P.C. Minutes - March 28, 1990 Page 2 Minor Subdivision - Paul Rice Administrator Huber reviewed this application with the Planning Commission at the request of Chairman Senkler. Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Paul Rice on behalf Jerome Pierre, Phyllis Green, and Mr. Robert Elsola, has made application to the City of Hugo to subdivide approximately 18 acres, zoned conservancy into three lots to be consolidated with three homesites. The property in question is on both sides of Keller Ave. and at the southeast corner of School Section Lake. The applicants currently have residences on parcels A, B, and C east of Keller Ave. as indicated on the enclosed certificate of survey. The applicants have acquired the portion of land west of Keller Ave. from Mr. Robert Elsola in an effort to secure access to School Section Lake. The property is currently zoned conservancy and the applicants are requesting waiver of the formal subdivision requirements. In light of the fact that this request involves the consolidation of property to expand the size of the existing residential lots and considering there are no improvements or development proposed for the site in question, we can see no objections to approval of this subdivision and waiver of the formal subdivision requirements. We would suggest that said approval, if recommended by the planning commission be subject to special conditions. Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. Area residents shared the opinion that no building construction should be permitted on the proposed lots. Mr. Rice stated that the property is strictly for private lake access by the homeowners and it was not their intent to allow public access. Patrick Rooney was concerned that because of the traffic on the road allowing docks or boat launching would create a hazard. Pam Bjorum supported the subdivision. Chairman Senkler stated that the water appears to be in the road right-of-way at this time and leaves virtually no space for placement of a dock on site. Motion made by Henry, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the request of Mr. Paul Rice to subdivide an 18 acre tract of land into three lots to be consolidated with three existing homesites and waiver of the formal subdivision requirements subject to the following special conditions. Legal description as provided on warranty deed available on file in the City Clerk's office. 1. The certificate of survey must be submitted to the city council within 90 days of preliminary survey acceptance or planning commission approval shall be null and void. 2.

If required, permits from the Department of Natural Resources must be secured prior to final survey approval. 4.
