Chairman Senkler requested that Mr. Huber review the application with the commission and residents. Mr. Huber stated that a public hearing was scheduled for this evening to hear the request of Mr. Byron Anderson to subdivide a 49 acre plus tract of land into five lots of approximately 9.99 acres per lot. The property in question is zoned agricultural and has road frontage on Jeffrey Avenue and 152nd Street. The site is located in the N 1/2 of the SE 1/4 of Section 14, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota. The applicant intends to serve the site in question with utilities by the use of on-site septic systems and private water wells. The surface water drainage plan has been submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District for their review and approval. The variance requests submitted in conjunction with this subdivision involves the approval of 9.99 acre tracts and authorization to construct a single family dwelling within 100' of the water's edge on Lot 3 (200' is required). If the Hugo Planning Commission recommends approval of this preliminary plat, we would suggest that said approval be subject to special conditions. Mr' Jeff Hughes, Wild Wings Game Farm was present and stated that in view of the fact that Minnesota statutes prohibit the discharge of firearms within 500' of a dwelling, he felt prospective buyers should be made aware that there is a game farm operating across the road. Mr. SenkIer advised Mr. Hughes that he should try to negotiate an alternate site for the home on lot 5 to meet the required distance for shooting guns. Mr. Huber spoke to Steve Woods from Rice Creek Watershed and they have no objection to the project. Mr. Huber stated that a bounce level will be required to determine the water elevation. Mr. Anderson stated that perc tests have been done for all lots. He also informed the commission that he is not removing any material from the lots and has no plan for excavating.
