Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for June 4, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />Approve Special Event Permit for Manke at 13514 Goodview Avenue North <br />Karen Manke has applied for a Special Event Permit for a 30th wedding anniversary party to be <br />held at her parent's home at 13514 Goodview Avenue North on Saturday, June 23, 2012. This <br />event requires a Special Event Permit because there will be amplified music. Staff believes this <br />event is well organized and will not have a negative effect on the health, safety, and welfare of <br />the community. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Special Event Permit for the <br />Mankes to hold a 30t wedding anniversary party at 13514 Goodview Avenue North to include <br />amplified music. <br />Approve Site Plan for Xcel Energy Training Barn at 13620 Fenway Boulevard North <br />At its April 2, 2012 meeting, the City Council approved a site plan for a 20,900 square foot <br />electric and gas training center. During the approval process, staff stated there was potential for <br />future phases and that all phases would be subject to the Planning Commission and City Council <br />review and approval. The applicant showed the future phase being attached to the training center, <br />but has now decided that the training barn functions better for them as a separate building. The <br />Planning Commission considered this request at their May 24, 2012 meeting and unanimously <br />recommended approval. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2012-11 <br />APPROVING A SITE PLAN FOR XCEL ENERGY INC. FOR A TRAINING BARN ON THE <br />PROPERTY LOCATED AT 13620 FENWAY BOULEVARD NORTH. <br />Approve Resolution Establishing Letter of Credit Policy <br />The Finance Department reports it currently holds only three (3) letters of credit, the lowest <br />numbers since before the start of the recession. As such, the Finance Director has prepared a <br />policy resolution that establishes minimum requirements for all future letters of credit. Adoption <br />of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2012-12 ESTABLISHING <br />REQUIREMENTS FOR LETTERS OF CREDIT. <br />Update on National Recycling, Inc. <br />Staff invited representatives from National Recycling, Inc. (NRI) to provide an update to the City <br />Council concerning redevelopment of the site. While significant progress has been made in this <br />regard, piles of scrap remain on the site, and the property owner has fallen behind the timelines <br />established in the approved "transition plan" for the nonconforming use. City staff and council <br />members continue to receive calls concerning the appearance of the site. Owner Rick Mark and <br />Attorney David Schoenecker were in attendance to provide an update to the Council. <br />Attorney Schoenecker stated they were doing what they could to sell and move the steel but the <br />location to where they ship to is getting backed up, and they are not able to move as many loads <br />as they would like. He acknowledged the pile of steel and stated they did not want the pile there <br />either. Commercial trucks are now going to their Cambridge site. Their intention was to make <br />Hugo a retail site only but there have been slight adjustments to the plan. They recently received <br />their access permit from MnDOT and, Schoenecker stated the issues they were having with the <br />architect have been resolved. <br />Owner Rick Mark said to make this change successfully it needed to be done in stages, and he <br />needed to maintain the cash flow from the Hugo Site.
