HUGO PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - October 26, 1988
The regular meeting of the Hugo Planning Commission was called to order by
Chairman Senkler at 7:00PM.
Gail Thoreson was sworn in as planning commissioner.
PRESENT: Sullivan, Henry, Thoreson, Jesinski, Barnes, Senkler, Carole
LaBelle, Administrator Huber
Motion made by Henry, seconded by Sullivan to approve the minutes of
September 28, 1988 as amended.
All aye, motion passed.
Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review this request with
the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Mike Lengyel and Mrs.
Jeanette Pfurtscheller have made application to the City of Hugo for the
subdivision of a 36 acre parcel of land plus an additional 10 acre
outlot. This request has been reviewed by the planning commission on two
previous occasions and has been tabled to October 26th. In reviewing the
plat of Round Lake Addition there has been a number of major revisions
since last reviewed by the planning commission. The primary roadway
serving this development from Janero Ave. has been moved from the south
border of the site to a location serving both outlot A and the balance of
the subdivision. Although we have received a revised preliminary plat
there was no explanation as to why the roadway was relocated. We can
assume however, that it has something to do with the wetland areas and
requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed District. The revised roadway
location should eliminate some of the concerns noted by adjacent property
owners at the previous continued public hearing. In reviewing the plat it
appears that the lots meet minimum size and frontage on a public roadway.
It should be noted, however, that the revised roadway will eliminate any
possibility of connecting this subdivision development to County Rd. 10 in
the future. If the planning commission recommends approval of this
subdivision we would suggest said recommendation be subject to special
conditions.
Mr. Bill Simonet informed the audience that Steve Woods of the Rice Creek
Watershed District required the change in the road location. Mr. Simonet
stated that he has hired an engineer to address the roadway issue and they
will remove the first roadway and return that area to its original
condition.
Mr. Mike Ball, Craig Breeder, and Ray Gatzow were concerned with the
location of the proposed roadway. Mr. Ball indicated that the easement to
the north is private and would like to see this easement closed when the
roadway is installed. Mr. Huber informed Mr. Ball that this was a private
issue and the city cannot dictate whether the easement continues to be
used as access to County 10. Mr. Simonet agreed that the easement
crossing Mr. Ball's property would be vacated when the roadway was
installed. Mr. Ball questioned whether the lots could meet the 300'
setback requirement and if Washington County reviewed the perc tests.

Ms. Barnes felt there may
not
be a buildable site on Lot 1, Block
2 as
most of the center of the
lot
was wetland. Mr. Simonet informed
the
commission that each lot
did
meet percolation requirements. Mr.
Simonet
also requested that the
city
waive the requirement of concrete curb
and
gutter in this development.

Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber review the application with
the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated that Mr. Dennis Fleischmann,
Dora Lee, and Kevin Vacinek have made application to the City of Hugo for
a special use permit to build and operate a concrete ornament
manufacturing business in an industrial district. The property in
question is one acre in size and is located south of 165th St. west of
Highway 61. It is the applicants intent to construct a 36' X 66' building
for manufacturing of products and provide for customer parking, exterior
storage and a customer display area. The building in question will be
served by on site well and septic system, as well as, telephone,
electrical service and LP gas. The site plan indicates that a fence will
be constructed to secure the east, south, and west borders of the site in
question. The north border of the site will be secured by an existing
fence. The use of the property in question as proposed by the applicant
appears to be consistent with the intent of the city's zoning ordinance
regarding industrial zones. If the planning commission recommends
approval we would suggest that said recommendation be subject to special
conditions.
Area residents were concerned with noise and air pollution and inquired
what part of the business would be conducted outside.
Mr. Vacinek informed the audience that this business involved primarily
the manufacture of concrete ornaments. Mr. Vacinek stated that all
manufacturing is done inside with no noise or odors outside. Mr. Vacinek
stated that all waste cement will be removed from the site and disposed of
at an approved landfill. Mr. Vacinek also indicated that there will be a
building on one lot and fenced storage where inventory will be stored on
pallets and stacked neatly. Mr. Vacinek then stated there is no heating
of the materials and would be no smoke stack. Mr. Senkler inquired how
the material would be brought into the building. Mr. Vacinek stated all
sand and rock is moved by hand, hopefully there would be a machine in the
future. It was noted the the secured area would be a 6' chainlink fence
securing approximately 2,000 pieces of merchandise.

Administrator Huber reviewed the application with the planning
commissioners at Mr. Senkler's request. He stated that Ms. Ethelyn
VanBeek and George Gotwald representing the Aspen Investment Co. have made
application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a 69 acre tract of
land into ten residential lots. The property in question is located off
of Irish Ave. north of County Rd. 10 and northwest of Long Lake. The lots
proposed range from 5.2 acres to 6.2 acres in size. The property is zoned
RR2 and the applicant is requesting waiver of the subdivision requirement
P.C. Minutes - Oct. 26, 1988
Page 5
regarding the length of cul-de-sacs (600' max.) permitted
in subdivision
developments. A public hearing has been scheduled for
this evening to
secure input regarding this property located in the southwest
1/4 of the
northeast 1/4 in the southeast 1/4 of the northwest 1/4
of Section 35,
T31N, R21W. The lots appear to meet theminimum lot size,
lot width, and
accommodate building setbacks. Aspen Investment Co.
is also requesting
that they [p[t be required to install curb and gutter
in the development.
If the planning commission acts to recommend approval
of this subdivision
we would suggest that said recommendation be subject
to special
conditions.
Mr. Huber stated that the city engineer was concerned about the roadway
design. The city engineer has requested that a preliminary road design be
submitted to him for review.
Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. Mr. Dennis Weiman
inquired whether the location of road on the plat was precise and stated
that he would like to see the proposed roadway adjoing Irish Ave. at a
location directly between the two houses that currently face the proposed
roadway. Other residents shared concerns regarding the location of the
proposed roadway at its intersection with Irish Ave. and that it could
create a hazard because of the grade on Irish and the increased traffic on
the road. Mr. J. Guthrie wondered of the cul de sac on the north border
of the property would provide access to his property on the north. Mr.
Huber stated the roadway is public but does not necessarily open his
property for development.
Commissioner Barnes stated that the Irish Ave. hill would be addressed by
the city engineer and grades in that area may be changed. Ms. Barnes
would like to see plans for the extension of the roadway to the north.
Dick Senkler inquired whether the watershed district would address private
driveways over the wetlands area. Mr. Senkler stated the city would rely
on the recommendation of the city engineer regarding the issue of concrete
curb and gutter. Mr. George Gotwald stated they would provide the
necessary changes to allow for the extension of the roadway to the north.
Motion made by Barnes, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the
Country View Acres preliminary plat subject to the following special
conditions:
1. The preliminary plat be submitted to the city council within 90 days
of the commission's recommendation and the revised plat incorporate
the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and
other governmental agencies.

Minor Subdivision (Francis Lutz
Administrator Huber reviewed the application with the planning commission.
Mr. Francis Lutz and Mr. Mark Lutz have made application to the City of-
Hugo
fHugo for subdivision of a 39,5 acre tract of land into three lots in an
agricultural zoning district, The property in question is generally
described as the northeast 1/4 of the northeast 1/4 of Section 15, T31N,
R21W. Parcel A of the enclosed survey reflects the existing farm site on
19.5 acres, a proposed building site on Parcel B, and a future building
site on Parcel C. The applicants have requested waiver of the formal
P.C. Minutes - October 26, 1988

platting procedure.
The property in question
is located at
the northwest
corner of 157th St.
and Ingersoll Ave. No.
The lot size and
width appear
to be consistent with
the city zoning requirements
and the
proposed use of
the property, as explained
by the applicant,
appears to be
consistent with
the land use for this
area as defined in the
comprehensive
plan. If the
planning commission
chooses to recommend approval
of this
subdivision to
the city council we
would suggest that said
recommendation
be subject to
special conditions.
Chairman Senkler requested comments from the public. No one from the
audience responded. Administrator Huber stated that the subdivision would
be reivewed by the Rice Creek Watershed District and drainage easements
would be addressed at that time. The planning commission felt this a
reasonable request and had no concerns regarding this subdivision.
Motion made by Sullivan, seconded by Barnes to recommend approval of the
minor subdivision request and waiver of the formal platting procedure for
Mark and Francis Lutz subject to the following special conditions:
1. The preliminary survey be submitted to the city council within 90 days
of the commission's recommendation and the revised survey incorporate
the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and
other governmental agencies.

P.C. Minutes - October 26, 1988
, pAe 8
Mr. Senkler requested Mr. Huber review the application with the planning
commission. Mr. Huber stated that Vern and Marie Peloquin have made
application to the City of Hugo for a minor subdivision for the purpose of
creating a parcel of land adjacent to Peloquin Industrial Park in an
Industrial zone. The property in question is generally described as a 1.7
acre tract of land located in that part of the west 1/2 of the southwest
1/4 of Section 17, T31N, R21W, Hugo, Minnesota. The Peloquin Industrial
Park has a confusing history and the city staff has spent considerable
time trying to recreate the piece meal subdivision of this industrial
area. Dating back to 1974 Mr. Vern Peloquin has subdivided various tracts
of an industrial zoned area of land on a lot by lot basis which has
resulted in the creation of what is now known as the Peloquin Industrial
Park. All of the minor subdivisions have been done by Mr. Peloquin with
the exception of the plat of Husnik's Industrial Park which consisted of
five lots that were subdivided by formal plat. The park in question has
gravel roads and no municipal sewer or water. Because of the manner in
which this land was subdivided, a formal plat Was not created, therefore,
the requirements of the formal platting process were not adhered to. All
sites under 5 acres in size were not reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed
District and therefore much of this development occurred without their
review. In 1981 the city received a letter from the watershed district
indicating that any further subdivision in the Peloquin Industrial Park,
regardless of the lot size, must be submitted to the district because of
the impact on the adjacent Clearwater Creek. In reviewing Mr. Peloquin's
initial request the staff strongly recommended that this subdivision be
done by formal plat including all acreage owned by Mr. Peloquin within the
industrial area that currently is not platted. Although Mr. Peloquin
notes in his September 23, 1988, letter that there is no more land
available, Mr. Peloquin does own several tracts of land identified on the
composite map that have not been subdivided to date. Mr. Peloquin has
chosen however, to again subdivide this area by minor subdivision and
continue the piece meal development approach in this area. It is
extremely difficult to evaluate this parcel as it has developed without
the typical plat amenities because of the minor subdivision approach. If
the planning commission recommends approval of this minor subdivision and
waiver of the formal platting requirements we would recommend that said
approval be subject to special conditions.
Mr. Peloquin stated that the proposed subdivision would be used by
American Structural Steel as storage space for their trucks. He also
stated that Rice Creek Watershed is requiring a 50' easement on the west
portion of the property in the industrial park and he has refused to grant
them the easement.
Chairman Senkler requested public comments. Mr. Joe Marier was concerned
that this subdivision would deny him access to his property on the east
and no provisions for easements or roadways have been addressed.
Commissioners Barnes and Senkler were concerned that there is no overall
picture of the drainage plan or if there is a specific drainage plan for
the industrial park, what permits if any have been issued. Mr. Senkler-
inquired
enklerinquired whether it was appropriate to require a formal plat for one lot.
Administrator Huber stated they could require a formal plat for one lot
and deny waiver of the formal platting process. It was noted that former
P.C. Minutes - October
28, 1988

officials had apparently
informed
Mr. Peloquin that
no further subdivision
would be allowed
without a formal
plat, however,
there are no documents to
that effect. Mr.
Senkler felt this
subdivision
could have an effect on
adjacent property
and would like
to see the best
possible development of
the remaining area.
Commissioner
Barnes stated
the they should address
the drainage problems
which may already
exist and
there is no way to do
this on one small
lot.
Motion made by Senkler, seconded by Barnes to recommend to deny the waiver
of the formal platting procedure of the subdivision request of Vern
Peloquin and request that Rice Creek Watershed District review the entire
area owned by Mr. Peloquin in the industrial zone not just the proposed
lot.
Members voting AYE: Jesinski, Barnes, Thoreson, Senkler
Members voting NAY: Sullivan, Henry
Motion passed.
Chairman Senkler requested Administrator Huber reviw the application with
the planning commission. Mr. Huber stated Jennie and Melvin Vietor have
made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a 19.84 acre
tract of land into residential parcels in an agricultural zoning
district. The property in question is located on the east side of Jeffrey
Ave. in part of the east 1/2 of the southeast 1/4 of Section 11, T31N,
R21W, Washington County, Minnesota. The tract of land located south the
parcel B is owned by another party and the tract of land located north of
parcel A is owned by Mrs. Vietor. The applicant has requested waiver of
the square footage requirement for Parcel B and lot width for Parcel B
because the easement north of Parcel A, and building locations, restrict
the size of the site. Apparently the access easement north of parcel A is
a fenced area and it might create some difficulty if the property line was
moved from the proposed location. If the planning commission recommends
approval of this subdivision to the city council we would suggest that
said recommendation be subject to special conditions.
There was no one from the public to comment on the subdivision request.
Mr. Melvin Vietor stated the property is to be subdivided and sold to pay
for nursing home care for Jennie Vietor. It was acknowledged that the
300' lot width at the setback line could be maintained on parcel B.
Motion made by Sullivan, seconded by Jesinski to recommend approval of the
subdivision for Melvin and Jennie Vietor subject to the following special
conditions:
1. The preliminary survey be submitted to the city council within 90 days
of the commission's recommendation and the revised survey incorporate
the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and
other governmental agencies.
2. The preliminary survey will not be submitted to the council until all
legal, engineering, and staff recommendations have been incorporated
into the survey.
3. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant
including the cost of recording documents with Washington County.
4. Developer pay fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of final
survey approval.,
P.C. Minutes - October 26, 1988
5. A drainage plan including holding ponds and ditches must be approved
by the watershed district and maintianed by the property owner with
the method of maintenance to be reviewed by the city engineer.
6. Mailbox locations shall be approved by the United States Postal
service.
7. Developer shall install one tree per lot of a minimal size within the
subdivison development as per city regulations.
S. Approved driveways or drainage ways must include the installation of a
minimum 15" diameter, corrugated metal culvert acceptable to the city
if required by the city building inspector..
9. The developer shall secure Rice Creek Watershed District approval of
their on site drainage plan prior to approval of the final survey by
the city council.
10. Percolation tests must be completed on each of the buildable lots and
must be submitted to the city for review prior to final survey
approval.
11. Lot lines within the subdivision must be identified to determine
proper building setbacks if required by the building inspector.
All aye, motion passed.
Mr. Fred Macalus has made application to the City of Hugo for the rezoning
of a 12.6 acre tract of land from conservancy to agricultural. The
property in question is located west of Foxhill Ave. approximately 1400
ft. south of 180th. The rezoning in question would allow for subdivision
of the property into 3 parcels, one consisting of 42.74 acres and the
others of 9.9 and 9.8 acres. Currently tracts A and C are in two
different zoning district and it is the applicants intent to have both of
these tracts zoned agricultural. Mr. Macalus had applied for a rezoning
of the entire tract to agricultural at an earlier date and the planning
commission recommended denial of the rezoning. Mr. Macalus has revised
his request in an effort to clear up the mixed zoning problems and allow
for the conveyance of tract C in a manner acceptable to the mortgage
company. The area located north of tract C is currently zoned
agricultural and the area south of tract C will remain conservancy.
Planning Commission members concurred that the rezoning proposal was
satisfactory in that it did not include the entire area surrounding the
creek. There was no one from the public to comment on this request.
Motion made by Sullivan, seconded by Thoreson to recommend approval of the
rezoning request of Fred and Mary Ellen Macalus as submitted.
All aye, motion passed.
Administrator Huber reviewed the application with the planning commission
at Chairman Senkler's request. Mr. Huber stated that Fred and Mary
Macalus have made application to the City of Hugo for the subdivision of a
62 acre tract of land into 2, ten acre tracts, and one 42.7 acre tract.
The property in question is zoned agricultural and conservancy. Pending
the rezoning of this property it is the intent of Mr. Macalus to convey
, X.C. Minutes - Oct. 26, 1988
)page 11
tract C as shown
on the survey to his son. All
of the tracts in question
have frontage on
a public roadway and meet lot width
requirements.
Mr.
Macalus is requesting
a variance from the formal
platting procedure
and
ten acre requirement
to allow for a lot slightly
under 10 acres. If
the
planning commission
recommends approval of this
subdivision to the
city
council we would
suggest said recommendation be
subject to special
conditions.
Commission member concurred this was an appropriate use of the land and
had no objections to the proposed subdivision. There was no one from the
public to comment.
Thoreson made motion, second by Henry to recommend approval of the
subdivision request and waiver of the formal platting procedure for Fred
and Mary Ellen Macalus to subdivide 62 acres into a 9.9 acre tract, 9.8
acre tract and one 42.7 acre parcel subject to the following special
conditions:
1. The preliminary survey be submitted to the city council within 90 days
of the commission's recommendation and the revised survey incorporate
the recommendations of the staff, Rice Creek Watershed District, and
other governmental agencies.
2. The preliminary survey will not be submitted to the council until all
legal, engineering, and staff recommendations have been incorporated
into the survey.
3. All fees relating to the subdivision shall be paid by the applicant
including the cost of recording documents with Washington County.,
4. Developer pay fee in lieu of parkland dedication at the time of final
survey approval.
5. A drainage plan including holding ponds and ditches must be approved
by the watershed district and maintianed by the property owner with
the method of maintenance to be reviewed by the city engineer.
6. Mailbox locations shall be approved by the United States Postal
service.
7. Developer shall install one tree per lot of a minimal size within the
subdivison development as per city regulations.
G. Approved driveways or drainage ways must include the installation of a
minimum 15" diameter, corrugated metal culvert acceptable to the city
if required by the city building inspector.
9. The developer shall secure Rice Creek Watershed District approval of
their on site drainage plan prior to approval of the final survey by
the city council.
10. Percolation tests must be completed on each of the buildable lots and
must be submitted to the city for review prior to final survey
approval.
11. Lot lines within the subdivision must be identified to determine
proper building setbacks if required by the building inspector.
All aye, motion passed.
Administrator Huber informed the planning commission that the Bald Eagle
Sportsmans Assoc. had recently made some major safety improvements at
their club. It was noted that the club has been subject to an annual
review by the commission for some time. Commissioners concurred that an
PrC. Minutes - October 26, 1988
1page 12

when changes in use are proposed or when violations of the permit are
recieved by the city.
