P.C. Minutes - May 22, 1991 Page 2 Mr. Balyeat agreed to table the issue until the following meeting hoping that a full commission would be available and a favorable response would be secured. He stated that being a redevelopment authority, they have a good grasp on what areas show signs of industrial growth, which is primarily in the Lake Elmo and Oakdale areas. Mr. Balyeat informed the commission that they do not pursue issues of this nature past the Planning Commission level if the recommendation is negative. Chairman Peltier made a motion to table this request until the meeting of June 26, 1991. Second by Barnes. All aye, motion passed. SPECIAL USE PERMIT (TOM BROWN) Commissioner Oswald reviewed this request with the Planning Commission. Mr. Oswald stated that Mr. Thomas R. Brown of 16614 Fenway Ave. North, has made application to the City of Hugo for a Special Use Permit to construct a 5,670 sq. ft. accessory building in an Agricultural zoning district. The maximum square footage permitted by ordinance in 3,600 sq. ft. The site in question consists of 10 acres and is located on Fenway Ave. north of 165th St. The property is generally described as Part of the southeast 114 of the northeast 1/4 of Section 27, T31N, R21W, Tax parcel 93007-2500. The 54' X 105' structure in question would be located 200' from Fenway Ave. and 50' from the north property line. Mr. Brown has stated that he would like to put up a pole barn for his personal use that would accommodate the storage of cars, snowmobiles, trailers, an old tractor and combines. He has also indicated that he might store livestock in the building in the future. He stated that the old horse barn and metal shed on the property will be removed prior to erection of the new building. The new building will not be used for any type of commercial purpose now or in the future. If the Planning Commission feels this request is appropriate for the area and the size of the building does not exceed reasonable standards for an agricultural district, we would recommend that the action for approval be subject to special conditions. Commissioners didn't have any objections to the construction of the accessory building proposed. Commissioner Oswald stated there was no difference between a 5,000 sq. ft. house or 5,000 sq. ft. accessory building.
