WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called Public
Hearing and recommends approval, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the
request by Pavement Guys Holdings, LLC for a site plan, conditional use permit and

25, 2005, except as amended by this resolution.
2. All sides of the building addition shall be finished with rockface block and stucco as
shown on the plans. The block must be integral colored.
3. The 29 proposed parking spaces are adequate for the proposed use, but any change to
the building use will require review of the parking requirements in the ordinance.
The City may require construction of additional parking spaces at that time.
4. No outside storage is allowed on site until all conditions of approval have been met.

6. No exterior storage of trash, recycling or trash/recycling materials shall be allowed
outside. All such materials must be stored in the enclosure located on the northeast
corner of the building.
7. Signage shall be allowed in compliance with ordinance standards.
8. A variance is approved to allow a 30 -foot side yard setback on the south where 40
feet is required, based on the following findings:
a. The variance as requested is permissible by law. The Zoning Ordinance allows
applicants to request setback variances and the setback variance is needed to
allow development of this site as proposed by the applicant.
b. The strict enforcement of the ordinance would cause undue hardship because of
circumstances unique to the individual property not caused by the landowner. The
site is very narrow (145' x 520') and would be difficult to develop in compliance
with the building setback requirements. The narrow lot width creates the
hardship.
c. The granting of the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the
ordinance. The requested setback variance would allow the building to be set
back a similar distance from the lot line as the building to the south. Approval of
the variance would allow development of an office/warehouse building, which is
allowed in the I-3 zoning district.
d. The property cannot be put to reasonable use without the granting of the variance.
The lot is very narrow and would be difficult to develop as an industrial property
in compliance with the 40 -foot side yard setback requirements. The setback
variance is needed to allow development as proposed by the applicant.
e. The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the locality in
which it would be located. The variance would allow development similar to what
already exists in the Peloquin Industrial Park.
f. The variance, if granted, shall not have the effect of allowing, in any district, any
use prohibited in the district. The variance would allow development of an
officetwarehouse building, which is a permitted use in the I-3 district.
g. The variance, if granted, would not permit a lower degree of flood protection than
required by this ordinance.
h. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is in
compliance with city and state codes.
