RESOLUTION 2008-2
APPROVING A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR SCOTT KERSTEN TO
ALLOW AN AUTO BODY REPAIR SHOP AND OUTDOOR VEHICLE
STORAGE USE ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 14797 FOREST
BOULEVARD NORTH
WHEREAS, Scott Kersten, requested approval of a conditional use permit to allow auto
body repair shop and outdoor vehicle storage use on the property located at 14797 Forest
Boulevard North
(See attached Exhibit A)
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said conditional use permit at a duly
called public hearing on December 27, 2007 and recommends approval subject to the
conditions listed in the conditional use permit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the
conditional use permit for Scott Kersten to allow an auto body repair shop and outdoor
vehicle storage use on the property located at 14797 Forest Boulevard North with the
following findings:
1. The auto body repair shop and outdoor vehicle storage may only be
permitted in the Central Business district by a CUP, but is otherwise
permitted by law.
2. The use is allowed in the Central Business district and will keep with the
spirit and intent of the ordinance, which is intended to provide a location
for commercial businesses.
3. The use is consistent with the character of this Central Business zoning
classification. The City's Comprehensive Plan identifies this area as
Commercial/Industrial. The character of the area will not change
noticeably, since the prior use was a body shop that did store vehicles
temporarily.
4. Staff does not foresee any problems with utilities or drainage since there is
not construction going on that will alter the site.
5. The use has adequate access onto Highway 61 and to 148th Street.
6. The use is not located within the floodplain.
7. The use is existing and does not obstruct the floodplain or increase the
potential for flooding.
8. The use does not damage or reduce the benefits from any public waters.

exterior storage will be adequately screened from adjacent residential uses
and public right-of-ways.

ADOPTED by the City Council this '1 day of January, 2008.
