Idministrative Inter Schmeling reviewed this request with the planning commission. He stated that Mr. Dan Santanni, 1019 W. Sherren St., Roseville, has applied to the City of Hugo for an amended Special Use Permit to construct a 50' X 81' accessory storage building instead of the originally proposed 54' X 40' accessory storage building and requests the waiver of conditions 1, 5, 6, 7 of the previous special use permit approved on 10-6-89 by the city council. This tract is located north of 125th St. and east of Goodview Ave. (aka 7124 125th St.). The parcel is zoned agriculture and is 80 acres in size. The property is legally described as the east 1/2 of the northeast 1/4, Section 33, T31N, R21W, Washington County. The city staff sees no problem with the larger building but would question the desirability of eliminating the special conditions of the previous permit. Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. Mr. Santanni stated that he felt conditions 1, 5, 6, 7 were unreasonable and an infringement of his constitutional rights. Mrs. Santanni was present and informed the commission that her husband has a hearing problem and that contributes to his confusion and misunderstanding of the issues. Mr. Santanni stated he would welcome any representative from the City of Hugo at anytime to his accessory building but does not feel the condition mandating it is necessary. A majority of the commission members concurred that requiring a building permit on an agricultural building was unnecessary if the building is used solely for agricultural purposes. Administrator Huber attended the meeting briefly and informed the commission that the building zermit condition could be eliminated if the use is solely for farming purposes. Several members also agreed that most farm operations do store machinery outside and to forbid Mr. Santanni from doing so would be unreasonable. After a lengthy discussion and in a motion by Henry, seconded by Barnes the commission recommended approval of the amended special use permit request of Dan Santanni to construct a 50' X 81' accessory storage building for storing his crops, grains, and farm machinery subject to the conditions of his original permit with the following revisions: 1. Shall be deleted 5. If the owner initiates any action to subdivide all or a portion of the 80 acre site described, he shall be required to post a $3,000 letter of credit with the City, assuring that a residential structure will be constructed on the site where the proposed building will exist. Said construction will take place within three (3) years of the submitted letter of creditor the deposit forfieted. 6. No exterior storage of equipment or materials other than for farming purposes shall be permitted on site. 7. Representatives of the City be allowed access to the site at reasonable times to assure compliance with this permit. Members voting Aye: Mezzano, Henry, Thoreson, Barnes Members voting Nay: Senkler Motion passed. P.C. Minutes 11-21-89 3
