RESOLUTION 2019 - <br />APPROVING A VARIANCE FROM THE FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENTS <br />IN THE GENERAL INDUSTRIAL (I-3) ZONING DISTRICT FOR MINNESOTA BUILT <br />HUGO MINNESOTA, LLC, ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5560 152nd STREET <br />NORTH <br />WHEREAS, Minnesota Built Hugo Minnesota, LLC, has requested approval of a variance to <br />allow a building to be 0 feet from the front property line along Highway 61, where 30 feet is <br />required by ordinance for the property legally described as follows: <br />See Attachment <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing <br />and recommends approval and; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOVLED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY <br />OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by Minnesota <br />Built Hugo Minnesota, LLC, for a variance to allow a building to be 0 feet from the front <br />property line along Highway 61, where 30 feet is required by ordinance based on the following <br />findings: <br />1.
