A permit from Rice Creek Watershed District. 2. Approval of the septic site location for tract B by Washington County. 3. Payment of the $500.00 parkland dedication fee. All aye, motion passed. TOMNITZ SPECIAL USE PERMIl The Tomnitz, 7180 177th St., Hugo, has reouested a special use permit to construct a detached accessory building of 2,240 sq. ft. at the above address. This building would require a variance to Hugo City Code 320-5, Subd. H (4), which states that no detached garage or other accessory building shall be located nearer the lot line than the principal building. The zoning ordinance currently allows 3600 sq. ft. of accessory storage and 1,000 sq. ft. of garage space in the agricultural district. The Tomnitz's currently have a total of 2,260 sq. ft. of garage and accessory buildings on site. The proposed building, when added to the existing buildings, is still under the combined square footage allowed. Tomnitz's plan to use the building for storage of electrical equipment and supplies used as part of an electrical contracting business. The proposed building lies within the shoreland district which requires a 200 ft. setback from ordinary high water level for all residential structures, of- in rin the case of commercial buildings, 400'. The OHM for Horseshoe Lake is not clearly indicated on the site plan provided by the applicant. Though it would appear that the pole structure meets the setback requirement for residential buildings, it is unclear whether the building would meet the setback for commercial buildings.
