Planning Commission Minutes — May 11, 2006 <br />Page 3 <br />urban areas of the City. <br />Staff used the proposed Del Webb site, which bordered rural and urban areas, to illustrate possible <br />scenarios. The CDD explained that it could be done based on the MUSA but noted the MUSA line could <br />be eliminated at some point. There were also some large lots and Agriculture and Future Urban Service <br />zoned property within the MUSA district. Notification areas could also be based on zoning or based on <br />the zoning of adjacent parcels. <br />Bailly suggested that notification areas could be based on the size of a project. <br />Weidt suggested advertising to let the public know they can be put on an email distribution list to receive <br />the Planning Commission agendas. He also suggested notification areas be done according to what the <br />majority of the surrounding land use was. <br />Schumann opened the public hearing. There were no comments and Schumann closed the public <br />hearing. <br />Schumann said that most of the complaints were that people did not receive their notices, not that they <br />were outside the range. He was comfortable with the 350 feet range but felt the developer should be <br />responsible for mailing notices by certified mail. Staff could provide mailing addresses. The more <br />complicated the notice requirements are, the more likely mistakes will be made. <br />Rosenquist asked if state law required the cities to mail out notices, and the CDD said he was not aware <br />of any statues on it. Rosenquist also wondered if unique applications could trigger a larger notification <br />area. There was the question of who would make that determination. <br />Schumann suggested publishing notices twice in the paper and having the City send out certified letters <br />and charge the applicant, or sending out two letters with the second one being sent ten days prior to the <br />meeting by certified mail. <br />Rosenquist liked the idea of sending letters by certified mail and asked staff to look into it. <br />Weidt commented that no matter where the boundaries were set, there would always be someone who <br />felt they should have been notified. <br />Rosenquist made motion, Bailly seconded, to table the item. <br />All Ayes. Motion carried <br />Amendment to Hugo City Code, Chapter 320 Reducing Side Yard Setbacks in Industrial Districts <br />The Commission held a public hearing to consider decreasing the side yard setback from 40 feet to 10 <br />feet from other zoned industrial properties in the industrial zoning districts. <br />The CD Intern explained the side yard setback from interior lot lines in the Industrial Zoning Districts <br />was increased from 10 feet to 40 feet in 1999 as part of a comprehensive update to the Zoning <br />Ordinance. Occupants in the industrial districts have found the 40 foot setback limits the size of <br />buildings permitted on lots within the district and provides excessive space between buildings on <br />properties with compatible uses. Additionally, at the time the Bald Eagle Industrial Park was developed, <br />
