Resolution 2001- 26 <br />Page 2 <br />WHEREAS, the Board of Appeals and Adjustments further recommends that the <br />Administrative Order be rescinded. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF <br />THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does find that, based upon the <br />record before it at this time, and based upon the evidence and testimony available to date, there is <br />no evidence before the Council that the slaughtering activities began or were expanded, enlarged <br />or changed after the date of any ordinances which would prohibit or limit that activity. Further, it <br />appears that there is no evidence which would establish the existence or terms of any zoning <br />ordinances governing the property in the late 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, when the use is <br />claimed to have existed. Therefore, the Council hereby orders that the Administrative Order <br />requiring Mr. Goiffon to cease operation of the slaughterhouse be rescinded based upon the <br />following: <br />1. The applicant states that he and his family have conducted slaughtering activities <br />on the property since prior to 1962. <br />2. The property is currently used by Mr. Goiffon for his primary residence and <br />agricultural operations. Additionally, Mr. Goiffon currently leases the slaughtering facility to <br />Meng Yang and Nhia Yang. The improvements and land which serve the slaughtering activities <br />are as follows: a slaughtering pole barn, a finishing shed and hog holding pens. <br />3. Aerial photographs from 1969 and 1991 show the agricultural buildings located <br />on the property, including the building used for the slaughtering operation. <br />4. In 1971, the Village of Hugo merged with Oneka Township and became the <br />Village of Hugo. <br />5. In 1975, the Village of Hugo adopted a new zoning ordinance. Prior to 1975, it <br />appears that the Village of Hugo used the old Oneka Township zoning ordinance. City staff was <br />unable to locate the former Township ordinance. In addition to checking City records, staff <br />contacted Marvin LaValle who was on the Village Council at the time the village merged with <br />the township. Mr. LaValle checked his personal records and was unable to locate a copy of the <br />ordinance. However, Mr. LaValle stated that he believed that the ordinance did not specifically <br />address slaughterhouse operations. Staff also asked former Mayor Walter Stoltzman if he had a <br />copy of the previous township ordinances. Mr. Stoltzman responded that he did not have a copy <br />of the ordinance. Mr. Stoltzman indicated that the township may have never officially adopted a <br />zoning ordinance. Lastly, City staff contacted Washington County to inquire whether or not the <br />County had copies of any previous township or City ordinances. The County responded that they <br />did not have any township or city ordinances. <br />6. At this time, the City Council has no record of Ordinances pre -dating 1975 which <br />would prohibit or limit the slaughtering activities on the parcel. <br />
