City Council Meeting of May 5, 2008 Page 9 of 10 Gene Zerwas, 6732 Egg Lake Road, said just because the pipe is oversized, it doesn't mean development has to occur. The infrastructure should be done now while it is cheaper. Kathy Scobie, 7676 120th Street North, said the main goal of Hugo citizens seemed to be to preserve open space, and the Met Council will not favor open space if sewer and water are available. Victoria Hoffbeck, 8110 1201h Street North, said we should be telling the Met Council we do not want growth like Woodbury, and cluster housing does not preserve land. Jerome Jessen, 7475 132nd Street North, said Hugo needed to keep its sewage here, not run it down a pipe to the river. Puleo made motion, Granger seconded, to add language to the Comprehensive Plan to allow for one home per five acres with a PUD. All aye. Motion carried. Miron made motion, Puleo seconded, to incorporate the City's current assessment policy in the Growth Management Section of the Plan. All aye. Motion carried.

This 360 -acre property is owned and managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. All aye. Motion carried. Alice Waller, 14189 Finley Avenue North, presented more signatures on a previously submitted petition requesting removal of the section of the Comprehensive Plan that refers to the Paul Hugo Farms WMA. Haas made motion, Puleo seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2008-18 APPROVING A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE FOR THE CITY OF HUGO, with the changes made in the previous motions, and to forward it appropriately. All aye. Motion carried. Discussion on Petitions Received for No Hunting in Paul Hugo Farms WMA and Petitions to Allow Hunting in WMA Over the past several months, City staff has received petitions from residents in regard to public hunting in the Paul Hugo Farms Wildlife Management Area. As Council is aware, current City Code allows for public hunting in the City of Hugo. One petition received by the City of Hugo requests that no public hunting be allowed on public lands in the City of Hugo. Another petition received by City staff that requests Council does not change current City Code which allows for public hunting in the City specifically the Paul Hugo Farms WMA.
