Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for January 21, 2014 Page 3 of 3 Council Member Petryk said that when dealing with this type of density, the City needs to be aware of transportation issues, and it should be served with two roads. She also talked about the lack of parking and the lack of kitchens in the units. Gori Viren, from Gori and Associates Architecture, said he felt there would be no shortage of parking; many of the residents were discouraged from driving, and Mayor Weidt agreed there was probably enough. Gori explained the different types of units. He also stated they planned on using a lot of cement board, and he explained that the newer vinyl siding was better quality. Weidt asked for comments from the audience, but there were none. Mayor Weidt was comfortable with the parking. He also wanted to see Finale Avenue connect to CSAH 8, and he thought 147th Street could be addressed in the second phase. He agreed with Council Member Haas that some consideration should be given for moving Finale around the park. City Administrator Bryan Bear said the two adjacent properties may be able to work together to put the road through, and staff will work with them. Lentsch was not confident it would happen. Petryk made motion, Weidt seconded, to table for two weeks to allow time to include language in the agreement for the storm water reuse commitment, increase the parking for the apartment building, provide an area for on-site management as part of the apartment development, use hardy board and no vinyl, include specifics for minimum of stone and brick coverage, provide minimum of two bedrooms in the apartments, break up the design of the larger building, and work on the road issue. Ayes: Bronk, Petryk, Klein, Weidt Nays: None Motion carried. Adiournment Bronk made motion, Klein seconded, to adjourn at 8:56 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Michele Lindau City Clerk
