UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENT <br /> <br />Juba gave an update on development taking place throughout the City. The Shores of Oneka Lake is in <br />the process of grading and installing utilities for the first addition, which will include 50 single f amily <br />lots and an accompanying roundabout at the intersection of TH 61 and 159th Street N. Rice Lake <br />Reserve’s third and final addition will be constructed with access to CSAH 8 west of Hanifl Fields <br />Athletic Park. The Hugo Estates expansion has received approval but the developer is waiting to begin <br />construction. The Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) is having discussions relating to the City’s solar <br />farm ordinance, and will begin discussing the future of apartment projects afterward. Commissioner <br />Puleo asked how solar farms are taxed. Juba responded that solar projects are taxed with both <br />commercial/industrial and agricultural portions. Vice-President Klein asked about the type of product <br />being proposed in the Shores of Oneka Lake, and Juba responded that the lots will feature a mixture <br />of single-family homes and twin homes. Premier Banks has applied for the building permit to relocate <br />their Hugo branch, and the Xcel Energy training center is planning for the first phase of their <br />expansion this year. Dart Portable Storage received approval for a Conditional Use Permit <br />amendment and is working with the existing property owner before closing on the site. Staff is <br />continuing to work with Dennis Properties, LLC. on the Downtown Hugo plan proposed for the City- <br />owned property on Egg Lake. <br /> <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Commissioner Klein made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Denaway, to adjourn the meeting at <br />6:11 PM. <br /> <br />Ayes: All <br />Nay: None <br />Motion carried. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted. <br /> <br />Max Gort, Associate Planner
