The regular meeting of the Hugo Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Senkler at 7:03PM. PRESENT: Mezzano, Thoreson, Senkler, Carole LaBelle ABSENT: Henry, Oswald, Barnes Motion made by Mezzano, seconded by Thoreson to approve the minutes of April 26, 1989. All aye, motion passed. Chairman Senkler reviewed the application with the planning commission. He stated that Ms. Jeanette Pfurtscheller and Mr. William Simonet have made application to the City of Hugo and variance to split a 36.9 acre tract of land into 7 residential building sites. The property is zoned RR2 requiring minimum 5 acre lot size. Three lots are located on Round Lake and four of the lots are located south of the proposed 121st Street. The applicants involved in this request submitted a similar proposal to the Planning Commission in 1988, following Commission approval, said subdivision was not processed through the City Council for final approval. The applicants have revised their lot layout and roadway location since previous PC review. The initial survey was prepared by Georgi/Schmidt & Assoc., and the grading and floor elevations plan has been prepared by Itasca Engineering. Both engineers have signed the preliminary plat in question. One of the major concerns of the Planning Commission when this matter was tabled from the April 26, 1989 meeting was the location of the east/west access road to the site from Janero Avenue. Since the previous Planning Commission meeting, the City has received a copy of an Access Agreement between Mike Lengyel and William Simonet regarding road access to the property south of the site in question. It would appear that the revised plat submitted by the developer has addressed a number of the concerns previously raised by the staff and Planning Commission. Those questions left unresolved involve the following: 1. Is the road intersection proposed at the east end of Lot 1, Block J. consistent with the subdivision regulations and acceptable arrangement to the city engineer? 2. There appear to be two culverts to be installed under the roadways proposed. There is no indication of which way the water will drain through these culverts that would indicate whether water would be stored on site or drained to areas off of the plat in question. Mr. Larry Samstad was present to address any questions from the planning commission. Mr. Samstad provided the commission with a statement which he felt would address all of the concerns of the previous meetinq. He also stated that he will provide the city engineer with correct elevations and culvert locations. The planning commissioners were concerned that the floor elevations for the residences were in low areas, the sharp turn at the west end of the east/west road was not redesigned, and the variance required for the lake lots was much too great.
