f Ir RESOLUTION 1985-21 A RESOLUTION ADDRESSING A PROPOSED REZONING OF PROPERTY IN WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP LYING AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HIGHWAY 61 AND 120TH STREET ((-XXWY ROAD J). TO THE TOWN BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP, MINNESOTA: BE IT RESOLVED, By the City Council of the City of Hugo, Minnesota, the following: WHEREAS, It is not our intention to try and influence the decisions of any Governing Body outside our jurisdiction, we as the City Council of Hugo, Minnesota, have felt it desirable to make you aware of our positions regarding Ramsey County Road J/120th Street North, in the pending "Leibel Addition" rezoning now before the White Bear Township Board of Supervisors, and WHEREAS, There are very few Hugo residents living along Ramsey County Road J/120th Street North, and the road is in terrible condition, and WHEREAS, We have outlined in letters to and from White Bear Township, the City of Hugo feels it would not be interested in participating in any large-scale renovation of the road or are we prepared to spend any large amount of General Funds to repair a road that would benefit a relatively small number of Hugo residents, now would we be willing to consider any proposal resulting in assessment of such a few hems on or close to that road. The assessments would be just too large, and WHEREAS, Because of the foregoing, Hugo intends to enforce its 5 ton per axle weight road limit on 120th Street. Hugo has also been considering the designation of 120th Street as a "minimum maintenance roadway" as defined by Minnesota State Statute 160.095 with gravel surface rather than con- stantly spending money on asphalt patchwork, and WHEREAS, Because of the foregoing, the City of Hugo is opposed to the rezoning of the Leibel Addition as I-1 property. We do not oppose light manufacturing, offices, or research laboratories as a principal use of that property. However, if you rezone to that classification, you are also opening up the possibility of warehousing and truck terminals as a principal use that we feel would be too heavy for 120th Street/Ramsey County Road J, considering the present condition of the road, and WHEREAS, We are concerned that in Hugo the adjacent properties are all agriculture or residential zones that would suddenly be situated immediately adjacent to an industrial zone even though in a different township, and WHEREAS, In summary, we would like these concerns entered into the record. We in Hugo are not opposed to development nor are we in any way attempting to infringe upon White Bear Township's own autonomy in these matters. However, we did want to express our concern over the condition of a county road and Hugo city street that form our cocrmon border. If any rezoning and (cont.)
