APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR MULTIFEEDER TECHNOLOGY IN THE
GENERAL INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT ON PROPERTY LOCATED AT
LOT 3, BLOCK 1, BALD EAGLE INDUSTRIAL PARK 4TH ADDITION
WHEREAS, Neal Nordling has requested approval of a variance to construct a
monument sign at the front property line where 30 feet is required
Lot 3, Block 1, Bald Eagle Industrial Park 4th Addition
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said variance at a duly called public
hearing on July 26, 2007 and recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the
variance request to Neal Nordling to permit construction of a sign to be located at the
front property line where 30 feet is required based on the following findings:
1. The request is permissible by law.
2. The site is proposed to have infiltration ponds at the entrance on each side
of the drive into the property that limit the area of which a sign could be
located. The ponds end approximately 60 feet from the front property line
to the east. If the sign was placed 60 feet from the property line the sign
would not be seen from Fenway Boulevard, this would cause hardship for
the property owner.
3. The sign would be located at the property line but will still be 10 feet from
the curb of Fenway Boulevard. It is in staff's opinion that there would not
be a site distance problem.
4. If the variance is not granted a monument sign would not be easily seen if
it is setback passed the infiltration ponds at 60 feet back.
5. There are other monument signs in the area for the surrounding industrial
buildings. The variance would not alter the character of the area.
6. The use is allowed in the district.
7. The property is not within the floodplain.
8. The variance would not affect the sewer and water systems.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 6th day of August, 7.
