JUNRER SANITATION COMPLETES COMMERCIAL SURVEY
Junker Sanitation notified approximately 50 commercial establishments as a result of their
survey of utilization and rates for commercial refuse service. A copy of the notification
is attached.
Along with the notification was a statement of refuse charges for the prior three months.
As a result of the survey and billings, numerous telephone calls were received.
Jim Junker has requested that all telephone calls regarding the survey and increased rates
be directed to him in Stillwater, on a collect call basis.
UP -DATE ON HOLIDAY INN PROPOSAL
The Holiday Inn proposal, Mr. Winslow Chamberlain, has received the Council's Resolution
endorsing the concept of a Holiday Inn in downtown Hutchinson and, also, a site map that
was prepared by the City Engineer.
On Friday, June 23, 1978 I was notified by Mr. Chamberlain the site as shown on the map is
not large enough to obtain approval of the franchise. Mr. Chamberlain stated he needed
five to six acres, while the map illustrated an area of 3.8 acres. To expand the site
the railroad track on Second Avenue Northwest would be needed to be moved on the north
side of the street or completely removed from the area.
MEETING WITH BURLINGTON NORTHERN
In response to the request to expand the site of the Holiday Inn proposal, Marlow Priebe,
Bud Daggett, and I met with four Burlington Northern railroad officials.
Railroad officials were willing to consider relocation, preferably removal of the tracks
in the area. This would be contingent upon the City of Hutchinson assisting in•acquiring
the necessary right-of-way for a routing of the service track through the Industrial Park.
Specifically, railroad officials requested City assistance in obtaining the right-of-way
on the east property line of the parcel owned by the Utilities Commission. Also, right-
of-way would be needed from Farmers Elevator and Hutch Growth.

fifth member, and Chairman, will be chosen by the four members of the Board.
The Day Activity Center Board supported the choice of Winsted for the loca-
tion of the new facilities so no more hearings will be held.
Mr. Plod remarked there is another company interested in providing cable TV
survtce in Hutchinson, and they would like to purchase the equipment of Com-
munications Systems, Inc. In the event Mr. Sarrazin is unable to present
recommendations to fulfill his franchise agreement, perhaps the City Council
should pursue this interest further.
Administrative Assistant Plotz congratulated Mayor Black on his new office
as Vice President of the Minnesota League of Cities.

SPECIAL MEETING - HUTCHINSON CITY COUNCIL
FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1978
The special meeting of the City Council was called to order by Mayor Black at 12:00
noon. Present were Aldermen Peterson and Huntwork in addition to Mayor Black. Ab-
sent were Aldermen Gruenhagen and Westlund. Also present were Administrative Assis-
tant Plotz and Administrator Phil Graves.
Publication No. 2077 was read by Mayor Black, which called for sealed proposals for
the construction of the Hutchinson Community Hospital boiler room heat recovery.
The following bids were opened and read:
Rrasen Plumbing & Heating, Hutchinson
McDowall Co., St. Cloud
$24,972.00
26,898.00
After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Peterson to defer the awarding of bids
and refer them to the Hospital Board and Hospital Administrator for review and recom-
mendation. Seconded by Alderman Huntwork, the motion carried unanimously.
City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe requested the Council to approve the com-
pleted estimates for project worly both for 1977 and 1978. The monthly estimates are
as follows:
77-01 Juul Contracting $25,235.99 To be paid
77-35 it It 2,084.10 by bonds
77-12/ Duininck Bros. 19,083.91 from 1977
77-30
78-04 Juul Contracting 11,068.74 To be advanced
78-03 if it102,992.85 from sewer and
water account
Mayor Black asked for a report on the 1978 bond status. Administrative Assistant
Plotz replied that City Attorney Schantzen has sent the necessary material to Mr.
Bob Sander of Juran & Moody, Inc. and is awaiting a response. It appears the money
will not be available until approximately the middle of August. It will, therefore,
be necessary to borrow from the sewer and water account to pay the 1978 bills for
projects completed. Once the bond money is available, the money borrowed will be
replaced in the sewer and water account.
A motion was made by Alderman Peterson to authorize paying the above stated bills
and authorize borrowing from the sewer and water account to cover expenses of 1978
projects. Seconded by Huntwork, the motion unanimously carried.

liam Krienke as a summer employee in the Water Department. Seconded by Alderman Pet-
erson, the motion unanimously carried.

HUTCHINSON PLANNING COMMISSION
TUESDAY, MAY 16, 1978
1. CALL TO ORDER
The regular meeting of the Hutchinson Planning Commission was called to
order at 7:30 P.M. by Chairman Clint Tracy with the following members
being present: Bill Backen, Paul Christen, Don Erickson and Dan Huntwork
in addition to Chairman Tracy. Members absent were Elsa Young and Bruce
Peterson. 'Also present were Administrative Assistant Plotz, City Engineer/
Director of Public Works Marlow Priebe and Building Official Elden Willard.
2. CONSIDERATION OF PREVIOUS MINUTES FOR APRIL 18, 1978
On motion by Paul Christen, seconded by Don Erickson, the minutes of the
regular meeting on Tuesday, April 18, 1978 were approved as written. The
motion carried unanimously.
3. PUBLIC HEARINGS
a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR DEN -MAR BUILDING
SUBMITTED BY CURT BRADFORD
The public hearing was opened at 7:31 P.M. by Chairman Tracy.
Curt Bradford, Attorney-
He stated the unit was converted from resi-
246 Main Str. South
dential to commercial, that being a real
estate office. He asked the parking require-
ments be waived since there would probably
be only one more car during business hours
and he doesn't anticipate this office creating
much extra traffic. He also pointed out the
building was there long before the parking
lot and he is not aware that you can lease a
public parking lot to a private party. He
assured them the upstairs units would remain
as apartments.
Don Erickson asked whether Mr. Bradford had inquired about acquiring the empty
lot west of the building
to be used for parking.
Marlow stated the permit
should outline any further use of the building and
he felt this item should
be tabled until the next regular meeting allowing for
more time to review the situation,
After further discussion, Dan Huntwork made the motion, seconded by Bill Backen
to continue the hearing for a conditional use permit until June 20, 1978. The
motion carried with Paul Christen opposing the motion.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT FOR CLARK'S SECOND

May 16, 1978
Planning Commission Minutes -2-
ADDITION SUBMITTED BY JOHN E. MILLER
Chairman Tracy opened the hearing at 7;50 P.M. by reading the public hearing
notice and the recommendation from the City Engineer.
Marlow Priebe distributed a revised plat to the Planning Commission members
including the area designated for the neighborhood park. The idea of land
donation has been presented and accepted by the Park Board for stating they
felt it ,would be advantageous to the neighborhood.
After further discussion, the hearing was closed at 7:58 P.M. on motion
by Paul Christen, seconded by Dan Huntowrk and carried unanimously.
On motion by Don Erickson, and secondedby Paul Christen, it was recommended
to approve the preliminary and final plat with the park land donation for
Clark's Second Addition. Motion carried unanimously.
L) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY LARRY SORENSEN
The hearing opened at 8:00 p.m. by Chairman Tracy with the reading of the
public hearing notices as published in the Hutchinson Leader on May 5, 1978.
Larry Sorensen- Asked where the fence as suggested by the
545 -3rd Ave. SW City Engineer would have to be placed.
Marlow Priebe stated it should be put up where the two zones abut each other.
Larry Sorensen- Stated then he would be against that because
a tight fence on t(ro-thirds of the property
lines would cover his display area. He
understood the area to be zoned C-4 which
allows for what he proposes with a conditional
use permit.
Bill Haas, Attorney- Representing, John Miller, asked if the sales
P.O. Box 2.27 lot would be supervised. If not, the machinery
could be very dangerous should the neighbor-
hood children play in this area. Being danger-
ous to the public safety and welfare constitutes
reason for the request fora conditional use
permit to be ineligible or denied. He didn't
feel a fence would be good enough to solve the
problem.
Marlow Priebe thought the Ordinance was very clear regarding fences in areas
where commercially zoned property abutts residential. He also reported there
have been comments made regarding the appearance of the present Sorensen supply.
Larry Sorensen- Stated they have been there since 1955 and he
felt 99% of the complaints were from people
in the Valleyview apartments.

landing Lommissiun Minutes

Waldo Haag- Stated he was opposed to Sorensen supply
535 Harmony Lane going in on Hwy #7 West. You would still
be able to see everything with a cyclone
fence, he commented, even a redwood fence
would not cover it all up.
John Miller- Owns land on the West side of the property
714 Shady Ridge Road in consideration and understands Larry Sorensen
wanting to display his merchandise but he
doesn't feel this is a proper place for a
machinery lot: The fence would have to be
at least 20 feet high to cover it because
the land -is higher on the west side.
Larry Sorensen- Mentioned he does have some new machinery
too, not just used, and you should not have
to let land lay idle just because it is
across from a residentially zoned piece of
property.
After further discussion, Don Erickson made the motion to continue the hearing
for this conditional use permit for Larry Sorensen until Tuesday, June 20, 1978.
Dan Huntwork seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
4. NEW BUSINESS
a) DISCUSSION REGARDING STEVE BARTON HOME OCCUPATION AT 325 LYNN ROAD
Bill Haas, Attorney- Representing Steve Barton, stated he didn't
P.O. Box 227 understand how they arrived at the conclusion
with respect to his home occupation. He read
from the ordinance regarding home occupations and
the definition of liveable space.
Marlow pointed out that the discussion is relative to home occupation. Since
there seems to be a reasonable doubt regarding the definition of liveable space,
he recommended it be referred to the City Attorney. If the City Attorney
Mr. Schantzen agrees with Mr. Bill Haas' interpretation, the only alternative
would be to allow this one under the present wording of the ordinance. Marlow
Priebe also stated the Uniform Building Code designates what liveable space is,
and they need to determine if more area than allowable is being used in this case.
Bill Haat,, Attorney- Stated Mr. Barton's home did not meet the
building code because it had been built
before the Ordinance went into effect.
It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to have Mr. Haas, representing
Mr. Barton, and M.D. Schantzen, representing the City, discuss the issue further.
b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY MICHAEL DORN
Administrative Assistant Gary Plotz reviewed the request asking for
Mav 16. 1978 -4-
Fianning Commission Minutes
a reduction in the side yard setback.
After discussion, Don Erickson made the motion to set the public hearing
for June 20, 1978. It was seconded by Paul Christen and carried unanimously.
C) DISCUSSION ON POSSIBILITY OF ANNEXATION AND REZONING OF 50 ACRES
Mr. Sveal and Mr. Don Dressel presented a map of the area under consideration.
In considering the purchase of the property one of the contingencies is whether it
can be rezoned. They came to the Commission to get their reaction and comments
toward their proposal. Mr. Dressel suggested'zoning it R-3, Mutiple Family
Residential District, which would allow many uses.
Chairman Tracy suggested a Planned Unit Development could be a possibility
and may eliminate some problems. Don Dressel felt a planned unit development
would pin them down to a specific course of action.
It was decided to discuss the matter further at such time that a plan is
presented.
d) CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY THEO WACKER
Gary Plotz read from the application submitted by Mr. Wacker stating what
he proposed to do.
Mr. Willard explained that buildings that do not meet the 1962 Ordinance
need a conditional use permit providing what is proposed does not make the
building more non -conforming.
On motion by Don Erickson and seconded by Paul Christen, a public hearing
was set for June 20, 1978. Motion carried unanimously.
e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTED BY HARRY BACHMAN
Marlow Priebe explained the request.and asked that the Planning Commission
accept the concept then set a public hearing for preliminary plat.
On motion by Paul Christen, seconded by Bill Backen, the concept was approved.
Motion carried unanimously.
Don Erickson made the motion to set a public hearing for June 20, 1978. Paul
Christen seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
f) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT SUBMITTED BY MICHAEL LIEPKE
Mike Liepke- Stated he was interested in purchasing the
135 -1st Ave. NE adjoining property to possibly be used for
car sales lot, and or enlarge the present
existing building to the east. He pointed
out he didn't wish to purchase the property
unless it could be used and asked what was
being planned fors area in the compre-
hensive plan.

Planning Commission Minutes

Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant, noted that the owner of the property
needs to make the application for a conditional use permit. He stated
the developer has suggested possible housing for this area, however, it is
still in the talking stages and nothing has been proposed. Mr. Plotz also
pointed out this would be in the flood fringe area and he may have to
raise the ground level of the proposed addition.
After lengthy discussion, Mr. Liepke expressed he wished to withdraw his
request for a conditional use permit until further investigation on the
issue could be made.
g) CONSIDFRATION OF REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM R-3 to C-4 SUBMITTED BY GEORGE DRESS
Gary Plotz explained the request as stated in the application submitted by
George Dress. Marlow Priebe recommended they submit plans of some type
before the public hearing.
After discussion, Dan Huntwork made the motion to set the public hearing
for June 20, 1978. Don Erickson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
h) CONSIDERATION OF EXTENSION OF VARIANCE FOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
According to the letter dated May 15, 1978 from Clarice Coston the Chamber
has been unable to begin the construction of the canopy and would like
another six month extension on their variance request.
After discussion, Paul Christen made the motion to grant the extension, how-
ever, there would be no further extensions, a building permit should be
issued, and the construction completed within the next six month extension.
Don Erickson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously.
i) FURTHER DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR ALL HOME
OCCUPATION ACTIVITIES
The language regarding home occupations is very vague in the Ordinance
and it should be clarified as to the section stating, "not more than 25%
of the liveable floor area of said residence shall be used for such purposes."
It was the consensus of the Commission members to get a recommendation from
M.D. Schantzen regarding the wording in the Ordinance for a home occupation.
j) FURTHER DISCUSSION OF REQUIRING TRANSPORTABLE HOMES TO BE WITHIN MOBILE
HOME PARKS
The main concern was the change in language from being called mobile homes
to transportable homes. The solution to the problem, the Commission and
staff felt, would be in the fact that the construction of all structures has
to meet the building code and must be placed on the lot according to code.
May 16, 1978
Planning Commission Minutes -6-
k) DISCUSSION ON SIGN PERMITS FOR I/C - 1 DISTRICT
Mr. Willard, Building Official, pointed out everything that is done in an
I/C-1 District needs a conditional use permit but there is nothing in the
ordinance to refer to regarding signs. Sign permits are based on set-
back requirements but there are none in an I/C-1 District. Mr. Willard
asked what he should do about the sign permits he has pending for this
area.
It was decided to submit a recommendation regarding sign permits in an
I/C-1 District at the next Planning Commissidn meeting.
1) COMMUNICATION FROM STAFF
Mr. Priebe pointed out that Mr. Bruce Gerdig from the Department of Natural
Resources did not receive a notice for the conditional use permit on Nardees
Restaurant public hearing. Therefore, it will be necessary to hold another
public hearing and renotify all parties involved, including Mr. Gerdig.

TRANSPORTATION BOARD
JUNE 15, 1978
Members Present: Vice -Chairman Jack Kjos, Emma Lake, Clarice Coston, Rick Johnson
Others Present: Administrative Assistant Plotz, Personnel Coordinator Sitz, and
John Murphy, representing Cooley Bus Lines
Members Absent: Ronald Jonas and Kenneth Gruenhagen
The meeting was called to order at 12:15 P.M.
1. Selection of Chairman and Vice -Chairman
It was moved and seconded to nominate Jack Kjos, present Vice Chairman, for the
position of Chairman. Being no other nominations for Chairman, it was moved and
seconded to close the nominations and cast a unanimous ballot for Jack Kjos. Jack
was unanimously elected Chairman.
Nominations were opened for Vice Chairman. It was moved and seconded to nominate
Richard (Rick) Johnson for Vice Chairman. Being no other nominations for Vice
Chairman, it was moved and seconded to close nominations and cast a unanimous
ballot for Rick Johnson. Rick was unanimously elected Vice Chairman.
2. Status of Cooley Bus Lines
Mr. John Murphy, representing Cooley Bus Lines, presented three goals to make
continuation of service feasible.
1.) To secure a federal/state transit aid grant (2/3 federal/state and 1/3 local)
for subsidizing inter -connecting service.
2.) To re -finance a high interest loan that is presently keeping Mr. Cooley in
operation.
3.) To make further efforts to market and advertise passenger and freight service.
Mr Murphy specifically asked for assistance in obtaining and administering his
request for a federal and state transit grant. The anticipated grant would be
for approximately $24,000 with 1/3 or $8,000 coming from the communities along
the route to Minneapolis. Being that the City of Hutchinson is the largest com-
munity, Mr. Murphy estimated that their request would be for an amount of $4,000
to $5,000 for a 12 -month period. The sum of $2,000 is the approximate amount
that would be requested from Hutchinson for the remaining five months of 1978.
Smaller communities along the route would be requested to contribute $400 to $500
for a 12 -month period, based on population.
Transportation Board
June 15, 1978
Mr, Murphy,stated that to obtain the private subsidy the municipality would be
required to act as a "base station" and make the effort to apply for the grant.
Smaller municipalities along the route that would contribute would be required
to funnel their contributions to the City of Hutchinson, as it would be acting
as,the "base station" for administering the grant.
A motion was made -by Emma Lake and seconded by Clarice Coston to recommend Mr.
Murphy present his proposal to the City Council and to consider and support the
proposed concept of subsidizing private inter -connecting transit service. Mo-
tion carried unanimously.
Clarice Coston stated that such passage would be contingent upon full financial
accountability to -the City of Hutchinson. All the Transportation Board members
were in agreement.
It was further recommended that a letter from the Transportation Board Chairman
would be forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce suggesting their input to the City
Council on the proposed subsidy.
3. Vacancy
It was the consensus of the Transportation Board members that Russell Meade be
contacted to see whether he would be willing to fill the vacancy created by Dan-
iel Huntwork resigning. Staff will contact Mr. Meade and report back to Trans-
portation Board members by telephone. One other suggestion was Mr. Dick Marsellus,
Manager of the Penney's store.
4. Proposal for Hutchinson - Shuttle Service
Shuttle service was discussed with a possibility of a 30 -minute round trip 4route
from the southeast corner of Main and Washington, stopping at Park Towers, going
out Main Street, and stopping at the shopping center and Clinic/Hospital. in the
fall, it's envisioned an additional stop will be made at the Vocational School.
See attached brochure that has been discussed as a possibility to mail out .with
the utility bills. The shuttle service would be the first 30 minutes of each
hour for the balance of each hour utilized for the continuation of the Diad. -A -
Ride system.
After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to recommend the shuttle bus
service proposal to the City Council for approval. Motion carried unanimously.
4. Proposal for Implementation of Premium Rate
The concept of a premium rate of 50(,, "same day" call -ins was discussed at the
May Transportation Board meeting.
It was pointed out by Hazel Sitz that at a recent state transit meeting the prem-
ium rate concept is being used extensively in other communities. The purpose of
a premium rate is to establish an incentive to have passengers make advance res-

ervations. This reduces the number of turn -downs for rides, and also allows for
anticipating the need for scheduled drivers.
After discussion, a motion was made and seconded to recommend implementation of
the premium rate concept to the City Council. Motion carried unanimously.

Ridership was 1,718 passengers for May, 1978, compared to 1,646 for May, 1977.

DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE
Tuesday, June 6, 1978
1. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Quade at 12:10 P.M. Members
present were Marlin Torgerson, Bob Stearns, Don Abbott, Tom Savage, Jay
Alrick, Dennis Hukriede, Steve Richards and Tom O'Connell in addition to
Chairman Quade. Also present were Al Albert, Stanley Fisherman, B.J. Smiley,
AdRd nistrative Assistant Gary Plotz, Mayor D. J. Black, Clarence Simonowicz,
Richard Peterson a local realtor, Jean Lerberg, and Marlow Priebe, City
Engineer/Director of Public Works.
2. Administrative Assistant Gary Plotz opened the meeting by reviewing previous
activities and the downtown proposal. He mentioned the purpose of the meeting
today was to look at revisions or alternatives to the downtown retail proposal
and the discussion on tax increment financing will be postponed until a later
date.
Mr. Albert reviewed the current proposal for downtown Hutchinson using the
Library Square Park as the central core. In reference to the minutes of the
May 2, 1978 Downtown Development, Mr. Albert requested clarification with
regard to the statement "60 day time period.... to come up with a proposal for
a major tenant with substantial retail square footage."
Chairman Quade explained to Mr. Albert what he felt the Committee meant by this
motion asking for an alternate proposal including more square footage. At this
time Mr. Albert pointed out a major retail consisting of 30,000 or more square
footage would not be feasible in Hutchinson since the market would not be adequate
enough to support it. He felt 15,000 to 20,000 square footage would be more
practical for a major tenant in Hutchinson.
Mr. Stanley Fisherman presented two concepts for retail development in the
downtown area. Concept "B" consisted of development on the east side of main
street utilizing the S & L Building and some new businesses in the area of the
present theatre. Concept "A" contained development on both sides of Main Street,
the -addition being larger development behind Citizens Bank plus a covered
walkway in the rear of the stores.
Mr. Albert expressed their preference to Concept "B" and gave their -reasons
for this choice. He briefly mentioned the possibility of a motel, namely
Holiday Inn, being constructed on the Eugene Daggett Cold Storage site.
Chairman Quade pointed out the goal in doing this developing downtown is to attempt
to draw new retail business into the City with the intent of helping the present
businesses already here. Steve Richards expressed concern over the downtown busi-
nesses accepting the idea of the covered walkway behind the stores.
Mayor Black mentioned that personally he preferred Concept "A" to be completed
in stages, but there should be sound assurance when acquiring property for develop-
ment that something will be constructed in its place. He felt we've talked long
enough, now something (development) must be done this year.
It was decided to hold a special meeting of the Downtown Development Committee next

Tuesday, June 13, 1978 allowing Clarence Simonowicz sufficient time to make
a report regarding the proposed development and its ability to support tax

Dear City Council Members:
The Hutchinson Area Chamber of Commerce endorces the
general concept of improving transportation for our city
and realize the need of this service for the citizens of
Hutchinson. Especially is this a true need for our senior
citizen population. For a city of our size there is a defin-
ite need for interconnecting bus service to thesmetropoliten
areas of Minneapolis and St. Paul.
Cooley Bus Lines has demonstrated through five months
of bus service to our community and communities on highway #7
a desire to provide this need. With his good record during
the last five months and the realization that if this service
were to be discontinued we would not be able to attract another
bus line to service our area, the Hutchinson Area Chamber of
Commerce endorses the concept of a subsidy for continued bus
service and the request that Hutchinson become the base station
for this subsidy.

Members strongly felt that the cement block garage detracted from the ap-
pearance of the park and specifically the Point.
In addition, the Park Board is planning to install a plaque honoring Les Kouba
in the area, and a dedication of Les Kouba Point and Les Kouba Parkway is plan-
ned for some time in September. Therefore, the Parks Board's request is to
have the removal made at the earliest possible time and prior to September.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 22, 1978
TO: Hutchinson City Council
--------------------------------
FROM: Planning Commission
--------------------------------
SUBJECT: Request for Variance Submitted by Michael Dorn
Pursuant to Section 6.05, of Zoning Ordinance No. 464, the Hutchinson Planning
Commission is hereby submitting its finding of fact and recommendation with
respect to the aforementioned request for variance.
HISTORY
On April 27, 1978, Michael Dorn of Dorn Builders, Inc. of Scottsdale, AZ submitted
an application requesting a six foot sideyard setback at the property located at
Lot 1, Block 23, North half Hutchinson. At the regular meeting of the Planning
Commission on'May 16, 1978 a public hearing was set for June 20, 1978. At the
public hearing Mr. Dorn was present to explain the building he proposed and the
landscaping. Mr. Elden Willar, Building. Official, suggested a ten foot side yard
variance would be more appropriate than a six foot variance.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The required application and fee were submitted by Dorn Builders.
2. Surrounding property owners received notice of the public hearing and it
was published in the Hutchinson Leader on June 9, 1978.
3. In a memo dated June 20, 1978, City Engineer Priebe recommended approval based
on the fact that the lots in this area are generally 66' wide, therefore,
making them difficult to redevelop.
4. A ten foot setback as recommended by the Building Official was considered more
appropriate with regard to the building code requirements.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the request for variance
be approved with a ten foot interior sideyard setback.
Respectfully submitted,
Paul Christen, Acting Chairman
Hutchinson Planning -Commission

RESOLUTION NO.6150
A RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE FROM SECTION 6.05 OF THE
ZONING ORDINANCE TO ALLOW A TEN FOOT INTERIOR
SIDEYARD SETBACK
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUTCHINSON, MINNESOTA:
FINDINGS
1. Mr. Michael Dorn of Dorn Builders, Inc. has applied for a variance from
Section 6.05 of the Zoning Ordinance to allow for a ten foot interior sideyard set-
back in the construction of an office building at the following location, to -wit:
Lot 1., Block 23, North Half of City
2. The Planning Commission has reviewed the application for a variance and
has recommended to the City Council that the application be granted.
3. The Council has considered the effect of the proposed variance upon the
health, safety, and welfare of the community, existing and anticipated traffic con-
ditions, light and air, danger of fire, risk to the public safety, and the values of
property in the surrounding area and the effect of the proposed variance upon the
Comprehensive Plan.
4. Because of conditions on the subject property and on the surrounding property,
it is possible to use the subject property in such a way that the proposed variance
will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, unreason-
ably increase the congestion in the public streets, increase the danger of fire, en-
danger the public safety, unreasonably diminish or impair health, safety, comfort,
morals, or in any other aspect be contrary to the intent of the ordinance and the
Comprehensive Plan.
5. The special conditions applying to.the structure or land in question are
peculiar to such property or immediately adjoining property and do not apply gen-
erally to other land or structures in the district in which such land is located.
6. The granting of the application is necessary for the preservation and en-
joyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. It will not merely serve
as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hard-
ship or difficulty.
CONCLUSION
The application for variance for the purpose designated is granted based upon the
findings set forth above. '

SUBJECT: _ Preliminary Plat - Bachman's First Addition_
Pursuant to Section 3.20 of Subdivision Ordinance No. 466, the Hutchinson Planning
Commission is hereby submitting its finding of fact and recommendation with respect
to the aforementioned request for preliminary plat.
HISTORY
On May 12, 1978 Mr. Bachman submitted a plat application for the property described
as South 2200' of the West 1300' of the SW 1/4 of Sec. 35-117-30 lying North of
T.H. 7 & 22 c6nsisting of 14 lots to be known as Bachman's First Addition. At a
regular meeting on May 16, 1978 Marlow Priebe presented the plat and explained the
request and reasoning for coming to the City for approval. Also a public hearing
was set for June 20, 1978 at which time no was present to speak against the request
however, Myra Hoffman, Mr. Bachman's secretary, was present to answer any questions.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The plat application and fee were submitted as required.
2. Notice was published in the Hutchinson Leader on Friday, June 9, 19'78.
3. In a memo dated June 15, 1978, City Engineer Priebe stated the proposed plat
conforms to County Platting Standards. He also pointed out it does not appear
feasible to require Bachman's First Addition to meet the City Platting Ordinance
requirements since annexation to the City west of Campbell Lake is not feasible
for some time.

t is the recommendation of the Planning Commission to recommend approval of the
Preliminary Plat to City Council and then refer it to the County.

TO: Mayor and City Council ____________________
FROM: Gzry Plotz, Administrative Assistant and Ken Merrill, City Accountant
SUBJECT: Aktho=ization for Gary Plotz to Sign One Year Contract with Xerox ---
After having used the 3107 Xerox copy machine with reduction for an extended ---
period of time it is recommended to enter into a one year rental agreement.
It is felt the reduction feature on the machine is a needed function.
At this time the 3107 is the only machine available with reduction at an
acceptable price. However, with the rapid change in the copy machine industry
and also the city's possible expanded needs, it would be more advantageous to
rent rather than purchase the machine and review again next year.
The agreement gives us a one year price -guarantee (July 1, 1978 to July 1, 1979)
and would require some minor budget changes due to the rental cost rather thane
purchase. The cost of the agreement for the 3107 is $195.00 for the first 3850
copies per month, the next 2149 copies cost $.027 per copy and over 6000 copies are
$.013 per copy, this price does include all maintenance costs.

The Park and Recreation Board reviewed the proposal to apply for a Parks
Grant to acquire property East of the Main Street bridge and continuous to
Fireman's Park.
The Parks Board was unanimously in agreement to make application. The site
discussed is attached.
Park Board members felt that this acquisition would be beneficial to the com-
munity by improving the entrance to the City, regardless if other development
takes place in the area. It is noted that the proposed addition to Fireman's
Park is in both the Park System Plan and the Downtown Development Plan.
Assistance in preparing that application will be provided by Clarence

MEMO
June 23, 1978
TO: Mayor D. J. Black
FROM: City Engineer
SUBJECT: Sidewalk in Stoney Point Road
Subsequent to our meeting with Mr. Smith and Mr. Wilson on Tuesday, June 20th
relative to the above -referenced sidewalk, I have given the issue much thought.
It is my opinion the City could require the sidewalk based on the following
reasons:
1. Subsequent to study by Safety Council and Police Department and approved
by the City Council, the sidewalk is needed as a safety feature for the
people in the development.
2. Due to the final development of the area, a cross -walk at a new location
has been recommended and approved by the City Council.
3. The present cross -walk was considered temporary, inasmuchas it was not
feasible to place it further West at that time.
4. Inasmuchas it is considered needed for the development, the developers
can assess the costs to more than the eleven (11) lots, it will be on the
same as they are doing with the sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer,
curb and gutter and bituminous surfacing.
Sincerely,

accepted biological principles.
The Lead Agency through a contracting procedure with
the Minnesota Department of Agriculture will provide for any needed
assistance in enforcing rules for Dutch elm disease control as
adopted pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 18.023. This
regulatory assistance will be provided on a need basis to ensure

It is therefore agreed that the State and City will renew or
extend the term of this Agreement when and if funding is alloted
to the State for the purposes outlined in this Agreement; provided

program with the City is in the best interest of the public and

SUBJECT: Appraisals
--------—————————————————— — -- — ——
The City of Hutchinson requested proposals for appraising City property for
insurance purposes.
Both Mr. William Peat, consultant for the League of Cities, and our insurance
carrier provided names of reliable insurance appraisers.
The City received three proposals. Each proposal was further examined by our
City Accountant through telephone conversations with the respective firms.
We recommend acceptance of the Marshall & Stevens proposal in the amount of
$9,650. The amount includes appraisal services for Burns Manor Nursing Home.
The Marshall & Stevens proposal came under the $13,500 that was budgeted in
total by both the City and Burns Manor Nursing Home. It is noted that the
other two proposals were for $11,670 and $22,310 respectively.
The Hutchinson School District is presently utilizing Marshall & Stevens along
with the Cities of St. Paul, Litchfield, Redwood Falls, etc.

SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Program
At a recent meeting I attended, it was pointed out that communities that hold
yearly hearings on Capital Improvement Programs find that when the projects
are accepted by the people when they are scheduled for construction.
It is my opinion, that from this type of hearing we could schedule or
reschedule a particular project that would be in accordance with the wishes
of the people being effected.
If you consider this favorably, it is my recommendation we do this in August.
How it would be done is open for suggestions.
