Motion Carried. 7.0 Ordinance Requiring Building Identification As per Council direction, the city staff revised the ordinance requiring building identification as prepared by Fire Chief, Ron Istvanovich. The ordinance revision reflects the same basic language as originally proposed; however, it allows property owners three different options regarding property address identification as re- quested by the City Council. The revised ordinance has been reviewed by the Fire Chief, and copies were sent to the city attorney for his review and comment. After a discussion regarding the proposed ordinance, it was determined that the key words of the ordinance were "clearly visible from a public roadway." which covers any possible obstruction or situation. The only changEE in the proposed ordinance were the removal of the "etc." and compliance with the ordinance by January 1, 1988 rather than within 180 days of its passage and publication. Potts made motion, Olson seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 1987-244, AN ORDINANCE RE- QUIRING IDENTIFICATION NUMBERING ON BUILDINGS AND RESIDENCES, PROVIDING FOR COMPLIANCE AND PRESCRIBING PENALTIES. VOTING AYE: Potts, Olson, Atkinson, VOTING NAY: Peltier Motion Carried. 8.B Preliminary Subdivision Plat (Harstad Companies) On behalf of the Harstad Companies, Mr. Keith Harstad has made application to the City of Hugo to subdivide a 24.75 acre tract of land into 48 single family dwelling lots. This request was initiated by the Harstad Companies the summer of 1986 with sketch plans and preliminary plats subsequently being recommended for approval by the Hugo Planning Commission after the required public hearing. At the direction of the City Council, an engineering feasibility report was prepared at the May 4, 1987 Council meeting. At that same meeting, action was taken recommending that the Harstad Companies complete a preliminary plat and submit it to the Planning Commission for review and a recommendation. In their review of the preliminary plat, the Planning Commission questioned the advisibility of taking the parkland dedication in lieu of the $6,000.00 parkland dedication fee. The Planning Commission did, however, make a recommendation consistent with previous Council action to accept parkland dedication with the understanding that the site be located where it can be expanded in the future to serve the entire community as opposed to just a high -maintenance, neighborhood park. The Planning Commission also recommended that any provisions for utility extensions be addressed in the developer's agreement, and that the storm water ponding area and identified wetland be accepted only if approved by the RCWD and the DNR. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to compliance with 18 special conditions. We would recommend that if the City Council approves the preliminary plat, as submitted or amended, that it be followed by direction to the Harstad Companies, to proceed with design of a utilities plan to meet city standards, and the approval of the city engineer.
