(Preliminary Plat)
Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review this application
request with the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mrs. Lorraine
St. Sauver has made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of
a 60 acre tract of land into six lots of approximately 10 acres each. The
property in question is zoned agricultural and is located at the northwest
corner of Homestead Ave. and 132nd St. Mrs. St. Sauver is also asking for
a variance that would allow for the platting of Lot 4 at 9'8 acres.
Percolation tests have been prepared for all lots in question and all were
determined suitable for construction of individual sewage treatment
systems by the Washington County Planning Department. The applicants have
informed us that they have made a request to the Rice Creek Watershed
District for the needed permits and will dedicate the needed drainage
easements as required. The subdivision of this property into 10 acre lots
is consistent with the city's zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan. If
the Hugo Planning Commission feels this application is consistent with the
long range plans of the city, we would suggest that said recommendation
for preliminary plat approval be subject to special conditions.
Chairman Senkler opened the public hearing for comments. Mrs. Alice
Christenson and surrounding residents wanted to verify the fact that there
were only ten acre lots allowed in this area. She was assured that the
application as submitted was strictly a request for 10 acre lots with the
exception of a small variance on lot 4.
Members of the planning commission concurred this was an acceptable use of
the property in question and complied with the city's comprehensive plan'
Hearing no objections to the preliminary plat a motion was made by
Mezzano, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the request by Mrs'
Lorraine St. Sauver to subdivide a 59.8 acre tract of land (described as
