Is MINUTES OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION December 28, 1988 The regular meeting was called to order by Chairman Senkler at 7:00PM. PRESENT: Thoreson, Henry, Jesinski, Barnes, Senkler ABSENT: Sullivan Motion made by Jesinski, seconded by Henry to approve the minutes of November 22, 1988 as amended. All aye, motion passed REZONING REQUEST - HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review this application with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Heritage Development of Minnesota, on behalf of Vern Peloquin, Mary Christianson, and Philip Greenwaldt, have made application to the City of Hugo for the rezoning of three parcels of land to Single Family Urban. It is the intent of Heritage Development to assemble approximately 47 acres for residential development in an area southwest of Oneka Lake and east of Geneva Ave. on Oneka Lake Blvd. The sites in question are currently zoned SFE and Conservancy. The developers are desirous of zoning the entire parcel SFU for residential development purposes. Parcel A abutts SFU zones to the east and south, Parcel B abutts SFU zones on the west and north, and Parcel C abutts SFU zones on the west. The developers understand that if the sites are improved to accommodate single family residential dwellings, they will need to extend utilities and conform with the city's subdivision regulations at the time of plat review. The proposed sites are within the urban service area of the City of Hugo. In that part of the project area located within a floodplain zone B, we would want to clarify that approving the rezoning of property does not necessarily imply that the city will allow subdivision of all of the tracts in question to 10,400 sq. ft. lots. The rezoning in question appears to be consistent with the comprehensive plan and abutts on other districts zoned for single family urban. Mr. Dennis Johnston representing Heritage Development was present and stated that they realize all of the property will not be subdivided into homesites, but they do expect to have several lots on the south side of Oneka Lake Blvd. Chairman Senkler requested comments from the general public. Mr. Ron Cressman from the Oneka Lake Watershed Association was concerned with the possibility of standing water near Oneka Lake and creating additional flooding in the north area of the subdivision. Mr. Senkler informed Mr. Cressman that this was a subdivision issue and would be dealt with at the time of subdivision. Mr. Joe Taylor from Hubbard Broadcasting questioned whether there could possibly be any tall structures to impede the reception at their satellite stations north of the proposed subdivision. He was told that the maximum building height in the SFU zone is 35' which should not have any effect on their equipment. Chairman Senkler closed the public hearing. Commissioner Jesinski stated he saw no objection to the rezoning at this time but may have some reservations at the time of subdivision review. 1
