August 26, 1969
A special meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to order
by Chairman Clint Tracy at 7:30 P.M. on Tuesday, August 26, 1969.
Members present: Leslie Linder, Ethne Stearns, Arnold Heil,
Also Present: Engineer Priebe; Adm. Asst. Mealey; Don Rye; Midwest Planning
Members Absent: Dr. Thompson, Tom Cone, Gordon Bublitz
Chairman Tracy introduced Mr. Don Rye who displayed maps and explained in
detail the current plans for possible traffic flow in the perimiter areas
of the City, the current land use and the existing possibilities for growth.
He pointed out the unplanned growth in the North part of the City and stressed
the importance of pursuing orderly annexation to enhance planning. He further
stressed the importance of planning along Highway 7, pointing out that the
development along the highway to the west has somewhat blocked expansion to
the north of the highway. He stressed controlling flood areas.
The main point in planning the perimeter traffic flow is to see that it
does not get blocked off with development and subdivisions.
At 9:00 P.M. Chairman Tracy called to order a meeting with the Lynn Town
Board, and Chuck Wilson representing Mr. Earl McDonald, McDonald's Trailer Court.
Members Present: Vernon Hahn, Clerk; Royal Knutson, Supervisor; Victor
Klawitter, Supervisor
Also Present: Mr. Adrey Johnson, Gerhard Froemming
Mr. Tracy introduced Mr. Wilson, Engineer for McCombs -Knutson Associates, Inc.
Mr. Wilson passed around copies of maps of the plan of McDonald's Trailer Park.
He then stated that he is asking permission to go ahead with plans for
expansion of the Mobile Home Park the way Mr. McDonald feels it should develop
and to make more water front lots available. He suggested continuing Roberts
Road on through, not necessarily in a straight line along the low area to
provide drainage.
The discussion centered around the access road to the Park. Engineer Priebe
questioned Mr. Wilson regarding plans for another road to provide two outlets
and Mr. Wilson stated that two roads were not anticipated at this time. He
suggested that the South Grade road be upgraded and extended on in as that
would be less expensive than to extend Roberts Road.
The discussion continued centering around the accessability to the Park and
the necessity for dual access , particularly during heavy snowfall.
Mr. Hahn invited Mr. Wilson to attend the Lynn town board meeting to be held
on Wednesday, August 27, 1969. It was further suggested that perhaps a meeting
with the adjoining property owners might be profitable.
Mr. Tracy stated that he felt that the subject had gone as far as it could
at this meeting.
Mr. Linder moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Heil seconded the motion
It and the meeting was adjourned at 10:30 P. M.
