P.C. Minutes - June 22, 1988 Page 4 Minor subdivision_Reguest (H. Johnson) Administrator Huber reviewed the application for subdivision with the planning commision. Mr. Huber stated that Howard and Viona Johnson have made application to the City of Hugo for a minor subdivision and waiver of the formal platting requirements to subdivide a 17.4 acre tract of land into two parcels. Currently the tract in question is identified as two separate parcels as per the Washington County auditor. Currently there is a home on proposed tract B and a pole barn on proposed tract A. It is our understanding that Mr. Johnson intends to sell tract A to Linda Lillie for construction of a home on said site. There is a small portion of wetland on the east portion of this site, but the applicants have indicated that they do not intend to disturb this area. The property in question is zoned RR2 requiring minimum 5 acre tracts for development. The city staff can see no reason to deny the application, however, we could not recommend the dedication of a 66' roadway from 130th St. to tract A in that it does not conform to city policy unless a 5 ton bituminous road is constructed. City policy would allow Mr. Johnson to convey an easement to the owner of tract A allowing access to 130th St., however, this would prohibit the future subdivision of tract A. The entire parcel in question is generally described as the south 834.8 ft. of the southwest 1/4 of the southwest 1/4 of Section 26, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota, excepting therefrom the west 417.4 ft. thereof. If the planning commission recommends approval of this minor subdivision we would recommend said approval be subject to special condition. Mr. Huber pointed out the existing driveway is at the intersection of Irish Ave. and 130th St. and this access would serve both lots. Chairman Senkeler requested comments from the public. Residents were concerned with the sizes of the lots, whether it could be subdivided in a north south direction. Residents were informed that the city does not generally dictate how property should be subdivided and the proposed subdivision brings the two lots more into compliance with city requirements than currently exist. Ms. Judy Bailey stated she had no objection to the request. Motion made by Sonnenfeld, seconded by Sullivan to recommend approval of the request of Linda Lillie/Howard and Viona Johnson to subdivide 17.4 acres into two lots one 10.32 acres and one 6.81 acres subject to the following conditions; 1. A preliminary survey be submitted to the city council within 90 days of the planning commissions recommendations. 2. That any recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed District or other governmental agencies be complied with. 3. Preliminary survey not be submitted to the city council until all engineering, legal, and staff recommendations have been incorporated into the plat. 4. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant and the cost of recording documents with Washington County. 5. The developer shall pay the fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of survey approval.
