PRESENT: Sullivan, Henry, Jesinski, Barnes, Senkler, Carole LaBelle, Administrator Huber Motion made by Henry, second by Jesinski to approve the minutes of August 24, 1988 as amended. All aye, motion passed. Chairman Senkler requested that Administrator Huber review the request with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Ms. Irene Arcand and Robert Kiewel have made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a 160 acre tract of land zoned RR2 and generally described as follows, eastern 1/2 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 33, T31N, R21W; and the western 1/2 of the southwest 1/4 of Section 34, T31N, R21W, City of Hugo and 2.13 acres owned by Irene M. Arcand and lying north northwest of County Rd. 10 in the northeast 1/4 of the northeast 1/4 of Section 5, T30N, R21W, Grant Township. It is the intent of the applicant and owner to subdivide the property into 32 lots consisting of 5 gross acres each. It is also the intent of the developers to serve this development by on site wells, septic systems, and LP gas. Electric will be underground lines provided by NSP. Access to the site will be from County Road 10 and 125th St. by and interior bituminous surface roadway system to be constructed by the developers. Copies of the preliminary plat have been forwarded to the Washington County Engineering department and Grant Township for their review and comment. Copies are also being reviewed by the city engineer. A preliminary review of the proposed plat indicates it is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the developers appear to be trying to preserve as many of the natural features of the site as possible. All lots within the development have access to the interior roadway system with the exception of lot 2, block 2, and lot 2, block 3. We have informed the applicants that the proposed roadway is 6' wider than required and the preliminary should show all easements and approximate building locations on the plat. The applicants have also indicated that they will be making application to the Rice Creek Watershed District for the necessary permits. On site percolation tests are also being prepared. Grant Township has notified the city that they have no objections to the developement but would suggest that the city require bituminous roads within the development. Mr. Huber noted that the access to County State Aid Highway 10 is now located further east than on the original plat' Mr. Huber informed Steve Sondrall, attorney for Keystone Builders that Rice Creek Watershed approval and the percolation tests must be submitted prior to council consideration. Mr. Sondrall questioned the requirement of concrete curb and gutter. Commissioners Senkler and Barnes concurred that the steep grade of Heather Ave. to 120th could create a runoff problem and felt that some type of curb �� l5�~��essary to divert the water into a drainage system and avoid serious erosion and runoff problems. , Area resident Kathy Scobie questioned whether the homesite locations indicated on the preliminary plat are the exact locations of proposed buildings and
