City Council meeting of 4/3/89 <br />Page 8 <br />Atkinson made motion, Olson seconded, that the City of Hugo accept the <br />auditor report for 1988 and the auditors file the necessary copies with <br />the appropriate governmental agencies. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />As per Council direction, the city staff has met with area residents and <br />Mr. Thomas Frampton regarding possible code violations relating to his <br />nursery/landscaping business located south of Sunset Lake and west of <br />Round Lake. The property in question involves approximately 30 acres, and <br />is controlled by a Special Use Permit and site plan approved in 1977, as <br />well as other municipal ordinances. In reviewing the file on this SUP and <br />activities taking place on site, it appears that Mr' Frampton is in <br />violation of city ordinances with regard to the following: <br />1. Advertising signs have been located on site without securing the <br />proper permits from the city' <br />2- On-site dumping facilities are present and being operated by Mr. <br />Frampton in violation of city ordinances and county public health <br />laws. <br />3. There is inoperable equipment and other refuse located on site. <br />In discussing this matter with the parties involved in this complaint, it <br />would appear that there are other areas of concern: <br />1' Commercial activities of the type present at nurseries and landscaping <br />businesses is not conducive to residential areas, and should be <br />limited to commercial, conservancy, and agricultural areas. <br />2. The owner of this business operates equipment on site at unreasonable <br />hours on weekdays and on weekends not allowing for the peace and <br />quietude of residents adjacent to the site. <br />3. Occasionally, commercial vehicles and equipment involved in Mr' <br />Frampton's business do inadvertently use Ingersoll Avenue for access <br />to his site which is in violation of the SUP and amended SUP. <br />It does not appear that a mutually acceptable agreement can be worked out <br />between Mr. Frampton and the complaitants in this matter, and the best <br />possible course of action may be to require Mr. Frampton to correct the <br />municipal code violations and request his cooperation with regard to <br />keeping commercial vehicles off of Ingersoll Avenue and operating <br />equipment on site during reasonable hours. <br />Atkinson made motion, Vail seconded, that this matter be tabled until the <br />City Council meeting of May 1, 1989 and that Mr. Frampton be sent a letter <br />requesting his presence at the meeting. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />Olson made motion, Vail seconded, to adjourn at 8:30 PM. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />Mary Ann Creager City Clerk <br />' - <br />
