August 18, 1986 5.5 Bob Bramstedt - Rezoning and Special Use Permit 95 Mr. Bramstedt and his partner, Tom Connelly, were to discuss their proposal to rezone approximately 22 acres from AG to RB. The property abuts the RB district to the east of another parcel to be purchased. The property is to be used for retail sale, repair, and interior/exterior storage. Ultimately, the owners are planning on the con- struction of a 60 x 200 building for these uses. Kuusisto made an on-site inspection of the Existing septic system, and it appears to be adequate for the number of employees in the business. If the business should grow, an expension of the existing system would be needed. Mr. Bramstedt stated that they contacted Washington County to have their two parcels combined, and the Council and attorney questioned whether this could be done at that level. Mayor McAllister felt that Bramstedt would need to apply for resubdivision. The Council touched lightly on what type of screening and its location for exterior storage. It was determined that this matter could be addressed at the time of application for Site Plan Approval. MO'T'ION: Potts made motion, Peltier seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 1986-235, AN ORDI- NANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 320 OF THE HUGO CITY CODE ENTITLED "ZONING" BY AMENDING THE ZONING CLASSIFICATION OF THE DESCRIBED REAL PROPERTY. All aye. Motion Carried. SPECIAL USE PERMIT Mr. Bramstedt stated that he has a deadline until October 1 in which to get his building started so that he can make use of the winter storage season. Bramstedt was informed of the items required for Site Plan Approval in the RB district, and was told to complete the necessary paperwork, and make application for his Building Permit. The Council discussed the requirement for screening of the exterior storage and it was the consensus that fencing would be preferred instead of screening with trees. Also required - letter or permit from RCWD, blacktop parking lot, and subject to annual review. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Peltier seconded, that the Building Inspector be directed to inspect the building plans from Bob Bramstedt and have the permit availabe the evening of September 2, 1986, if the City Council votes to approve the SUP and Site Plan. All aye. Motion Carried. 5.6 Keith Harstad - Sketch Plan Approval John Johnson, Merila and Assoc., and Dick Widell, Harstad and Assoc., were present to discuss the sketch plan and answer any questions. Harstad is proposing the development of 48 lots, including the previously approved nine lots, to be known as Hugo Meadows. The plan included three holding ponds to handle runoff from the property, and not place a burden on the ditch to the south. Warren Arcand was present and stated that the ditch was already too high, and felt the development would have a further negative impact. Mr. Johnson said that that was the reason for the holding ponds. McAllister suggested Mr. Arcand keep in touch with the RCWD and express his concerns to them, as Hugo is not in the water management business. There was discussion on the easements along the holding ponds and who would regu- late and maintain the waterways. Parkland dedication, whether to have money allocated or retain parkland, was discussed. It was the consensus of the Council that the receive land, develop the park, but also reserve the right to require money in the event the plans for a park did not materialize. The Council decided to leave the
