Mr. Sederholm could not give an accurate number of trailers that will be parked outside of the building at a given time. The Planning Commission discussed the access to Highway 61 from the proposed lots.

Motion Carried. REALTY WORLD NORTH - REZONING Greger stated that he would like to see the business come to Hugo, but did not like the idea for rezoning RB to IND because it would encourage strip develop- ment along Highway 61. If the city has strip develop;"there will be no accommo- dation for a frontage road, and lots would be sold individually. Greger stated Hugo Planning Commission ` July 22, 1981 " Page 2 of 3 Realtv World - cont. that he would like to see the land developed by blocks, as in an Industrial Park. Mr. Sederholm said he was trying to find a piece of land where the pro- posed use could be allowed. It was suggested that they rezone the property, because the type of use was not allowed in RB. It was noted that Robert McCullough, property owner to the north, had granted a 50' easement for possible construction of a frontage road. Sederholm felt that if the buildings were set far enough back that possibility would be available. Motion made by Peltier, seconded by Fashingbauer, to recommend approval of the request of Realty Work North, to rezone approximately 6.24 acres from the RB district to the INDUSTRIAL district, subject to applicant submitting adequate proof -of -ownership. Consideration should be given to the granting of a 50, easement for future frontage road purposes.
