S-0 City Council meeting of 5/2/88 Page b land zoned agricultural, and located on part of the NW 1/4 of Section ?.-_:�, T31N, R21W, Hugo, Minnesota. The property in question is located on the north side of 125th Street approximately 1/2 mile east of Goodview Avenue. Mr. Schuneman proposes to subdivide the tract of land in question into three parcels, ranging in size from 10 to 12.5 acres. A number of years ago, Mr. Schuneman sold Parcels 1 and 2 of the proposed subdivision to the individuals noted on the survey by unrecorded contract for deed. The sale was done without properly subdividing the property and the property owners now cannot record their deeds as the land has not been legally subdivided. In 1979, the city authorized the creation of three 1C) acre lots immediately east of the parcel in question by land division. The parcels proposed met the minimum acreage, and we can see no objection to this subdivision to resolve the problem of getting the deeds properly recorded with the county. We should note again, however, that the use of minor subdivisions to circumvent the formal platting process is not recommended. Mr. Schuneman owns a considerable amount of acreage in this area, and we would recommend that any further subdivision of his property be carefully planned and approved by formal platting. This matter was reviewed by the Hugo Planning Commission at a public hearing on April b, 1988. Following the public hearing, the Hugo Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the minor subdivision and waiver of the formal platting procedures subject to special conditions. Mayor Atkinson questioned the right-of-way width on 125th Street, and asked the city engineer to look: into to insure proper roadway width. Atkinson made motion, Peltier seconded, to approve the final certificate Of survey #5-2-98(b) for Carl and Janet Schuneman, waiver of the formal platting procedure, for the following described parcel of land: Part of the NW 1/4 of Section _?, T.31N, R21W. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. All conditions must be met prior to the stamping of any deeds for recording by the city clerk unless otherwise permitted by Council action. 2. The property lines must be identified on site by the applicant to assure proper setbacks when buildings are to be constructed if required by the building inspector. 3. Driveways or drainage areas must include installation of a minimum 15" diameter corrugated metal culvert in a manner acceptable to the city. 4. All fees relating to this subdivision approval shall be paid by the applicant including the cost of recording documents with Washington County. 5. On-site activities permitted as a result of this subdivision shall not cause the altering of any watercourse, ditch, or drainage system in this area. b. Residences built on this site must be located in the proximity of the soil test area or additional soil tests will be required prior to issuance of a building permit. 7. All parkland dedication fees shall be paid prior to approval of the final survey ($250.00). S. No filling of any of the wetlands identified on Parcels 2 and .35 shall be permitted without first securing approval from the DNR, Division of Waters.
