Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for July 5, 2011 Page 3 of 6 satisfactorily complete. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Special Event Permit for St. John's the Baptist Catholic Church for their Country/Community Picnic to be held on Sunday, August 7, 2011. Approve Variance from Parking Regulation for Thomas Houck at 5525 141" St. North At its June 23, 2011 meeting, the Board of Zoning held a public hearing to consider the variance request from the parking regulations to have less parking stalls than what is required by ordinance for a commercial/retail use. The area in question is located at 5525 141St Street North along the east side of Highway 61. The previous use on the property was a daycare center. The zoning code does not list a required number of parking spaces for daycare centers. The applicant is now proposing the conversion of this building to a retail use, and since parking requirements for retail uses are specifically listed under the code, the applicant must meet the requirement or obtain a variance before the use can be allowed. There was no one that spoke during the public hearing except the applicant. The Board unanimously recommended adoption of the resolution for approval of the variance request. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved RESOLUTION 2011 -16 APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR THOMAS HOUCK IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS ZONING DISTRICT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5525 141St STREET NORTH ALLOWING 18 PARKING SPACES FOR A RETAIL USE WHERE 32 SPACES ARE REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE. Approve Authorization to Prepare an Ordinance Regulating Guesthouses/Mother-in-Law Apartments for Consideration by the Planning Commission Residents have made requests to construct a guesthouse or mother-in-law apartment detached from their home. Most of the requests are for living space above a detached accessory building. The City Code does not allow a property to have more than one dwelling unit; therefore, detached guesthouses or mother-in-law apartments are also not allowed. The City Code does allow accessory apartments attached to the home. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved authorization to research what other cities require for guesthouses/mother-in-law apartments, and prepare an ordinance for consideration by the Planning Commission. Approve Authorization to Prepare Revisions to the Variance Ordinance to be Considered by the Planning Commission Recently, there have been revisions to MN State Statutes regarding the approval criteria for variance requests. In order to be consistent with the statute, there are revisions that will need to be made to the City's variance ordinance. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved authorization to prepare the revisions to the variance ordinance to be considered by the Planning Commission.

The City of Hugo has received Pay Request No. 1 from Northdale Construction for work completed to date on the South Ethan Avenue Street Reconstruction Project. Senior Engineering Technician Steve Duff and City Engineer Jay Kennedy have reviewed the pay request and found it to be satisfactory for work completed to date on the project.
