' NEWS RELEASE
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
FOR RELEASE Immediate (4-21-78)
(420 STATE OFFICE BUILDING)
(ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55155)
( PHONE 612 - 296 - 2856 )
Agriculture Commissioner Bill Walker today announced a quarantine effective Monday,
April 24, 1978; which severely restricts the movement of elm wood with bark Intact
within the state. The quarantine prohibits the movement of all elm wood, including elm
firewood, into or through any home rule charter or statutory city or any shade tree
disease control area In the unincorporated areas of any county.
"I am only sorry this was not done years ago. Whether diseased or not," continued
Walker, "elm wood with bark intact cannot be transported from -one -City to -another, -from
one part of the state to another. This Is Important because the bark beetles that spread
the fungus which causes Dutch elfin disease live under the bark of elm wood. The beetles
'ay eggs and multiply under the bark. Emerging beetles can carry the spores of the
�lseasedorganism to healthy elms. This is why it is critical to restrict the movement
pf wood. �r
The quarantine does provide for the movement of such material in municipalities
`participating in the state Shade Tree Program. Elm wood with bark intact may be trans-
ported within these municipalities if such movement has been specifically approved by
city officials and if the wood is moved in accord with the local shade tree wood disposa,
' or utilization program.
"Any elm wood product or material transported within the state In violation of the
quarantine may be destroyed or returned to the origin at the owner's expense," Walker
said. The Commissioner explained that any common carrier, firm, corporation or individua:
that violates the quarantine may be charged with a misdemeanor.
"There are those who wlli say this is a severe penalty," Walker noted, "but many
municipalities have worked very hard to control the spread of Dutch elm disease. Milliors
of dollars have been spent in this endeavor. These programs will be severely undermined
If this material is brought into these municipalities. In some of our cities, the
incidence of Dutch elm disease is very low. With an aggressive sanitation program, these
cities might successfully control the disease. Such programs should not be Jeopardized
by the Introduction of these elm products or materials."

(d) PRESENTATION BY MARY BERGER AND DISCUSSION OF UTILIZING COUNCIL MEMBERS'
NAMES ON INFORMATION BROCHURE FOR CLINTON HOUSE APARTMENTS
Mary Berger, Manager of the Clinton House Apartments, appeared before the
Council and asked for permission to use the Council members' names in a
brochure that is being prepared as approving of the low-income housing
project under Section 8.
Mayor Black had reservations about the City becoming involved in a brochure,
although he is favorable of the project. It might appear that the Council
is giving approval over some of the other projects in the City. The wrong
impression could be given by endorsing a brochure for the Clinton House
Apartments.'
It was the general consensus of the Council that they should not endorse
this brochure.
(e) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASING PROPERTY AT 25 FRANKLIN STREET NORTH THROUGH
A CONTRACT -FOR -DEED
I. APPRAISAL SUBMITTED BY J. HAROLD BEYTIEN
2. APPRAISAL SUBMITTED BY HAZEL BASEMAN
Mayor Black gave brief background information on action taken several years
ago when locations were being considered and property owners north of City
Hall were contacted to sell their land. No one was willing to sell at that
time. Now Hazel Baseman has decided to sell her property at 25 Franklin
Street North and has given the City first option. Two appraisals have been
made and each is for approximately the same amount. City ownership of this
property would fit into the total downtown development concept.
Alderman Westlund remarked that recently the City planners recommended the
City purchase any property that might come up for sale, and this site was
one of the areas suggested for acquisition. He felt the price was fair.
Mayor Black commented that the property would remain rental until such time
as it is needed for over-all development. He further instructed the City
Attorney to meet with Miss Baseman to work out financial arrangements for
purchase and bring the recommendation back to the Council.
It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to
approve the purchase of the property at 25 Franklin Street North in the
amount of $40,000 and to enter into a contract -for -deed. Motion unanimously
carried.
It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to
approve the transfer of $8,000 from the Contingency Fund to the General
Fund to cover the down payment. Motion unanimously carried.

(g) CONSIDERATION OF A BOOTH AT BUILDERS SHOW APRIL 15-16 FOR BUILDING CODE
AND ZONING INFORMATION
Administrative Assistant Plotz explained that the Second Annual Jaycee,
Builders and Sports Show will be held April 15-16, 1978 at the Hutchinson
Civic Arena. He felt it would be a good idea for the City to have a booth
available to provide information to the public on the building code and
zoning information. The cost of a booth is $40.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alder-
man Westlund, to approve a booth for the City at the Builders Show. Motion
unanimously carried.
(h) CONSIDERATION OF SEWER AND WATER SERVICE ON WALLER DRIVE
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that Mr. and Mrs. John
Beck have purchased property on Waller Drive and have requested sewer and
water service from the City. At the present time there is no service on

water and sewer service can be put in.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman
Gruenhagen, to approve the service and set a public hearing for May 9, 1978
during the regular Council meeting. Motion unanimously carried.

Gruenhagen, to confirm the employment of Penny Johnson as Recreation Sec-
retary/Transit Dispatcher, effective April 17, 1978. Motion unanimously
carried,
(1) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS
Mayor Black commented on the Christmas decorations recently approved for
purchase. The question is now on how to pay the balance. In the past the
Chamber of Commerce has borrowed the money and paid back the loan with the
City contributions. Another method would be to pay for the decorations out
of the contingency fund and budget the amount back each year until it is
replaced. He didn't see any further need for the City's involvement in
the actual purchase as long as it is paid for. It should be kept in mind
to budget for future purchase so that the money will be available when
needed. Also,'to take into consideration inflation and rising costs.
Mr. Black pointed out another method would be to transfer $4,900 from the
contingency fund into the Christmas decorations fund and pay off the balance.
It was moved by Alderman Westlund to transfer $4,900 from the Contingency

(a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLERK -ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Administrative Assistant Plotz reported that on Thursday, April 13, the ap-

within three weeks. After its release, the City can then enter into nego-
tiations. The initial contact has been made with the owners, tenants, re-
garding relocation.
Mr. Plotz further reported that there has been some interest in develop-
ment of property east of Main Street, in the area known as the S&L Build-
ing, Masonic Temple, and east side of that block along Hassan to the funeral
home. He met with some of the property owners and representatives in that
block at a luncheon today. On Wednesday morning, April 12, Mr. Plotz will
meet with the developer to present the joint improvement proposals.
The Developmental Achievement Center proposal prepared jointly by the City
and School District was submitted to the DAC Board on April 3, 1978. After
the proposals were opened and reviewed, Winsted was selected as the new site.
Inasmuch as Winsted was able to appear at the DAC meeting, but no indication
was given as to where or what time the meeting would be held, the City of
Hutchinson and School District are requesting an opportunity to present the
proposal to the DAC Board.
Mr. Plotz reminded the Council members that on Tuesday, April 18, at 2:00 PM
there will be four bid openings, namely for street improvement projects, road
oil and tree removal. Prior to the bid openings, Hazel Sitz, Personnel Co-
ordinator, and Administrative Assistant Plotz wish to meet briefly with the
Council to discuss two matters of personnel.
The Workshop scheduled for Friday, April 28, 1978 will be held in the Con-
ference Room of the Hutchinson Community Hospital. Mr. Plotz will be mail-
ing out an agenda within the next few days.
Administrator Phil Graves has contacted Mr. Plotz for the Council to indi-
cate who should advertise and open bids for coronary care monitoring equip-
ment for the Hospital. The letting will be held at Noon on April 27, 1978.
Mayor Black responded that the City of Hutchinson would both advertise and
open bids for the equipment.
(b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR
Mayor Black expressed concern about the Developmental Achievement Center
proposal in that the meeting was initially listed as "closed" and then was
open. He resented the fact that Hutchinson did not receive an invitation
to be present at the meeting when other cities were able to do so. Mayor
Black felt the City and School District should pursue a meeting with the
DAC Board to present our proposal.
A request has been received for Police Officers Michael Hogan and Michael
Kirchoff to attend the Fifth Annual DWI and MATSA Conferences in St. Cloud
on May 10-12, 1978.

Council Minutes
April 11, 1978
It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to
grant permission for Officers Michael Hogan and Michael Kirchoff to at-
tend the DWI and MATSA Conferences. Motion unanimously carried.
Mayor Black made reference to a letter received from Mr. Alfred Albert of
the A&P Group dated April 4, 1978, in which he requested to be designated
the developer for the Senior Citizen Highrise and that the City select a
negotiating team to enter into negotiations with A&P for their acquisition
of the property. Mr. Black pointed out the need to consider what method
will be used to handle this project. It could be turned over to a developer
who would secure all the financing and become the owner, or it could be
financed through an industrial revenue bond and become the property of
the City once paid for. In the next two or three months it will be neces-
sary to make a decision on this matter.
Inasmuch as Tom Cone has served on the Planning Commission for 10 years
and does not wish to be re -appointed, Mayor Black appointed Dan Huntwork
to the Planning Commission for a five-year term.
It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to
approve and ratify the appointment of Dan Huntwork to the Planning Commis-
sion. Motion unanimously carried.
It was further moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruen-
hagen, to issue a Resolution of Commendation to Tom Cone in appreciation
of his service on the Planning Commission. lrbtion unanimously carried.
Mr. Harold Juul has completed his term on the Hospital Board and does not
wish to serve again. Therefore, Mayor Black appointed James W. Joyce to
the Hospital Board for a five-year term.
It was moved by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to
Approve and ratify the appointment of James W. Joyce to the Hospital Board.
Motion unanimously carried.
It was further moved by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman K. Peter-
son, to issue a Resolution of Commendation to Harold Juul as former Hos-
pital Board member. Motion unanimously carried.
Mayor Black reported the League Convention will be held June 6-9, 1978 in
Minneapolis. He wondered how many of the Council members and staff would
be able to attend.
Mr. Black remarked that he had ridden around town and looked at the property
where the owners had been notified to clean up the debris. As far as he
could tell, nothing had been done. He instructed City Attorney Schantzen
to proceed with legal action if nothing is done by property owner by the
end of the week.

met with the owners of Midwest Trailer Court. They are interested in
improving the trailer court and surrounding area and were very coopera-
tive with the City in meeting the requirements.
(d) COMMUNICATION FROM LARRY WILLMSEN
Mr. Larry Willmsen appeared before the Council and explained that Governor
Rudy Perpich has declared April 27 and 28, 1978 as Handicapped Awareness
Days in the State of Minnesota. Since he represents Region 6E in Willmar
for the Hutchinson area, he was requesting permission of the Council mem-
bers to participate by spending some time in wheel chairs. Radio station
KDUZ and the Hutchinson Leader will be participating, as well as Senator
John Bernhagen will be present for this event. All of the Council members
responded that they would be agreeable to participating, and Mr. Willmsen
said he would reserve wheel chairs for their use.
(e) COMMUNICATION FROM TEXGAS CORPORATION
Texgas Corporation has requested permission to set a mobile home on property
southeast of the plant warehouse bordering Huron Street. Mr. Del Crotteau,
Branch Manager of Texgas Corporation, asked that a permit be issued for a
period of not less than six months.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that Building Inspec-
tor Willard had been contacted by Texgas previously. Also, the Fire Chief
and Marshal are concerned about the location of the property.
Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by
Alderman Westlund, to approve a temporary permit for Texgas Corporation
for a period not to exceed January 1, 1979, contingent upon approval of
the Fire Marshal. Motion unanimously carried.
(f) COMMUNICATION FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Mr. Neil Jensen, representing the Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the
Council and requested that the Chamber receive a full packet of the Coun-
cil material which is issued to the Council members, staff and press. He
pointed out that a Chamber representative will be attending each of the
City Council meetings, and it is difficult to follow the discussion with-
out some knowledge of the business being discussed.
Mayor Black remarked that the Chamber of Commerce has requested a packet
before, but the request had been denied inasmuch as it is felt that all
the people should receive the material at the same time. The press is an

exception in this case. Also, some of the contents of the packet is of
a confidential nature and should not be available to everyone. If the
Chamber is granted this privilege, all other organizations would likewise
have to receive a packet.
Mr. Jensen responded that the confidential material could be eliminated
from the packet.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that a packet would
be made available for review at City Hall by anyone wishing to see it,
with the deletion of all confidential material.

mendation that action be taken by City Attorney Schantzen on this matter. Mayor Black

PARK d RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
The Park & Recreation Board met with "Bud" Daggett, Dr, Chernausek,
Ward Haugen and Larry Morrissette present. Also present were Fred
Roberts (Assistant Director of Public Works), Rod Keith (Recreation
Director), Gary Plotz (City Administrator), Marlow Priebe (City
Engineer), Kay Peterson (Representative from City Council), Ruth Dunn
(Hutchinson Leader), and Grace Sanstead (Secretary).
The minutes of the March meeting were read and approved by
Chairman Daggett. Otto Christensen of. the DNR came to the meeting
and showed slides of some of the areas on the Luce Line Trail in both
summer and winter conditions. He emphasized what a wonderful bicycle
trail it would be and will be ready for the Hutchinson area people
by 1979. The trail will also be used for hiking, horseback riding,
snomobiling, and skiing. $400,000 has been spent so far for the
1200 acres of land and has cost $700,000 to date. He spoke of a rest
stop every five miles and a camp ground every ten miles --preferably
near water. Although Mr. Christensen is being promotedt he will See
that the Trail is finished and thanked the Board and the City Council
for their cooperation. He also asked that people be recommended
to the task force for the trail development.
Westly Hendrickson and Gary Tushie from St. Paul came to the
meeting and showed sketches of what they have planned - to date-- in
spot areas for parks. They asked the Park Board for a projection of
parks and park planning that they have in mind --what needs and goals
relative to the city's growth. The first concern was the swimming
pool which will be north of the Civic arena, then a golf course for
the public. Chairman Daggett talked of dredging the river from thech
dam, south, through the city limits. This has been under consideration
by the Park Board for many years. Mr. Priebe said he was sure there
would be federal funds available for this work. Mr. Hendrickson asked
about any historical sites the City wished to have preserved. Kay Peterson
expressed a wish to'develop as much of the river frontage as possible.
Park d Recreation Board Minutes

April 5, 1978
It was brought up that organizations such as the Jaycees have their
own plans and it might be a good idea to have one of their representatives
attend the meetings. They can then express their desires and state how
much they would be able to help. Rod Keith said there is a need for
additional recreational fields. Mr. Daggett suggested that the planners
take population density of areas into consideration at such time in the
future that these plans will materialize. The planners will return in
May with written goals and needs for discussion regarding alternative
park system plans.
On their departure, Dr. Chernausek made a motion that we recommend
to the City Council that the raise recommended by Mr. Priebe in March
M
on increasing the contribution schedule for developer's donations to
the City be increased to 40 percent. It was seconded by Mr. Morrissette
and passed unanimously. Kay Peterson, who had opposed the increase at first,
decided it was alright; and advised an annual review by the Board, say in
April of each year, on the contributions.
Mr. Priebe requested a cable T.V. easement across the cemetary
property adjacent to the hospital property. He asked approval for said
easement on the south thirty feet of City cemetary property for a six month
period --at which time they will have installed the permanent underground
facility in the requested easement. Ward Haugen made a motion to honor the
request, seconded by Dr. Chernausek, unanimously approved.
Mr. Priebe advised the Board that the 18" x 18" plaque honoring Les Kouba
would cost around $1,000. A 12" x 18" plaque would be $712 --the first line
being free.
Mr. Deane Dietel appeared at the meeting. The Board then learned that the
City is now responsible for insurance on the target practice range in the
Armory basement at $400 a year --as it is now a recreation activity, therefore
open to the public. Mr. Plotz told us that this was explained by the City
Attorney at the last Council meeting. It can no longer be covered under
the NRA insurance, as was formerly planned, because its a public recreation
it will have to be covered by City insurance. Guidelines were set up by
Mr. Dietel: No smoking, Children under 12 must be accompanied by an approved
ON adult, etc. Dr. Chi -ausek made a motion for permiss;nn to be granted for

one year, for no cost to th City, for use of the range with a full
review in one year. It was seconded by Ward Haugen and unanimously
approved --subject to the approval of City Council.
Fred Roberts gave his report. They have had two ladder truck
demonstrations. Buildings have been cleaned and flower beds have
been uncovered. Tennis courts have been washed off and nets were
put up. Estimates are being made on rebuilding the chimney at the
Old Armory, also for repairs on the flue gate on the, dam.. Park signs
will soon be put up --when the frost is out of the ground.
Rod Keith gave his report and a list of activities being offered
this month. The jummer brochure will go out with the May utilities
mailings. April is softball meeting month in the Old Armory. The
men's commercial Slo-Pitch meeting is April 18th - women's April 12th.
Applications for recreation director assistant to replace Jeff McKay
will be coming in. A motion was made to accept Mr. Roberts and Mr. Keith's
reports by Mr. Morrissette, seconded by Dr. Chernausek, unanimously approved,
Mr. Plotz advised a Dutch Elm Grant for $7,00n to be used for sanitation
with increases from 14 to 114 trees. Property owners have been allowed un
to $50 for tree removal.
With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9;50 p.m.
The next meeting will be on May 1. There was no decision whether this
will be a noon or evening meeting. Mr. Haugen commented that it is hard
for him to have noon meetings on Wednesdays.
Don Falconer will, take the position on the seven -member Board
representing the Park and Recreation Board, on the Senior. Citizen
Advisory Board.

Motion carried unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM R-2 TO R-3 AN AREA WHICH INCLUDES
THE PARK TOWERS HIGHRISE
Chairman Cone opened the hearing at 7:31 P.M. by reading the public hearing
notice as published in the Hutchinson Leader on March 10, 1978. At this
time he also read the memo from staff containing their recommendation of
approval. A letter from Tom and Susan McClure dated March 20, 1978 was
read to everyone present by Chairman Cone which stated they objected to
the rezoning.
Marlow Priebe, Director of Public Works, described the area being considered
for rezoning to R-3. The reason he brought it before the Planning Commission
was that in doing research he discovered Park Towers was incorrectly zoned
when the new zoning map was drawn. The proper zoning would be R-3 and rather
than spot zone one block, Mr. Priebe suggested a larger area to be rezoned.
Gayle Wick -Felt this area had been upgraded from what
500 Fischer it was, commercial to residential.
Paul Christen directed a question to Marlow Priebe regarding the basic dif-
ferences between an R-2 District and an R-3 District. Mr. Priebe stated the
major difference would be that apartments are allowed under an R-3 District.
There are additional differences allowable with a conditional use permit,
however, they are handled on a case by case basis with a public hearing.
Gayle Wick -If something were established before the
zoning ordinance than it is grandfathered
in and it would be hard to chase them out.
Melvin Klockman -If the only reason for the rezoning were to
545 Franklin correct an error in zoning of Park Towers,
then why make another mistake by rezoning more.

Jude Gardner
- One reason for the rezoning is because
504 South Hassan
Park Towers is now non -conforming, and the
staff is not interested in spot zoning,
why rezone 14 square blocks to bring Park
Towers into correct zoning district? In
speaking to the neighbors, they would like
to keep the neighborhood residential. The
zoning Ordinance is a set of promises to
the people.
Wallace Wallner
-Stated he had talked to 40 people on Hassan
536 S. Hassan
Street and Main Street and they have signed
a petition stating they are opposed to the
neighborhood being rezoned which will allow
construction of apartments.
Gayle Wick
-Asked for a show of hands of those who were
a.
against the rezoning.
Bill Haase
-Stated he was in favor of the rezoning. When
505 Main S.
living on Main Street you are always fighting
the noise. An R-3 Allows for apartments and is
available if the need arises but people do not
need to tear their houses down. The Planning
Commission does control the quality of what is
built in Hutchinson. He explained there is no
danger in rezoning, there will be no immediate
change, Hassan Street won't change and the
people do have control.
Jude Gardner -The results of the Comprehensive Plan will be
in in the Fall of 1978 so why rezone now? Is
there something you know about? He then directed
a question to Marlow Priebe regarding the housing
on Clinton and Merrill Streets.
City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe stated the front and side yard set-
backs are the same in an R-2 and R-3, however, there is five feet'less re-
quired in a rear yard setback for an R-3 Zone than in an R-2 Zone.
Jude Gardner -Asked about the off-street parking and the
play area for these apartments on Clinton and
Merrill.
Marlow Priebe answered by stating the parking has not been started since they
are in the middle of construction but will have the required amount for parking.
Wallace Wallner -Stated he thoughtyou voted in a demoncracy.
Milan Braun -He would not like to see an interpretation of
436 Hassan S. the apartments on Milwaukee on Hassan or Main
Street. He would no like to see the area
destroyed just to bu an apartment.

present they don't really need a spokesman to
represent them. People should be able to rely
on the zoning, if you change the zoning then you
change the area. He felt a great deal of time
was spent in looking at the area and it was zoned
accordingly, therefore it shouldn't be changed.
Denton Wilson
-In referring to the memo stating their would be
546 Main Street S.
no immediate change, he wondered if his taxes

would go up by being zoned R-3. Also he in-

quired as to whether the City would be getting
Chairman Tom Cone explained
Federal monies by rezoning?
Director of Public Works Priebe stated he did not know of anyone interested
in building an apartment in the area being considered. If no one found it
favorable to do -so, it could be 10 years before a change were made.
Bill Holquist -Stated he has an old home in this area which
555 Franklin St. he chose because it was close to downtown and
the churches. This is worth more than money and
we should think about moral standards not just
dollars and cents. Don't throw it all to the
wind and let them build apartments in this area.
Steven Spaudie
-Lives on the fringe area and has not been in
606 Brown
Hutchinson as long as some of them present but
he is concerned about the rezoning just the same.
If the rezoning is done for the purpose of Park
Towers, then why not rezone only Park Towers.
He chose Hutchinson to live because it is a good
community. If the zoning is changed he feels
somebody will come in and build something even-
tually.
Dana Belck
-Stated he was opposed to it all the way.
Emmitt Haroldson
-Asked is the rezoning for the City, for the
335 Glen St. So.
business district or for the apartments?
Chairman Tom Cone explained
the request for rezoning, and the reasoning
behind it.
Jude Gardner
-Felt people do not really understand what is
going on with the rezoning. People within 350
feet were notified and do have a say on the issue.
Mrs. Robert Herbert
-Asked if her home could be condemned if an
Route 1
apartment were built next door.

Elden Willard, Building Official, stated the property belongs to Mrs. Gertrude
Juergenson who is presently in Burns Manor. Marlow Priebe explained a Condi-

the remodeling is more than ten percent of the value of the home. Mr. Plotz,
Administrative Assistant, stated the request for a conditional use permt was
made by Rev. R. S. Crouse who is taking care of the house for Mrs. Juergenson.
Wally Teich -Stated he owned the house next door and if he

Marlow Priebe stated that this request required a conditional use permit be-
cause part of it is in the Flood Fringe area and has to meet the flood protec-
tion elevation, which there should be no problem with. He also pointed
out they have indicated sufficient number of parking. However, in a C-4
District you need 25 feet for side yard set back and the corner of the pro-
posed building is less than 25 feet, therefore, this should be taken care
of before the next regular meeting.
Mr. Robert Wagner pointed out there are residents to the East and the In-
vestment Co. will put up a six foot redwood fence. They are also planning
to put i n a curb ani+ pave the parki ng l ot.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT MEETING
Tuesday, April 18, 1978
1. The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Bob Stearns at 12:05 P.M.
with the following members being present: Ralph Westlund, Tom O'Connell,
Don Abbott, Dennis Hukriede, Don Glas, Lloyd Torgrimson, Marlin Torgerson,
and Jay Alrick in addition to Vice Chairman Stearns. Also present were Mayor
Black, Administrative Assistant Plotz, Consultant Clarence Simonowicz, B.J.
Smiley and Al Albert from the A & P Group, Clarice Coston from the Chamber of
Commerce and from the HRA Board were Jean Lerberg, Paul Ackland, Mary_ Reith
and Everett Hantge.
2. The minutes of the previous meetings were approved on motion by Ralph Westlund
and seconded by Tom O'Connell, the motion carried unanimously.
3. Mr. Al Albert distributed a handout to everyone present dated April 18, 1978
regarding downtown development, their proposals for five different sites and
general statements with regard to the acquisition of these properties. He
referred to the letter from A & P written April 4, 1978 in which he asked to
be named the developer for the Senior Citizen Highrise and that the City select
a negotiating team to enter into negotiations with them for acquisition of the
site. Mr. Albert pointed out their prime effort was for development of the
downtown commercial area and he felt the Library Square should be the central
core of the City. The major project he proposes would be to acquire the S & L
Building site, plus the 22 foot building that is immediately south of it, and the
Masonic Lodge Temple building east of it, developing the first floor for retail
with possibly office space above that.
Other suggestions made by the A & P Group included: acquisition of the Old
Armory buidling for more retail space; demolish the cold storage building to
construct something to improve the entrance to Hutchinson; high density housing
proposed for the area east of the cold storage site; and they felt the Medical
Clinic site would be ideal for multiple family housing. Mr. Albert also
suggested remodeling the rear of the downtown stores for an entrance to be as
attractive as the front entrance and have parking in the rear of the stores, all
allowing easy access to each store.
Mr. Albert reported on his last contact with National Foods in which they indicated
remaining in their present location since the development of an elderly highrise
could possibly be near their store.
Al Albert suggested the City move as fast as possible with acquisition of the
S & L site and area, and construction could possibly begin within six to eight
months.
At this time, Mr. Plotz informed them of an informal meeting with the Masonic
Temple and owners of funeral home and the S & L building at which meeting a
willingness to sell was indicated.

Mr. Plotz also reported that the City Council approved acquiring the home
of Hazel Baseman located at 25 Franklin North, Hutchinson. A list of all
City owned property was requested by Al Albert.
It was the consensus of the Downtown Development Committee to not make any
recommendations at this time to allow for more time to talk over the recommenda-
tions suggested by the A & P Group.
Mr. Plotz gave an update regarding the acquisition of property for the elderly
highrise site. Tom Ruffner representing G.R. Pelton and Associates, the appraiser,
went with Jean Lerberg on Thursday, April 13, 1978 to inspect all the potential
sites for acquisition. Gary Plotz also referred to a letter from HUD dated
April 11, 1978 which stated the City must choose a site and begin acquisition,
procedures by April 30, 1978 which the City has now complies with, and HUD
would like a progress report on the acquisition program by May 10, 1978.

Pursuant to Section 6.05 of Zoning Ordinance No. 464, the Hutchinson Planning Commission
is hereby submitted its finding of fact and recommendation with resepect to the afore-
mentioned request for variance.
HISTORY
Mrs. Charles Pearson submitted an application for variance on February 15, 1978 to
construct an addition to the existing building located at 124 -4th Avenue Northeast,
which is non -conforming. A public hearing was held on March 21, 1978 at which time
no one was present to be heard.because of an error in typing the notice mailed to
the surrounding property owners stated March 31, 1978 as the hearing date. Therefore,
all further action by the Planning Commission and Council was invalid and a second
hearing was scheduled for April 18, 1978, and notices were mailed to all surrounding
property owners. At the public hearing on April 18, 1978, no one was present wishing
to speak for or against the request for variance.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The required application and fee were submitted.
2. A public hearing was published in the Hutchinson Leader -on Friday, April 7, 1978 and
surrounding property owners also received notice.
3. In a memo dated April 18, 1978, Building Official Elden Willard stated an inspection
of the property and building owned by Mr. Pearson at the corner of Bluff and Fourth
Avenue Northeast (known as the Book Bindery Building) on April 13, 1978 disclosed
the East half of the building being used for storage of materials, not off street
parking.
4. At the public hearing, on April 18, 1978, Marlow Priebe, City Engineer, recommended
the trailer on this property be removed permanently, the west side be cleaned up
permanently and the parking area be put to use as stated in the memo referred to
above dated April 18, 1978.

It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the request for variance be
approved contingent -upon his satisfying the requirements listed above.

RESOLUTION NO. 6116
A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE FROM SECTION 9 OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITION
TO EXISTING BUILDING
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA:
FINDINGS
1. Mr. Charles (Chuck) Pearson has applied for a variance from Section 9
of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for construction of an addition to an existing
building at the following location, to -wit:
124 Fourth Avenue N.E., with legal description of Block 19,
N 1/2 of City, West 96.65 feet of Lot 3 North of Right -of -
Way and Lot 4 and East 40 feet of Lot 5
2. The Planning Commission has reviewed the application for a variance and
has recommended to the City Council that the application be granted.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic
conditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the
values of property in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance
upon the Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding
property, it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the pro-
posed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property, unreasonably increase the conjestion in the public streets, increase
the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair
health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the in-
tent of the ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are
peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply gen-
erally to other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely
serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demon-
strable hardship or difficulty.
rnWrT ITC T nN
The application for variance for the purpose designated is granted based upon the
findings set forth above.
Adopted by the City Council this 25th day of April, 1978.

Parcel "A" - North half of Lots 9 and 10, Block 21
Parcel "B" - South half of Lots 9 and 10, Block 21,

sion and the effect of the proposed use on the health, safety, and welfare of the
occupants of the surrounding lands, existing and anticipated traffic conditions, and
the effect on values of properties in the surrounding area and the effect of the use
on the Comprehensive Plan.
3. The Council has determined that the proposed use will not be detrimental to
the health, safety, or general welfare of the community nor will it cause serious
traffic congestion nor hazards, nor will it seriously depreciate surrounding property
values, and the proposed use is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
Zoning Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
CONCLUSION
The application for Conditional Use Permit for the purpose designated is granted,'
based upon the findings set forth above.
Adopted by the City Council this 25th day of April, 1978.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION
At this time I would like to take this opportunity to express my
thanks to you for your participation during Handicapped Awareness
Days on April 27th and 28th. Through your participation we hope
you will become conscious of the visible and invisible barriers
handicapped people face in their daily living.
Please take a minute to consider our community. Think of the main
service buildings that everyone at sometime needs to use: the
City Hall, the Library and the Post Office. Have you even thought
how you would manage without them? Many handicapped people are
forced to because of inaccessibility. Add schools and churches to
the list. They too are ofter not accessible to handicapped people.
By accessibility we mean more than being able to get in the front
door. It doesn't do a person much good to get into a restaurant
and then find out he or she cannot use the bathroom.
During the time you are in the wheelchair I urge you to try to
carry out your normal daily activities. Each time you must "cheat"
hopefully you will think of the frustrations of the handicapped.
The evening of Thursday, April 27th, there will be a program at
the Hutchinson Area Vocational Technical Institute starting at
7:30 p.m. Our guest speaker will be Mr. Gene Loffler of Jordan,
Minnesota. Mr. Loffler, who has multiple sclerosis, is a consul-
tant for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, a former senator from
Iowa, a member of the White House Conference on the Handicapped,
as well as the Governor's Conference on the Handicapped. Mr.
Loffler will speak briefly and have a slide presentation on
accessibility and architectural barriers. If your schedule allows,
we would like to have you attend this program and share with us
the problems you encountered during the time you were in a wheel-
chair.

Again, thank you for your contribution in making Handicapped
Awareness Days in Hutchinson a success.
Sincerely,
Larry Willmsen

Dear Action News:
April 18, 1978
FOR YOUR INFORMATION)
We are in receipt of your letter dated April 6, 1978 and would like
to respond.
Mr. James M. Waldron wrote to the City on February 8, 1978 regarding
litter and debris in the yard of a neighbor. His letter was referred to
the City Council for their meeting of February 14, 1978. The City Attorney,
M.D. Schantzen, was instructed to take legal action on this matter.
Enclosed are copies of two letters written by City Attorney Schantzen and
dated March 1, 1978. A period of 10 days is required before the Chief
of Police is requested to enforce the City Ordinance.
On April 6 and 7, the Chief of Police had two Police Officers personally
contact the property owners to inform them they must clean up the debris.
From the date_of contact the property owner has 10 days to correct the
condition before legal action can be taken by the City Attorney.
In checking with the Police Department, the Chief of Police has informed
our office that Mr. Waldron did not talk to either him or his secretary
regarding this matter. The dispatchers in the Police Office did not have
access to the files nor did they have any knowledge of this situation.
When Mr. Waldron appeared at the City Council meeting on March 28, he was
informed by the City Attorney that the property owner had 10 days in which
to clean up his property or else the matter would be referred back to the
City Attorney for prosecution following contact by the Police Department.
That amount of time would not elapse until April 16 or 17, 1978.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

Subject: On Site Monitoring
Community Development Block Grant Program
B -76 -DN -27-0012
On January 19, 1978, Nancy Freeman, George Mejia, Bill Middleton,
Sherm Burton, and John Connors of my staff undertook an on-site
monitoring visit of Hutchinson's Community Development Block Grant
program in accordance with HUD's responsibilities outlined in Sec-
tion 570.909 of the Regulations. Those components monitored included
general progress in site acquisition for a housing project and the
completed home rehabilitation program. The following represents the
issues raised during the monitoring visit which will require further
actions, as specified, on the part of the city.
First, we wish to commend the city for excellent work in developing
and administering their rehab program. Our review included a tour
of houses that had been rehabilitated and we were very pleased with
the results. Homer Pittman of your staff deserves special recognition
for his efforts.
In contrast, we are deeply concerned with the city's difficulty in
selecting a site for a future housing project. We approved your
Community Development program on July 1, 1976 and fully expected
timely decisions to be made and letters of intent to be sent promptly.
After our January visit, we sent our Chief of Real Estate Valuation,
Clyde Gillespie to Hutchinson to inspect the prospective sites. He
was able to determine that seven of the eleven proposed locations
would not meet neighborhood standards and should be eliminated from
consideration. Four sites remain potentially acceptable and the city
must choose one and begin acquisition procedures by April 30.
2.
This would allow ample time to begin appraisals and negotiations
by July 1, 1978. If no measurable progress has been made by then,
we will begin imposing sanctions that could result in cancelling
the grant and revoking the Letter of Credit.
Please send us a status report on any progress made in implementing
your acquisition program by May 10. We must caution you that we can
give no assurance of Section 8 or Low Rent Public Housing funds once
a site is ready. This will require further efforts on your part.
We appreciate the candor and cooperation shown by yourself, Gary
Plotz, Administrative Assistant, Jean Lerberg, HRA Executive Director,
and the city's staff. We believe this matter can be.resolved to
everyone's satisfaction. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to call your Program Representative, Nancy Freeman, at
725-4721.
Sincerely,
