Motion made by Davis, seconded by Mezzano to approve the minutes of the
October 23, 1991 as amended.
All aye, motion passed.
The oath of office was administered to Brian Olson who was appointed to
the Planning Commission by the City Council to serve a four year term to
expire December 31, 1995. He will also be serving at the November and
December meetings of 1991.
At the request of Mr. Gerald Papenheim of 2472 Taylor Ave., White Bear
Lake, Minnesota, the Planning Commission has agreed to table this request
until January 22, 1992.
Commissioner Mezzano reviewed this request with the Planning Commission.
Mr. Mezzano stated that Arnie and Elvira Gruett of 12433 Ingersoll Ave.
No., have made application to the City of Hugo for a minor subdivision and
waiver of the formal platting requirements. The property in question is
described as, that part of Gov't Lot 3, Section 5, T31N, R21W, Washington
County, Minnesota, lying northerly of the center line of County State Aid
Highway No. 7. The property consists of 12.89 acres and is currently
zoned RR2. It is Mr. Gruett's intent to subdivide the parcel into two
lots, one consisting of approximately 7.89 acres and one of 5 acres. The
required permit from Rice Creek Watershed District has been secured and a
copy was provided. The soil tests submitted have been reviewed by the
Washington County Public Health Dept. and they have indicated that the
site is suitable for the installation of an individual sewage treatment
system, pursuant to city code. If the planning commission feels that
this request is consistent with the comprehensive plan and other
development in the area adjacent to the property in question, we would
recommend subdivision approval subject to special conditions.
Mr. Gruett was present and stated that the driveway would be located on
Irish Ave.
After a brief discussion the Planning Commission concurred that this
request was consistent with the comprehensive plan and the surrounding
area.
Motion made by Mezzano, seconded by Davis to recommend approval of the
request of Arnie and Elvira Gruett to subdivide 12.89 acres (93035-0405 &
0500) into two parcels as described above and waive the formal platting
requirements subject to the following special conditions.
