DISCUSSION ON FINAL PLAT FOR SUNSET SHORES AND REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION In 2007, the Hugo City Council accepted a request from David Wlaschin and the Wlaschin family for an extension for the filing of the final plat for the Sunset Shores development, which included the development of 39 homes on 143 acres on which 85 acres would be preserved as open space with the use of a conservation easement. Since that time, Dave Wlaschin and his family members determined they needed an extension on the project due to the downturn in the housing market. Specifically, the Wlaschin family requested a two-year extension and an optional six-month extension if necessary from the City of Hugo for the filing of the final plat for the Sunset Shores residential development. Victoria Hoffbeck, 8110 120th Street North, opposed to the extension saying it would be a discriminatory action by the Council. Kathy Scobie (Wlaschin), 7676 120th Street, who is a member of the Wlaschin family, explained the need for the extension and asked the Council to consider a 2 %z -year extension with the understanding the family could request an additional extension at any time prior to the expiration date. Petryk made motion, Puleo seconded, to approve the request for a 2 t/2 -year extension to August 17, 2010, for the filing of the Sunset Shores residential development plat. All aye.
