" ° P.C. Minutes - November 22, 1988 Mr. Bill Simonet representing Mr. Wlaschin stated that the 1987 request was denied because the commission felt at that time this would be spot zoning. With the growth of the community in that area toward 5 acre zoning the planning commission felt this would be an appropriate zone for that property and the request conformed with the comprehensive plan. Mr. Wlaschin stated that his intent is to subdivide the property for the construction of a residence. Mr. Huber pointed out that approving a rezoning is not a guarantee that a subdivision of land will be approved. Motion made by Jesinski,.seconded by Sullivan to recommend approval of the rezoning request by Raymond and Ramona Wlaschin to rezone 16.7 acres from agricultural to RR2. All aye, motion passed. Chairman Senkler requested Mr. Huber review the request with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Leslie Raymond and Scott Erhardt have made application to the City of Hugo for a special use permit to allow the construction of a 40' X 60' pole barn in an agricultural area. The property in question is ten acres in size and located at the northwest corner of Fiona and 120th St. No. The applicant states that he would like to have the pole barn constructed in advance of the principal residence so he would have a place to store his personal belongings and the materials to be used in the construction of his home. Mr. Erhardt has prepared a site plan indicating the approximate location of his future home and the pole barn in question. Although allowing an accessory building to be constructed in advance of the principal structure is not a good practice, the city does have a provision in it's ordinance that allows this approach by special use permit. Similar requests have been approved by the planning commission and city council subject to the posting of a financial guarantee and assurance by the applicant that a home will be constructed within 18 months of permit approval. If the planning commission recommends approval of this request we would suggest that the approval be subject to special conditions. Mr. Erhardt stated that he intends to construct his residence within 12 months but had some reservations regarding the size of the financial guarantee. Mr. Huber informed Mr. Erhardt that the guarantee was required because of the possibility that the city could be faced with removal of the building if the residence was not constructed. Planning Commissioners concurred with Chairman Senkler that they had no objection to the request as long as there was a financial guarantee posted. Senkler made motion, seconded by Sullivan to recommend approval of the special use permit for Scott Erhardt to construct a 40' X 60' pole building prior to construction of the principal residence subject to the following special conditions. 1. A building permit for the pole building must be applied for within 120 days of the SUP approval. Substantial construction of any building and improvements must be underway within 120 days of permit issuance. 2. Property lines must be identified on site by the petitioner to assure proper setbacks when constructed if required by the building inspector.
