Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 3, 2022 Page 8 of 9 The applicant was asking for PUD flexibility from the shoreland ordinance regulations, parking regulations, and minimum rear yard setback requirements. In exchange, the landscaping plan, design standards, and architecture would exceed ordinance standards and a main street atmosphere would be created in the Central Business District. There would be access to Egg Lake and improvements to the water and habitat on the lake. Juba reviewed the comments received by the DNR who stated there would be unacceptable impacts to the lake and no benefits. Staff felt, since this site was being redeveloped, there would be improvements and no negative impacts. Juba stated the EDA considered the application last month and there would be more to come as talks continue. At its September 8, 2022, meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the request. There were two people that spoke during the public hearing with questions and concerns on parking, stormwater management, and shoreland regulation flexibility. The Planning Commission agreed the project met the requirements to approve the applications. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the preliminary plat and PUD, subject to the conditions listed in the resolutions. Denny Trooien, owner of Dennis Properties, stated he had been working on this for a couple years. He said he enjoyed working with staff and asked for favorable approval. Strub asked about phases and if this first phase could stand on its own, or will it look like they started and never finished. Denny replied he was still working on those details with Rachel and are in discussions on how the phasing will go.
