Planning Commission Meeting October 23, 2003 - page 3 Chairman Schumann opened the public hearing. Ali Giarushi, 6720 132nd Street, asked what type of septic system would be permitted. Schumann explained that 1,000 feet of force main was necessary to pump from the home to the system, and a design would need to be provided to the City to show how it would be done. Rosenquist made motion, Malaski seconded, to recommend approval of the minor subdivision, emphasizing the requirement that the septic design be provided to the City prior to recording. All Ayes. Motion carried. American Tower CUP for Monopole and Equipment Cabinets The Commission had scheduled a public hearing to consider the request of American Tower, 11600 96th Avenue North, Maple Grove, for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 190 -foot high monopole on the Brandt property located at 15380 Keystone Avenue North. On October 23, 2003, the City received a letter from American Tower withdrawing their application. McRoberts made motion, Malaski seconded, to accept the withdrawal of the application. All Ayes. Motion carried. Comforts of Home The Commission had scheduled a public hearing to consider the request of the City of Hugo and Comforts of Home, 3252 Rice Street, St. Paul, for a preliminary plat, variances, and conditional use permit for a 24 -bed senior assisted housing project on property located west of Highway 61 and south of 150th Street (south of the post office). The property is zoned CR -3, Central Residential. Staff had recommended that the Planning Commission table action on the request. The Community Development Director explained that Comforts of Home was working out some issues with regard to the plat and the sale of the property. Because this public hearing was noticed, staff recommended that the Planning Commission open the public hearing, take public comments and then continue this item to the next Commission meeting. Jim Faulkner, Faulkner Construction, introduced Brian Winges and Bill Bisek. They provided a brief presentation on the project. The building, as proposed, would be over 14,000 square feet with three outdoor patio areas. Floor plans and elevations were shown to the Commission.
