City Council meeting of April 15, 2002 Page 4 AUTHORIZE ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR WELL NO.4 In the fall of 2001, the Council directed staff to prepare plans and specifications for the construction of well No. 4. City Engineer Dave Mitchell and SEH engineers completed the plans and specs and requested authorization from Council to advertise for bids. Adoption of the Consent Agenda authorized the City Engineer to advertise for bids for the construction of well No. 4 on the public property located immediately north of Flay Avenue and immediately south of the Hugo Post Office. APPROVE THREE ADDITIONAL MODEL HOMES (HIDDEN HILLS SUBD) On December 3, 2001, the City Council approved the final plat and development agreement for Hidden Hills Preserve. Hidden Hills Preserve is a 12 -unit cluster development located east of Goodview and south of 130"' Street. The development agreement for Hidden Hills Preserve allows one model home prior to substantially completing the public improvements. The public improvements for this development consist of the road and storm water drainage system, and do not include municipal sewer or water. The City has historically allowed more than one model home within new developments. At the time the development agreement was approved, the applicant had not identified builders for the project. As such, they were not concerned about the number of model homes. The applicant now has identified three builders that plan to construct homes in the development. The purpose of limiting the number of permits prior to completing the public improvements is to insure that the necessary infrastructure is in place prior to people occupying homes. This is necessary for public health and safety reasons. Further, limiting the number of permits provides an incentive for the developer to :,)mplete the improvements in a timely fashion. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the issuance of three model home permits for Hidden Hills Preserve with the condition that the applicant construct the road base prior to the issuance of permits. This condition is necessary to insure emergency vehicle access to the development. APPROVAL OF VARIANCE REQUEST (RICHARD CHAREST) Richard Charest, 12770 Homestead Drive, requested approval to construct a 2,081 square foot attached garage. The proposed garage would consist of a 1,276 square foot garage on the first level and a 805 foot garage on the lower level. A driveway would wrap around the north end of the home to provide access to the lower level garage. In addition to the variance for the garage space, the applicant is requesting variances from the side lot line setbacks. The home would be 36 feet from the north lot line and 36 feet from the south lot line. The ordinance requires a 40 -foot setback from the side lot lines. As such, the applicant is requesting a four -foot variance from both lot lines. Adoption of the Consent Agenda adopted Resolution 2002-14 approving variances for Richard Charest, 12770 Homestead Drive. APPROVE RESOLUTION RELATING TO ADMINISTRATION OF JD2 City Attorney Dave Snyder was directed by Council to draft a resolution relating to the administration of JD2. Dave prepared a revised draft of the resolution, which has been reviewed by Council members Frank Puleo and Mike Granger, who served on the JD2 Blue Ribbon Task Force. Although the City of Hugo terminated its involvement in the JD2 lawsuit, it will continue to work with all governmental and regulatory agencies pursuing a resolution to all matters affecting JD2. Council member Haas requested clarification of certain conditions of the proposed resolution.
