RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING TRAFFIC REGULATORY SIGNS As per Council direction, the Washington County Sheriff's Office has reviewed potential traffic hazards on Ethan/Everton Avenues north of 121st Street. The sheriff's department did not feel that the current situation was extremely hazardous; however, they felt that providing curve signs, and reducing the speed limit in that area to 20 mph, may help to prevent future accidents. Any action by the Council regarding installation of traffic regulatory signs at this location should be done by Council resolution. Mayor Atkinson directed city staff to submit the appropriate resolution for Council consideration. REZONING REQUEST (HERITAGE DEVELOPMENT) Heritage Development of Minnesota, on behalf of Vern Peloquin, Mary Christianson, and Philip Greenwaldt, have made application to the City of Hugo for the rezoning of three parcels of land to single family urban. It is the intent of Heritage Development to assemble approximately 47 acres for residential development in an area southwest of Oneka Lake and east of Geneva Ave. on Oneka Lake blvd. The site in question is currently zoned SFE and Conservancy. The developers are desirous of ening SFU for development purposes. Parcel A abutts SFU zones to the east and south, Parcel b abutts SFU zones on the west and north, and Parcel C abutts SFU zones on the west. The developers understand that if the sites are improved to accommodate single family residentail dwellings, they will need to extend utilities and conform with the city's subdivision regulations at the time of plat review. The proposed sites are within the urban service area of the City of Hugo. In that part of the project area located within a floodplain :one b, we would wart to clarify that approving the rezoning of property does not necessarily imply that the city will allow subdivision of all of the tract: in question to 10,A00 sL ft. lots. The development in question appears to be consistent with the comprehensive plan and abutts on other districts; zoned for single f�imily urban. The Hugo Planning Commission unanimously recommended apprc:)v<--.6. of this rezoning request after holding the required r:;ublic hearing.
