In making his motion for approval of the special use permit for Lot 23, Block 1 of Lake Air Estates allowing a temporary structure made of wood and poly material to remain on site, Commissioner Mezzano stated that he did not feel that the conventional type greenhouse structure in question is appropriate for this residential area, he noted that his recommendation for approval was based on the fact that the structure is already present on site, that it will be removed in the spring of 1990, and creates an extreme hardship for the applicant in light of the current weather conditions and his need to properly care for the Bonsai Tree collection. Commissioner Barnes seconded the motion for approval subject to the following special conditions. 1. The site in question be used only to grow and house the Bonsai Trees and not as a commercial operation. 2. The temporary building must be removed by June 1, 1990, and the applicants will post a $2,000 letter of credit good through July 1, 1990 or make a cash deposit with the City of Hugo to assure removal of the temporary structure. 3. The applicants pay double permit fees to secure the proper permits in advance of constructing this temporary facility. 4. No sale of the Bonsai Trees be permitted from the site in question. 5. No public or group viewing of the trees be done at 5024 124th St., Hugo Minnesota. 6. No on street parking be permitted as it relates to this permit. 7. No advertising be permitted on site. 8.

Commission Chairman Senkler again reiterated the position of the planning commission regarding the temporary structure just acted on by the commission. He stated that the commission does not feel the structure is acceptable for this type of residential neighborhood and is only making this recommendation for a limited time to avoid any hardship or loss of the Bonsai Trees by Mr. Hampel. He pointed out that the commission did not want to lead anyone to believe that a precedent was being set and that the conventional type of plastic/glass greenhouse facility is not acceptable in this type of residential development.
