/4/.2 - City 4/.2. City Council meeting of November 6, 1989 Page 6 structure will be in compliance with the restrictive covenants and City ordinances. Although the Hugo Planning Commission was very reluctant to recommend approval of this request, said recommendation was based on the following factors: 1. The temporary accessory structure is already in place. 2. Requiring it's removal, and storage of the Bonsai trees elsewhere, may create a hardship for Mr. Hampel. 3. Mr. Hampel has agreed to provide a financial guarantee to assure removal of the temporary structure in the spring of 1990. 4. Property owners adjacent to the site in question indicated no objections to the structure as it currently exists. 5. Any future accessory structures on site will be of the same general appearance and exterior materials as the principal residence. The Planning Commission indicated that they did not feel that a conventional -type greenhouse would be acceptable in this type of residential neighborhood, and would not look favorably on similar types of requests. The City staff also indicated it's concern of the precedents that might be set allowing this type of structure in an established residential neighborhood even though it is proposed for a very limited time. Based on the five (5) reasons of approval made by the Planning Commission, the City Council reluctantly made the following motion: McAllister made motion, Vail seconded, to approve the temporary Special Use Permit request of Steven Hartmann and Robert Hampel for the construction of a temporary accessory storage building on their property located at 5075 124th Street North (Lot 23, Block 1, Lat::e Air Estates) according to the submitted site plan. Approval is subject to the following special conditions: 1. The site in question be used only to grow and house the Bonsai trees as a hobby, and not as a commercial operation. 2. The temporary building must be removed by June 1, 1990, and the applicant will post a $2,000 letter of credit good through Jelly 1, 1990 or make a cash deposit with the City of Hugo, to assure removal of the temporary structure. 3. The applicant shall pay double permit fees as a result of proceeding with this project before securing the required permits. 4. No sale of Bonsai trees will be permitted on the site in question. 5. No public or group viewing of the trees will be done at 5024 124th St., Hugo, Minnesota. 6. No on -street parking will be permitted as it relates to this permit. 7. No advertising will be permitted on site. 8. The permanent structure, to be constructed in the spring of 1990, be of the same material and appearance as the principal residence, and comply with City ordinances. 9. This temporary structure shall be properly maintained at all times. 10. Lighting in the temporary structure shall be limited to reasonable hours, and said lighting will not be on when the owners are not in the structure.
