City Council meeting of June 17, 1991 Page 4 neighbors, and Northern States Power. It involves a questionable right-of-way and parcel of land owned by Mr. Stanek:, which may or may not be landlocked. It is my understanding that this matter is ready to go to court and that the parties involved may have reached a settlement that will provide Mr. Stanek access to his property via private easements. As a part of a Settlement Agreement with Northern States Power dating back: to 1984, the City was paid approximately $7,000 to cover its out-of-pocF::et expenses and help resolve this matter. Approximately $1,600 of that payment remains, and it was the City's intent to use that money to share in the Settlement Agreement. McAllister made motion, Stolt man seconded, that the City of Hugo enter into the Settle Agreement, as recommended by the City Attorney and the City's insurance company, and that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to sign proposed Settlement Agreement, if successfully negotiated. All aye. Motion Carried. AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT (DAN SANTANNI) Mayor Stolt man has requested that the Amended Special Use Permit approved for Dan Santanni in December of 1989, be reconsidered by the City Council. Mr. Dan Santanni of 1019 W. Sherren St., Roseville, Minnesota, made application to the City of Hugo for a Special Use Permit to construct a 40' X 54' pole barn in an agricultural zoning district, prior to the construction of a principal residence. This action by the City Council to approve the Special Use Permit was contrary to the Planning Commission's unanimous recommendation for denial. The Planning Commission's reason for denial was Mr. Santanni's refusal to provide a site plan and other information necessary for the proper review of his request. Following approval of the Special Use Permit by the City Council, Mr. Santanni refused to accept the conditions of the permit and in November applied for an Amended Special Use Permit requesting a larger building and asking the council to drop some of the special conditions. The Amended Special Use Permit request was referred to the Hugo Planning Commission for a public hearing at their November 21, 1989 meeting. At this meeting the Planning Commission recommended approval of the 50' X 81' accessory storage building, as well as amendments to the special conditions. The Planning Commission recommended deletion of the first condition and changed the language in items 5, 6, and 7. This matter was then reviewed by the City Council on December 4, 1989 at which time action was taken by the City Council approving the SUP request of Mr. Dan Santanni as recommended by the Planning Commission. Following Council approval, Mr. Santanni refused to accept the conditions of permit approval and has not pursued construction of the structure in question. Mr. Santanni appeared before the Council, and stated that he knew he needed a SUP, but did not feel there should be any conditions attached to it. Councilman Miron felt that Mr. Santanni had been "misled", and proceeded to interpret different sections of the codes that he felt proved Mr. Santanni did not need a SUP. It was Miron's opinion that the Mr. Santanni was operating a farm, and needed only site plan approval. Councilman Jesinsk-i felt that the issue had become very confusing, and suggested that the matter be tabled for further consideration.
