MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION November 18, 1987 The regular meeting was called to order by Chairman Senkler at 7:03PM. PRESENT: Sullivan, Henry, Senkler, Jesinski, Administrator Huber, Carole LaBelle Motion made by Jesinski, seocnded by Sullivan to approve the minutes of October 29, 1987. All aye, motion passed. IV.A. ) Ms. Jeanette Pfurtsheller has made application to the City of Hugo for a Special Use Permit to board horses on their property located at 8745 122nd St., Hugo. The property in question is zoned RR2 and consists of approximately 16.9 acres. The permit to construct the 30' X 48' pole building to house the animals in question was approved by the city October of 1986. When this structure was approved, it was specified that the building was not to be used to house animals. The applicants are now requesting that this building be used to house animals, although they have failed to specify how many. It is our understanding that the applicants have proceeded with the remodeling of the building in question and that the required building permit to make such modifications has not been secured. If the Planning Commission chooses to approve the special use permit in question we would recommend said approval be subject to special conditions. Mr. Huber informed the commission that the language on the building permit issued in October of 1986 was to inform the applicants that animals require the issuance of a special use permit to be kept in an RR2 zone. Mr. Bill Simonet representing Ms. Pfurtscheller and stated they had inadvertently neglected to obtain the building permit for construction within the pole building. He stated that there is a designated area next to the existing pole building used as a pasture/corral. The corral is approximately 1 acre in size and surrounded by electric fencing. Mr. Simonet state that there would be no advertising signs on the property. The animals are and will be kept the required distance from the lakeshore. Mr. Simonet stated that there is no commercial operation taking place, and the city would be allowed on the premises for inspection to insure the continuance of all requirements. The public hearing was attended by Mike Ball, 8715 122nd St. and Jo Lovegren, 8355 122nd St. who opposed the addition of animals into the area surrounding the lake. Mrs. Lovegren has had numerous conversations with the DNR and found that the runoff from pastures has a negative effect on the quality of the lake water. Mr. Ball stated that the easement providing access to the Pfurtscheller's property crosses his property and the additional traffic generated from the boarding of horses at Pfurtscheller's would be detrimental to the roadway. Mr. Glen Bjornson felt that the animals would not be harmful to the lake or the environment and that the real problem was the speed boats on the lake.
