City Council meeting of February 6, 1989 Page 2 guarantee that a subdivision approval will follow unless all conditions c the subdivision ordinance are complied with. Soil conditions and drainage plans must be acceptable for development of the area. The original plat of Hugo Meadows was designed to provide road access for expansion to the area in question. The Hugo Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning request. John Johnson, Merila & Assoc., and Ken Briggs, Harstad & Companies, were present at the Council meeting to discuss the rezoning request and their future plans for subdivision of the property into 89 lots' Mr' Johnson stated that even though SFU allows for 10,400 square foot lots, the majority of parcels would be 6/10's of an acre because of property constraints (wetlands, woods, etc.). Mayor Atkinson stated that he would like to see the future subdivision of the property provide for road extensions to the south and west for possible continuation of roads and future development. Vail made motion, Olson seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 89-255, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 320 OF THE HUGO ZONING ORDINANCE ENTITLED "ZONING" BY AMENDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF THE DESCRIBED REAL PROPERTY. VOTING AYE: McAllister, Jesinski, Olson, Vail, Atkinson VOTING NAY: NONE Motion Carried. RAILROAD CROSSING WARNING SIGN The city received a letter from Washington County regarding the city's obligation to provide railroad crossing warning signs' The letter is somewhat self explanatory, however, city policy is that the Council authorizes the installation of all traffic and regulatory warning signs in the City of Hugo. Atkinson made motion, Jesinski, authorizing city staff to authorize the installation of warning signs at the railroad crossings at 125th Street and 140th Street in the City of Hugo' All aye' Motion Carried' RECIPROCAL FIRE SERVICE AGREEMENT The City of Marine has requested the City of Hugo enter into a Reciprocal Fire Service Agreement with them' We now have such an agreement with New Scandia Township, and both agreements are identical with the exception of IN CASE OF EMERGENCY not included in the first WHEREAS in the Marine agreement. Councilman McAllister was concerned with the following wording in Paragraph 1, Page 1: "or within the limits of any territory in which the undersigned have contracted" because of possible additional costs to the city's taxpapers. After further discussion of this matter, it was determined that because of the ability to withdraw from the contract in 3 days, that the city could react in the event of abuse of the agreement' If approved by the city, the city administrator will return the agreement along with an accompanying letter stating the city's concerns.
