The exception is that only (1) approval from City officials and, (2) in accordance with the local shade tree program can wood be moved within the City.

PAUL, MINNESOTA 55155) ( PHONE 612 - 296 - 2856 ) Agriculture Commissioner Bill Walker today announced a quarantine effective Monday, April 24, 1978; which severely restricts the movement of elm wood with bark Intact within the state. The quarantine prohibits the movement of all elm wood, including elm firewood, into or through any home rule charter or statutory city or any shade tree disease control area In the unincorporated areas of any county. "I am only sorry this was not done years ago. Whether diseased or not," continued Walker, "elm wood with bark intact cannot be transported from -one -City to -another, -from one part of the state to another. This Is Important because the bark beetles that spread the fungus which causes Dutch elfin disease live under the bark of elm wood. The beetles 'ay eggs and multiply under the bark. Emerging beetles can carry the spores of the �lseasedorganism to healthy elms. This is why it is critical to restrict the movement pf wood. �r The quarantine does provide for the movement of such material in municipalities `participating in the state Shade Tree Program. Elm wood with bark intact may be trans- ported within these municipalities if such movement has been specifically approved by city officials and if the wood is moved in accord with the local shade tree wood disposa, ' or utilization program. "Any elm wood product or material transported within the state In violation of the quarantine may be destroyed or returned to the origin at the owner's expense," Walker said. The Commissioner explained that any common carrier, firm, corporation or individua: that violates the quarantine may be charged with a misdemeanor. "There are those who wlli say this is a severe penalty," Walker noted, "but many municipalities have worked very hard to control the spread of Dutch elm disease. Milliors of dollars have been spent in this endeavor. These programs will be severely undermined If this material is brought into these municipalities. In some of our cities, the incidence of Dutch elm disease is very low. With an aggressive sanitation program, these cities might successfully control the disease. Such programs should not be Jeopardized by the Introduction of these elm products or materials." The- off ecti-ve_darts-of-this`.quaranttne Ls Monday, Apr i 1 24, 1978.

Mayor Black had reservations about the City becoming involved in a brochure, although he is favorable of the project. It might appear that the Council is giving approval over some of the other projects in the City. The wrong impression could be given by endorsing a brochure for the Clinton House Apartments.' It was the general consensus of the Council that they should not endorse this brochure. (e) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASING PROPERTY AT 25 FRANKLIN STREET NORTH THROUGH A CONTRACT -FOR -DEED I. APPRAISAL SUBMITTED BY J. HAROLD BEYTIEN 2. APPRAISAL SUBMITTED BY HAZEL BASEMAN Mayor Black gave brief background information on action taken several years ago when locations were being considered and property owners north of City Hall were contacted to sell their land. No one was willing to sell at that time. Now Hazel Baseman has decided to sell her property at 25 Franklin Street North and has given the City first option. Two appraisals have been made and each is for approximately the same amount. City ownership of this property would fit into the total downtown development concept. Alderman Westlund remarked that recently the City planners recommended the City purchase any property that might come up for sale, and this site was one of the areas suggested for acquisition. He felt the price was fair. Mayor Black commented that the property would remain rental until such time as it is needed for over-all development. He further instructed the City Attorney to meet with Miss Baseman to work out financial arrangements for purchase and bring the recommendation back to the Council. It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to approve the purchase of the property at 25 Franklin Street North in the amount of $40,000 and to enter into a contract -for -deed. Motion unanimously carried. It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to approve the transfer of $8,000 from the Contingency Fund to the General Fund to cover the down payment. Motion unanimously carried. -5- Council Minutes April 11, 1978 (f) CONSIDERATION OF RESIGNATION OF JEFF JEWELL After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K.

He felt it would be a good idea for the City to have a booth available to provide information to the public on the building code and zoning information. The cost of a booth is $40. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alder- man Westlund, to approve a booth for the City at the Builders Show. Motion unanimously carried. (h) CONSIDERATION OF SEWER AND WATER SERVICE ON WALLER DRIVE City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that Mr. and Mrs. John Beck have purchased property on Waller Drive and have requested sewer and water service from the City. At the present time there is no service on Waller Drive. It will be necessary to hold a public hearing before the water and sewer service can be put in. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to approve the service and set a public hearing for May 9, 1978 during the regular Council meeting. Motion unanimously carried.

Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alder- man K. Peterson, to approve the cable TV Easement and authorize the Mayor and Administrative Assistant to sign the Easement Agreement. Motion unani- mously carried. (k) CONSIDERATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF PENNY JOHNSON AS RECREATION SECRETARY/ TRANSIT DISPATCHER -6- Council Minutes April 11, 1978 After discussion, it was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to confirm the employment of Penny Johnson as Recreation Sec- retary/Transit Dispatcher, effective April 17, 1978. Motion unanimously carried, (1) CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS Mayor Black commented on the Christmas decorations recently approved for purchase. The question is now on how to pay the balance. In the past the Chamber of Commerce has borrowed the money and paid back the loan with the City contributions. Another method would be to pay for the decorations out of the contingency fund and budget the amount back each year until it is replaced. He didn't see any further need for the City's involvement in the actual purchase as long as it is paid for. It should be kept in mind to budget for future purchase so that the money will be available when needed. Also,'to take into consideration inflation and rising costs. Mr. Black pointed out another method would be to transfer $4,900 from the contingency fund into the Christmas decorations fund and pay off the balance. It was moved by Alderman Westlund to transfer $4,900 from the Contingency Fund to the General Fund to pay the balance on the Christmas decorations. Seconded by Alderman K. Peterson, the motion unanimously carried. (m) CONSIDERATION OF AERIAL BUCKET FOR PARK DEPARTMENT City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that the specifications have been completed for an aerial bucket for the Park Department. He needs Council approval to advertise for bids. After discussion, it was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alder- man Westlund, to approve the specifications for an aerial bucket for the Park Department and advertise for bids to be opened on May 9, 1978 at 2:00 P.M. Motion unanimously carried. It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Westlund, to waive reading and adopt Resolution No. 6112 entitled Approving Specifica- tions and Ordering Advertisement for Bids. Motion unanimously carried. 10. MISCELLANEOUS . (a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CLERK -ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT Administrative Assistant Plotz reported that on Thursday, April 13, the ap- praiser firm of C. R. Pelton & Associates of St. Paul, Minnesota will be in Hutchinson to view the sites and inspect the property being considered for the elderly housing site. The final appraisal report will be completed -7- Council Minutes April 11, 1978 within three weeks. After its release, the City can then enter into nego- tiations. The initial contact has been made with the owners, tenants, re- garding relocation. Mr. Plotz further reported that there has been some interest in develop- ment of property east of Main Street, in the area known as the S&L Build- ing, Masonic Temple, and east side of that block along Hassan to the funeral home. He met with some of the property owners and representatives in that block at a luncheon today. On Wednesday morning, April 12, Mr. Plotz will meet with the developer to present the joint improvement proposals. The Developmental Achievement Center proposal prepared jointly by the City and School District was submitted to the DAC Board on April 3, 1978. After the proposals were opened and reviewed, Winsted was selected as the new site. Inasmuch as Winsted was able to appear at the DAC meeting, but no indication was given as to where or what time the meeting would be held, the City of Hutchinson and School District are requesting an opportunity to present the proposal to the DAC Board. Mr. Plotz reminded the Council members that on Tuesday, April 18, at 2:00 PM there will be four bid openings, namely for street improvement projects, road oil and tree removal. Prior to the bid openings, Hazel Sitz, Personnel Co- ordinator, and Administrative Assistant Plotz wish to meet briefly with the Council to discuss two matters of personnel. The Workshop scheduled for Friday, April 28, 1978 will be held in the Con- ference Room of the Hutchinson Community Hospital. Mr. Plotz will be mail- ing out an agenda within the next few days. Administrator Phil Graves has contacted Mr. Plotz for the Council to indi- cate who should advertise and open bids for coronary care monitoring equip- ment for the Hospital. The letting will be held at Noon on April 27, 1978. Mayor Black responded that the City of Hutchinson would both advertise and open bids for the equipment. (b) COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE MAYOR Mayor Black expressed concern about the Developmental Achievement Center proposal in that the meeting was initially listed as "closed" and then was open. He resented the fact that Hutchinson did not receive an invitation to be present at the meeting when other cities were able to do so. Mayor Black felt the City and School District should pursue a meeting with the DAC Board to present our proposal. A request has been received for Police Officers Michael Hogan and Michael Kirchoff to attend the Fifth Annual DWI and MATSA Conferences in St. Cloud on May 10-12, 1978. -8- Council Minutes April 11, 1978 It was moved by Alderman Westlund, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to grant permission for Officers Michael Hogan and Michael Kirchoff to at- tend the DWI and MATSA Conferences. Motion unanimously carried. Mayor Black made reference to a letter received from Mr. Alfred Albert of the A&P Group dated April 4, 1978, in which he requested to be designated the developer for the Senior Citizen Highrise and that the City select a negotiating team to enter into negotiations with A&P for their acquisition of the property. Mr. Black pointed out the need to consider what method will be used to handle this project. It could be turned over to a developer who would secure all the financing and become the owner, or it could be financed through an industrial revenue bond and become the property of the City once paid for. In the next two or three months it will be neces- sary to make a decision on this matter. Inasmuch as Tom Cone has served on the Planning Commission for 10 years and does not wish to be re -appointed, Mayor Black appointed Dan Huntwork to the Planning Commission for a five-year term. It was moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, to approve and ratify the appointment of Dan Huntwork to the Planning Commis- sion. Motion unanimously carried. It was further moved by Alderman K. Peterson, seconded by Alderman Gruen- hagen, to issue a Resolution of Commendation to Tom Cone in appreciation of his service on the Planning Commission. lrbtion unanimously carried.

It was further moved by Alderman Gruenhagen, seconded by Alderman K. Peter- son, to issue a Resolution of Commendation to Harold Juul as former Hos- pital Board member. Motion unanimously carried. Mayor Black reported the League Convention will be held June 6-9, 1978 in Minneapolis. He wondered how many of the Council members and staff would be able to attend. Mr. Black remarked that he had ridden around town and looked at the property where the owners had been notified to clean up the debris. As far as he could tell, nothing had been done. He instructed City Attorney Schantzen to proceed with legal action if nothing is done by property owner by the end of the week. -9- Council Minutes April 11, 1978 (c) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ENGINEER/PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that yesterday he met with the owners of Midwest Trailer Court. They are interested in improving the trailer court and surrounding area and were very coopera- tive with the City in meeting the requirements. (d) COMMUNICATION FROM LARRY WILLMSEN Mr. Larry Willmsen appeared before the Council and explained that Governor Rudy Perpich has declared April 27 and 28, 1978 as Handicapped Awareness Days in the State of Minnesota. Since he represents Region 6E in Willmar for the Hutchinson area, he was requesting permission of the Council mem- bers to participate by spending some time in wheel chairs. Radio station KDUZ and the Hutchinson Leader will be participating, as well as Senator John Bernhagen will be present for this event. All of the Council members responded that they would be agreeable to participating, and Mr. Willmsen said he would reserve wheel chairs for their use. (e) COMMUNICATION FROM TEXGAS CORPORATION Texgas Corporation has requested permission to set a mobile home on property southeast of the plant warehouse bordering Huron Street. Mr. Del Crotteau, Branch Manager of Texgas Corporation, asked that a permit be issued for a period of not less than six months. City Engineer/Public Works Director Priebe reported that Building Inspec- tor Willard had been contacted by Texgas previously. Also, the Fire Chief and Marshal are concerned about the location of the property. Following discussion, it was moved by Alderman K.

Motion unanimously carried. (f) COMMUNICATION FROM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE Mr. Neil Jensen, representing the Chamber of Commerce, appeared before the Council and requested that the Chamber receive a full packet of the Coun- cil material which is issued to the Council members, staff and press. He pointed out that a Chamber representative will be attending each of the City Council meetings, and it is difficult to follow the discussion with- out some knowledge of the business being discussed. Mayor Black remarked that the Chamber of Commerce has requested a packet before, but the request had been denied inasmuch as it is felt that all the people should receive the material at the same time. The press is an -10- 0 Council Minutes April 11, 1978 exception in this case. Also, some of the contents of the packet is of a confidential nature and should not be available to everyone. If the Chamber is granted this privilege, all other organizations would likewise have to receive a packet. Mr. Jensen responded that the confidential material could be eliminated from the packet. After discussion, it was the consensus of the Council that a packet would be made available for review at City Hall by anyone wishing to see it, with the deletion of all confidential material. 11.

Also present were Fred Roberts (Assistant Director of Public Works), Rod Keith (Recreation Director), Gary Plotz (City Administrator), Marlow Priebe (City Engineer), Kay Peterson (Representative from City Council), Ruth Dunn (Hutchinson Leader), and Grace Sanstead (Secretary). The minutes of the March meeting were read and approved by Chairman Daggett. Otto Christensen of. the DNR came to the meeting and showed slides of some of the areas on the Luce Line Trail in both summer and winter conditions. He emphasized what a wonderful bicycle trail it would be and will be ready for the Hutchinson area people by 1979. The trail will also be used for hiking, horseback riding, snomobiling, and skiing. $400,000 has been spent so far for the 1200 acres of land and has cost $700,000 to date. He spoke of a rest stop every five miles and a camp ground every ten miles --preferably near water. Although Mr. Christensen is being promotedt he will See that the Trail is finished and thanked the Board and the City Council for their cooperation. He also asked that people be recommended to the task force for the trail development. Westly Hendrickson and Gary Tushie from St. Paul came to the meeting and showed sketches of what they have planned - to date-- in spot areas for parks. They asked the Park Board for a projection of parks and park planning that they have in mind --what needs and goals relative to the city's growth. The first concern was the swimming pool which will be north of the Civic arena, then a golf course for the public. Chairman Daggett talked of dredging the river from thech dam, south, through the city limits. This has been under consideration by the Park Board for many years. Mr. Priebe said he was sure there would be federal funds available for this work. Mr. Hendrickson asked about any historical sites the City wished to have preserved. Kay Peterson expressed a wish to'develop as much of the river frontage as possible. Park d Recreation Board Minutes Page 2 April 5, 1978 It was brought up that organizations such as the Jaycees have their own plans and it might be a good idea to have one of their representatives attend the meetings. They can then express their desires and state how much they would be able to help. Rod Keith said there is a need for additional recreational fields. Mr. Daggett suggested that the planners take population density of areas into consideration at such time in the future that these plans will materialize. The planners will return in May with written goals and needs for discussion regarding alternative park system plans. On their departure, Dr. Chernausek made a motion that we recommend to the City Council that the raise recommended by Mr. Priebe in March M on increasing the contribution schedule for developer's donations to the City be increased to 40 percent. It was seconded by Mr. Morrissette and passed unanimously. Kay Peterson, who had opposed the increase at first, decided it was alright; and advised an annual review by the Board, say in April of each year, on the contributions. Mr. Priebe requested a cable T.V. easement across the cemetary property adjacent to the hospital property. He asked approval for said easement on the south thirty feet of City cemetary property for a six month period --at which time they will have installed the permanent underground facility in the requested easement. Ward Haugen made a motion to honor the request, seconded by Dr. Chernausek, unanimously approved. Mr. Priebe advised the Board that the 18" x 18" plaque honoring Les Kouba would cost around $1,000. A 12" x 18" plaque would be $712 --the first line being free. Mr. Deane Dietel appeared at the meeting. The Board then learned that the City is now responsible for insurance on the target practice range in the Armory basement at $400 a year --as it is now a recreation activity, therefore open to the public. Mr. Plotz told us that this was explained by the City Attorney at the last Council meeting. It can no longer be covered under the NRA insurance, as was formerly planned, because its a public recreation it will have to be covered by City insurance. Guidelines were set up by Mr. Dietel: No smoking, Children under 12 must be accompanied by an approved ON adult, etc. Dr. Chi -ausek made a motion for permiss;nn to be granted for Park b Recreation Board Minutes Page 3 April 5, 1.978 one year, for no cost to th City, for use of the range with a full review in one year. It was seconded by Ward Haugen and unanimously approved --subject to the approval of City Council. Fred Roberts gave his report. They have had two ladder truck demonstrations. Buildings have been cleaned and flower beds have been uncovered. Tennis courts have been washed off and nets were put up. Estimates are being made on rebuilding the chimney at the Old Armory, also for repairs on the flue gate on the, dam.. Park signs will soon be put up --when the frost is out of the ground. Rod Keith gave his report and a list of activities being offered this month. The jummer brochure will go out with the May utilities mailings. April is softball meeting month in the Old Armory. The men's commercial Slo-Pitch meeting is April 18th - women's April 12th. Applications for recreation director assistant to replace Jeff McKay will be coming in. A motion was made to accept Mr. Roberts and Mr. Keith's reports by Mr. Morrissette, seconded by Dr. Chernausek, unanimously approved, Mr. Plotz advised a Dutch Elm Grant for $7,00n to be used for sanitation with increases from 14 to 114 trees. Property owners have been allowed un to $50 for tree removal. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9;50 p.m. The next meeting will be on May 1. There was no decision whether this will be a noon or evening meeting. Mr. Haugen commented that it is hard for him to have noon meetings on Wednesdays. Don Falconer will, take the position on the seven -member Board representing the Park and Recreation Board, on the Senior. Citizen Advisory Board. Respectfully submitted, Grace Sanstead, Secretary c lv MINUTES TRANSPORTATION BOARD April 12, 1978 1.

Members present at this meeting were as follows: Elsa Young, Clinton Tracy, Don Erickson, Bill Backen, and Bruce Peterson in addition to Chairman Cone. Members absent: none. Also present were Adminis- trative Assistant Gary Plotz, City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe, Building Official Willard and Jean Lerberg the Executive Director of Park Towers. 2.

PUBLIC HEARINGS a) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR REZONING FROM R-2 TO R-3 AN AREA WHICH INCLUDES THE PARK TOWERS HIGHRISE Chairman Cone opened the hearing at 7:31 P.M. by reading the public hearing notice as published in the Hutchinson Leader on March 10, 1978. At this time he also read the memo from staff containing their recommendation of approval. A letter from Tom and Susan McClure dated March 20, 1978 was read to everyone present by Chairman Cone which stated they objected to the rezoning. Marlow Priebe, Director of Public Works, described the area being considered for rezoning to R-3. The reason he brought it before the Planning Commission was that in doing research he discovered Park Towers was incorrectly zoned when the new zoning map was drawn. The proper zoning would be R-3 and rather than spot zone one block, Mr. Priebe suggested a larger area to be rezoned. Gayle Wick -Felt this area had been upgraded from what 500 Fischer it was, commercial to residential. Paul Christen directed a question to Marlow Priebe regarding the basic dif- ferences between an R-2 District and an R-3 District. Mr. Priebe stated the major difference would be that apartments are allowed under an R-3 District. There are additional differences allowable with a conditional use permit, however, they are handled on a case by case basis with a public hearing. Gayle Wick -If something were established before the zoning ordinance than it is grandfathered in and it would be hard to chase them out. Melvin Klockman -If the only reason for the rezoning were to 545 Franklin correct an error in zoning of Park Towers, then why make another mistake by rezoning more. 7-a Planning Commission Minutes March 21, 1978 -2- Jude Gardner - One reason for the rezoning is because 504 South Hassan Park Towers is now non -conforming, and the staff is not interested in spot zoning, why rezone 14 square blocks to bring Park Towers into correct zoning district? In speaking to the neighbors, they would like to keep the neighborhood residential. The zoning Ordinance is a set of promises to the people. Wallace Wallner -Stated he had talked to 40 people on Hassan 536 S. Hassan Street and Main Street and they have signed a petition stating they are opposed to the neighborhood being rezoned which will allow construction of apartments. Gayle Wick -Asked for a show of hands of those who were a. against the rezoning. Bill Haase -Stated he was in favor of the rezoning. When 505 Main S. living on Main Street you are always fighting the noise. An R-3 Allows for apartments and is available if the need arises but people do not need to tear their houses down. The Planning Commission does control the quality of what is built in Hutchinson. He explained there is no danger in rezoning, there will be no immediate change, Hassan Street won't change and the people do have control. Jude Gardner -The results of the Comprehensive Plan will be in in the Fall of 1978 so why rezone now? Is there something you know about? He then directed a question to Marlow Priebe regarding the housing on Clinton and Merrill Streets. City Engineer/Director of Public Works Priebe stated the front and side yard set- backs are the same in an R-2 and R-3, however, there is five feet'less re- quired in a rear yard setback for an R-3 Zone than in an R-2 Zone. Jude Gardner -Asked about the off-street parking and the play area for these apartments on Clinton and Merrill. Marlow Priebe answered by stating the parking has not been started since they are in the middle of construction but will have the required amount for parking. Wallace Wallner -Stated he thoughtyou voted in a demoncracy. Milan Braun -He would not like to see an interpretation of 436 Hassan S. the apartments on Milwaukee on Hassan or Main Street. He would no like to see the area destroyed just to bu an apartment. Planking Commission Minutes March 21, 1978 -3-- Ron McGraw -Representing Mr. Holmquist and himself. Hearing Attorney the concern expressed by the property owners present they don't really need a spokesman to represent them. People should be able to rely on the zoning, if you change the zoning then you change the area. He felt a great deal of time was spent in looking at the area and it was zoned accordingly, therefore it shouldn't be changed. Denton Wilson -In referring to the memo stating their would be 546 Main Street S. no immediate change, he wondered if his taxes Emmitt Haroldson would go up by being zoned R-3. Also he in- 335 Glen St. So. quired as to whether the City would be getting Chairman Tom Cone explained Federal monies by rezoning? Director of Public Works Priebe stated he did not know of anyone interested in building an apartment in the area being considered. If no one found it favorable to do -so, it could be 10 years before a change were made. Bill Holquist -Stated he has an old home in this area which 555 Franklin St. he chose because it was close to downtown and the churches. This is worth more than money and we should think about moral standards not just dollars and cents. Don't throw it all to the wind and let them build apartments in this area. Steven Spaudie -Lives on the fringe area and has not been in 606 Brown Hutchinson as long as some of them present but he is concerned about the rezoning just the same. If the rezoning is done for the purpose of Park Towers, then why not rezone only Park Towers. He chose Hutchinson to live because it is a good community. If the zoning is changed he feels somebody will come in and build something even- tually. Dana Belck -Stated he was opposed to it all the way. Emmitt Haroldson -Asked is the rezoning for the City, for the 335 Glen St. So. business district or for the apartments? Chairman Tom Cone explained the request for rezoning, and the reasoning behind it. Jude Gardner -Felt people do not really understand what is going on with the rezoning. People within 350 feet were notified and do have a say on the issue. Mrs. Robert Herbert -Asked if her home could be condemned if an Route 1 apartment were built next door. Planning Commission Minutes March 21, 1978 -4- Chairman Cone explained eminent domain and Director of Public Works Priebe stated that if a private party were involved, the City cannot condemn. When the City does condemn a piece of property, they must show just cause. There being no one else present wishing to be heard at this time, the public hearing was closed at 8:25 P.M. on motion by Paul Christen, seconded by Don Erickson and carried unanimously. After lengthy discussion, in view of the enormous opposition, Paul Christen made the motion to reject the area proposed for rezoning and recommend approval to rezone the Park Towers unit only. Bruce Peterson seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VACATION OF ALL UTILITY, DRAINAGE AND STREET EASEMENTS IN STONEY POINT SECOND ADDITION The hearing was opened by Chairman Cone at 8:35 P.M. by reading the public hearing notice as published in the Hutchinson Leader. Director of Public Works Priebe explained they were ready to record the final plat but could not do so until the aforementioned easements were vacated. There being no one else present wishing to speak at this time, the hearing was closed at 8:37 P.M. on motion by Clint Tracy, seconded by Elsa Young and carried unanimously. After discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion, seconded by Paul Christen, to recommend aDDroval of this request to City Council. Motion carried unanimously. c) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO UPGRADE THE HOME AT 272 -FOURTH AVENUE NORTHWEST The hearing was opened by Chairman Cone at 8:38 P.M. with the reading of the public hearing notice as published in the Leader on March 10, 1978. Wally Teich 958 Jorgenson -Expressed he would rather they did not remodel the home and he wished to purchase the property. Elden Willard, Building Official, stated the property belongs to Mrs. Gertrude Juergenson who is presently in Burns Manor. Marlow Priebe explained a Condi- tional Use Permit was needed because the house is in a commercial district and the remodeling is more than ten percent of the value of the home. Mr. Plotz, Administrative Assistant, stated the request for a conditional use permt was made by Rev. R. S. Crouse who is taking care of the house for Mrs. Juergenson. Wally Teich -Stated he owned the house next door and if he could purchase this house at 272 -4th Ave. N.W, he would probably tear them both down. Planning Commission Minutes March 21, 1978 -5- Building Official Willard, felt the house could be restored and put into living condition and their are good residential homes to the East. Therefore, he would recommend approval of the request. Mr. Priebe suggested continuing the hearing for 30 days to allow Mr. Teich to try and purchase the property and request Rev. Crouse's presence at the next regular meeting to be available to answer any questions. On motion by Bruce Peterson, seconded by Clint Tracy, it was decided to continue the public hearing until Tuesday, April 18, 1978. Motion carried unanimously. d) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR PRELIMINARY PLAT SUBMITTED BY RON FISHER At 8:46 P.M. the hearing was opened by Chairman Cone. He read the public hearing notice as published in the Leader on March 10, 1978. Mr. Plotz explained the request stating Mr. Fisher wished to plat the existing two lots into three lots. Ron Fisher -He acquired the property at the corner of Route 3 Merrill and Linden Streets. He would remove the existing warehouses, the small one in 1978, and a bidder has indicated he could move the larger one. Mr. Priebe expressed he was aware of the neighborhood's feelings towards the warehouses and he is looking for a definite time frame for removal of the buildings. There being no one else present wishing to speak, on motion by Bruce Peterson, the hearing was closed at 8:41 P.M. Paul Christen seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. After further discussion, Bruce Peterson made the motion to recommend approval of the request contingent upon removal of the small warehouse in three months and the larger one within eighteen months, along with the proper Parks and Playground Contribution. Paul Christen seconded the motion which carried unanimously. e) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR VARIANCE SUBMITTED BY CHUCK PEARSON The hearing was opened at 8:55 P.M. by Chairman Cone and he read the public hearing notice as published.

The minutes of the previous meetings were approved on motion by Ralph Westlund and seconded by Tom O'Connell, the motion carried unanimously. 3. Mr. Al Albert distributed a handout to everyone present dated April 18, 1978 regarding downtown development, their proposals for five different sites and general statements with regard to the acquisition of these properties. He referred to the letter from A & P written April 4, 1978 in which he asked to be named the developer for the Senior Citizen Highrise and that the City select a negotiating team to enter into negotiations with them for acquisition of the site. Mr. Albert pointed out their prime effort was for development of the downtown commercial area and he felt the Library Square should be the central core of the City. The major project he proposes would be to acquire the S & L Building site, plus the 22 foot building that is immediately south of it, and the Masonic Lodge Temple building east of it, developing the first floor for retail with possibly office space above that. Other suggestions made by the A & P Group included: acquisition of the Old Armory buidling for more retail space; demolish the cold storage building to construct something to improve the entrance to Hutchinson; high density housing proposed for the area east of the cold storage site; and they felt the Medical Clinic site would be ideal for multiple family housing. Mr. Albert also suggested remodeling the rear of the downtown stores for an entrance to be as attractive as the front entrance and have parking in the rear of the stores, all allowing easy access to each store. Mr. Albert reported on his last contact with National Foods in which they indicated remaining in their present location since the development of an elderly highrise could possibly be near their store. Al Albert suggested the City move as fast as possible with acquisition of the S & L site and area, and construction could possibly begin within six to eight months. At this time, Mr. Plotz informed them of an informal meeting with the Masonic Temple and owners of funeral home and the S & L building at which meeting a willingness to sell was indicated. 7 e Downtown Development Minutes April 18, 1978 -2- Mr. Plotz also reported that the City Council approved acquiring the home of Hazel Baseman located at 25 Franklin North, Hutchinson.

Mr. Plotz gave an update regarding the acquisition of property for the elderly highrise site. Tom Ruffner representing G.R. Pelton and Associates, the appraiser, went with Jean Lerberg on Thursday, April 13, 1978 to inspect all the potential sites for acquisition. Gary Plotz also referred to a letter from HUD dated April 11, 1978 which stated the City must choose a site and begin acquisition, procedures by April 30, 1978 which the City has now complies with, and HUD would like a progress report on the acquisition program by May 10, 1978. 4.

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

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

Through your participation we hope you will become conscious of the visible and invisible barriers handicapped people face in their daily living. Please take a minute to consider our community. Think of the main service buildings that everyone at sometime needs to use: the City Hall, the Library and the Post Office. Have you even thought how you would manage without them? Many handicapped people are forced to because of inaccessibility. Add schools and churches to the list. They too are ofter not accessible to handicapped people. By accessibility we mean more than being able to get in the front door. It doesn't do a person much good to get into a restaurant and then find out he or she cannot use the bathroom. During the time you are in the wheelchair I urge you to try to carry out your normal daily activities. Each time you must "cheat" hopefully you will think of the frustrations of the handicapped. The evening of Thursday, April 27th, there will be a program at the Hutchinson Area Vocational Technical Institute starting at 7:30 p.m. Our guest speaker will be Mr. Gene Loffler of Jordan, Minnesota. Mr. Loffler, who has multiple sclerosis, is a consul- tant for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, a former senator from Iowa, a member of the White House Conference on the Handicapped, as well as the Governor's Conference on the Handicapped. Mr. Loffler will speak briefly and have a slide presentation on accessibility and architectural barriers. If your schedule allows, we would like to have you attend this program and share with us the problems you encountered during the time you were in a wheel- chair. Continued Wage 2 Again, thank you for your contribution in making Handicapped Awareness Days in Hutchinson a success.

The one area of concern at the time we held the hearings was in regard to the proposed storm sewer in the Shady Ridge Road Area. Since that time it has become more apparent that this construction is necessary at this time based upon the following: 1. Presently, four new homes are under construction along Shady Ridge Road. This completes all housing along Shady Ridge Road in Clark's First Addition and McClure's First Addition. In Rolling Oak's Third Addition there are only two vacant lots along Shady Ridge Road.

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

J. Black Mayor of Hutchinson 37 Washington Avenue West Hutchinson, Minnesota 55350 Dear Mayor Black: IN REPLY REFER TO: APR 11 1918 5.6CM FOR YOUR INFORMATION M APR 1t9f18 N �P V `E N .6' Subject: On Site Monitoring Community Development Block Grant Program B -76 -DN -27-0012 On January 19, 1978, Nancy Freeman, George Mejia, Bill Middleton, Sherm Burton, and John Connors of my staff undertook an on-site monitoring visit of Hutchinson's Community Development Block Grant program in accordance with HUD's responsibilities outlined in Sec- tion 570.909 of the Regulations. Those components monitored included general progress in site acquisition for a housing project and the completed home rehabilitation program. The following represents the issues raised during the monitoring visit which will require further actions, as specified, on the part of the city. First, we wish to commend the city for excellent work in developing and administering their rehab program. Our review included a tour of houses that had been rehabilitated and we were very pleased with the results. Homer Pittman of your staff deserves special recognition for his efforts. In contrast, we are deeply concerned with the city's difficulty in selecting a site for a future housing project. We approved your Community Development program on July 1, 1976 and fully expected timely decisions to be made and letters of intent to be sent promptly. After our January visit, we sent our Chief of Real Estate Valuation, Clyde Gillespie to Hutchinson to inspect the prospective sites. He was able to determine that seven of the eleven proposed locations would not meet neighborhood standards and should be eliminated from consideration. Four sites remain potentially acceptable and the city must choose one and begin acquisition procedures by April 30. 2. This would allow ample time to begin appraisals and negotiations by July 1, 1978. If no measurable progress has been made by then, we will begin imposing sanctions that could result in cancelling the grant and revoking the Letter of Credit. Please send us a status report on any progress made in implementing your acquisition program by May 10. We must caution you that we can give no assurance of Section 8 or Low Rent Public Housing funds once a site is ready. This will require further efforts on your part. We appreciate the candor and cooperation shown by yourself, Gary Plotz, Administrative Assistant, Jean Lerberg, HRA Executive Director, and the city's staff. We believe this matter can be.resolved to everyone's satisfaction. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call your Program Representative, Nancy Freeman, at 725-4721.
