Phase 1 would include 25 acres or 54 units which is the northern most property. The area would be serviced by a 15" sanitary sewer, 6" water main, and prospective homes would be in the $80,000 range.

Residents in protest to the development and in attendance are as listed; Tim & Trudy O'Connell, Nancy Bramstedt, Ron Chamberlain, H. Schletty, Jim Bramstedt, Louis Bailey, Mary Knebel. Primary concerns were storm water run- off, sewer assessments to surrounding area, concern for keeping Hugo rural, more driveways entering on 8A, low land unsuitable for building, educational costs, no recreational area for children. Liz Flaherty, Vic Koecher, Sue and Ricardo Byron, and Joe and Pam Monno were also concerned about police protection.

Public hearing closed at 8:20PM. Planning Commission Minutes Oct. 9, 1985 Harstad-Merila Rezoning - The general concensus of the planning commission was that the proposal would intrude on the rural atmosphere of the community, the soils in the area are unstable for usch dense construction. Storm water runoff and storm sewer could cause major problems and such a project would consist of 56% of the projected growth for Hugo in two years which originally was expected to take 20 years. The feeling was that it was a good plan but not for the City of Hugo.
