TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1984 I 1. CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Larry Romo at 7:30 pm., with the following members present: Marlin Torgerson, Roland Ebent, Thomas Lyke, Shu -Mei Hwang, Don Erickson and Chairman Romo. Members absent: Elsa Young. Also present: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz, Director of Engineering Marlow V. Priebe, and City Attorney James H. Schaefer. 2. MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting dated October 16, 1984, were approved as presented on a motion by Mr. Torgerson. Seconded by Mr. Ebent, the motion carried unanimously. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS (a) CONTINUATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST AS SUBMITTED BY ROBERT MCGEE Chairman Romo reconvened the continued hearing with the reading of publication 03322 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on . ? Thursday, October 4, 1984. The request is for a 3' variance to allow the construction of a double garage 3' from the sideyard property line. A survey showing the present and proposed buildings on the property was submitted to the Planning Commission as had been requested. The drawings showed that the garage was proposed to be 212" from the west property line which would require a 3110" variance. Mr. Robert McGee was present to state that he intends to build a house onto the basement that is now located on the property and needs an attached double garage. He keeps a motorhome and boat in the garage that is to the rear of the property. Mr. McGee also stated that he has already paid for curb and spillway in the front for the purpose of putting in a driveway. City Administrator Plotz explained that a frontyard variance would not be necessary as the house was inconformance with others in the neighborhood. He also noted that there was 29' from the duplex on the west of the property, providing ample room for the proposed garage. As the whole project (adding the house and garage) would improve the aesthetics of the property, staff recommended the variance be approved. Mr. Torgerson noted that putting a garage on the other side in line with the existing garage would also require • a variance. 1 After discloion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 7:38 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval • of the variance as requested. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR REZONING AS SUBMITTED BY KABLE, BUECHELE AND BACON Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 7 :39 pm. with the reading of Publication #3334 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is to rezone lots 1 and 2 Block 31, South 112 City from R -2 (Multiple Family Residence District) to C -3 (Central Commercial District). Mr. and Mrs. Tom McClure of 325 Glen Street South were present to state their objection to the request. As neighboring property owners (to the west), they were concerned about the whole block eventually becoming commercial. They felt that since no part of this block was commerical, it should remain residential. They also presented a letter of objection to the rezoning from Mabel Kreft, 345 S. Glen. Ms. Linda Ziemer, .315 Glen Street was also present to state her objection. She was concerned about increase in traffic in the alley. She felt having a residential area near downtown might better serve the needs of the elderly. Director Priebe explained that the comprehenisve plan indicated that commercial zoning would be extended from Main Street to Glen Street and from the river to Fourth Avenue, so the proposal is in accordance with the comprehensive plan. Chairman Romo further explained that the trend in use of that property would be toward commerical. Mr. Roger Kable was present to explain that the property owners intend to tear down the existing houses within the next five years and then restore it. There are no specific plans for development. Director Priebe explained that when something is rezoned, it should be done so with the feeling that anything provided for in that zoning be acceptable to the area. It would not be good practice to zone for a specific project as there would be no guarantee that that project be done. Mr. Ron Horswel1, Rt. 3, (owns adjoining property at 326 Franklin) was present to state that if the rezoning was allowed, they should be equally able to rezone the adjoining lots so that the whole east half of the block would be C -3. They have paid for commerical type street and would also like to be rezoned. In regard to property values, it was the consensus of those present that surrounding property values would go up for commercial use, however, values might go down as residential use. Dr. Lyke commented . that the property owners might find themselves in a position where they would have to sell and might not have a commercial buyer. He 2 also exproed concern about what the inteded character of that neighborhood is to be. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. . Seconded by Mr. Ebent, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8:15 p.m. Mr. Ebent made a motion to recommend to City Council the rezoning of the two lots as requested from R -2 to C -3. The motion was seconded by Mr. Torgerson. A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with Mr. Torgerson, Mr. Ebent and Chairman Romo voting "aye ", Mr. Hwang and Dr. Lyke voting "nay ". Mr. Erickson abstained from voting. (c) CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR A SIGN VARIANCE AS SUBMITTED BY MIDCONTINENT THEATRE Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 8:17 p.m. with the reading of publication 93335 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thurs- day, November 8, 1984. The request is for a variance to allow the addition of two 3' by 14' by 12" deep lighted panels to the existing marquee on the State Theatre Building, for the purpose of providing a third reader board for the third theatre. Mr. Russ DeCurtins, representing MidContinent Theatre, was present to explain the request. He submitted an ar'tist's drawing of what the sign will look like when it is complete. Staff recommendation was favorable with the stipulation that the three reader boards be uniform in appearance. Mr. DeCurtins stated that his company would be willing to comply with the wishes of the City in that regard, ie, taking out the light bulbs, repainting around the middle sign, etc. Mr. Hwang asked if they had considered replacing the signs altogether with signs that are against the building, and if Mr. DeCurtains knew if the existing marquee would support the weight of the two additional panels. Mr. DeCurtains responded that the construction of the marquee is steel with wood skins and felt that it would be able to support it. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8 :40 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the variance as requested contingent upon 8' clearance being met and that all three signs on both sides be uniform in appearance -- uniformity to be determined by City staff. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. (d) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY HUTCHINSON MANUFACTURING Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 8:40 P.M. with the reading of . publication 93336 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is for a conditional use 3 permit to allow the construction of a 26' by 60' addition (metal storage building) on the southwest corner of the main building of Hutchinson Manufacturing located on Hwy. 7 West in an IC -1 zone. City Administrator Plotz explained that there had been no objection • to the request. Staff had recommended that a 40' easement be obtained for a planned service road parallel to Hwy. 7 for sometime in the future. Mr. Tom Daggett of Hutchinson Manufacturing had expressed to Mr. Plotz that he was opposed to the request for an easement. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that as the request was a reasonable one for that zone the conditional use permit should be granted without being contingent upon the easement. It was noted by Director Priebe, however, that the intent of the City to acquire such an easement should be recorded with the conditional use so that it is a matter of record. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 8 :45 p.m. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as requested without the easement contingency, but that the intent of the City to obtain the 401 easement for service road purposes be recorded. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. (e) CONSIDERATION OF CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY WILBERT SCHLUETER (SCHLUETER REFRIGERATION) Chairman Romo opened the public hearing at 8:46 p.m. with the reading of publication #3337 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 12' by 40' leanto on the northside of their building located on Hwy 7 west in an IC -1 zone. There was no one present who objected to the request. Staff had recommended that the City obtain a 40' easement parallel to Hwy 7 for a planned service road. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that the request was a reasonable one and should not be contingent upon acquiring the easement. It was recommended, however, that the City's intent to acquire the 40' easement for service road purposes be recorded. A concern about a leanto becoming an eyesore was brought up. It was determined that the leanto would have to meet building code specifications. Mr. Erickson made a motion to close the hearing at 8:50 pm. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as requested without the easement contingency, but that the intent of the City to acquire the 40, . easement for a planned service road be recorded. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. 4 0 0 J (f) CONSIDERATION OF REZONING AS REQUESTED BY ROBERT HORNICK Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 8:53 p.m. with the reading of publication 63338 as published in the Hutchinson *Leader' on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is for the rezoning of the properties located at 29 4th Ave. N.W., 35 4th Ave. N.W., and 402 North Main Street from R -2 (Multiple Family Residence District) to C -2 (Automotive Services District). Director Priebe was present to state that the Comprehensive Plan does show extension of the commerical zone at least as far west as the lots requested, but not necessarily as far north. Mr. Robert Hornick, 6020 Stoneybrook Court, Minnetonka, was present to explain the request. He stated that he intends to expand and remodel the present gas and grocery store that is located on the corner of Hwy. 7 West and 15 North. Due to the expansion, he would need more property for parking purposes. Contingent upon the rezoning, he will purchase the Hoeft property (29 Fourth Ave. West). They then intend to move their house to another property (for which they have already received a conditional use permit.) Mr. Wayne Kasich, 45 4th Ave. N.W., neighboring property owner was present to state his objection to the request. He stated that "Bob has not been a good neighbor," as the basis for his objection. He went on to site incidences of violation of the weed ordinance (not keeping the property mowed), location of and use of the dumpster for dead minnows (odor and litter), privacy fence was not painted until it was finally painted by neighboring property owner (Hoeft), sidewalk not being shoveled and an old bulk truck sitting behind the gas Hutch attracting neighborhood children (safety). Mr. Kasich also stated that he thought IC -1 would be better zoning for the area. He then submitted documentation of his complaints to the Planning Commission. Mr. Daniel Wink of 35 4th Ave. N.W., owner of property included in the request presented a petition signed by notified property owners stating their objection to the rezoning. Mr. Wink stated that he had no objection to the rezoning if the property were taken care of. He agreed with Mr. Kasich's explanation of maintenance of the area. Mr. Ron McGraw, representing property owner Helen Zeleny, stated Mrs. Zeleny's objection to the request, noting that it would change the character of their residential neighborhood. He also pointed out that the Comprehensive plan does not include the north half of the Zeleny property as commercial. Ms. Diane Ekstrom, 480 Main Street North, stated she would like the area to remain residential. Mr. Elton Lueck, 94 5th Ave. N. W., stated he would like to keep the area residential. • Mr. Hornick responded to Mr. Kasich's complaints, stating that how he was working to remedy each of the problems sited. He presented pictures to the Planning Commission showing how he might use these ideas from other stations to solve the problems, as well as a 1 possible siteplan for the proposed expanAn and remodeling. Mr. Erickson stated that the City would have much more control (ability to provide assurances for compliance with wishes of the neighborhood) with IC -1 zoning. Mr. Hornick responded that he preferred to Zone C -2 and comply with requirements of that zone. Director Priebe pointed out that there are specific requirements for service stations in C -2 zoning. Mr. McGraw asked if the granting the request might be spot zoning as the character of the area is residential. Chairman Romo stated that it was not spot zoning as it adjoined C -2 and he noted that he thought the trend for use of that property would definitely be commerical (ie, After Hoeft`s move their house, the property would no longer be rebuilt upon as residential). After further discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 9:40 pm. Mr. Erickson made a motion to deny the request. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. (g) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE 464, SECTION 9 Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 9:52 p.m. with the reading of publication #3340 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is for an amendment to include the following in Zoning Ordinance 0464, Section Nine (9), TABULATION OF DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR ZONING DISTRICTS, to read as follows: 4. No accessory building shall be erected or located within any yard other than the rear or side yard; nor shall it occupy more than 25% of a required rear yard and in no case within a "R -1" district shall it exceed 1,000 square feet in area. Accessory buidings shall not exceed fifteen feet in height, shall be six feet or more from all lot lines of adjoining lots and shall be six feet or more from any other building or structure on the same lot. During discussion it was determined that any R -1 requirements for accessory buildings also applied to R -2. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 10 :00 pm. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the amendment as requested. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. (h) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE 0464, SECTION 8.01.1 Chairman Romo opened the hearing at 10 :00 p.m. with the reading of publication #3341 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, November 8, 1984. The request is for an amendment to Zoning Ordinance 464, Section 8.01.1 entitled RULES FOR STRUCTURES . IN DISTRICTS, to read as follows: All stPuetuFSe putted is the 6 -4 1 -47 and 1:5 -1 and p8B dpsta #eta E f • shall be senstpuetsd in aeeePdaRee with the Bni-€epm B"Idicaa Cede as adapted by the State e€ MIRReseta and the City e€ Hutehlason, l No residential structure in any district shall have a width of less . than twenty -four (24) feet at its narrowest point. Width measurement shall not take into account overhang or other projections. Such width measurement shall be in addition to the minimum area per dwelling requirements of this ordinance. During discussion, it was determined that the amendment should also include a stipulation stating structures be placed on a foundation. As this would require that the amendment be republished, Mr. Erickson made a motion that the hearing be continued until the next regular meeting. Seconded by Mr. Hwang, the motion carried unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS None. 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) CONSIDERATION OF SKETCH PLAN SUBMITTED TO COUNTY BY HERB FILK (within two mile radius) The County referred the sketch plan submitted to them by Herb Filk to the City of Hutchinson for a recommendation as the property lies within the two mile radius of the City. It was the recommendation . ) of staff that the sketch plan be approved subject to a subdivision agreement between the City and the subdivider to provide for an understanding of how assessments would be paid for if and when the subdivision were ever annexed into the City of Hutchinson. Mr. Frank Fay was present to answer any questions about the request. He read a letter from the Hassan Valley Town Board to the Hutchinson Planning Commission stating their consideration and approval of the request. Mr. Fay also stated it would be difficult to negotiate such an agreement so far in the future. After discussion, Mr. Erickson made a motion to recommend approval of the sketch plan as submitted subject to the subdivison agreement being negotiated by the City staff to protect the interests of the City in the event the subdivision was ever annexed. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF SKETCH PLAN SUBMITTED TO THE COUNTY BY GEORGE HERBERT The County referred the sketch plan submitted to them by George Herbert to the City of Hutchinson for a recommendation as the property lies within the two mile radius of the City. It was the recommendation of staff that the sketch plan be approved subject to a subdivision agreement between the City and the subdivider to provide for an understanding of how assessments would be paid for if and when the subdivision were ever annexed into the City of Hutchinson. h As there had been nothing received from the Township regarding this request, Mr. Hwang made a motion to table this item until we hear from the township. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously. 6. 11DJOIIRNMENT Mr. Torgerson made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

It should be noted that several organizations have not reapplied for licenses. This is probably a result of anticipated changes in the law this coming session. The information I have is that the State will take over gambling and bingo licensing. This may be true but, until the time it happens, the City should continue to require licenses. I intend to require those groups that haven't reapplied to cease any gambling or bingo im ediately upon expiration of their licenses. You may wish to consider rebates to current license holders should the State require a license from them souetiine during the caning year. Mayor Bob Stearns 375 1st Avenue N.W.

O'Borsky, Chief of Police SUBJECT Parking Near Fitness Center I have looked at the area near the Fitness Center and talked to the proprietor. It appears that there is a potential hazard by allowing vehicles to park on the street at that location. Cars exiting and entering from both the Pizza Hut and the Fitness Center pose a visibility problem. I therefore propose that parking be prohibited on the north side of South Grade Road from Lynn Road to a point approximately 50 feet west of the westernmost driveway of the Fitness Center.- I do not believe that it is necessary to restrict parking on the south side of Lynn Road at this time.

O'Borsky Chief of Police =414Z SUBJECT Use of Hutchmobile New Year's Eve The Police Department operated the Hutchmobile for two years on New Years Eve. Our intent of course was to provide safe transportation to and from parties and bars for persons who may have been drinking. We did not want to encourage people to overindulge but to make the evening safer for everyone. The first year we had less than a dozen people use the service. We attributed this to lack of advertising and wariness of the police by the users. We tried it again the next year and had fewer people use it than before. We do not know why people are not interested in public transportation for this occasion. I decided to drop the program for the following reasons. 1) Lack of public participation did not balance out the expense to the City. 2) The possible liability to the City did not justify the risk. To me the concept is valid, however in my opinion it should be carried out by a non - public entity. For instance if a group such as the Jaycees, AA, Lions or any other public spirited organization were to do what we did it might be more successful. In addition the use of private vehicles would preclude City liability and allow drivers to go outside of the city limits, which we did not do.

The following changes in the weed and sidewalk snow removal ordinance are being proposed to hopefully simplify and expidite the procedure. The changes are only in procedure and not in the definition of either the "weeds" or snow which would be in violation. Currently the ordinance states that owners or occupants of • lots in violation must be notified by registered mail. This creates a number of problems which are mainly centered around either a delay in receiving the letter or refusal to pick up the letter at all. The following procedure would eliminate these problems: 1) A notice would be published in the paper prior to each weed inspection stating the ordinance and the date the inspection would be made. The sidewalk snow removal ordinance would be published twice during the winter season. 2) A "courtesy" letter would then be sent out to those individuals in violation of the ordinance. This letter would be sent by regular mail and state: a) which issue the notice appeared in b) the date the violation was cited c) the date the removal is scheduled Hopefully, letting the people know when the inspection will be made and the date the lot is scheduled to be mowed will encourage everyone to avoid these additional charges and get their lots taken care of prior to these dates. q —, 0 0 Subject MESSAGE 0 red Letterer From � vrOg ��- �4� -��35 WilsonJones G RAY L It, E FCF V 44 902 iFAF+ .•9.3.P' NTLOIN USA 4O '-'164 Date Signed RECIPIENT — RETAIN WHITE COPY.

HISTORY On December 3, 1984, Mr. Ford Rolfe submitted a request for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 301 by 801 business /storage building on property located at 325 Third Ave. N.W. A public hearing was held at the regular meeting of the Planning Commis- sion on December 18, 1984, at which time there was no one present who stated their objection to the request. FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The required application was submitted and the appropriate fee paid. 2. Notices were mailed to the surrounding property owners as well as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, December 6, 1984. 3. The proposal is in conformance with the requirements of a conditional use permit, and is necessary because the property is located in an IC -1 zone. RECOMMENDATION It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the afore- mentioned request for a conditional use permit be granted, contingent upon proposal providing 14 parking spaces and that the parking area be surfaced as per City requirements by August 1, 1986. 0 Respectfully submitted, Larry Romo, Chairman Hutchinson Planning Commisson Q �/ • RESOLUTION NO. 7945 • RESOLUTION GRANTING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT UNDER SECTION 6.07 OF ZONING ORDINANCE NO. 464 TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF A 301 BY 80' BUSINESS /STORAGE BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 325 THIRD AVE. N.W., WHICH IS IN AN IC -1 ZONE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA: FINDINGS 1. Mr. Ford Rolfe of Hutchinson has made application to the City Council for a Conditional Use Permit under Section 8.12 of Zoning Ordinance No. 464 to allow the construction of a 301 by 80, Business /Storage building on the property located at 325 Third Avenue N.W., with the following legal description: Lot 9, Block 24, North 112 City of Hutchinson 2. The City Council has considered the recommendation of the Planning Commission 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 detri- mental 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 gener- al 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 contingent upon the proposal providing 14 parking spaces and that the parking area be surfaced as per City requirements by August 1, 1986. Adopted by the City Council this 20th day of December, 1984. Attest: Gary D. Plotz City Clerk Robert H.

After 14 months of operating the SUPERSTATION with a single and behind the building entrance, we find it is simply not working. We need some help. The existing entrance is a physically "inconvenient" access to the customer, causing extremely low gasoline sales. Even lower gasoline prices or discounts, can not make the difference to drivers who are used to driving in and out of filling stations throughout the community with ease. The hardship is overwhelming for a small business, in view of the large capital outlay for the filling station (underground tanks, special cement work, dispensers, special wiring and additional special register) totaling approximately $100,000 in borrowed monies. The only recourse we have is to obtain your approval to amend the subdivision agreement to allow for the accesses. After studing the situation it is crucial that both the access on HWY 15 and Century Avenue, as shown in the attached site -plan be approved. Only one new access either from HWY 15 or Century Avenue will not substantially improve the situation,as cars will more often still have to drive around the building. A traffic flow direction with an 110 shaped pattern is typical with several other stations in the community. Without being in the same competitive situation as other filling stations, I sincerely feel the economics of the entire project, including the donut shop, will drag down this otherwise successful addition to the community to submission. Your attention and consideration of this request is appreciated. Thank you. Sincerely, go M •" i� ` 1 .r a Y.T•iEhCw Lint: �_. 'ice' � ..

CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Larry Homo at 7:30 p.m., with the following members present: Marlin Torgerson, Elsa Young, Don Erickson, Shu- Mei Hwang, Thomas Lyke and Chairman Homo. Members absent: Roland Ebent. Also present: City Administrator Gary D. Plotz and Director of Engineering Marlow V. Priebe. 2. MINUTES The minutes of the regular meeting dated November 20, 1984, were approved as presented on a motion by Mr. Torgerson. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. 3. PUBLIC HEARINGS (a) CONTINUATION OF CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO ZONING ORDINANCE #464, SECTION 8.01.1 Chairman Homo reconvened the continued hearing with the reading of publication #3349 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, December 6, 1984. The request is for an amendment to Zoning Ordinance #464, 8.01.1, entitled, Rules for Structures in Districts. The hearing was opened at the October 16th meeting, at which time it was determined that additional changes were necessary. City Administrator Plotz explained that staff had reviewed the amendment and revised it as published on December 6. Administrator Plotz noted that City Attorney Schaefer had reviewed the changes. After discussion, Mr. Erickson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Torgerson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 7:35 pm. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the amendment as presented. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AS SUBMITTED BY FORD ROLFE Chairman Homo opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. with the reading of publication #3351 as published in the Hutchinson Leader on Thursday, December 6, 1984. The request is for a conditional use permit to allow the construction of a 30' by 80' business /storage building on the property located at 325 Third Ave. N.W., which is located in and IC -1. Chairman Homo noted staff recommendation for 14 parking spaces and surfacing Planning Commission Minutes . 12/18/84 to be done by October, 1985. Mr. Rolfe was present to explain the request. He presented a photograph of a building similar to the one he intended to build. He stated that at the present time he did not know exactly what he would have in the building but that it could be a business, part business and part storage or all storage. City Administrator Plotz explained that the City would have to require the number of parking spaces that would be required for a business. If it were later determined that the building would be used for something other than a business (i.e., storage) that number could be revised. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that Mr. Rolfe should show the proposed parking on the survey when the request went before the Council. Mr. Rolfe further stated that he would like to extend staff's recommendation for surfacing from October 1, 1985 to 1986 for financial reasons. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to close the hearing. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously and the hearing was closed at 7:52 pm. Mr. Torger- son made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the conditional use permit as requested contingent upon the plan providing for 14 parking spaces and that the parking lot be surfaced as per City requirements by August 1, 1986. Seconded by Mr. Erickson, the motion carried unanimously. 4. OLD BUSINESS i (a) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE #466 SECTION 4.25 (City Attorney Schaefer) As City Attorney Schaefer was not present, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to table this item. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried unanimously. (b) CONSIDERATION OF SKETCH PLAN AS SUBMITTED BY GEORGE HERBERT TO THE COUNTY Director of Engineering Priebe explained that as the township had recommended the request be rejected, the Planning Commission would not have to make a recommendation. 5. NEW BUSINESS (a) PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING /DRS. LYKE AND GILLARD (Dr. Lyke asked to relinquish his seat on the Planning Commission for the presentation and discussion of this item.) i PA i PLANNING COMMISSIC&INUTES • 12/18/84 Dr. Thomas Lyke and Dr. John Gillard were present to explain their proposal to build a dental office building (with some rental space), on property located in an R -3 zone, for which a conditional use permit is required. A site plan was presented as well as an artist's rendering of the proposed building. Dr. Lyke explained that for the use they planned, 29 parking spaces would be required and were provided for on the site plan. Adjoining property is zoned R -3; property across the street is zoned commerical. There was discussion about water runoff from the parking area. Director Priebe recommends onsite inlets to handle the drainage. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that there were no major problems with the project as presented and recommended that they proceed with application for a conditional use permit. (b) CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVISION AGREEMENT AS REQUESTED BY JOAN AND GARY PLOTZ (MISTER DONUT /SUPERSTATION) Attorney Ron McGraw was present representing Mr. and Mrs. Plotz in regard to their request to amend the subdivision agreement that involves their property on Century Ave. to allow for two new accesses - -one from Century Avenue and the other from Hwy 15. Mr. McGraw sited the Tom Thumb Station /Store in particular as well as other stations in Hutchinson that have similar entrance /exit layouts for their businesses. Mr. Erickson agreed that the entrance situation for the SuperStation is very inconvenient. He asked if there had been any other requests for access to Hwy 15 in the past. It was determined that there hadn't been; however, it was noted that if this were granted the Commission should be aware of the possiblity of further requests. Mr. Plotz was present to state that he had pursued the possibility of a service road with the State Highway Depart- ment. It was their feeling that it was not possible at this time. Mr. Plotz went on to explain the financial burden of the lot due to special assessments and sewer and water that had to be put in. It was his feeling that the natural flow of traffic would be from north to south as indicated by the arrows on the drawing. During discussion, concern about safety, turn lanes and the speed limit in the area were addressed. It was pointed out that the State Highway Department would review the application and would take those items into consideration as well as any 3 PLANNING COMMISSN MINUTES • 12/18/84 plans that they may have for the highway in the future. Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend to City Council approval of the amendment as requested. Seconded by Mrs. Young, the motion carried with Mr. Torgerson, Mrs. Young, Mr. Hwang, Dr. Lyke and Chairman Romo voting aye and Mr. Erickson voting nay. (c) CONSIDERATION OF SITE PLAN REQUIREMENT FOR REZONINGS AND OTHER RELATED SITUATIONS Mr. Torgerson explained that the City Council felt there had been enough disapproval from the neighborhood to reject the request for rezoning (referring to Bable Buschele request on Franklin Street). He added that the City Council would like to require a site plan before rezoning that parcel to C -3. With a definite site plan for the proposed rezoning, he felt there would be much less objection from the neighborhood. City Administrator Plotz explained that there were other cities (Eden Prairie and Minnetonka) requiring site plans with rezoning requests. He commented that those who are using it feel it is working very well to improve relationships between Council and Planning Commission and is working to make the changes more "palatable" for neighbors. Chairman Homo expressed concern about "everything becoming an IC -1 zone," and the limitations to the property owner, especially if a proposed project were to fall through. He felt City government would have a lot to say about development. There was discussion about what would happen if the property use were to change at a later date to something acceptable in that zone, but unacceptable to the neighbors. Concerns about the practicality of having a site plan required for a project that may take many years to develop, or quite a large piece of property were expressed. A question about if this were "con- tract zoning" and how it would hold up under litigation was raised. It was noted that one of the jobs of the Planning Commission was to make decisions regarding this, based on the comprehensive plan. A question was expressed regarding the time and expense of creating a comprehensive plan and then disregarding it. Dr. Lyke commented that requiring a site plan would provide a more "orderly transition" for a neighborhood going from residential to commercial. After discussion, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to recommend approving further study on the idea of a site plan requirement. Seconded by Dr. Lyke, the motion carried unanimously. n L J 4 0 PLANNING COMMISSIWINUTES • 12/18/84 (d) PRESENTATION BY UTILITIES COMMISSION, TELEPHONE COMPANY AND CROW RIVER CABLE T.V. REGARDING BUILDING PERMITS, COMMUNICATIONS AND CHANGES TO PLATS Representatives of the Utitities Commission, Telephone Company and Crow River Cable T.V. were present to express their concern about the lack of information they are receiving regarding new development and building in the City of Hutchinson. Mr. Rufus Alexander, general manager of the Hutchinson Utilities Commission explained that they are making plans to put more and more underground. They feel they are running out of room, and need to be given more room for going underground as well as places to put transformers on the properties. Another problem occurs when there are changes made in a plat. They plan for certain size service. Often it goes in for single family as proposed and needs to be dug up and changed when a plat changes or a use changes. The expense of such a change is great and is paid by utility customers. Mr. Butch Wentworth (Utitlities Commission) and Mr. Lloyd Schlueter (Telphone Company) were present to state similar types of concerns. Other items discussed included: forms supplied by each of the affected utilities to be supplied to building permit applicants, house numbers being given when a development is platted, lots being marked by house numbers, establishing lot lines and sticking to them, utilities communicating conerns at time of hearings on plats, rezonings, etc. City Administrator Plotz added that the Community Development office has prepared a "developers' guide" which lists the process and permits required for new construction. It was recommended that this guide go out to all who apply for a building permit. 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Mr. Torgerson made a motion to adjourn the meeting.

Hutchinson, MN 55350 RE: T.H. 7/22 and School Road Dear Marlow: 0 FOR YOUR INFORMATION In checking on the status of the proposed project for T.H. 7/22 and School Road, I find that this is proceeding. A number of preliminary studies have been completed but additional studies remain. These could not be done this fall because the detour west of town affected the traffic flow in town. An aerial mosaic has been received and we will be proceeding with developing a layout for a project. Traffic counts were taken during the summer and remain to be studied. A turning movement count will be taken next spring to determine if a signal is justified. We are waiting on the turning movement count because we cannot adjust the volumes for seasonal variations and the winter months normally have Tower volumes than spring months. Once these studies are done, work will begin on developing a proposal. We will keep you informed of the progress. Sincerely, K. A. Madole District Engineer ADKM760 An Equal Opportunity Employer I E 1 ' � 1 E PRATE DECEMBER 11, 1984 CITY OF HUTCHINSON ISSUE NO. 5 ALTERNATIVES FOR HEALTH INSURANCE - INVOLVING ALL FOUR CITY ENTITIES At the request of the Nursing Home Board and Hospital Board, our insurance consultant, Dwight Tange, has summarized the pros and cons of combining the health insurance of the four entities. See attached letter of December 4. The bottom line is to decide if we want to further investigate: (1) combining the four entities into one group, and (2) check the feasibility of a self- funded approach. This activity is beyond the scope of our annual contract with Dwight. Supplementary services are at $60 per hour, plus mileage (plus mileage at 50C /mile including his personal driv- ing time). "AGENCY AGREEMENT" TO APPRAISE AIRPORT PROPERTY On Wednesday, December 5, I met with Cliff Boelter, Willmar office of DOT, for appraisal of airport property. Mr. Boelter and staff appraised the new Litchfield airport, plus negotiated with property owners for fee or easement interests. In summary, it has gone very smoothly for Litchfield, and I would suggest we consider the same methods. For the December 20 Council meeting I will be putting the appraisal and negotiation service contract on the agenda. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBCOMMITTEE ON DOWNTOWN STREETSCAPE At our December 6 meeting the committee discussed the desire to review "site reviews" of rezoning, variances, conditional use permits, and building permits in an advisory capacity only! The committee would be willing to meet the first working day of every month and forward recommendations to the Planning Commission. Presently the committee sees a hodge -podge approach to fixing store fronts, rear entrances, and possibly layout of parking. The monies the City spent with the University students to develop a coordinated appearance in downtown have been disregarded in several instances. This group would like to help. 0 1E LIMITS ON PARKING There has been no recommendation from the Downtown Retail Association on overall policy for time limits for (1) Main Street parking, (2) side street parking, (3) off- street park- ing lots, and (4) parking lots west of Franklin. Since each business seems to have a dif- ferent idea and interest, the Association would like to provide the City Council with a "unified -as- possible" recommendation.

O. Box 39 Farmington, Minnesota 55024 Telephone (612) 460 -6556 XO4 M� DEC VY / U RECEIVED From: Dwight A. Tange,.CIC N: BY DreA. Tange Company rS2b�E2ZZt2�2� Subject: Informational Memorandum regarding pros and cons of (1) combining the Hospital, Nursing Home, Municipal Utility and City Employees into one group for Group Health Benefits and (2) the feasibility of utilizing a self- funded approach as an alternative to Health Insurance. On October 24, 1984, I attended the board meeting of Hutchinson Community Hospital and presented, in response to their request, a memorandum containing several recommendations. One of the subjects addressed therein was an overview of the feasibility, including the advantages and disadvantages, of employing a self - funded approach to providing Group Health benefits for the Hospital employees as an alternative to the current Blue Cross -Blue Shield, Insured Group Health Insurance Plan. I subsequently, on October 25, 1984, attended the Burns Manor Municipal Nursing Home board meeting at which time a lengthly discussion took place regarding the possibility of initiating a new Group Health Insurance program for the employees of Burns Manor. Previous to the October 25 board meeting, I had assisted Burns Manor in preparing a survey of interest regarding Group Health Insurance which Burns Manor distributed to its employees and tabulated the results. One of the serious concerns that came up at that board meeting was the small size of the group that would likely be included in such a plan and the associated volatile nature of the loss experience which could cause rates to rise and fall quite dramatically. Mr. Mike Carls, who was in attendance at the Hospital board meeting the day, before suggested the possibility of considering a combining of the City entities for Group Health Insurance to create a larger group. Clearly this is a possible alternative that has a number of advantages but there are also several considerations to be examined before preceeding. If after the City Council has had an opportunity to review the following CONSIDERATIONS, ADVANTAGES and CONCERNS, there is a desire to proceed investigating the possibility, I would then recommend that a meeting be arranged involving represenatives of each entity as appropriate which I could arrange to attend if that is deemed necessary. The purpose of such a meeting would be to discuss some of the agreements that would have 0 • to be reached in order for the program to be a success and to determine the level of interest with each of the various entities. Listed below, as previously mentioned, are a list of CONSIDERATIONS, ADVANTAGES and CONCERNS: CONSIDERATIONS 1. Since Burns Manor would be initiating a program for the first time and since Burns Manor agrees with my recommendation that they should offer a comprehensive major medical plan which is a lessor plan of benefits to what is currently provided for the City employees and the Hospital employees, I believe it would be unavoidable that a Group Health Benefits Plan covering all employees of all four . entities would have to contain individual, different plans of benefits for each entity. 2. I feel it is imperative that the subject of rate increases in future years be discussed in detail and a determination should be made as to whether or not the rate increase necessary as dictated by the loss experience should apply equally to all four entities or if the rate increases should vary according tc each entities" individual loss experience. If an agreement, preferably in writing, is not reached in advance I would be concerned that one of the entities whose loss experience was particularly negative in a particular year may generate dissatisfaction on the part of the remaining three entities for the rate increase that results therefrom. Since Burns Manor Municipal Nursing Home would probably have the smallest number of employees involved in such a program of any of the entities involved, individual rate making based on loss experience of each individual entity would have the potential of generating wide swings in costs for Burns Manor. It is true, however, that if Burns Manor proceeds, as they are currently considering, in seeking to put in place a plan of Group Health benefits for their employees individually they would be subject to the same potential for dramatic swings in the rate. ADVANTAGES I. ADVANTAGES OF COMBINING THE ENTITIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AN INSURED PLAN OR A SELF - FUNDED PLAN IS SELECTED A. Certainly some economies would be achieved in the charges that would have to be made by D. A. Tange Company for holding a public bidding for all four entities together as opposed to bidding at various times in future years for individual entities. B. The larger the group (ie:number of covered employees) the more predictable the loss experience becomes which, I believe, would have the effect of stabilizing the rate structure so that no one entity would incur a dramatic increase, if the decision is made to spread the rate increase amoung all the entities regardless of their individual loss experience. 2 E 0 II. ADVANTAGES OF A SELF - FUNDED PLAN OVER AN INSURED PLAN AS CURRENTLY IS BEING USED A. The interest earnings of the benefit fund would accrue to the true benefit of off setting costs for all the City entities. B. The City and all the entities would receive, I believe, better statistics from a third party administrator than are currently made available from Insurance Companies. This would be invaluable for future plan design and cost control. C. The City and all the entities would enjoy more flexibility with regard to plan design in benefits. It would pave the way for unique alternatives like cafeteria plans etc., if desired. Incidentally, I believe it would be in the best interests of the City and all the entities to set as an objective trying tc consolidate plan differences of the various entities to ultimately reach a point where a single plan of benefits is offered, preferably a comprehensive major medical which would contain a deductible and co- payment for the first two to five thousand dollars of covered expense. D. When the City and the entities do experience good years as far as loss experience is concerned, the excess or surplus funds and the interest thereon accrue to their benefit. CONCERNS I don't have any particular concerns with respect to combining the City, the Hospital, the Nursing Home and the Municipal Utility in an insured plan for Group Health Insurance provided the agreements between the entities commented on above under CONSIDERATIONS is reached in advance. I do however have a few concerns with respect to a self - funded plan that should be considered. I do not intend this to detract from my belief that a self - funded plan may well be the most cost effective long term solution to the problem of increasing costs of providing health care. A. The size of the employee group is a significant consideration in determining whether or not a self- funded plan of Group Health benefits should be considered. It would be difficult, in my opinion, for the City or any of the entities to individually consider the possibility of self- funding Group Health benefits due to the fact that the employee group would probably be too small. Minnesota Statute 471.617, Self Insurance of Employee Health Benefits, under subdivision one requires that a public entity may only self -fund Group Health benefits if there are more than 100 employees eligible to be covered. Subdivision two, however, allows any two or more public entities to ban together in order to achieve the minimum 100 eligible employees. Subdivision 6 of the same statute states that unless a Self Insured Health Benefit Plan was in effect on August 1, 1980 you may not continue to 3 0 • operate your plan without meeting the 100 eligible employee 1 minimum. It would appear to me, though you may wish to check with legal council, that if the number of employees were to ever drop below 100 you would be required to disband your self funded plan. In addition to the statutory requirements, I have found in working with other public entities that even a group of over 150 employees may not necessarily be able to attract interested "Excess Stop -Loss Reinsurers" and "Third -Party Administrators" to provide bids. I believe a minimum of 175, and preferably 200 to 250 eligible employees should be involved in the group in order to stand a reasonable chance of receiving several competitive bids for self- funding. B. I believe it would be important for an evaluation to be performed as to the number of employees who would be eligible for coverage under a self - funded plan for the City and the entities who are not actively at work due to a serious illness. I have found in a previous public bidding for another public entity that having several employees who were disabled and unable to work covered currently by their present Group Health Insurance plan was instrumental in their not receiving any viable self- funded bids. It should be noted however that the public entity to which I refer only had approximately 155 employees. C. It is possible that for the first year or two under a self - funded plan the cost of providing Group Health plan benefits may involve a greater up front cost than would be paid for an insured plan for the same group. The reason for this is that reinsurance normally provides coverage on an "individual claim excess basis" once a certain number of dollars (usually between $15,000 and $40,000 depending on the size of the group) is reached in a plan year for a single claim on a individual employee. In addition, "aggregate excess stop - loss" coverage usually kicks in once the total claims for all covered employees reaches 125% to 140% of "expected loss" in a plan year. Therefore the City would probably wish to fund the plan for the maximum amount of dollar output to be sure that an unfunded liability problem is not created. After the first year or two the surplus that you should accumulate in the benefit fund will begin, I believe, to give the desired result of stabilizing the costs of providing Group Health Benefits. I sincerely believe that a self- funded approach to Group Health Benefits is probably the most viable solution on a long term basis but would only be feasible for the City of Hutchinson if the entities band together. Other coverages such as Group Dental and, perhaps, even Long -Term Disability and Workers" Compensation may be possible future candidates for self - funding, provided a careful approach is taken to gradually increasing the City's retention level and funding these liabilities properly. I hope this is of some assistance and I shall await your decision as to whether you wish to continue investigating this possibility or cease looking at this any further. 4
