MINUTES OF' THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION - JUNE 22. 1994 The Hugo Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Peltier at 7:00PM. PRESENT: Agness, Schumann, Rubenzer, Kellison, Malaski, Peltier, Carole LaBelle Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Rubenzer to approve the minutes of 5-25-94 as amended. All aye, motion passed. Sandy Malaski was sworn in as Planning Commissioner for a term to expire 12-31-96. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST - BYRON ANDERSON Byron Anderson, 15624 Jeffrey Ave., has applied for a Special Use Permit to land treat petroleum contaminated soil on his property. The property is zoned agriculture. Approximately 300 cubic yards would be transported from Lindbeck Auto in White Bear Lake and spread over 3/4 of an acre. Steve Anderson stated that there is approximately 15 gallons of petroleum in the sand to be land treated. James Joslyn, an environmentalist from the MPCA stated that there will be virtually no silting from the spread into nearby ponds. The area is surrounded by grass that would aid in filtering any runoff, which is expected to be none. The oxygen is the agent which helps to eliminate the contaminant, combined with the organisms in the clean soil. The contaminated soil will be disked within 48 hours of being spread. The soil is then disked again in the fall. It has been determined that this is the safest and most efficient way of handling contaminated soil. Motion made by Kellison, seconded by Rubenzer, to recommend approval of the Special Use Permit request of Byron Anderson to land spread approximately 300 cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil on 3/4 of an acre on his property at 15624 Jeffrey Ave. All aye, motion passed. SUBDIVISION REQUEST - D.T. PROPERIJES Richard Tschida, of D.T. Properties has requested to subdivide 8.9 acres into three lots. The property is zoned Retail Business and is located at the northeast intersection of 170th St. and Highway 61. Soil borings and perc tests have been received on all three parcels and require mound systems. Mr. Tschida did not attend the meeting. Members felt there were too many questions regarding access to the property, high water table, types of businesses proposed, and type of construction proposed to make a recommendation on this request. Motion made by Rubenzer, seconded Schumann to table the request of D.T. Properties until July 27, 1994 and the applicant can be present to address the questions stated above. All aye, motion passed.
