P.C. Minutes - 5-22-96 Page 2 Surrounding residents opposed the rezoning and any increase in the commercial use of the property. It was also noted that the property is being purchased on contract for deed and the fee owner has not signed the application. One resident felt the rezoning was inappropriate but the SUP should be more lenient so as to allow winter use. Commissioners concurred that this would be considered a spot zoning and access to the lake is difficult. The number of variances required to bring the site into conformance with the CB district is excessive. Motion made by Schumann, seconded by Agness to recommend denial of the Rezoning request for 4444 129th St. North as it constitutes a spot zoning and is not in the health, safety, and welfare interests of the community to rezone this property to commercial use. All aye, motion passed. The City of Hugo is requesting to rezone one acre of a 42.43 acre parcel from SFU to CB adjacent to Highway 61, at the north end of Flay Ave. to allow for the construction of a post office. Administrator Museus stated that there is potential for Flay Avenue to become a through street, but at this time it is proposed to remain a cul-de-sac with no through traffic. Also, there could be ponding or a large wetland on the property. It was noted that the catholic church has expressed an interest in expanding their cemetery in this area, or the property would be used for public purpose. Bernie Brunotte stated that he felt this it would be inappropriate for the post office to be located in a residential area. Commissioner Agness questioned why there was such urgency in moving forward with this request, in 30 to 60 days, considering it has been an ongoing issue for two years. Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Rubenzer to recommend approval of the City's request to subdivide one acre from a 42.43 acre parcel subject to it being served by a cul-de-sac. AYE: Kellison, Rubenzer, Schumann, Peltier NAY: Agness, Waller Motion passed. Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Rubenzer to recommend approval of the rezoning of one acre from SFU to Concentrated Business as described in the survey dated 5-16-96. AYE: Kellison, Rubenzer, Schumann, Peltier NAY: Agness, Waller Motion passed.
