City Council meeting of October 7, 1991 Page Miron made motion, Jesins4:i seconded, to table this matter until a later Council meeting. All aye. Motion Carried. DRIVEWAY PERMIT (B. SCHROEDER) At the September 16, 1991 regular meeting of the Hugo City Council, Mr. Brian Schroeder requested approval of a driveway permit to access his nine acre parcel of property located in Grant Township, immediately south of Isleton Avenue. At the September 16th meeting, the City Council approved Mr. Schroeder's request for a driveway permit, subject to review by the City Attorney. The Council received a copy of a letter dated September 27, 1991, by City Attorney, Charles Johnson, regarding Mr. Schroeder's request. Although the City Attorney indicates on the second page of his letter that the Council could issue a driveway permit, he also cautioned the City Council with regard to the potential of acknowledging the roadway easement, as shown on Mr. Schroeder's certificate of survey. The difficulty in reviewing and making a recommendation on this request is compounded by the fact that the City's decision may be affected by future development in the area by Mr. Schroeder and his partners, as well as a proposed 27 -lot subdivision under review by the Grant Town Board. Without surveys or preliminary plats of the total area, showing their relationship to the City of Hugo, and the existing roadways to the north, it is difficult to advise the City Council. Considering the limited information available to the City with regard to future development of the area, it would appear that the most likely options for Council consideration would be the four options, as reviewed by the City Administrator. Councilman Miron stated that he had contacted a member of the Grant Town Board, and he in turn contacted another member of the Board, and they stated that Mr. Schroeder's minor subdivision had NOT been approved by the Town Board. There was only Planning Commission concept approval as of this date. It is Mr. Schroeder's responsibility to prove that he had, in fact, received Grant Township approval of the subdivision. Miron made motion, Brunotte seconded, to table this matter until further documentation is provided by Bryon Schroeder proving subdivision approval by the Grant Town Board, and providing additional information requested by the City. VOTING AYE: Brunotte, Miron, Stolt man VOTING NAY: Jesinski Motion Carried. VARIANCE REQUEST - OVER SIZED GARAGE (ELLISON) On behalf of Wayne and Martha Ellison, Keystone Builders Corporation has made application to the City of Hugo for a variance from the 720 square foot garage limitation to construct a 780 square foot attached garage on Lot 2, Block 2, Dellwood Ridge Subdivision (aka 7175 125th Street). The request in question is consistent with Council policy with regard to over sized garages in residential districts.
