PRELIMINARY PLAT AMENDMENT Commissioner Dan Davis reviewed this request with the Planning Commission. Mr. Davis stated that Mr. James Merila, 8401 73rd Ave. North, #63, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, has made application to the City of Hugo for a preliminary plat amendment of the plat formally known as Hugo Meadows South. The property in question is described as Outlot A, Birch Tree Ponds 2nd Addition, Washington County, Minnesota. The property is zoned SFU and contains approximately 25.3 acres, of which a portion is DNR Protected Wetlands #82-260W. The preliminary plat in question is considered minor in nature and will affect phases 3 and 4 of the original preliminary plat approved by the City. It is the developers intent to make the following changes: 1. A change in pond depth and location. 2. Changes in cul-de-sac locations. 3. Addition of 4 residential lots. 4. Grading changes on site. The grading changes, utility locations, and hydrology changes are currently being reviewed by the City Engineer. Mr. Kuusisto's report was available for Planning Commission review. Mr. John Johnson represented Merila and Assoc. to address questions the Planning Commission had regarding the proposed changes. Area residents had some concerns regarding the ditches and how they will be maintained in the future and any groundwater flowage to the south of the subdivision. Mr. Johnson assured the Planning Commission that Merila and Assoc. is willing to share in the cost of ditch maintenance when the need arises, to an approximate cost of $2,000. Mr. Johnson stated that there would be no transfer of groundwater from the subdivision to the property to the south nor would any transverse action occur.
