MARCH 4, 1974 -� Y � Attorney Johnson Stated he couldn't agree with Pyr_ . Crawford' s interpre- tation of Ordinance # 1 not providing for any special use permits. The ordinance regarding non conforming use has been iterpreted by the Town Board and Village as having ability to grant special use permits. Ordi- nance #6 was passed after the passage of the zoning ordinance, and does provide for trapshooting by a non profit organization. The owners apply here as a corporate social organization. Don Lease mentioned the attorney should have more time to look into the matter regarding the ordinances. Irene Leroux mentioned the club would be a rig taxpayer, if the special use permit were granted, it would be subject to annual review, and the conditions would be very strict. Nr. Mikeworth, the attorney for the gun club, stated if this would end up in court, the club would bear the brunt of it. Motion made by Lease, seconded by Crever to table this subject until the April 1st. meeting. Motion carried. Next item on the agenda was the question of lowering the Arcand X8000.00 deposit. The contractor had requested to be paid part of his amount owing, and in order to pay him, the Arcand's needed some of their deposit returned. LaValle mentioned he would rather have a performance bond or a letter of credit and let them have their money. Lease stated to the Arcands that if their road was not right in the spring, the city would have to use their money to fix it if they wanted it accepted by the city. Attorney Johnson said a letter of credit would be better from the city standpoint. Motion made by LaValle and seconded that T!r. & Mrs. Arcand be reimbursed their $8000.00 check for their subdivision, if they provide an :; 8000.00 irrevocable letter of credit payable to the City of Hugo, or an %98000.00 performance bond. Potion carried. Motion made by Crever, seconded by LaValle to place Don Tauer on the agenda for the regular meeting April 1st. Motion carried. Next item was the awarding the Sewer Project. Attorney Johnson had with him a resolution prepared by Briggs and Morgan for receiving bids and awarding the contract. Motion made by LaValle, seconded by Lease to adopt Resolution ; 1974-4, a resolution receiving bids and awarding a contract on sanitary sewer improve- ment r 1973-1 to Hoffman Brothers of Atwater, Minnesota for a cost of %91 ,020,151 .76, contingent however upon successful sale of bonds by the city to finance said improvement and final approval of the project by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Crever, LaValle, Martin Leroux, Lease for. Motion carried. Recess called at 9:25 PM. Called back to order at 9:35 PM. Bruce Folz appeared next, wi-:;h Mr. Mogren and Mr. Schrier, to ask for a reconsideration of their subdivision. They proposed dropping off approxi- mately nine lots, and putting the whole cul-de-sac area into an outlot. Attorney Johnson stated the council could reconsider this, or send it back to the planning commission. The owners questioned whether the plan could be accepted, leavoing out certain lots. Johnson said they should amend the plan and include platted outlots, or leave unplatted. Mr. Folz said they would like the councils reconsideration and action as soon as possible to start road constuction in the spring.
