City Council meeting of June 9, 2003 Page 9 Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to lift the hiring freeze for the HFD to allow for the hiring of two or four new firefighters. All aye. Motion Carried. CITY OF HUGO MUSA LINE ADJUSTMENT The City Council directed staff and the Planning Commission to consider adjusting the MUSA line in the West Oneka Lake area located south of 1654 Street, west of Oneka Lake and east of Highway 61. On June 21, 1999, the City rezoned the subject properties from Agricultural to General Business (C-2) and Urban Residential. Both these zoning districts require the properties to be within the MUSA; however, the MUSA line was never adjusted in 1999 to include the parcels. State law requires consistency between a city's zoning map and the MUSA line. The Planning Commission reviewed this request at three separate meetings in April and May of this year and recommended approval by a unanimous vote. Staff recommended Council approve the MUSA line adjustment as outlined in the attached report from CD Director John Rask. This adjustment would bring the City's zoning map and Comprehensive Plan into conformance with state law. Granger made motion, Haas seconded, to approve the MUSA line adjustment to bring the City's zoning map and Comprehensive Plan into conformance with state law.
