City Council meeting of November 4, 1991 Page 5 Miron made motion, Stolt man seconded, to approve the variance request of Lisa and Walter Boerum of 8521 155th Street to construct a 24' x 26' pole barn 34' from the rear property line. City ordinance requires a 50' setback. Approval is subject to the proposed building being used for residential purposes only. All aye. Motion Carried. SPECIAL USE PERMIT (KRUSE Doug and Judith Kruse of 12616 Ingersoll Ave., have made application to the City of Hugo for the construction of a 26' X 36' pole barn on their property identified as follows: The north 219' of the south 667' of the west 486.16' of Government Lot 5, Section ._,5, T31N, R21W, Washington Co., Minnesota. The property consists of approximately 2.5 acres, and is zoned RR2. The site is located east of Ingersoll Ave. near- Sunset Lake. The applicants currently reside in the home located on the west side of Ingersoll Ave. adjacent to the site in question. Said site currently accommodates a 26' X 38' building for accessory storage. Chapter 320-4, Sub. P, limits the amount of accessory storage to 1800 sq. ft. in this zoning district, and the proposed building would increase the amount of accessory storage to 1,924 sq. ft. In the 1970's, the City of Hugo issued a special use permit allowing the construction of an accessory building on the lot in question to serve the principal residence. In the early 1980's, the City authorised the installation of a septic system on the lot in question to serve the residence identified as 12616 Ingersoll Ave. No. It would appear that over the years the City has treated the two lots in question as a single lot for the purpose of providing accessory building and services to the residence on Sunset LaE:e. If the City Council moves to approve this request, the City staff recommends that it be made clear that the two parcels are being treated as a single tract of land for development purposes, and that the two parcels be combined as a single parcel, if permitted by the Washington County Auditor's Office. The Hugo Planning Commission considered this matter at their meeting of October 23, 1991, and recommended approval of the request subject to special conditions. The following comments were made at said PC meeting: Mr. Kruse stated that his tax records indicate the property is one parcel. He intends to store an old boat, cars, and other personal items in the proposed structure. Mr. Pat Meehan, who owns property adjacent to the KrUae property, stated that the existing building is being used for auto repair, and there is concern that an additional buildinq will increase the auto repair wore: and cause additional late night noise, odor, and fire hazards in the area. Mr. Meehan stated that although there are numerous veh*_cles brought onto the site for repairs, he had no objection to the building if it wer�a to be used to store all the miscellaneous items strewn about the property. Mr. Kruse, present at the meeting, stated that the photos, as submitted by Mr. Meehan, do riot indicaie what exists today. Mr. Kruse also stated that he has a full-time job, and does not run an auto body business on his property. He also si_ated that Mr. Meehan operates Withrow Trucking from his property, and he shouldn't be complaining about his neighbor. Miron made motion, Brunotte seconded, to approve the request of Mr. Doug Kruse of 12616 Ingersoll Avenue for a Special Use Permit to construct a
