JEFF HUGHES
Mr. Hughes is interested in purchasing the 2.38 acres of property divided by
County Road 8A from the Benson Kennel property. All land is on one deed. Mr.
Hughes has had a percolation test taken on the property but has no city approval
at this time. There is no other land available on that side of the road.
or
Bill Hanson presented Jim Johnson, propertyyM the north of the 2.38 acres, and
stated that Mr. Johnson would be interested in purchasing the land and attaching
it to his present deed (one deed). If Mr. Hughes would like to pursue this
matter, an application for rezoning (AG to SFE) would be required, with Messrs.
Benson and Barbour jointly signing the application.
HOMER DOLE - LAND DIVISION
Mr. Dole would like to divide his 431 acres into 4 10 acre building sites. Two
of the parcels border 175th Street and two have access via an easement from
Highway 61. There have been no perc tests taken. A Certificate of Survey was
not provided because authorization for dividing the property was requested from
the property owner prior to any expenditures of money.
Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Lorch, that we forward the application for
Land Division to the City Council, via the City Attorney's office, who will
review the easement for Parcels B1 and B2, and advise the City Council that there
is indeed access to those two parcels. If there is access to the two parcels,
the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the Land Division.
Also recommend that the City Council approve the Land Division after Certificate
of Surveys are presented.
All aye. Motion Carried.
It was noted that the 432 acres is on two deeds but the land would be divided
in a way that all acreage would be included, creating lots larger than 10 acres.
Peloquin advised that perc tests be taken by a professional because of the high
water table.

SHIRLEY NELSON HILL - SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Mrs. Hill submitted plans for an addition to her present building. The addition
would consist of additional storage and a walk-in cooler that is needed for
the off sale liquor portion of the business. The lumber building will ultimately
be connected to the addition to accommodate the on sale establishment. The
new addition has nothing to do with any on sale business. The addition will be
19'9" x 51' - insulated concrete slab floor and a wood frame with stucco exterior.
An overall site plan was submitted.
Motion made by McAllister, seconded by Lorch, to recommend approval of the Site Plan
for Mrs. Shirley Nelson Hill, RB district, for an addition to the existing
grocery store and off sale liquor establishment of an approximate dimension of
1919" x 511. The building material to be used shall be as stated by the applicant.
The new structure must meet all existing city codes, and in no way does this indi-
cate the city's intention, or commit the city, to the issuance of an on sale
liquor license. Site Plan review only, and not be construed as a Special Use Permit.
All aye. Motion Carried.
Mrs. Hill's extension to obtain the on sale license expires 12/15/80.
FRED RIERMANN - AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL
Mr. Riermann is proposing the construction on a 100 x 120 building on Lot 10,
Block 4, Peloquin Industrial Park. This property is held on a Contract for Deed,
but full title will be granted Fh en the Peloquin subdivision is approved. Mr.
Riermann wishes to dig footings only this year, with the balance being completed
in 1981. All plans submitted are on file.

mitted Site Plan. The Site Plan to include driveway of crushed rock.

Fore the record, there is an existing Contract for Deed on the proposed Lot 10,
Block 4, in the Peloquin Industrial Park final plat. The C/D was executed prior
to the City Council's moratorium on no more Minor Subdivisions until the final
plat was approved. It is the recommendation of the Planning Commission that Mr.
Riermann be allowed to dig the footings, begin construction on the proposed new
building, on a time schedule that is convenient to him. The Planning Commission
recommends construction be completed within one year from the time it begins. The
Commission has considered all the previous screening and fencing that the appli-
cant has already done on the property.
