Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 3, 2022 Page 7 of 9 Richard Hogan stated that no one is directly on the road. He also expressed disappointment at Pulte Homes saying the City should use extreme discretion if considering Pulte as a developer in the City. Al Czaia,15362 Freedom Drive North, said he has lived in the City for three years. He previously worked for St. Paul where they assess for 100% of their projects. He asked if they would be getting a bill in mail. Erichson replied the Finance Director would be sending a mailer to inform property owners about assessments. There were no other comments and Weidt closed the public hearing. There were two written objections to go on the record. One was from Debra Schreiner stating her objection to the assessment. Another letter was from James Donaldson, 1540 Foster Drive North, objecting to the assessment stating extensive damage was the result of new construction, and those benefiting from the road should pay for it. Miron talked about the costs of the project and pointed out the traffic signal and trail maintenance did not increase the assessed cost to the residents. Klein asked about curves in the road and the reason they are there. Erichson explained that curves are often a strategy to reduce the speeds on the road. Miron talked about how the assessment could have been applied to the HOA, but the feedback from previous meetings was that the preferred way was to assess property owners. He asked if that was Erichson’s recollection, and Erichson replied that it was. Klein made motion, Petryk seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2022-65 ADOPTING ASSESSMENTS FOR THE 2022 ONEKA PARKWAY IMPROVEMENTS. All Ayes. Motion carried. Downtown Hugo Preliminary Plat and PUD Community Development Director Rachel Juba explained Dennis Properties, LLC, was requesting approval of a preliminary plat and planned unit development (PUD) to subdivide and master plan property located on the west side of Egg Lake, east of TH61, to allow construction of five buildings for a total of approximately 63,000 square feet. The PUD general plan was proposed for the entire 4.2 acres of the property and would replace the previous PUD General Plan that was approved in 2020. The property is owned by the City of Hugo, and there was a purchase agreement with the applicant. Juba reviewed the plan explaining there was a mix of uses including a restaurant, retail space and offices. The plan also included a waterfront boardwalk. The preliminary plat included four lots with building on each lot. An owners’ association would be created.
