City Council meeting of AUQUSt 5, 1991 <br />Page _ <br />McAllister made motion, Miron seconded, to approve the variance request of <br />Ted Stahura to construct an over sized 1,0220 square foot attached garage <br />at 9895 16th Street. No commercial activity to be allowed in said <br />garage. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />SPECIAL USE PERMIT - PUD (WEGLEITNER/F;-:ENCO) <br />On behalf of Martin and Sandra Wegleitner, V`.enco Construction Co., has <br />made application to the City of Hugo for a Special Use Permit allowing a <br />Planned Unit Development and variance to develop a 6k).7 acre tract of <br />land into single family and two-family residential lots. The property in <br />question is currently zoned SFE and is located east of Geneva Ave. and <br />both north and south of 145th St. The total number of lots proposed in <br />this development is 115. The City Council received a development plan <br />entitled, Rice Lake Meadows, a Proposed Planned Residential Community, for <br />their review. It would appear that the developers are approaching their - <br />proposal from a density standpoint tat.-:ing into account. the Council's <br />previous concerns regarding the number of dwelling units that would be <br />allowed if the property were rezoned to SFU. In the Fall of 1990, the <br />applicant applied for the rezoning of the property in question from SFE to <br />SFU. The Planning Commission reviewed this request and made a <br />recommendation for approval. The rezoning request was subsequently denied <br />by the City Council, citing density as one of their major concerns. It <br />would appear that the density approach being used, predicated on the <br />position that duplexes are allowed in SFE zoning districts by Special Use <br />Permit, and that if density is a real concern to the City, two dwelling <br />units per acre should be an acceptable proposal. If this proposal moves <br />forward, the developers are required to prepare the necessary documents <br />for the formal platting of this site. Mr. James Merila reviewed the <br />proposed development, and asked that the City Council accept the pari:: land <br />rather than payment of the part: fee. Mayor Stolt man expressed concern <br />with drainage from this project that flows to the east and north. <br />Councilman Miron asked if the drainage was public or .if there were <br />easements. and stated his concern with setbacks and lot widths. Mr. <br />Merila stated that the project would use existing drainage systems. <br />Councilman McAllister was also concerned with drainage from this project, <br />and the fact that there is a considerable amount of marginal soils (12:' <br />soils). Mayor Stolt man ask:ed about the variances needed for the 5' <br />s>etbac..b:: and smaller lot sizes. Administrator Huber stated that the PUD <br />allows for these, but he would not recommend the 5' =...ide yard setback's. <br />Both Mr. Resler of Kenco Construction, and Mr. Merila, asked the Council <br />for "concept approval" prior to their expendinq more funds relative to <br />this project. COLWICilman McAllister stated that he did not have a problem <br />with the concept of the development, but needed questions answered before <br />he could vote on the SUP or PUD. Mayor Stoltzman said his concern wets <br />about drainage, and not the density. Councilman Miron stated h.i=_s concern <br />about the variance for building setbacks. <br />McAllister made motion, Miron seconded, that the application for a SUP be <br />tabled until the following matters are addressed by the city engineer: <br />
