Hugo Planning Commission March 9, 1977 Page 2 MRS. JOHN DISTLER - SELLING 5 ACRES IN AG ZONING The Distler's own a home sitting on 5 acres of land. They have since outgrown the house, and would like to sell. However, they want to change the property lines of the deeded property. The land in question is between County Road 4 and Keystone Avenue. Chairman Ehret advised the Distler's that the Planning Commission would not consider, because they have to uphold the zoning laws of the city. TERRY TOWNSEND - REZONING Mr. Townsend purchased the 1.4 acres in July, 1974, with the under- standing they were going to get another 3.6 acres, because they wanted a guaranteed price on the land. Mr. Schwab stated that the deed should be made so that both deeds are one piece of land, and the application should be changed from rezoning to subdivision. Motion made by Gillen, seconded by Peloquin,that we allow the addition of 3.6 acres to the existing 1.4 acres subject to the restriction that the resulting 5 acres be incorporated into one parcel of land covered by one deed. VOTING FOR: Ehret, Peltier, Peloquin, Greger, Gillen, and McAllister Motion Carried. Motion made by Gillen, seconded by Greger, that the submitted appli- cation be changed from rezoning to minor subdivision, and make a recommendation to the City Council to reimburse Mr. Townsend for the difference in the fee. VOTING FOR: Ehret, Peltier, Peloquin, Greger, Gillen, and McAllister Motion Carried. Recessed 9:35 Reconvened 9:45 Mr. Jerry Dabe, 17080 Henna Avenue North, appeared requesting advisement on how much right-of-way he will need for a driveway. Mr. Dabe would like to purchase 40 acres from Perrault. Mr. Ehret suggested that Mr. Dabe would be well advised to get 601. The matter of the proposed solid waste landfill in Hugo was discussed. Hickok: & Associates will be holding a public hearing some time in the next month or so. Mr. Dan Spitzer is attempting to set up an informational meeting prior to the hearing. Schwab said that a site had been selected a couple of years ago in Afton. The Metro Council did not approve, and suggested that another site be found. Soils and sites were ana- lyzed by a computer, and eventually narrowed to three sites - one in Oakdale, one in May Township, and one in Hugo. Ehret asked that if the site in Hugo is picked, what options are available to the city to fight it. Schwab stated that the matter would probably wind up going to court.
