April 5, 1966
A special meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to
order by Chairman Curt Schafer at 12:45 P.M., April 5, 1966, in the
Council Chambers at City Hall. Present were Harry Hanson, Floyd Hoel,
Clinton Tracy, Lloyd Torgrimson, Alderman Les Linder and Engineer Charles
Wilson. Absent was Dr. A. J. Thompson.
ELMER MERICKEL PRELIMINARY PLAT
The original preliminary plat as approved by the Planning Commission on
February 21, 1966, showed Goebel Street running north to the property
owned by Dr. Huebert and Dr. Bretzke, and Lake Street (as a half -street)
from Milwaukee north.
The revised preliminary plat discussed by the City Council showed no streets
north and south, and for this reason the Plat was returned to the Planning
Commission for further consideration.
Discussion.
Conclusions --
1. The commission has two choices
a) Accept the revised plat, or
b) Reject or table the revised plat, which would halt development
for the time being.
2. There are several streets west of Goebel Street - Charles, Larson
and Kay Streets - which could provide north -south access to Roberts
Road in long-range planning for this southwest area.
3. It would be difficult for the developers (Merickel, Bretzke, Huebert)
to obtain property necessary to make Lake Street full width.
Motion was made by Harry Hanson, seconded by Lloyd Torgrimson, that the
Planning Commission recommends to the City Council that it approves the
Revised Preliminary Plat submitted by Elmer Merickel for the land described
in Publication No. 962. Motion carried.
Meeting adjourned at 2:15 P.M.
Floyd Hoel, Secretary
