City Council meeting of July 15, 1991 Page 5 FRANk:: PULED LETTER Mr. Frank Puleo of 16155 Forest Blvd, Hugo, Minnesota has written a letter to the Council requesting assistance in resolving a possible problem in getting the necessary permits to construct a pole barn and green house on his property (93008-2950). In igen, the City Council issued a special use permit to construct one greenhouse on the property in question. Since that time however, two additional structures have been built, and our records indicate that no permits were secured from the City. Mr. PUleo is requesting authorization to construct a 54' X 104' pole building to house horses and two 34' X 96' greenhouses on this property. The difficulties in this case arise from the fact that the property is located within the 100 -year flood plain (zone A) of the City. City Ordinance 320-24, Subd. A-, requires that all structures, both temporary and permanent, require special use permits in the flood -way districts of the City. In the building inspector's meetings with Mr. Puleo, he has indicated that he would lige the City Council to waive the following: 1. Special Use Permit review by the Hugo Planning Commission. 2. Waiver of the ten-day waiting period, as required by Chapter 3,20-28, Subd. D1 of the City's Flood Plain Management Ordinance. Waive the requirement that the fee owner of the property sign the application for this special use permit (City records indicate that Patricia Lebens is the fee owner of this property). If the City Council deems it desirable to grant the waivers requested, and issue a special use permit allowing construction of these buildings in a flood way, we would recommend, that at a minimum, approval of this permit be subject to the following special conditions: 1. The use of these buildings be limited to those identified as agricultural for the greenhouses, and a horse barn for the pole building. . Full compliance with Chapter 320-22, Subd. C, of the City's Flood Plain Management Ordinance. 3. Compliance with 3_10-24, Subd. Ate' & of the City's Flood Plain Management Ordinance, with the exception of any waivers granted by the City Council. 4. The applicant shall be responsible for any costs incurred by the City in determining regulatory flood protection elevation, as required in Chapter 320-222, Subd. C2 of the City's FPMO. The property in question i8 described as all that part of the SOUth 1%`' of the north 3 of that part of the southeast 1i4 of Section 8, T31N, R21W, lying east of the right-of-way of the Northern Pacific Railway Co., Washington County, Minnesota. On July 15, 1991, in the morning, the City received a letter from the DNR, under- the signature of Molly Shodeen, stating that Mr. PUleo's property was not within the flood way, but in the flood fringe, and those regulations shall apply. The City Admini5trator noted that the maps the City has indicates that Mr. PUleo's property is within the flood way.
