MINUTES <br />HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION <br />September 14, 2006 <br />Call to Order <br />Chairman Schumann called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. <br />PRESENT: Bailly, Hoffbeck, Kleissler, McRoberts, Rosenquist, Schumann, Weidt <br />ABSENT: NONE <br />ALSO PRESENT: Bryan Bear, Community Development Director (CDD) <br />Michele Lindau, Planning Commission Secretary <br />Rachel Simone, Community Development Intern (CD Intern) <br />Minutes of August 10, 2006 <br />Weidt made motion, Bailly seconded, to approve the Planning Commission minutes of August 10, 2006 <br />as submitted. <br />Ayes: Bailly, Hoffbeck, Kleissler, Rosenquist, Schumann, Weidt <br />Abstain: McRoberts <br />Motion carried. <br />Kellison Addition- Preliminary Plat and Variance <br />The Commission held a public hearing to consider the application of Jim Kellison, 4394 1291h Street <br />North, for a preliminary plat to be known as Kellison Addition and a variance for the setback of the <br />existing home on the site. The property consists of 4.9 acres located in the Large Lot Single Family <br />Detached Residential Zoning District where the minimum lot size is one acre. The plat would consist of <br />three lots on 4.9 acres. The applicant currently resides in the home on the property which, if platted, <br />would require a variance to allow a 19 foot rear yard setback where ordinance requires 30 feet. <br />The CD Intern explained the developer would need to extend the City sewer and water services to the <br />property as well as make improvements to 129th Street North which would include paving a portion of <br />Elmcrest Avenue. The applicant was also proposing to fill 399 square feet of wetland and was working <br />with the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). The applicant also needed to address building elevations <br />because the plan showed them to be two feet above the 100 -year flood elevation where three feet was <br />required. <br />McRoberts asked if there was a way the lots could be configured to avoid the variance for the setback. <br />Kellison said he didn't think they would be able to meet the setback; the home was built prior to code, <br />and it was likely the next owner of the home would tear it down and rebuild. <br />The CDD informed the Commission that it currently complies because it is considered a side yard <br />
