This meeting was be open to the <br />public, and will be televised. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />SITE PLAN APPROVAL (JOHN OR FRANCIS L_UTZ) <br />On behalf of Francis and Lucille Lutz, Mr. John Lutz has made application <br />to the City of Hugo for site plan approval to construct a new residential <br />dwelling on the property described as the NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section <br />15, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota. The reason for Council <br />review is that the property in question currently accommodates a single <br />family residence, and agricultural districts do not permit more than one <br />single family dwelling unit on a lot. Mr. Lutz has stated that they would <br />like to continue to reside in the existing dwelling until the new one is <br />constructed. Once the new home is constructed, Mr. Lutz has stated that <br />the existing building will remain on site and will be used for farm <br />purposes, but not for human habitation. The City of Hugo addressed a <br />similar request approximately two years ago, but the applicant provided <br />financial security to guarantee that the older dwelling would be moved <br />from the site within a specified period of time after a certificate of <br />occupancy had been issued on the new dwelling. Typically, requests of <br />this nature are accompanied by a request to subdivide the property to <br />accommodate more than two dwelling units. If the City Council is <br />receptive to this request, the Citi; staff recommends that the property <br />owner enter into an agreement with the City, prepared by the City <br />Attorney, guaranteeing that the older dwelling, to be used for farm use, <br />would not be used for human habitation. Approval would also be subject tc <br />compliance with the site plan submitted and the construction of a <br />satisfactory on-site sewer system, which complies with City ordinances. <br />John Lutz was present at the meeting, and stated that he wanted to leave <br />all options open as to the future use of the old house. <br />Miron made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the site plan for John <br />Lutz to construct a new residential dwelling on property described as the <br />NW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of Section 15, T31N, R1W, Washington County, MN. <br />Approval is based on the understanding that an on-site sewer system, <br />meeting codes, is installed, and Mr. Lutz has 19 months in which to <br />determine the status of the older residence on site, to be accomplished in <br />one--of-three ways: <br />1. Designate the older residence as a farm accessory buildinq with no <br />human habitation allowed. <br />?. Removal of the older residence from the site. <br />3. If the older residence is to be used as a single family dwelling, the <br />property would have to be subdivided consistent with City subdivision <br />regulations. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />
