MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION June 28, 1989 The regular meeting of the Hugo Planning Commission was called to order at 7:00PM by Chairman Senkler. PRESENT: Thoreson, Henry, Oswald, Senkler ABSENT: Mezzano, Barnes Motion made by Senkler, seconded by Thoreson to approves the minutes of May 24, 1919. All aye, motion passed. Rezoning Request (J. i.-fellison) Chairman Senkler reviewed this request with the planning commission. He stated that Jim and Sherron Kellison have applied to the City of Hugo for the rezoning of a 6.7 acre tract of land from conservancy to RR2. Mr. Kellison has purchased an 11.6 acre tract of land from Mr. Dave Potter earlier this year. In the past the property in question has been a treated as a single tract of land, although the property in question is in two different zoning districts. Part of the property is conservancy, the other portion is zoned SFE. The previous owner Dave Potter appeared before the city council on February 16, 1988 to request a rezoning of the conservancy area to SFE. This request was denied and the city council encouraged Mr. Potter to reapply for a rezoning to an RR1 or RR2 zoning district. The city's comprehensive plan calls for a minimum lot size of 5 gross acres per dwelling unit outside the Municipal Urban Service Area. Mr. Kellison would like to get this property rezoned to RR2 so that a single family residence can be built on the site in question and there will be no problems in the future with regard to the need for a variance as the site is smaller than the required 20 acres in a conservancy zone. The rezoning in question would be consistent with the subdivision plat submitted for your consideration. The site is located on the east side of Elmcrest Ave. approximately 500' north of 129th St. Chairman Senkler called the public hearing to order. No one from the general public was present to comment on this issue. Mr. Kellison is rezoning in order to subdivide the 11.6 acre tract into two lots, which is not possible unless the northern portion of the property is rezoned. All members of the commission concurred that this was a reasonable request and complied with the comprehensive plan. Motion made by Senkler, seconded by Henry to recommend approval of the request of Jim and Sherryon Kellison to rezone 6.7 acres from Conservancy to RR2 legally described as follows: That part of Government Lot 1, Section 31, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota, commencing at the northwest corner of Gov't Lot 1; thence north 89 degrees 36 minutes 34 seconds East, assumed bearing along the north line of Gov't Lot 1, a distance of 532.50 feet to the center line of Elmcrest Ave. North and the P.C.
