Planning Commission Meeting June 27, 2001- page 2 Jerry Hauble, 5460 125`h Street, asked how it affects vacant property. The Community Development Director said the proposed ordinance maintained the minimum lot sizes of 10, 400 square feet, while also establishing some larger lot size districts to preserve some of the existing larger lot subdivisions. Schumann closed the public hearing. Malaski made motion, Kleissler seconded, to table action until the July 25, 2001 Planning Commission meeting. All Ayes. Motion carried. City Hall -Redevelopment Plan Planning Commission considered whether the proposed Redevelopment Plan for the city hall project was consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the City's Redevelopment Strategy for Downtown Hugo. The redevelopment area would include the property south of 147`h Street, west of Highway 61, east of Fitzgerald, and north of 146`h Street. The City's Economic Development Authority (EDA) proposes to establish a Redevelopment Project Area in connection with construction of a new city hall. The City of Hugo would lease the city hall from the EDA with an option to purchase. The EDA would sell revenue bonds to finance the redevelopment project costs. The revenue bonds will be secured by the payments to be made by the City under the lease with an option to purchase agreement. In the remainder of the Redevelopment Area, the EDA proposed to facilitate, as appropriate, private development by acquiring land and preparing it for private development and by constructing public infrastructure improvements. It was noted that establishment of the Redevelopment Area would not commit the EDA to future redevelopment efforts, including acquiring land or naking infrastructure improvements. Also noted was that establishing the Redevelopment Area would not make it any easier for the City to acquire land through eminent domain. Rooney made motion, Malaski seconded, to recommend approval of the resolution with the finding that the proposed Redevelopment Plan is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan. Ayes: Malaski, Rooney, Schumann Abstain: Kleissler (Kleissler did not received the background material on the Redevelopment Plan in time to review it.) Motion carried. CUP for Trailer Sales - Lutz & Loken On May 23, 2001, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and tabled action on the request of Glenn Lutz, 5317 Eagle Street, White Bear Lake, for a conditional use permit to allow the retail sale of trailers on property located at 5795-165`h Street. The Planning Commission had directed staff to inspect the building for building code compliance. On June 15`h, the City's Building Official inspected the subject building, and recommended that the exposed sheathing be replaced prior to siding the building. The Building Official also said the applicant would need to apply for a building permit for interior improvements at which time the City would review the plans and building for compliance with applicable building codes. )wner of the property, Larry Loken, 1017-36`h Avenue NE, Minneapolis, was at the meeting and said he would replace the deteriorated wood on the building and fix the siding.
