WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Lynette Twedt that requests approval of a
variance to permit a 5,000 square foot pole building on property located at 15135 Everton
Avenue North, as legally described as follows:
The south 300' of the N1/2 of the SW 1 A of the SW 1 A of Section 18
WHEREAS, the Boad of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments has reviewed said variance at
a duly called public meeting and recommends approval of the variance.
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 for Lynette Twedt on property located at 15135 Everton Avenue, subject to the
following conditions:
1. A varinance is approved for a 5,000 square foot building in accordance with the
application dated October 2, 2001.
2. A building permit shall be required prior to constructing the building.
3. The applicant shall plant at least three evergreen trees along the south side of the
pole building. The trees shall be a minimum of four -feet in height.
4. The variance is approved based on the following findings:
a) The variance as requested is permissible bylaw.
The requested variance is from the dimensional requirements of the ordinance
and is permissible by law.
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 hardship is unique to the property because the property is in an area that is
to remain agriculture, as identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Further,
the property is not eligible to receive municipal sewer and water.
c) The granting of the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent
of the ordinance.
The pole building is in an area that will remain agricultural. Larger pole
buildings are common on agriculutural properties.

d) The property can not be put to reasonable use without the granting of the
variance.
The property is zoned for agricultural use. Pole buildings and other similar
accessory buildings are a common use in the agricultural zoning district and
are often needed for storage of equipment, personal belongings, and other
items consistent with large lot agricultural/residential properties.
e) The variance, if granted, would not alter the essential character of the
locality in which it would be located.
The agricultural pole barn would meet all applicable setback requirements,
and as such would not alter the essential character of the area. Further, other
properties in this area of the City have large agricultural pole buildings.
The variance, if granted shall not have the effect of allowing, in any
district, any use prohibited in the district.
The proposed accessory building is a permitted use in the agricultural zoning
district.
g) The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood
protection than required by the ordinance.
The proposed building would not be within a designated floodplain.
h) The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject property is
in compliance with city and state codes.
The new building would not require any improvements to the on-site sewage
treatment or water systems found on the property.
ADOPTED by the City Council on November 5, 2001.
