:a r � MINUTES OF THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE HUGO PLANNING COMMtISSION FEBRUARY 11, 1976 Public Hearing The public hearing regarding the request of Grace Development Co- mpany for rezoning of 91 acres at Foxhill Av. N and Egg Lake Road, from SFE to SFU, and plat approval for Valley View Terrace, Second Addition, opened at 7:10 PM by Chairman Spitzer. The Public Hearing notice was read. Present were Spitzer, Peloquin, Peltier and Ehret, Brian ,Amundson representing the City Engineers office, Charlie Johnson, City Attorney, and Dennis Welsch, representing the Washington County Planning Depart- ment. Marvin La Valle of the City Council, was also in attendance. William Meyer, of Suburban Engineering presented Grace Development's plans for Valley View Terrace, Second Addition. He explained that Grace Development'Company eventually plans to plat the entire parcel similiarly to the presently proposed Second Addition. There is a proposed total of 60 lots - 55 of which meet the 10,400 sq. feet minimum for SFU zoning, and would be serviced by sanitary sewer facilities, and five lots which would be one acre, SFE and would be serviced by on-site sewage systems. He noted that certain lots along Egg Lake Road would probably have drive- way restrictions on them; limiting construction to a manner in which a limited number of driveways would front onto Egg Lake Road. Drainage ditch would be improved at developer's expense, basements would be con- structed at least 1i feet above the 100 year flood plain, houses in area nearest drainage way would be split entry type -ground level slightly be- low basement level - some homes would be built by developer - some lots would be sold without homes on them. Amundson said it appeared that Lots 15-26,, Block 2 would require two to three feet of fill. Meyer said if they are built as walkouts, there would be no need for fill. Amundson said as many driveways along Egg Lake Road as possible should be eliminated. He also said the Eng- ineerls office would like additional soil borings in the roadways and estimation of costs regarding the ditch and indication of who would pay for this, and regarding financing, the ordinance requires an agreement would have to be made with the city for financing the improvements. Johnson said he is concerned with the public right of way border- ing the existing Valley View 1st Addition and the exception to the new plat. He said they will present problems if there are future road imp- rovements along Egg Lake Road. Regarding the exceptions, he feels that property should be attempted to be entered into the plat. It would be reasonable to re -plat the existing lots in Valley View 1st Addition, since there are no homes there, and brine them into conformance with the present plat. From a planning standpoint, he said, it is desireable to have the public utilities in the public right of way rather than on pri- vate easements. Also questioned cul de sacs on Foxhill Avenue North and Geneva Avenue North. If they are temporary, it is his recommendation that lots on the cul de sacs would not be buildable until the cul de sac Is eliminated. Regarding linear park, it would be appropriate to det- ermine what kind of walk -ways, etc., concerned with future maintenance of drainage ditch; what about downstream improvements; does the city want a drainage ditch as part of a park system? Regarding utilities, he felt that the developer and his engineer provide projected construction costs
