All aye. Motion Carried. SPECIAL USE PERMIT (B. BERNIN) Mr. Bruce Bernin has made application to the City of Hugo for a special use permit which would authorize the seasonal sale of Christmas trees on his property at 6540 Greene Ave. No., Hugo, Minnesota (aka Gov't Lot 5, Sec. 16, T31N, R21W, Washington County, MN). The property is located at the southwest end of Oneka Lake, adjacent to the public access. The site plan submitted shows that there are six, different Christmas tree fields, in addition to the home and out buildings, owned by Mr. Bernin. The method of operation would involve customers driving to the site, choosing, and cutting their own Christmas trees. This request is for a seasonal operation running from November 23 to Dec. 24 of each year. Mr. Bernin is requesting authorization to install signs on his property at two locations as reflected on the site plan. He is also requesting that other signs be authorized on the property of others. In reviewing this request, the City staff can see no problem with the plan as submitted, as long as activities on site are limited to those requested by the applicant. With regard to the off-site signs proposed, the applicant has not indicated the size or location of the signs, so it is difficult for the City staff to comment on whether or not they would be in compliance with City ordinances. The permanent sign locations do not appear to present a problem. It should be noted that temporary signs are allowed in residential districts if they do not exceed 12 sq. ft. in size, and are not left for a period that exceeds 30 days. It should also be pointed out that advertising signs are not permitted within 100 ft. of a residential zoning district. The Hugo Planning Commission recommended approval of this SUP for the sale of Christmas trees at 6540 Greene Avenue North, subject to special conditions.
