Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for June 2, 2014 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />Approve Resolution Approving Speed Study on Irish Avenue <br />A resident on Irish Avenue contacted staff requesting a speed study be done on Irish Avenue <br />from CSAH 8 to 147th Street. A road project was completed in the fall of 2012 to reclaim, grade, <br />and pave the portion of Irish Avenue from CSAH 8 to the park entrance, with the remainder of <br />Irish Avenue remaining gravel. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION <br />2014-16 AUTHORIZING THE MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION <br />(MNDOT) TO COMPLETE A SPEED STUDY ON IRISH AVENUE NORTH BETWEEN <br />CSAH 8 AND 147TH STREET NORTH. <br />Approve Resolution Approving Variance for Shimota at 9824 140th Street North <br />Pat Shimota applied for a variance to construct a 1,600 square foot addition on an existing <br />accessory building for property located at 9824 140th Street North. A past variance in 2003 <br />allowed a maximum of four accessory buildings totaling 6,420 square feet on the property. The <br />proposed variance would result in four accessory buildings on the property totaling 8,020 square <br />feet. At its May 22, 2014 meeting, the Board of Zoning and Adjustments considered the request <br />and held a public hearing. The Board concluded that the variance request met the necessary <br />criteria and recommended Council approve the variance. Adoption of the Consent Agenda <br />approved RESOLUTION 2014-17 APPROVING A VARIANCE TO CONSTRUCT A 1,600 <br />SQUARE FOOT ADDITION ON AN EXISTING ACCESSORY BUILDING FOR <br />PROPERTY LOCATED 9824 140TH STREET NORTH. <br />Approve Completion of Probationary Status for Adam Sauerwein and Promotion to <br />Regular Firefighter <br />Adam Sauerwein has completed the necessary training and is in good standing with the Hugo <br />Fire Department. Adam's two year probation ends on June 18th 2014. Adoption of the Consent <br />Agenda approved removing Adam from probationary status and promoting him to the rank of <br />firefighter effective June 18, 2014. <br />Update on NRI <br />Bronk added this to the agenda at the request of residents in the County Ponds development <br />located across TH61 from the rail spur. Bronk stated that he has received several complaints on <br />the noise from the site when NRI is loading rail cars. <br />Petryk made motion, Klein seconded, to schedule a meeting for Tuesday, June 10, 2014 at 7 p.m. <br />at Hugo City Hall to discuss NRI with concerned residents. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried. <br />Neighborhood residents in attendance asked to speak, and Acting Mayor Petryk allowed public <br />comment. <br />Paul Ford, 15880 Foxhill Avenue North, stated this was the third summer they are dealing with <br />this. There was a neighborhood meeting last year and nothing has been resolved. NRI is <br />operating a business that does not comply with City ordinance. It is time to set a deadline. <br />
