(HOULE ARRIVED AT 8:03 PM) The business is located in the Bald Eagle Industrial Park. The new building would be of the same type as the existing building, and would employ 5 or 6 additional people.

Hugo Planning Commission July 23, 1980 Page 2 of 3 LAMETTI & SONS - SITE PLAN APPROVAL The bookkeeper from Lametti was present and stated that the 40 x 300 building would be used for storage of equipment. The poles for the building have already been placed in the ground 13' from the property line. There was discussion as to whether the property was to be considered side yard or rear yard. Peloquin felt that because the buildings faced south and the railroad tracks ran along the east side, the west property line should be considered a side yard. The ordinance reads 30' minimum for rear yard setback. Mrs. Caruth owns the abutting property, and Greger felt that her approval would be required prior to the issuance of a Variance, if required. hh Howard Kuusistoel1hat two matters/geladdressed: 1) general direction of the drainage, and 2) first floor elevation of storage building. The representative stated that the land has been graded so that surface water will go the south into a ponding area. The elevation data will be submitted. Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Lorch, that the Site Plan submitted by Lametti & Sons be forwarded to the City Council without recommendation. Let the record show construction of the proposed building was under taken without a building permit in violation of the Hugo City Code. The Planning Commission has no objections to the Site Plan or an application for a rear yard setback variance to conform as indicated in the chart in the Industrial zone. However, the Planning Commission feels the property owner to the west of the property line should noti- fied and have an opportunity to comment prior to any action of the City Council. All aye. Motion Carried. Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Lorch, that the City Council consider notifying the general contractor involved with the construction of the Lametti building of the requirements of the city as far as building permits are concerned. All aye. Motion Carried.
