PRESENT: Peloquin, Hanson, Greger, Houle, McAllister and Peltier Mr. Leibel presented the Commission a perc test for the property to be rezoned and a site plan for the proposed marina operation. Mr. Dave Potter, 4394 129th St, requested that Fir. Leibel elaborate on the operation. Leibel stated that he intended to construct a 60 x 100 pole barn to be used for storage with an increase in the number of boats to be rented from 10 to 20. Gas would be sold on the dock, and at the building for his own use. The site plan indicated parking spaces for 16 cars with a possibility of 6 more spaces in the rear. There would be a launch on the lake, but would not be used by the public. The proposed dock has room for 44 boats, and buoys would be placed in the water for rental. Mr. Leibel would also furnish snacks and beverages on the premises. Mrs. Jeanette Farley, 12521 Ethan Avenue, stated that the road could not handle the added traffic, and more boats would be too much for the lake because of the large number boats already there on the weekends. Mr. Kevin Farley concurred with his wife's statements. Mr. Bill Clark felt that fishermen did not use the road on peak hours, and did not feel that Leibel's operation would seriously damage the lake. Myron Johnson, 2134 Park Avenue, said that he had discussed the matter with a number of residents around the lake, and they felt it would be nice to have a place to purchase gas on the lake. He also felt that there would not be that much more traffic on the lake. Mr. Potter said that he approached the city a number of years ago to get No Parking signs in front of his property, with no success. He stated that with the added number of boats, and the limited parking area, he probably�,have to contend with parking problems again. /-,( Bill Hanson stated his concerns regarding off—street parking. The streets would take a beating, and the operation would be catering to people outside of Hugo at the city's expense. Greger stated that 'ze had no objection to V -e boat rental on Br:-ld Eagle Lake, but could agree with spot rezoning — SFE to RB. ilj� The public hearing was closed at 8:15 PM.
