Driveway Ordinance Amendment
The Planning Commission considered amending Hugo City Code Chapter 320, Sec. 6.19 to
change the maximum driveway width at the street, as requested by area contractors and residents.
The purpose of the amendment is to accommodate larger garage sizes. Passing of the new
zoning ordinance on July 27, 1999, changed the maximum driveway width at the street from 22'
to 16'. The Planning Commission considered staff reports from the Hugo Code Enforcement
Officer, City Engineer, and the Community Development Director.
Kellison stated the increase in maximum driveway width would increase impervious surface.
The Community Development Director pointed out that the ordinance allowed a maximum of
50% to be covered by impervious surface, and increasing the maximum driveway width would
not allow them to exceed this amount.
Schumann commented that builders should consider moving homes back to allow more driveway
space, which would keep the cars off the sidewalks, and Malaski stated more driveway space
would encourage more exterior storage in driveways.
Puleo stated that if the City is allowing triple garages, they should allow driveways to
accommodate them.
Kellison made motion, Peltier seconded, to recommend the City Council not change the
maximum driveway width at the curb, leaving it at 16'.

Conditional Use Permit (Ramberg)
The Planning Commission reviewed the property of Dan Ramberg, 5676 17e St. N., to
determine if a Conditional Use Permit was needed for the horse boarding and training facility on
his property. Mr. Ramberg had applied for two Conditional Use Permits on February 28, 2000;
one for horse boarding/training facilities and tack shop, and another for conducting rodeos on the
property. The CUP for rodeos was approved by the City Council on June 5, 2000. The CUP for
a horse boarding and training facility was tabled at the Planning Commission meetings in March,
April, and May so more information could be obtained to determine if it was an accessory or
principal use.
After reviewing information provided by Mr. Ramberg and the Community Development
Director, Puleo made motion, Peltier seconded, to recommend the City Council find the horse
boarding and training facility be an accessory use of the property; therefore, no Conditional Use
Permit would be needed.
Kellison made motion, McRoberts seconded, to amend the motion to state that this determination
applies to the property at this point in time, and should the size of the property decrease or horse
boarding and training activity increase, the need for a Conditional Use Permit will be
reconsidered at that time.
Vote on amendment;
Ayes: Kellison, Kleissler, Malaksi, Mcroberts, Schumann
Nays: Peltier, Puleo
Motion passed.
Vote on motion as amended:
Ayes: Kleissler, Malaksi, Peltier, Puleo, Schumann
Nays: Kellison, McRoberts
Motion passed.

No procedure for alternate Planning Commission members had been established. The Planning
