Planning & Zoning Board <br />October 13, 2021 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />not been planned as it depends on traffic volumes and future development phasing in <br />the City of Hugo. <br /> <br />Mr. Evenson made a MOTION to recommend approval of the preliminary plat and <br />site plan review for Belland Farms and Associate Eye Care Partners subject to <br />conditions listed in the staff report. Motion was supported by Mr. Vojtech. Motion <br />carried 5 – 0. Vice-Chair Root abstained. <br /> <br />VII. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Zoning Ordinance Update – Zoning Districts, Kendra Lindahl, Landform <br /> <br />Ms. Kendra Lindahl, Landform, presented a summary of changes to the Zoning <br />Districts section of the Zoning Ordinance. She requested feedback from the Planning <br />& Zoning Board on impervious surface coverage in Residential Districts and house <br />footprint minimums. <br /> <br />Board Comments <br /> <br />Vice-Chair Root asked Ms. Lindahl when the Board would see the general provisions <br />section again since several items have been moved to that section of the zoning <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Ms. Lindahl stated a comprehensive, full copy of the zoning ordinance will be <br />presented to the Board in December. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert asked Ms. Lindahl or staff to define bicycle racing in regards to Rehbein <br />Arena. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen stated bicycle racing at the Rehbein Arena was specific to individual <br />pedal bikes and not motorized bikes. She explained several years ago, Rehbein Arena <br />had been operating without a conditional use permit so the City created a provision in <br />the ordinance thereby granting them a conditional use permit which allowed them to <br />continue operating within the City. She reiterated the provision in the ordinance <br />concerning bicycle racing was specific to the Rehbein Arena. <br /> <br />Mr. Reinert wondered why the City has an issue with this particular use and why staff <br />would like to remove it from the zoning ordinance. <br /> <br />Ms. Larsen clarified the City does not have an issue with bicycle racing as a use. <br />Rather, she explained the City does not see the value in retaining a provision in the <br />ordinance that is specific to only one site in the City. She commented the provision <br />does not benefit the entire City. Moreover, bicycle racing at Rehbein Arena has <br />ceased for several years. <br />
