JIM HAWKS, COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING
Jim Hawks presented his views on past growth and future growth and planning
for the City of Hutchinson, especially as pertains to updating the present
Comprehensive Plan and qualifications for 1170111 program. He stated that if
application were filed today for 11701", the earliest approval could be
received would be between January and June of 1970, or later.
He emphasized that all plans have to be approved by the State Highway Dept.,
the State Planning Agency and the local School Board so their needs will be
considered in comprehensive plans.
Engineer Priebe stated that the city's plan now needs updating because it is
old, should qualify for "70111, zoning is outdated, street patterns need
updating, and the city has installed new water, sewer and storm sewer lines
which should be included and considered in future planning.
Mr. Hawks agreed to present cost estimates for updating of the present Com-
prehensive Plan , including qualification for 1170111 program.
