77 City Council meeting of July 5, 1988 Page 3 MINOR SUBDIVISION REQUEST (H. JOHNSON) Howard and Viona Johnson have made application to the City of Hugo for a minor subdivision and waiver of the formal platting requirements to subdivide a 17.4 acre tract of land into two parcels. Currently the tract in question is identified as two separate parcels as per the Washington County Auditor. There is a home on proposed Tract B and a pole barn on proposed Tract A. It is the city's understanding that Mr. Johnson intends to sell Tract A to Linda Lillie for construction of a home on said site. There is a small portion of wetland on the east portion of the site, and the applicants have indicated they do not intend to disturb this area. The property in question is RR -2 requiring a minimum 5 acre tract for development. City staff can see no reason to deny this application, however, we could not recommend dedication of a 66' road from 130th Street to Tract A in that it does not conform to city policy unless a 5 -ton bituminous road is constructed. City policy would allow Mr. Johnson to convey an easement to the owner of Tract A permitting access to 130th Street. This, however, would prohibit the future subdivision of Tract A. The entire parcel of land in question is generally described as the South E334.8 feet of the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 26, T -1N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota excepting therefrom the West 417.4 feet thereof. This property is currently subdivided into two tracts of land, one containing a 4.82 acres that is landlocked. The applicants wish to resubdivide the property and provide a minimum 70 foot driveway easement on the easterly portion of Tract B providing access to Tract A. The Hugo Planning Commission reviewed this request at their public hearing on June 22, 1988, and recommended approval of the subdivision and waiver of formal platting requirements subject to special conditions. Potts made motion, Peltier seconded, to approve the final certificate of survey #7-5-88 for Howard and Viona Johnson, waiver of the formal platting procedure, for the following described property: The South 834.8 feet of the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 26, T31N, R21W, Washington County, Minnesota. Approval is subject to the following conditions: 1. All recommendations of the Rice Creek Watershed District or other governmental agencies be complied with. 2. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant and the cost of recording documents with Washington County. 3. The developer shall pay the fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of survey approval ($125.00). 4. All conditions of this approval must be met prior to the stamping of any deeds for recording by the city clerk unless otherwise permitted by Council action. 5. The property lines must be identifed on site to assure proper setbacks when buildings are to be constructed if required by the building inspector. 6. Any commercial or industrial use of said property not specifically permitted in this zoning district shall be strictly prohibited. 7. Driveway or drainage areas must include the installation of a minimum 15" diameter corrugated metal culvert in a manner acceptable to the city. 8. On-site activities permitted as a result of this subdivision shall not cause the altering of any watercourse, ditch, drainage system or protected wetlands.
