The regular meeting of the Hugo Planning Commission was called to order at 7:04PM. PRESENT: Mezzano, Davis, Thoreson, Oswald, Peltier, Carole LaBelle ABSENT: Henry Motion made by Thoreson, seconded by Mezzano to approve the Minutes of September 25, 1991, as amended. All aye, motion passed. Mr. Papenheim has requested that this issue be tabled until the November 26, 1991 meeting. Mr' Doug Kruse requested that his application be addressed first and Mr. Louis Rosse (applicant originally scheduled first) agreed to the change. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REQUEST - D. K -- Commissioner Oswald reviewed this request with the Planning Commission. He stated that Doug and Judith Kruse of 12616 Ingersoll Ave., have made application to the City of Hugo for the construction of a 26' X 36' pole barn on their property identified as follows: The north 219' of the south 667' of the west 486.16' of Government Lot 5, Section 35, T31N, R21W, Washington Co., Minnesota. The property consists of approximately 2.5 acres and is zoned RR2. The site is located east of Ingersoll Ave. near Sunset Lake. The applicants currently reside in the home located on the west side of Ingersoll Ave. adjacent to the site in question. Said site currently accommodates a 26' X 38' building for accessory storage. Chapter 320-4, Sub. F, limits the amount of accessory storage to 1800 sq' ft. in this zoning district and the proposed building would increase the amount of accessory storage to 1,924 sq. ft. In the 1970's the City of Hugo issued a special use permit allowing the construction of an accessory building on the lot in question to serve the principal residence. In the early 1980's the City authorized the installation of a septic system on the lot in question to serve the residence identified as 12616 Ingersoll Ave. No. It would appear that over the years the City has treated the two lots in question as a single lot for the purpose of providing accessory building and services to the residence on Sunset Lake. While the property is identified as separate tax parcels, it would appear that the City has treated them as a single parcel for development purposes. If the Planning Commission moves to approve this request, we would recommend that it be made clear that the two tax parcels are being treated as a single tract of land for development purposes. The Commission could also recommend that the two parcels be combined as a single parcel if permitted by the Washington County Auditor's Office. Mr' Kruse stated that his tax records indicate the property is one parcel. He intends to store an old boat, cars, and other personal items in the proposed structure. Commissioner Oswald stated that they would have to deviate from the rules to be consistent on the Kruse and Rosse requests by allowing accessory buildings prior to construction of residences.
