made a recommendation that June 1, 1982 be specified as a completion date for the exterior of the building, landscap- ing and surfacing of the parking lot. Mr. Miller questioned if we had a lot of rain in the spring if he would be able to get the parking lot surfaced by June 1, 1982. Mr. Romo inquired about the exterior of the building to be moved in. Mr. Miller replied new siding would be put on the house. The hearing was closed at 7:41 P.M. on motion by Clint Tracy. Seconded by Roland Ebent the motion unanimously carried. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of the requested conditional use permit contingent upon the exterior of the building and landscaping be complete by June 1, 1982 and the parking lot surfacing be complete by July 1, 1982. Seconded by Clint Tracy, the motion carried unanimously. (c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY MR. CURTIS ERICKSON The hearing was opened at 7:42 P.M. by Chairman Erickson with the reading of publication #2823 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, October 9, 1981. Mr. Erickson called on the Assistant City Attorney, Mr. Jim Schaefer, for a definition on cluster housing. He stated in his mind cluster housing was a group of dwellings located on one parcel of land and having a common yard or court as defined under definitions in the Ordinance. Chr. Erickson then asked for comments from the audience. Mr. Roger Mies, 1210 Lewis Ave., stated he was opposed to Mr. Erick - sons proposal. He built his home in a R-1 zoning district and felt it would stay that way. Mr. Curtis Erickson explained he planned on living in the unit and felt it would be a beautiful house. Sandy Cornell, 1204 Lewis Ave., stated she was opposed to the plan because she was afraid some people in the future might want to do the same thing but possibly wouldn't build as nice a one as Mr. Erick- son had proposed. Hutchinson Planning Commission Tuesday, October 20, 1981 Page 3 It was the consensus of the Commission members that this plan was of a duplex rather than a form of cluster housing. The hearing was closed at 8:02 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty and seconded by Larry Romo. The motion unanimously carried. Mr. Larry Romo then made a motion to recommend to the City Council to reject the requested Conditional Use Permit. Seconded by Bill Backen, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY STAFF TO REZONE ALL OF BLOCKS 19 & 20, NORTH HALF CITY OF HUTCHINSON AND VACATED PROSPECT STREET LYING BETWEEN SAID BLOCKS 19 & 20 FROM C-2 TO IC -1 Chr. Erickson opened the hearing at 8:03 P.M. with the reading of publication #2825 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, October 9, 1981. Director of Engineering, Mr. Marlow Priebe, explained the reason for the request in rezoning is for more flexibility to allow for more improvement to the area. There are many buildings in the area which are non -conforming. The hearing was closed at 8:05 P.M. on motion by Clint Tracy and seconded by Bill Backen. The motion unanimously carried. After discussion, Mr. Roland Ebent then made a motion to recommend to the City Council approval of the request for rezoning from C-2 to IC -1. Seconded by Ted Beatty, the motion carried unanimously. (e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY CHUCK PEARSON (WOODWORKERS FOR JESUS, LTD) The hearing was opened at 8:06 P.M. by Chairman Erickson with the reading of publication #2824 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, October 9, 1981. Discussion on parking followed and it was determined they had suf- ficient parking. However, it was pointed out the zoning ordinance requires the parking area to be hard -surfaced at the time a build- ing permit is applied for. The hearing was closed at 8:10 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty and seconded by Clint Tracy. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Ted Beatty then made a motion to recommend approval of the requested conditional use permit contingent upon the IC -1 zoning is approved and that the parking and surface of the parking lot meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Seconded by Larry Romo, the motion unanimously carried. Hutchinson Planning Commission Tuesday, October 20, 1981 Page 4 4. OLD BUSINESS None 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) REVIEW OF SKETCH PLAN FOR SUBDIVISION PLAN OUTSIDE OF CITY LIMITS (BERTHA PRIEVE, ETAL) Chr. Erickson explained that because this area is within the 2 -mile radius of city limits the county is asking for a recommendation. City Engineer, Marlow Priebe, had written a memo dated October 6, 1981 in which, he made a list of recommendations before approval. After discussion, Ted Beatty made a motion to recommend approval to the City Council with a 66' (matter of fact) road right of way and easements be provided as Mr. Priebe recommended. Seconded by Clint Tracy, the motion carried unanimously. (b) DISCUSSION ON PROPOSED MOBILE HOME PARK (PUD) Mr. Gordon Hedlund explained to the Commission his plans to further develop his mobile home trailer park known as "Country Club Terrace". The area of expansion is about 15 acres. It has been surveyed, drain- age has been considered and the engineering plans for water and sewer are being processed. He went on to say this project would be somewhat like a PUD in that individual lots would be sold. Financing is still a question. FHA would like to see the streets dedicated to the City and then have the city maintain them. However, this is not mandatory. He questioned the Commission about industrial revenqe bonds and they wondered if this would fall under the guide- lines for industrial bonds. Chr. Erickson then asked staff for a format on guidelines for Mobile Home PUD'S. (c) 1982 IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS Director of Engineering, Marlow Priebe, reviewed the improvement projects for 1982. It was decided by the Commission to have a special meeting on Wed., October 28, 1981 at 12:00 Noon at which time the members will take a bus tour and see each area that is scheduled for improvement. Hutchinson Planning Commission Tuesday, October 20, 1981 Page 5 (d) MISCELLANEOUS It was brought up by some of the members of the Commission that two property owners had not complied with the stipulation set forth by the Planning Commission concerning conditional use per- mits, namely, Angela Amundson and Larry Sorenson. Staff was in- structed to check into this matter. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting adjourned at 9:20 P.M. on motion by Ted Beatty. Seconded by Clint Tracy, the motion carried unanimously.
