Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 1, 2022 <br />Page 8 of 9 <br /> <br /> <br />feasible. When the property to the west was developed, the City received right-of-way for half <br />the road, so it made sense for them to only complete their half of the right-of-way. Juba <br />reviewed comments from the Planning Commission saying they were okay with the proposed <br />portion of Oneka Parkway being built. <br /> <br />Larry Alm from Southwind Builders, 5960 Highway 61, White Bear Township, said he tried to <br />protect the wetlands as best as he could. They worked with WSB to figure out how to access <br />those for irrigation. He said there was plenty of space to retain water on the site. He was not <br />sure who the builders would be. There would be no slab on grade, and there would be a <br />combination of full and lookout basements. <br /> <br />Miron asked Juba how much more the distance would be to connect Oneka Parkway to 165th <br />Street. Rachel replied the it would be about 500 feet more to connect. <br /> <br />Strub asked about the wetland in playground area. Alm replied to would be best to increase size <br />of Lot 14 and include the wetland with it. He said the wetland was mainly grass, and would only <br />have water from the immediate area. <br /> <br />Klein asked about the house sizes and how far apart they would be. Alm replied they would be <br />15 feet apart. Juba added that most developments that have 65 foot lots with a PUD have <br />received flexibility from the lot setbacks. <br /> <br />Petryk asked about lots being built up. Alm replied they would use the dirt from digging the <br />ponds. The homes would be a mix of full basements, lookouts, and walkouts. <br /> <br />Petryk asked if he had done any developments with water reuse systems. Alm responded that he <br />had not but can see it would work, and he hoped they were sizing the ponds correctly. <br /> <br />Weidt talked about product having changed over the years to smaller yard space. He said he had <br />no problem with lot sizes and setbacks. He said it would be nice to have the road to 165th Street <br />but he was fine with what is being proposed. <br /> <br />Alm agreed that not many people seem to use their yards, and he thought the park would be <br />utilized, and the trail connection would help. <br /> <br />Petryk asked about how the Parks Commission would feel if the wetland in the park was <br />removed. Juba responded that it was not a quality wetland, but they would continue to talk about <br />it. <br /> <br />National Night Out Tuesday, August 2, 2022 <br /> <br />City Administrator Bryan Bear reminded Council they had scheduled a meeting to attend <br />National Night Out events on Tuesday, August 2, 2022.
