MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION April 25, 1990 The meeting was called to order by Chairman Senkler at 7:00PM. PRESENT: Mezzano, Thoreson, Oswald, Senkler, Carole LaBelle ABSENT: Henry, Barnes Motion made by Oswald, seconded by Mezzano to approve the minutes of March 28, 1990 as amended. All aye, motion passed. Chairman Senkler reviewed this request with the planning commission. Mr. Senkler stated that a public hearing had been scheduled for this evening to consider the request of Cyril and Catherine LaCasse to subdivide approximately 52 acres into two lots. The property in question is zoned agricultural and is located east of Elmcrest Ave. and north of 140th St. (legal: the southeast 1/4 of the southwest 1/4 of Section 19, T31, R21, Washington County and that part of the north 1/2 of the northwest 1/4, Section 30, T31, R21, Washington County lying north of the south 990 ft. as measured along the east line thereof, and which also lies east of the centerline of Elmcrest Ave. as traveled). Mr. LaCasse appeared before the planning commission in the fall of 1988, requesting the formal platting of the property in question, but did not pursue this request beyond the preliminary plat approval. We have cautioned Mr. LaCasse that the way he is subdividing the property would make it virtually impossible to resubdivide Tract 2 in the future because of limited road access. The LaCasse's have acknowledged this situation and have indicated that there are no plans to subdivide Tract 2 now or in the future. The appropriate percolation tests for the sites in question have been submitted, as has the permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District. The proposed housing locations as identified on the survey meet lot dimension and setback requirements. This request is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of this minor subdivision and waiver of the formal platting requirements, we would suggest that said recommendation be subject to special conditions. Ms. Bernie LaCasse was present to answer any questions the planning commission had regarding this subdivision. Ms. LaCasse acknowledged that she understood it would be virtually impossible to further subdivide Parcel B in the future. Planning Commission members felt this request was consistent with the comprehensive plan. Motion made by Thoreson, seconded by Mezzano to recommend approval of certificate of survey #____ for the minor subdivision request of Cyril and Catherine LaCasse to subdivide 52 acres into one 42 acre parcel and one 10 acre parcel and waiver of the formal subdivision requirements subject to the following special conditions: - 1 -
