is February 2, 1987 8.D. Special Use Permit (Craig Elsner) Craig and Lynn Elsner have made application for Site Plan Approval to construct a metal pole building in an agricultural district for his personal use. The property in question is 10 acres in size, and is generally described as 8776 130th Street North (Section 26, T31N, R21W). The building proposed would be 40' in width and approximately 60' in length. Mr. Elsner has indicated his request is to accommodate the storage of his family car, tractor, hay baler, haw mower, and other farm equipment on the site in question. Because the submitted site plan was not dimensioned, it was difficult to determine the appropriate setbacks and the number of buildings actually on the site at this time. The site plan indicates the approximate location of the proposed building and the 30 x 80 hay.barn. Mr. Elsner also noted a building he is going to tear down if he is permitted to construct the building in question. The municipal code requires that in an agri- culture zone, the maximum square footage of a farm building and accessory storage is 3600 square feet for property less than 20 acres in size. Because the request of Mr. Elsner would allow for the farm building and storage in excess of 3600 square feet, he is required to secure a special Use Permit to allow for the additional building square footage. The Hugo Planning Commission unanimously approved the Special Use Permit and site plan submited, subject to certain con- ditions, at their January 28, 1987 regular meeting. Motion made by Olson, Vail seconded, to approve the Special Use Permit for Craig Elsner allowing for the construction of a 40 x 60 pole barn, subject to the fol- lowing conditions: 1. The total square footage of the accessory buildings not exceed 4800 square ft. 2. An approved, fully -dimensioned site plan, indicating the exact location of the building in question, be submitted at the time the building permit is issued. 3. The buildings on site be used only for purposes permitted in an AG zone. All aye. Motion Carried. 10.A.
