MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION August 23, l989 The regular meeting was called to order at 7:00PM by Chairman Senkler. PRESENT: Mezzano, Oswald, Thoreson, Senkler, Administrator Huber, Carole Belle ABSENT: Henry, Barnes Mezzano made motion, seconded by Thoreson to approve the minutes of July 26, 1989 as amended. All aye, motion passed. (Preliminary Plat) Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review this application request with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mrs. Lorraine St. Sauver has made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a 60 acre tract of land into six lots of approximately 10 acres each. The property in question is zoned agricultural and is located at the northwest corner of Homestead Ave. and 132nd St. Mrs. St. Sauver is also asking for a variance that would allow for the platting of Lot 4 at 9'8 acres. Percolation tests have been prepared for all lots in question and all were determined suitable for construction of individual sewage treatment systems by the Washington County Planning Department. The applicants have informed us that they have made a request to the Rice Creek Watershed District for the needed permits and will dedicate the needed drainage easements as required. The subdivision of this property into 10 acre lots is consistent with the city's zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. If the Hugo Planning Commission feels this application is consistent with the long range plans of the city, we would suggest that said recommendation for preliminary plat approval be subject to special conditions. Chairman Senkler opened the public hearing for comments. Mrs. Alice Christenson and surrounding residents wanted to verify the fact that there were only ten acre lots allowed in this area. She was assured that the application as submitted was strictly a request for 10 acre lots with the exception of a small variance on lot 4. Members of the planning commission concurred this was an acceptable use of the property in question and complied with the city's comprehensive plan' Hearing no objections to the preliminary plat a motion was made by Mezzano, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the request by Mrs' Lorraine St. Sauver to subdivide a 59.8 acre tract of land (described as follows; that part of the north 105 acres of the southwest quarter, Section 27, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota, lying east of the west 1257.75' thereof, and That part of the south 150 feet of the south half of the northwest quarter, Section 27, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota, lying easterly of the following described line: Commencing at the southeast corner of the south half of the northwest quarter of Section 27; thence west, along the south line of the south half of the northwest
