DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AND HUD EVALUATION OF HOUSING SITES
On March 7 the Downtown Development Committee received the following recommendation from
the A&P Group for a HUD funded housing site:
First Choice - National Tea Site
Second -Choice --Cold Storage -Site
Third Choice - Medical-Cliuic Site
On the afternoon of March 7. -Robert -Swenson and -Clyde Gillespie of HUD made -an inspection
of the 11 sites under consideration. ---It was verbally communicated -to Clarence-Simonowicz;
Jean Lerberg,_-the A&P Group, and myself that sites 42, #3, 44, 16, #7, #'9, -and #10 are un-
acceptable sites. --Please note that the A&P'.s second choice, the -Cold Storage sitL-, would
not be acceptable.
Sites #1, #5, #8, and #11 were found to be acceptable. It was pointed out that site #1,
Albrecht site, would be difficult to acquire because of the severance -damages -involving
two cleared -parking -lots and the high acquisition costs of the other buildings_�see_at-
tached letters).
HOUSING SITE RECOMMENDATION = MEETING SCHEDULED THURSDAY, -MARCH -23
A joint meeting of the -Downtown Development Committee, City Council;-HRA,--and-the Community
Development Advisory Board has been -scheduled for Thursday, -March 23, between 11:45_ A.M.
and 1:00 P.M.
The purpose of the meeting is to recommend the housing site from the various alternatives
being considered.
UTILIZATION OF THE OLD ARMORY SHOOTING RANGE
In the basement portion of the Old Armory there is a shooting range that has been utilized
by the National Guard on a monthly basis, and occasionally by the City's Police Department.
The City Park and Recreation Board has been approached to allow use of the shooting range
facility under the parks and recreation program. Board members favor such a program if
proper insurance and guidelines are established. After consulting with City Attorney
Schantzen, I have been informed that the City does have insurance protection with the ac-
tivity being part of the City's recreation program.
Guidelines have been established for the shooting range, as a result of a meeting with
Dean O'Borsky, George Field, Rod Keith, Jeff McKay, Deane Dietel, and myself. (See at-
tached memo and copy of Guidelines.)

In response to your letter of February 28, 1978 Robert Swenson and
Clyde C. -Gillespie of -our Multifamily -staff completed_a preliminary
on-site inspection on March 7, 1978 of the 11 sites which your
Authority is now considering to acquire for the purpose -of- construe -----
ting a Multifamily Hi -Rise for the elderly.-
The
lderly:
The sites were inspected for the sole purpose of:Zetermining if -they -
would meet HUD criteria for neighborhood standards:-- Not taken into -
consideration were various costs attributed to acquisition, reloca-
tion, and on-site improvements. Budget was not a criterion. Only
location was considered which will be subject to change when formal
processing and an environmental study are completed.
Based on this inspection and on a review of all data at hand, -the
team found --that sites Nos. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and -10, for various -rea-
sons, do not meet.neighborhood standards at the present tome and were -
considered unacceptable.
Sites Nos. 1, 8, and 11 at this time could--be-,considered--acceptable.-
Site No. 5 is also acceptable, providing the flood control problem
can be worked out satisfactorily. From past experience it appears
that possible severance damage, which chould result in high acquisi-
tion cost, could be sustained if site No. 1 is utilized.
If you have further questions regarding this determination, our
staff is available for consideration.

Dear Mr. Buenger:
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
On February 28, 1978 the City sent you a map of the various housing sites under
consideration, and furthermore, I asked you to review the map and visit Hutchin-
son to see the respective sites.
On three of those sites, No. 5, 6 and 7, there are some -flood plain considera-
tions. The City Engineer, Marlow Priebe, has taken land elevations and prepared
the attached map.
The flood protection elevation was established by the Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources in a correspondence dated September 13, 1974. Based on the
stationing measurements, the flood protection level for site No. 5 is between
1,046.0 and 1,046.4. On site No. 6 and No. 7, the elevation is between 1,042.5
and 1,042.8. It is noted that on site No. 5 the ingress and egress off of First
Avenue Northwest would be above the flood protection elevation.
Please take this information into consideration in your evaluation on whether or
not the sites are acceptable or unacceptable, respectively. If any of these
sites affected by the flood plain elevation would be unacceptable, please indi-
cate to the City whether or not the site could become acceptable by building up
through filling or structural design.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

Dear Mr. Buenger:
This letter is to follow up our telephone conversation of Friday, Feb-
ruary 24, 1978. ;
You had requested a map of the various housing sites under consideration
for City acquisition through the Community Development Discretionary Grant.
It is my understanding that after you have reviewed the attached map, you
or your representative will be visiting Hutchinson to examine the sites,
j
and subsequently to provide an evaluation in the form of stating that the
•�
respective sites are either acceptable or not acceptable. Any additional
comments regarding the sites would be welcome.
_ The City would appreciate a written response and evaluation of the sites
within the next three weeks, as we anticipate holding a joint meeting of
-
the City Council, HRA, Downtown Development Committee, and the Community
Development Advisory Board on Thursday noon, March 23.
The need for rapid action on these sites is apparent, as Nancy Freeman of
HUD has indicated that monies allocated to Hutchinson under the 1976-77
grant application have a possibility of being withdrawn if said monies con-
tinue to remain uncommitted.
.'
We are looking forward to hearing from you so that we can set up a date and
j
time for a tour of the sites.
Sincerely,
CITY OF HUTCHINSON

4. PUBLIC HEARING - 8:00 P.M.
(a) S.E. DRAINAGE AREA IMPROVEMENT (PROJECT 78-03)
Mayor Black opened the Public Hearing at 8:00 P.M. by reading Publication
No. 2028, Notice of Hearing, Project 78-03. This improvement project will
be for storm sewer and appurtenances of the following areas:
Southeasterly Drainage District Outlet
School Road and T.H. 7 West Drainage System
Loren's Third Addition Drainage System
Shady Ridge Road Area Drainage System
Following an explanation of the procedure for public improvement under
Section 429.011 to 429.111 of the Minnesota Statutes, Mayor Black called upon
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe to present his proposal for
Project 78-03.
Mr. Priebe commented that a previous Public Hearing for Project 78-03 was
held on December 13, 1977. No definite decision was reached regarding this
project, and since that time additional property has been included in the
improvement project area, thus calling for another hearing. The new proposed
outlet route will include a 42 -inch outlet pipe for the southeast drainage
district from Hassan Street South easterly on Fifth Avenue Southeast and then
through the sewage treatment plant property to the river. The estimated
cost of the project is about one cent per square foot of property affected.

Council Minutes
February 27, 1978
Mayor Black opened the hearing to the public and asked if anyone present
wished to be heard.
The following made inquiries regarding Project 78-03:
Leslie Smith Inquired what work was done on Fifth Avenue
346 Monroe South last year. Asked when curb and gutter will
be put in on Monroe.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe
responded that last year sanitary sewer was
put in, and the year before it was a lateral
line. A new line was put in on Monroe in-
stead of curbing.
There being no one else present wishing to be heard regarding Project 78-03,
it was moved by Alderman Westlund to close the hearing at 8:10 P.M. Seconded
by Alderman K. Peterson, the motion unanimously carried.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman

and adopt Resolution No. 6093 entitled Ordering Improvement and Preparation
of Plans. Motion unanimously carried.
5. COMMUNICATIONS, MgUESTS AND PETITIONS

Council Minutes
February 27, 1978
(d) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR "ON -SALE" NON -INTOXICATING MALT LIQUOR LICENSE
FOR MARCH 17-19, 1978 AT CIVIC ARENA
Both Mayor Black and City Attorney Schantzen had reservations about the
City issuing itself a malt liquor license to sell beer at the Civic Arena
for a broomball tournament to be held March 17-19. Mr. Schantzen pointed
out that there would be a liability problem which would require additional
insurance coverage for the Arena.
Chief of Police 0`Borsky raised questions regarding the percentage of spec-
tators and players in attendance who would be under the age of 19 and also
the negative influence that 3.2 beer could have on crowd behavior.
It was the consensus of the Council that the City should not issue itself
a malt liquor license, but if another organization leased the Arena and
applied for such a license, the application would be given favorable con-
sideration.
Alderman Westlund asked to withdraw the request for an "On -Sale" Non -Intox-

8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
(a) CONSIDERATION OF MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT RADIO EQUIPMENT
(DEFERRED JANUARY 24, 1978)
Administrative Assistant Plotz reported on a meeting held by all the en-
tities interested in a radio maintenance contract. A representative from
Mankato Mobile Radio presented a proposal. The maintenance contract for
the Police Department as reviewed at the January 24, 1978 Council meeting
would not be changed regardless of whether or not the other entities enter
into an agreement with Mankato Mobile Radio. It is, therefore, Police Chief
O'Borsky's request to accept the contract far a one-year period with a re-
fund provision.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund to approve the main-
tenance contract and enter into an agreement with Mankato Mobile Radio for
a one-year period, with a refund provision, for the Police Department.
Seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, the motion unanimously carried.

FOR HANDICAPPED PEOPLE
Miss Kathy Bauer, a member of the Region 6E staff, explained the Region 6E
"Access Project" to the Council. She then presented a slide presentation
on architectural barriers that prevent access to buildings and other areas
by handicapped people.
Mayor Black informed Miss Bauer that the City Council has already given
consideration to some of the problems confronting handicapped people, and
this year during the construction season curb cuts are to be put in along
Main Street for accessibility to retail stores.
(b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY GERALD
FISHER WITH FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION
Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder-
man K. Peterson, to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 6094 entitled
Resolution Granting Conditional Use Permit Under Section 6.07, C-5 of 1975
Zoning Ordinance to Allow Remodeling of Existing Garage. Motion unani-
mously carried.
(c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY F. W. (JIM) SCHAEFER
WITH FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson to waive reading
and adopt Resolution No. 6095 entitled Resolution Granting Variance from
Section 6.05, B-3 of Zoning Ordinance to Allow An Addition to Home. Seconded
by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.
(d) CONSIDERATION OF PARK CONTRIBUTION SCHEDULE AS SUBMITTED BY MARLOW PRIEBE
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that recently he had
recommended to the Planning Commission that the park contribution schedule
be updated. The proposed schedule has been adjusted to be in line with
the present land values in and around the City of Hutchinson.
The general feeling of the Council was that a 40% increase in the park con-
tribution schedule was too high.
It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, to
refer the Park Contribution Schedule back to City Engineer/Public Works
Director Priebe for further review and recommendation. Motion unanimously
carried.

Council Minutes
February 27, 1978
(e) CONSIDERATION OF REVIEW USAGE OF BUILDING AT CORNER OF SECOND AVENUE AND
FRANKLIN STREET WITH RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING COMMISSION OF STRONG ACTION
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that the property owner
had requested a zoning change some time back when work was done to convert
one apartment unit into commercial. The building is located in a C-3 zone
and was built prior to the ordinance in 1962. The building is being grad-
ually converted over to commercial use, and it does not meet the parking
standards.
Mr. Jim DeMeyer appeared before the Council and stated that he felt there
was adequate parking with parking meters on one end of the building, a park-
ing lot behind the building, and parking on one end of the building. HP_,_
questioned what was being objected to.
Mr. Priebe pointed out that the problem goes back to the building permit
and that the building does not comply with the present code for the cur-_
rent use of the building. Every time remodeling is done to the building,
it changes the conformity with the code and puts a strain on parking.
It was moved by Alderman Westlund to request that the City Engineer, Ad-
ministrative Assistant, and Building Official meet with the owner of the
building to reach an agreement that can be presented to the Council at a
later meeting. Seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, the motion unanimously.
carried -
(f) CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT FOR BOYLE'S FIRST ADDITION WITH
FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION
Administrative Assistant Plotz distributed a drawing showing Boyle's First
Addition.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe recommended that the plat be
approved, subject to the parks and playground contribution schedule.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman
K. Peterson, to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 6096 entitled Reso-
lution Giving Approval of Final Plat of Boyle's First Addition, subject to
the parks and playground contribution schedule. Motion unanimously carried.
(g) CONSIDERATION OF FIRE LANE PARKING VIOLATIONS
Fire Inspector Field commented that there are frequent violations in the
fire lanes so he feels the parking fine should be increased from the pre-
sent fee of $1.00 to possibly $5.00.
Alderman K. Peterson made the motion to establish the fire lane parking
violation fee at $5.00 and to waive the first reading of Ordinance No.
4/78 and set second reading for March 14, 1978. Seconded by Alderman
Westlund, the motion passed unanimously.

(h) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST BY HUTCHINSON COMMUNITY HOSPITAL BOARD OF
DIRECTORS FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH BIDDING STATE OF INTENSIVE

$30,000 for electrical work, $5,000 for mechanical work, and $5,000 for
general construction, with some of the general carpenter work to be per-
formed by hospital maintenance staff. Mr. Graves requested that the Coun-
cil give authorization to proceed with the bidding stage of the Intensive
Care -Coronary Care Unit.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson to approve the
plans and specifications and authorize advertising for bids to be opened
on March 28, 1978 at 2:00 P.M. in City Hall. Seconded by Alderman West-
lund, the motion passed unanimously.

POINT ADDITION
The developers of Stoney Point Addition have requested that three streets
within the development be included in the City's bids for curb, gutter and
blacktop streets when they do construction in the area this year. The full
cost of the work will be paid by the developer upon completion.
City Attorney Schantzen remarked that a letter of credit will be required,
and he will prepare a contract.
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund to include the project
in Stoney Point Addition in the plans and specifications for bid letting
by the City and request a letter of credit from the developers and contract
from City Attorney. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously
carried.
(j) CONSIDERATION OF STONEY POINT -HIGH SCHOOL AREA SIDEWALK
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe pointed out on a map the area
to be included for the proposed sidewalk. The Safety Council has requested
the construction of a sidewalk from Highway 7, over the bridge, to Stoney
Point Road, and along Stoney Point Road to Roberts Road.
Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that a sidewalk
-7-
Council Minutes
February 27, 1978
along Stoney Point Road, rather than along School Road, was a better idea.
Mayor Black recommended that the location of sidewalk in this area be
designated before any construction begins. A public hearing will be
required.
Alderman K. Peterson made the motion to approve the concept of the side-
walk in the Stoney Point -High School area and include it in the plans and
specifications for School Road Project from Highway 7 to Stoney Point Road,
and on Stoney Point Road from School Road to Roberts Road, and on Roberts
Road from Stoney Point Road to the east line of Lot 1, Block 4 in Stoney
Point Addition, and on Lot 24 in said block which will be constructed sub-
sequent to a public hearing. Seconded by Alderman Westlund, the motion
unanimously carried.
(k) CONSIDERATION OF DELINQUENT WATER AND SEWER ACCOUNTS
A copy of the letter mailed to all delinquent account holders was read
by Mayor Black. He then asked if there was anyone present wishing to tb
heard regarding his/her account. No one responded.

8-0370-1-00, 8-0545-0-00, 10-0265-0-00, and 10-1145-0-00, and to discontinue
service on accounts No. 9-0765-0-00, 11-0250-0-00, and 36-0001-0-00 if_,pay-
ment is not received as promised. Seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, the
motion passed unanimously.
(1) CONSIDERATION OF PART-TIME BUS DRIVER FOR HUTCHMOBILE
Marvin Latzig would be available as a part-time driver for the Hutchmobile
during the afternoon hours until 5:00 P.M. His availability would make
possible late -day service with two buses when needed.
It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to
approve Marvin Latzig as a part-time driver for the Hutchmobile. Diction
unanimously carried.
(m) CONSIDERATION OF LOGIS LIQUOR INVENTORY CONTROL STUDY
Alderman Westlund reported on the Liquor Inventory Control Study to be con-
ducted by LOGIS. The difference in the amount between the grant and actual
costs are to be paid by the cities participating in the program, which is
not to exceed $500 payable in August or September, 1978. Liquor Store Man-
ager Neumann is interested in having this study done and the proposed method
used for the Hutchinson Municipal Liquor Store.
It was moved by Alderman Westlund to authorize the expenditure of $500 to
LOGIS for the Liquor Inventory Control Study. Seconded by Alderman K. Peter-
son, the motion unanimously carried.

(a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLERK -ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
Administrative Assistant Plotz reported on a supplemental program for the
shade tree program. Six out of 10 cities were chosen to participate in
this program, with Hutchinson being one of them. It is a 100% funded pro-
gram to prevent the spreading of Dutch Elm disease and includes pruning,
trenching, and treating with special chemicals. A resolution will be pre-
sented at the next Council meeting for establishing a Total Dutch Elm Dis-
ease Sanitation Program.
(b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM MAYOR BLACK
Mayor Black commented on the recent complaints received by the Council
regarding debris and abandoned automobiles and inquired of the City At-
torney what is being done about these situations, City Attorney Schantzen
responded that two letters have been mailed and four more are to be sent
within the next few days.
Mayor Black reported that he and Public Works Director/City Engineer Priebe
had attended the Public Hearing of the County Zoning Board on Wednesday,
February 22, 1978. He testified before the Board concerning the City of
Hutchinson's objection to the property on South Grade Road being granted a
special use permit. Since the Zoning Board was considering a time limit
on the special use permit but needed to check the legality, the hearing was
adjourned until the evening of February 23, 1978. Mayor Black also attended
this meeting, and at that time the County Zoning Board approved a special use
permit, without a time limit, with recommendation to the County Commissioners.
Mayor Black then asked if he should attend the County Commissioners meeting
to further protest the issuance of a special use permit.
City Attorney Schantzen reported that under State law, the City cannot
take over the two-mile radius zoning if the county has its own zoning or-
dinance.
(c) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ENGINEER/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe remarked that he had received a
telephone call from Mr. Irvin Burich, President of Citizens Bank, regard-
ing the service road south and east of Highway 15. His concern is the nar-
rowness of Oakland Avenue inasmuch as the bank is making application for
permission to establish a drive-in detached facility at Oakland Avenue and
Echo Drive.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that a traffic count
had been taken in that area in October, 1973, but this is a bad time of
the year to conduct a current one. The service road is presently 25 feet

wide but should be widened to 30 feet. State Highway Department officials
had informally told Mr. Priebe that it shouldn't present any difficulty to
take two and one-half feet off the highway right-of-way.
The Council authorized City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe to make
formal contact with the Highway Department Regional Office in Willmar to
obtain a firm commitment from them and to determine financing for the street.
Also, a traffic count should be taken in the Oakland Avenue area as soon as
weather permits.

The Community Land Use Game - CLUG
'Come a few hours early on Wednesday, March 29th
and participate in the nationally -known Community
Land Use Game (CLUG) which is being offered at a
special rate under the auspices of the Minnesota
State Planning Agency. The purpose of the program
is to provide individuals with additional background
information and experiences to assist them in
making tatter -informed land use decisions. CLUG is
directed toward elected and appointed officials,
staff members and other citizens involved or
interested in land use decision-making. The session
will be conducted by Joseph L. Davis of the Center
for Simulation Studies, St. Louis, MO. Because of
the subsidy from the Minnesota State Planning
Agency, the fee for the program will only be $12.00,
approximately one-third of the usual cost. The fee
covers materials and refreshments.
Cracker Barrel Problem Solving Sessions
These sessions, scheduled from 4:15 to 5:30 p.m.
on Thursday, March 30, will provide you with help in
solving planning -related problems your political
entity is facing. Conference speakers, along with
facilitators, will be available to help answer
questions and lead informal discussions on common
interests and problems. Roundtables are planned to
cover 14 topics. Refreshments and pretzels will be
provided at no charge as this portion of the program
is being subsidized by Rieke -Carroll -Muller
Associates of Mankato.
Pote From the ChCirman
The goal of this conference is to explore various
ways those involved in planning -related activities
can work with the political process and the people
to effectively manage resources. Because of the
increasing planning -related concerns of more rural
areas, a number of conference sessions are
devoted to the problems of counties, townships and
small and medium-sized cities. It has been exciting
to be involved in developing this conference
program in part because of the enthusiastic
response the program committee had from all those
who were asked to participate. We think it will be a
stimulating program; we hope you will be able to
join us. Barbara Sipson, Program Chairman

SUBJECT: Amend Ordinance
--------------------------------
I would suggest and recommend City Ordinance, Section 301:00, Permits
Required, be amended as indicated in the Agenda for the March 14, 1978,
Council Meeting.
This subject was discussed at the Department Head Meeting, February 23,
1978. There has been a substantial increase in construction cost since
the ordinance became effective in 1975, making it nearly impossible to
do any small unimportant work without obtaining a building permit under
the present ordinance.

Erickson and carried unanimously.
After discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to recommend approval

6 -5th Avenue Northeast, Hutchinson. Paul Christen seconded the motion

4. NEW BUSINESS
a) CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT FOR BOYLE`S FIRST ADDITION
City Engineer Priebe distributed site plans and explained the Plat to .
the Commission. He also referred to the recommendations he had made
previously when the preliminary plat for Boyle's First Addition
had been submitted.
Discussion followed as to the name to be used for the street. The
Commission and staff saw no problems with Mr. Boyle's suggestion
of Michael Court.
After discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to recommend approval
of the Final Plat to City Council contingent upon the proper parks
and playground contribution. Don Erickson seconded the motion and it
carried unanimously.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR REMODELING
PETERSON OIL COMPANY
Roger Dummer -He wanted to know from the Planning Commission
115 -2nd Avenue SE if a conditional use permit was needed since
the remodeling would not change the use of
the building, the tank were going to be removed
and used for parking.
Mr. Priebe stated that this building is located in the IIC-1 District
and would need a conditional -use- permit in able to remodel. However,
in this case there would be no expansion of the structure, therefore,
Marlow Priebe was suggesting requiring a conditional use permit only
when the use is being changed or expansion of the existing building is
being done.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to only require a building
permit in this case since it is an existing building and the use is not
being changed nor would there be any expansion of the structure. They
do not wish to discourage improvement with unnecessary requirements and
"red tape" procedures.
c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR SIGN VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY STEVE BARTON
Steve Barton -Stated he has lost his lease at
8 North Main 15 Washington Avenue East for his
Planning Commission
February 21, 1978
-3-
pet shop, therefore, he would like to
relocate to 4th and Franklin Street but
would need a sign variance to put up a
sign in an R-2 District. He considered
this to be a home occupation or hobby
since he does have another occupation.
No neighbors to complain, there would be
suitable off-street parking, no increase
in traffic, no additional noise because
of the pet shop and no problem with dis-
respect for the neighbors. The sign he
has proposed would be free-standing with
plants around therefore making it notice-
able but not distracting.
Mr. Priebe mentioned the residential district is rather limiting in
regards to signs, therefore, the size Steve Barton has proposed would
require a variance.
After further discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to accept the
request for the sign variance and set the public hearing for March 21,
1978. Paul Christen seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
d) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY CHUCK PEARSON
City Engineer Priebe briefly explained the request stating he wished
to expand the existing building.
After discussion, Don Erickson made the motion, seconded by Paul Christen
to set the public hearing for March 21, 1978. Motion carried unanimously.
e) REVIEW AND SET PUBLIC HEARING DATE,FOR REZONING TO AN R-3 AREA, INCLUDING
PARK TOWERS HIGHRISE
City Engineer Priebe explained that although R-2 and R-3 are pretty much
the same, Park Towers is located in the wrong zone. He pointed out on the
map the area he recommended be rezoned, and discussion followed regarding
the permitted uses in R-2 and R-3 Zones.
After discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to set the public hearing
for March 21, 1978, seconded by Paul Christen and carried unanimously.
f) REVIEW PARKLAND SCHEDULE AS SUBMITTED
City Engineer Priebe submitted a revised payment schedule for the
Parks and Playground contribution. It was basically the "A Schedule"
with a 40% increase.
Planning Commission
February 21, 1978

Mr. Priebe reviewed the history of recent request for the building located
at the aforementioned address in which the use of the building keeps
changing without satisfying the necessary parking requirements. He also
referred to letters he had written to the owner in regard to permits
and so forth. Marlow Priebe recommended to send strong recommendation
to City Council to take strong action and authorize the City Attorney
to notify the owner that he has not followed or complied with the City
Ordinance.
After further discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to recommend
City Council review Mr. Priebe's recommendation, take the proper action
and follow through with City Attorney.
h) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VACATION OF ALL UTILITY, DRAINAGE AND STREET
EASEMENTS IN STONEY POINT SECOND ADDITION
City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe explained the reason for
the request at the property known as Stoney Point Second Addition stating
that there has to be a public hearing to eliminate one of the culdesacs

Don Erickson, to set the public hearing for March 21, 1978. Motion

SUBJECT: FebruaEyFinancial-Statement- - -
In today's Council packet you will find a copy of the February financial statement
similar to the financial reports received in the past year. We are still in the
process of refining our conversion to the LOGIS system but believe the statement will
give a fair presentation of the general and water and sewer funds.
We are using a xerox machine (on trial) to achieve the reduction of --the computer print-
out sheet -(11 x-14) to the 8-1/2 x 11 size sheet. Copy quality is not the best but
should improve with experience of operation. We feel this is about -the best manner.._. --
to get the statement to you without being too cumbersome.
The financial report itself is of two parts for each fund. The revenue report, or
first part of the report, shows the receipts for the current month (February), under
year to date is shown the estimated revenue (amount budgeted for 1978). The ACTUAL
(under Year to Date) is the total received for the year (January and February - this
report); variance is the difference between estimated and actual and gives the per-
cent (%) received.
A report showing the expenditures follows the revenue report. This shows the results
by department. It reads across with the top line showing C = Current (February activity)
and the second line Y = Year to Date activity. The appropriation is the amount budgeted
and the unencumbered balance shows the amount remaining after the Year to Date expen-
ditures have been deducted and the percent (%) is of the amount used, year to date.
It should be noted we have added some additional categories to the system to help in
our budgeting for next year. While we don't have appropriation for these items, it
is expected that the main classification will have the dollars budget to cover the
sub -categories. An example would be in the City Clerk's budget with $6,000 for office
supplies; the sub -category would be duplication supplies and paper; the total expendi-
ture for the year should not exceed $6,000 for total of these line items.

PARK d RECREATION BOARD MINUTES
The Park b Recreation Board met with all members present. Also
present were Fred Roberts (Assistant Director of Public Works), Rod Keith
(Recreational Director), Ruth Dunn (Hutch Leader), and Grace Sanstead (Sec'y).
The minutes of the February meeting were read and approved by Chairman Dagget.
Westly Hendrickson and Gary Tushie from a St. Paul firm were introduced
and outlined a comprehensive, long-range plan with land and goals for city
development. (housing, parks, utilities, a municipal golf course, airport, etc.)
The City Council had contacted them two years ago to work on an overall plan
for City Development. They began a study in January and expect to work on it
through May, June, and July. Mr. Tushie, a landscape architect, said the
19-54 age group will be the largest population group served in the future.
He noted the predominance of elms in the City and would plan a restoration
program. They asked for time again at the April meeting and will try to
work out needs and goals. A motion was made by Mr. Haugen to table the matter.
It was seconded by Mr. Falconer and passed unanimously.
Mr. Priebe (Director of Public Works), who had sat in with these gentlemen
before, came in while they were speaking. He recommended the plan be submitted
to the Park Board --then be presented to the City Council. Mr. Priebe reported
to the Park Board that at his meeting with the Planning Commission on February 14
it had been decided the contribution schedule be updated, as it has remained the
same for the past four years. Land values have increased to $4,000 per acre.
He proposed a 40 percent increase. Land is now in the 8,000 to 12,000 square
foot range and instead of paying $66 to the Park fund, it would be increased
to $92.40. On presenting it to the City Council, several members thought it
too high and recommended it be raised gradually, yearly. It was again referred
to Mr. Priebe for study and the matter was tabled by Mr. Daggett.
On the departure of the gentlemen, Mr. Roberts gave his report. The
hockey rinks are closed for this year and the pleasure rinks are closed as
of today. Mr. Keith and Mr. Roberts will attend a seminar at the Marietta Inn
on the following day. Some of the walks have not been cleaned and 64 notices
have been sent out --cleaning snow off walks being a City Ordinance. Most of
the people responded positively and cleaned their walks of snow.

A discussion ensued on the lights at Tartan Park. The light plant manager
told Mr. Roberts that adjustments would cost about $5,000. Mr. Daggett informed
the Board he would see what he could do about the lighting at Tartan Park.
Mr. Keith gave his report on the recreation programs. Hutchinson will
host the Minnesota State Class "B" men's Broomball Tournament on March 17, 18,
and 19 at the Civic Arena. The summer youth program will start on June 12 and
run through August 4. The adult softball program is scheduled to start May 2.
A more complete listing will be made at the April meeting.
Mr. Daggett went to the City Council with the resolution to honor Les
Kouba with the result that there will be ceremonies this summer honoring him.
Roads will be fixed and the road past Gopher Campfire will be moved and
Aw
poles placed alongside the fence.
Fred was asked by Chairman Daggett to find out the price of a 12" x 18"
plaque.
A soccor field along the north edge of West River Park east and west, will
be discussed at the next meeting.
Mr. Daggett formed a sub -committee to iron out the Senior Citizens,
problems. Fred reported an approximate $1,200 would be needed to remodel
the Armory.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8;30 p.m.
Dr. Chernausek made the motion, seconded by Mr. Haugen and passed unanimously.

DATE: March 6, 1978
T0: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Personnel Coordinator
SUBJECT: City Personnel Policy
Our City Personnel Policy was last revised and reprinted in May, 1976.
Only a few copies of the handbook still remain for distribution to
new employees.
Since there have been some amendments to certain sections of the
Personnel Policy since the last printing, it is recommended that
a new handbook be printed, incorporating these changes and clarifying
some of the language of the policy.
One change is also recommended for your consideration, as follows:
Section 11: Sick Leave (pg. 5) Added the sentence: "Up to five
days may be allowed, if necessary, in the case of death in the
immediate family." (Present policy does not specify the number
of days that may be allowed for a death in the family.)
Re -wording as follows:
Section 10: Vacation Leave. Last paragraph in this section
was inadvertently omitted from the handbook now in use, but has
been a part of past policy.
Section 8: Overtime Pay. Changed overtime to "48 hours in one
week or 80 hours in a two week pay period" agreeable with present
state law.
Other minor changes in language are intended to make the meaning of
the personnel policy more clearly understood.

SUBJECT: Mid -West Trailer Park
Several years ago, the City adopted an Ordinance regulating Mobile Home
Parks which was incorporated in the present Zoning Ordinances.
The above -referenced Park was in existence when the Ordinance was
adopted. It does not have a Conditional Use Permit as required, nor
does it meet the lot size or set back for each unit. It has, however,
been sold twice since the original adoption of the Park Ordinance
This park has been a concern of the Fire Department for years and Mr.
Field, the Fire Marshall, is also concerned from a safety standpoint, due
to the following:
1. Poor accessability into the park.
2. The lack of open space between units.
Bud, George and I have discussed this problem and feel that it may be the
proper time for the City to require a Conditional Use Permit with some
detailed plans and schedules by the owner to place the park in a more
conforming condition, inasmuchas, the City has to begin shortly in issuing
permits for new units placed in the park, as required by the State.

Re: City Zoning Ordinances
Dear Gary:

PHONES 896.1975
AREA CODE 612
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
I believe at the last Council meeting a question
came up whether the City Zoning Ordinances could be extended
to govern the area lying within two miles outside the city
limits.
M.S.A. 462.357, copy enclosed, provides that a
municipality zoning ordinance cannot be extended to the two
mile area outside its city limits, except if the County or
Township effectively has adopted its own zoning ordinance.
It would be my opinion since McLeod County as adopted a
zoning ordinance that that ordinance would govern all areas
outside of our city limits.
It might also be noted that the Minnesota Statutes
applying to zoning ordinances is different than the statute
governing platting and subdividing by municipalities. The
Platting and Subdivision statute provides that a municipality
may entend its Subdivision and Platting ordinance to govern
the two mile area lying outside its city limits, if the town
has not adopted its own Subdivision and Platting regulation.
The city's authority in the two mile limit for subdividing
and platting will supercede the County's authority in this
matter, even though the County has adopted its own subdivision
and platting regulations (M.S.A. 462.357).
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to let me
know. Could you please pass on this letter together with the
copy attached to D.J. Black and Marlow Priebe for their attention.
Yours very truly,
KEEFE, SCHANTZEN & BRADFORD

DISCUSSION
1. The overall planning program for Hutchinson was reviewed in general
with emphasis on the Park and Open Space study which is one element of
the overall program. It was noted that the basic objective of the
study is to provide a basis for public decision making with respect to
land and locational requirements for future city parks. It was also
noted that the primary purpose of the study is to develop a long range
Park and Open Space System Plan.
2. The consultant reviewed the work scope and mentioned that the
success of the study depended on the involvement of the City Staff
and the Park and Recreation Board working closely with a consultant in
the planning process. (The work scope is attached herewith.)
3. The importance of identifying needs and establishing goals for future
park development were discussed. The purpose of the next meeting will be
to identify needs and establish goals.
4. The consultant reviewed the progress of the study to date which consisted
primarily of background research, particularly an inventory of
existing parks and open space, population, land use and environmental
considerations. It was noted that some of the information concerning
existing park and open space areas may be incorrect and needs
to be revised.
5. Marlow Priebe presented a proposed revised schedule of fees for park
land dedication. This is of great importance to the development of a park
and open space system.
6. As mentioned, the Consultant will attend the next board meeting to
