If they do grow, another row of trees should be required. Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Peltier, to recommend approval of the Junk- yard License for Leonard Noack for a period of one year.

If trees have died, the city should look at another form of screening. All aye. Motion Carried. JEFFREY BARBOUR - AMENDED SPECIAL USE PERMIT o `y Mr. Barbour was present and outlined the property that is now included in the 0 kennel operation (approximately 120 acres). Peltier felt that Condition #15 should be added to the existing Special Use Permit tying the balance of land <D �* with the kennel. Mr. Barbour was reluctant to commit himself to this condition c in case that at some future time he would be forced financially to sell a portion a of his property. Peloquin stated that the permit should address the total acres needed for the kennel operation, and in the future, should Barbour consider the o sale of additional property, an Amended Special Use Permit would have to be 9 applied for and the city would consider his request. The Planning Commission o sugge:;ted that Mr. Barbour delete the 3 acres lying across County Road 8A from the kennel boundaries. w Motion made by Peltier, seconded by Peloquin, to recommend approval of the Amended Special Use Permit for Jeffrey Barbour, Benson Kennel, with the addition of Condi- CO tion X15 stating that the kennel operation consists of approximately 117 acres, as 6 indicated by the red lines on the Site Plan. If more land is to be sold, an Amended Special Use Permit will have to be applied for and require city approval. X All aye. Motion Carried.

Mr. LaCasse stated that his son will be pur- chasing 10 acres and that he has another buyer for the 17 acres. Mr. LaCasse was advised that he will need Land Division and to appear before the City Council. BILL STOUVENEL - SALE OF BLDG IN BALD EAGLE INDUSTRIAL PARK Mr. Stoevenel, agent for PHD Industry, has sold the property to The Bottle Company (Lot 3, Block 2). Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Peltier, to add Mr. Stoevenel for all purposes. All aye. Motion Carried. Mr. Stoevenel stated that the new business makes plastic bottles (injection molding), and employs approximately 10 people. They are aware of the assessments for the street and storm sewer improvement. Mr. Stoevenal was informed that a Special Use Hugo Planning Commission May 13, 1981 Page 3 of 3 Permit would be required for the new business so that Hpgo is informed as to what type of business is located in the park. The Planning Commission questioned the necessity of the Special Use Permit, because this type of operation appears to be allowed in the industrial zone. Stoevenel stated that the original plat of this property consisted of 4} acres, but only a portion of that would be sold for the new business (1.32 acres). Evidently, Ken Tschida holds an unrecorded transaction tying up the parcel until July 23, 1981. Peloquin felt that the city should be looking at a Minor Subdivision for the sale of the 1.32 acres. The Planning Commission did not feel that they could act on an application for a Special Use Permit at this time, because the property has not been clearly defined. Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Greger, that because of the time deadline (closing of June 1, 1981), the entire matter be handled by the City Council after consultation by the realtor with the City Attorney. All aye. Motion Carried. PETE 14ADEAU AND DON OLSON - CONSTRUCTION OF HOME Mr. Olson is interested in purchasing the lot located at Highway 61 and 150th Street (south east corner). This property lies in the SFU zone. Mr. Nadeau presented the Planning Commission with a legal description dated 1947 with a lot size of 40 x 150. Peloquin reviewed the Pine Tree Addition plat and it was determined that the lot is actually 40 x 129 because of the upgrading of Highway 61 in the 1950's. Mr. Nadeau felt that this should be a buildable lot because the owner has been paying assessments on the lot for a number of years. ',As the lot sits, it would be impossible to meet the setback requirements for interior lot lines. The Planning Commission stated that they would not approve variances for the con- struction o0house on this lot. Motion made by Lorch, seconded by Hanson, that Mr. Olson appear, before the City Council at.their meeting of May 18, 1981, and at that time, with the help of the City Attorney, determine if there is any way this can be a buildable lot, and if the city has any legal responsibility to make into a buildable lot. All aye. Motion Carried. The Planning Commission did not discuss. the change in State Statute regarding division of large lots. Motion made by Hanson, seconded by Lorch, to adjourn at 10:45 PM. All aye. Motion Carried. Mary A�W'Creager, Secretary'? Hugo Planning Commission
