SPECIAL USE -PERMIT - WEGLEITNER/�%'.ENCO CONSTRUCTION Administrator Huber reviewed this request with the Planning Commission. Mr. Huber stated that on behalf of Martin and Sandra Wegleitner, Kenco Construction Co., has made application to the City of Hugo for a Special Use Permit to allow a Planned Unit Development and variance to develop a 60.27 acre tract of land into single family and two family residential lots. The property in question is currently zoned SFE and is located east of Geneva Ave. and north and south of 145th St. The total number of lots proposed in this development is 115. It would appear that the developers are approaching their proposal from a density standpoint taking into account the Council's previous concerns regarding the number of dwelling units that would be allowed if the property were rezoned to SFU. In the fall of 1990 the applicant applied for the rezoning of the property in question from SFE to SFU. The Planning Commission reviewed this request and made a recommendation for approval. The rezoning request was subsequently denied by the City Council, citing density as one of their major concerns. It would appear that a density approach being used is predicated on the position that duplexes are allowed in SFE zoning district by Special Use Permit and that if density is a real concern to the City, two dwelling units per acre should be an acceptable proposal. The city engineer has reviewed this proposal. If this proposal receives a favorable response from the Planning Commission and City Council, and moves forward, the developers are required to prepare the necessary documents for the formal platting of this site. If the Planning Commission feels that this development is consistent with the comprehensive plan and other land use adjacent to this site, we would suggest that any recommendation for approval be subject to special conditions.
