All Ayes. Motion carried. Hugo Bald Eagle Industrial Park 5th Addition The Commission held a public hearing to consider the request of the City of Hugo for a preliminary plat for Bald Eagle Industrial Park 5th Addition consisting of six industrial lots located north of 130th Street and east of Fenway Boulevard. The subject property is approximately 13 aces in size and is currently vacant. At their meeting in April 2002, the Planning Commission discussed the lack of developable land available within the City for industrial use and talked about the possibility of subdividing the City owned property to make it more marketable. The Community Development Director explained that the proposed lots would receive access from a new cul-de-sac that would be extended into the site and the lots would meet all size and setback requirements. He also referred to several potential occupants who have approached him looking for industrial sites. Schumann opened the public hearing. Jim Kellison, 4394 129th Street North, said he attended this meeting to represent two potential tenants. Kellison is the president of Kelco Real Estate Development Services. Kellison said he felt the City needed to bring in more industrial developments with higher tax base. He also said that this would create jobs and employees, who would in turn spend money in the community. There were no other comments, and Schumann closed the public hearing.
