1 Planning Commission and Council -2- February 25 , 1974 City of Hugo, Minnesota Our final recommendations wi l l be made Thursday night . The procedure should be as follows : - 1 . The Planning Commission should select from the alternatives avail - able vail - able and make a recommendation to the City Council . Subject to the advice of the City Attorney, I would suggest that the Planning Commission could recommend preservation of the rural areas at an "adequate" (2 1 /2 acres or more ) minimum lot size but leave the final decision (2 1 /2, 3, 5, 10, 20, etc. ) to their judgement following another public hearing on the matter. 2. Following a recommendation to the City Council , another public hearing should be scheduled since the last hearing was not con- clusive; this may be a hearing conducted jointly by the Council , and Planning Commission . 3. Following the hearing , the Council may adopt a zoning ordinance and district map based upon its own judgement of the public policy requirements for the Community. Any further "planning" costs are totally controlled by the Community; it is simply a matter of how long you wish to consider the decision which must be made and how much you wish us to participate and assist. Assuming all goes well , the only "planning" costs yet to be involved are as follows : a ) Our attendance at the February 28th meeting . b ) Such other meetings you may wish us to attend including the public hearing . c) Any final revisions you may wish to the zoning district map. d ) Printing costs (maps for public hearing ) . e) Printing costs of ordinance and map as may be adopted by the City Council ( it is possible that such volume printing could be done most economically by your official newspaper) . Enclosed herewith is a small map indicating our recommendations in general which deal with the basic policy issues involved . Large scale , detailed maps will be presented at the meeting with copies available to take with you . Large scale maps have not been mailed to you due to the bulk and cost involved . Our recommendation for zoning district minimum lot sizes are as follows : . Subd . A. DISTRICTS . (As recommended by Carl R. Dale ) .
