137 4. Applicant has made no effort to secure permits to construct a permanent dwelling on this property. 5. We have no knowledge of how an address was assigned to this property when there is no approved structure on site. It is our understanding that currently there is a tent, a bus, and a self-contained camper trailer on site in which Mr. Dotte has been residing for several months. We have requested that Mr. Dotte put his plans in writing and make some firm commitments with regard to the temporary nature of his request. In light of Mr. Dotte's failure to do so, we cannot recommend approval of this application as submitted. Mr. Dotte stated he intends to use the temporary mobile home over the winter and plans to start building his home in the spring of 1988. He has obtained the building permit applications and has his plans available for review. Mr. Dotte has a septic tank ordered and would have this installed for use with the tempory home and the permanent home. The question of hooking up to the Metro Sewer line was raised but because the property is not in the Metro Urban Services Area this would not be possible. Mr. Dotte stated that the address used at the site was provided by Mr. Crever, the building inspector. Mr. Art Munger was present and expressed his concern that the Dotte's would be operating a business from their property. He stated that neighbors have continued to upgrade the appearance of their property and are concerned that a commercial operation would deteriorate the area. Motion made by Atkinson, seconded by Potts to table the application of Mr. James Dotte for a temporary mobile home until November 16, 1987 and the five items listed above are addressed. AYE: Potts, Vail, Atkinson NAY: Peltier Howard Kuusisto submitted a report stating the Hugo Meadows Subdivision was ahead of schedule and that curb and gutter may be installed this fall. The Homestead Drive Project plans and specs will be available for the November 16, 1987 agenda. The project will most likely be postposed until the spring of 1988. It was the concensus of the council that the Planning Commission should remain at seven members to secure a variety of opinions to address the applications that come before the City. The clerk's office is directed to publish notices of vacancy in the Forest Lake Times and the White Bear Press encouraging anyone interested to apply at Hugo City Hall. It was brought to the attention of Mr. Potts that there are currently bleachers on site at the Texan Bar. There is some interest in the purpose of the bleachers if they have no SUP for the activities previously proposed.
