/ HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - October 26, 1988 The regular meeting of the Hugo Planning Commission was called to order by Chairman Senkler at 7:00PM. Gail Thoreson was sworn in as planning commissioner. PRESENT: Sullivan, Henry, Thoreson, Jesinski, Barnes, Senkler, Carole LaBelle, Administrator Huber Motion made by Henry, seconded by Sullivan to approve the minutes of September 28, 1988 as amended. All aye, motion passed. Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review this request with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Mike Lengyel and Mrs. Jeanette Pfurtscheller have made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a 36 acre parcel of land plus an additional 10 acre outlot. This request has been reviewed by the planning commission on two previous occasions and has been tabled to October 26th. In reviewing the plat of Round Lake Addition there has been a number of major revisions since last reviewed by the planning commission. The primary roadway serving this development from Janero Ave. has been moved from the south border of the site to a location serving both outlot A and the balance of the subdivision. Although we have received a revised preliminary plat there was no explanation as to why the roadway was relocated. We can assume however, that it has something to do with the wetland areas and requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The revised roadway location should eliminate some of the concerns noted by adjacent property owners at the previous continued public hearing. In reviewing the plat it appears that the lots meet minimum size and frontage on a public roadway. It should be noted, however, that the revised roadway will eliminate any possibility of connecting this subdivision development to County Rd. 10 in the future. If the planning commission recommends approval of this subdivision we would suggest said recommendation be subject to special conditions. Mr. Bill Simonet informed the audience that Steve Woods of the Rice Creek Watershed District required the change in the road location. Mr. Simonet stated that he has hired an engineer to address the roadway issue and they will remove the first roadway and return that area to its original condition. Mr. Mike Ball, Craig Breeder, and Ray Gatzow were concerned with the location of the proposed roadway. Mr. Ball indicated that the easement to the north is private and would like to see this easement closed when the roadway is installed. Mr. Huber informed Mr. Ball that this was a private issue and the city cannot dictate whether the easement continues to be used as access to County 10. Mr. Simonet agreed that the easement crossing Mr. Ball's property would be vacated when the roadway was installed. Mr. Ball questioned whether the lots could meet the 300' setback requirement and if Washington County reviewed the perc tests.
