Ayes: Kellison, Rubenzer, Peltier Abstain: Schumann, Kleissler Motion carried Special Use Permit - Triemert Arnie Triemert, 15220 Everton Avenue N., had requested a special use permit to construct a 30' X 48' pole building in addition to an existing 30' X 96' pole building on his property at the above address, resulting in 4,320 square feet of accessory storage where 3,600 square feet is allowed by ordinance. The property consists of 9.85 acres in the City's agricultural zoning district. Hugo City Code, Chapter 320-4, Subd. C(3), permits a special use permit be issued to allow accessory storage in excess of 3,600 square feet for parcels of less than 20 acres in the City's agricultural zoning district. Peltier read the public notice as published in the White Bear Press and opened the meeting for public comment but there was none. Triemert explained his intentions to use the building for personal storage. Schumann asked Triemert the approximate size of the home garage and Triemert guessed it to be 24' X 32'. Schumann felt, being it was less than the allowed 1,000 square feet allowed for a home garage, the additional 720 square feet Triemert was requesting for the pole building would be acceptable. Rubenzer felt the additional amount requested was not excessive. Kellison did not feel there was a hardship shown to justify granting the additional storage. Kellison made motion to recommend denial of the special use permit. The motion died for lack of a second. Peltier made motion, Rubenzer seconded, to recommend approval of the special use permit to allow storage in excess of 3,600 square feet, giving Triemert an additional 720 square feet of storage. Ayes: Schumann, Kleissler, Rubenzer Nay: Kellison Abstain: Puleo Motion carried
