Minutes February 192 1962
The regular meeting of the Hutchinson Planning commission was held on Mondays
FeDruary 19, at 7:30 P.M. in the City Hall. Absent were Hoel and Dr. Thomson.
Mayor Svendsen, Falconer, and Rolfe of the City Council were present and Engwall,
Powers and Keefe.
Mr. Carlson explained the new Corrections and Changes in the proposed Zoning
ordinance. All related to adding a "General Business District" zone, which includes
all uses permitted in the Central Business District, plus six additions.
Points made concerning the Zoning Map included:
1. It will present a minimum change in existing zones to be accom-
panied by an overlay map outlining proposed expansion of these zones
for the future.
2. The fact that residences are included in the Central Business
District outline might not necessarily commercialize the property
now, so the outlines of the C.B.D. might be expanded to include
present residences.
The Mayor, and all others present, agreed that the major difficulty with any
provision of any ordinance was ENFORCEMENT.
Mr. Keefe questioned the advisability of including two-family dwellings in
a zone with single-family residential. In annexing subdivisions, could or should
single-family dwelling zone be specified?
Members of the Cite Counoil left at 8:309 and there was further discussion
of the Zoning Map.
What had beer_ designated at the meeting of January 29 as multiple -dwelling
zone to buffer the C.B.D. was returned for the most part to residential, with
changes in the outline of the C.B.D. conforming mainly to the existing pattern.
All members were asked to consider an area suitable for relocating the bulk
oil companies now located on the city's Jefferson St. property.
After further discussion, Carlson moved that the Pluming Commission reem-
mend the proposed Zoning Ordinance with all corrections and changes, together wit]
the Zoning Map, to the City Council for its inspection and approval. Torgrimson
seconded. Approved.
