MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION December 26, 1984 The regular meeting was called to order by Chairman Lorch at 7:00 PM. PRESENT: Schoeller, Atkinson, Lorch, Potts, Rudisill, Olson ABSENT: Fashingbauer Motion made by Rudisill, seconded by Schoeller, to approve the minutesof Nov. 28, 1984 as submitted. All aye, motion carried. Mr. Lorch scheduled a special meeting, public hearing on February 6, 1985, 7:00PM to discuss the application of the White Bear Rod and Gun Club for an amended SUP. The regular meeting was recessed and the public hearing called to order at 7:04 PM. Frank Puleo - Public Hearing - Mr. Puleo would like to rezone 8.8 acres of his 9.8 to industrial for the purpose of conducting a manufacturing business out of an accessory building. The one remaing acre would be reserved for a home - site. Mr. Puleo and his associaties are constructing handicap grab bars. This is a welding business using argon gas. After pieces are welded they are wiped clean, not washed. Ron Cressman, 6085 165th St. was present to state his objection to the rezoning. The residents in the area have no problem with the business being conducted in the building but do not feel it should be rezoned to accommodate them. A letter from another resident, Gary Schoonover stating his objection was read. The main concern of the residents are the high water table, possible storage of dangerous materials and the possibility of selling the property to another less desireable industrial use. The public hearing closed and the regular meeting reconvened at 7:38 PM. Frank Puleo - Rezoning - The general feeling of the commission was that to rezone the property for 30 to 40 hours of work per month would be unreasonable for the residents who live there 24 hours a day. Motion made by Potts, seconded by Schoeller,ip recommend denial of the request for rezoning for Frank Puleo from SFE to Industrial for the following reasons; 1. An industrial zoning in this case would constitute spot zoning. AS pro- posed it would have a zoning of SFE on two side, and a zoning of agricul- ture on the other two sides. 2. Applicant has stated at a number of previous planning commisiion and/or city council meetings that his proposed barn would be for personal storage only (boats, snowmobile, etc.). 3. Applicant has installed a commercial type metal fabrication shop in his barn in violation of zoning ordinance 320-4 Subd. G and without making the nec- essary applications to the City of Hugo. 4. The creation of an industrial zone next to sin le family estates is not good planning (ie, black should not be placed ext to white, but should be separated by one or more shades of gray).
