P.C. MINUTES - May 23, 1990 page 2 On behalf of the Church of St. John the Baptist, Hugo, Minnesota, the Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority has made application for a special use permit to construct a multiple family housing project consisting of 28 dwelling units in an RB zoning district. The parcel in question is identified as Parcel B of Certificate of Survey 05-7-90(A), approved by the Hugo City Council on May 7, 1990. The property in question is located east of Highway 61 and north of 142nd St. on the western shore of Egg Lake. The site is to be used for residential purposes only with the primary intent to accommodate senior citizens. The buildings cover approximately 17.6% of the site, while approximately 65% of the site will be retained as open space. Forty one outdoor and 15 enclosed parking stalls will be provided on site. The residential structure is to be constructed on a slab at approximately 931 ft. mean sea level. The soils report submitted indicates that ground water appeared at approximately 923 ft. mean sea level on this site. All driveway and parking areas are to be paved surfaces and open areas will be sodded or seeded as indicated on the site plan. The site will be served with municipal utilities, with access to the site coming from Highway 61. The building will be set back from the lakeshore of Egg Lake as required by City shoreland regulations and all improvements on site within the setback required will be subject to said regulations. The site plan has been reviewed by the city staff and we can see no major objections to the plan as submitted. If the Hugo Planning Commission feels this project is consistent with the City's comprehensive plan and recommends approval to the Hugo City Council, we would recommend it be subject to special conditions. Mr. Brad Wirt from the Washington County HRA was present to address any questions from the planning commission. Mr. Wirt stated that the HRA will receive the permit from Rice Creek Watershed District when all fees are paid. There are currently 76 persons on the waiting list to occupy the proposed residence. Chairman Senkler opened the public hearing. No one from the general public was present to comment. Commissioners expressed their concern regarding the drainage plan submitted. The plan indicated that there was not enough storage capacity on site to hold stormwater runoff. Commissioner Barnes indicated that before the water could reach the Highway 61 outlet the runoff could washout the driveway to the senior residence. Several suggestions made by the commission included underground storage areas, redirecting water from the roof, or buried culverts to retain the runoff. Motion made by Senkler, seconded by Henry to recommend approval of the request for a special use permit by the Washington County HRA/Church of St. John the Baptist to construct a multifamily residence on the property identified as Parcel B, Certificate of Survey 5-7-90(A), in the Hugo City Clerk's office, subject to the following special conditions. 1. Conformance with the site plan submitted. 2. All conditions of the special use permit must be met or this permit will be considered null and void.
