Sperial Use Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review the application with the planring commission. Mr. Hube~ stated that Mr. Richard Charest has made application to the City of Hugo for an amended Special Use Permit to al]ow for the construction of a boathouse on his property prior to constructior of the principal structure. The prooerty in question is zoned RR2 and consists of approximately one acre. The property is regulated by the city's shoreland ordinance, on Sunset Lake (Lot 8 of Royalhaven Estates 1st Addition). The applicant also owns and resides at Lot 4, Block 1 of Royalhaven Estates 2nd Addition. The elevation where the boatnouse is located appears to be about 109 ft., while the shore of Sunset Lake appears to be at 102 ft. The property in question was involved in a special use permit in October, 1985 at which time the applicant requested permission to fill certain areas on site. This request appears to be consistent with the city's shoreland regulations and the city has received notice from the Dept. of Natural Resources that the plan is acceptable to them. A major concern of the city would be that the structure in question would be properly anchored, meet city building code requirements, and would be used solely for the storage of boats and related equipment as defined in the city's shoreland ordinance. Chairman Senkler opened the puolic hearing portion of the meeting for comments. Mr. Sean Hallet questionod whether the structure was built for the purpose of a boathouse. He stated that the boathouse blocks a considerable amount of nis view to the lake from his home, and informed the commission he would be willing to help Mr. C"arest move the building. Mr' Cho -est stated that he can't store his boats in the structure because they are too big, but he would be using the building for boating accessories. Commissioner Senkler felt the building appeared to be more for recreational use than storage. Mr. Charest informed the comnission that there is storage throughout the building. Commissioner Mezzano did not favor allowing an accessory use prior to a principal residence. The planning commission could not +ind cause to oppose the structure if it was used solely as a boathouse.
