OF THE
HUGO PLANTING COMMISSION
June 8, 1983
The public hearing began at 7:30PM. Robert Dotte expressed his desire to re-
zone 20 acres from Conservancy to Industrial or Agriculture. His intent would be to
build wooden pallets in the Industrial zone, and leave the 10 acres on the West
as Agriculture. Mrs. Ella Caruth submitted a letter expressing her concern for
allowing a business of that sort in the area, which is primarily residential.
Art and Mary Munger were present to oppose the rezoning also. Anthony Penna and
Rick Mallinger were concerned about the condition of the road and felt any heavy
trucks and more trafffic would only make it worse. The property was determined
to be low lying and basically unsuitable for homes. The public hearing was
closed at 7:59PM.
The regular meeting was called to order by Chairperson Lorch at 8:00PM.
PRESENT: Lorch, Hanson, Fashingbauer, Potts, Atkinson, Schoeller, M. McAllister.
Motion made by Hanson, seconded by Potts to approve the minutes of the May 25,
1983 as submitted. All aye. Notion carried.
Robert Dotte - The conutission members felt that rezoning the Dotte land would
be inconsistent with the surrounding area. The distance to neighboring homes
and the condition of the road were unsuitable for an industrial business.
Motion made by Hanson, seconded by Potts to recommend denial of the Robert
Dotte rezoning on 165th and Fenway from Conservancy to Industrial.
Aye: Lorch, Hanson, Fashinbauer, Potts, Schoeller. Abstain: Atkinson.
Mr. Dotte also considered rezoning to agriculture from Conservancy. The property
currently has standing water. It is doubtful that the ten acres on the east could
pass a perc test.
Motion made by Hanson, seconded by Potts to recommend denial of the Robert Dotte
rezoning on 165th and Fenway from Conservancy to Agriculture.
Aye: Lorch, Fashingbauer, Hanson, Potts. Abstain: Schoeller, Atkinson.
Mr. Dotte did not wish to forward his request to the City Council.
Jeff Barbour - Mr. Barbour would like to sell a piece of land on the East side of
8A (3.26 acres) which was separated from the original body of land by the con-
struction of the road. The Johnsons have expressed a desire to purchase the
property but fail to submit a written offer. A current perc test and survey was
presented. Planning Commission members were requested to view the property before
the June 22nd meeting at which time the possibility of rezoning to RR -1 would be
discussed further.
Motion made by Lorch, seconded by Schoeller to add Mr. Lee Stewart to the Agenda.
All aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Lorch read the excerpt from the City Council minutes of June 6, 1983.
"Mr. Lorch, chairman of the Planning Commission, was present to discuss the
Cont. - June 8, 1983 minutes
action taken by the commission at their meeting of May 25th regarding the request
of Lee Stewart to divide one acre from seven for a building site. Mr. Lorch's
greatest concern was what the effect of allowing Mr. Shackle to construct a res-
idence with an on-site septic system wouldlave on the City of Hugo/Charpentier
agreement. Would the city allow Charpentier's to develop their property further?
McAllister stated that the agreement was entered into because of the sale of
property to the Charpentier's by Fred Fulbright. Mr. Fulbright was informed that
no more development could occur without benefit of city sewer. It was the concen-
sus of the City Council that before any more homes are allowed on this property
that it will be served by Sanitary sewer. Sanitrary sewer improvement could
be considered upon petition of 35% of the property owners or 4/5's of the Council
to vote in the affirmative to initiate an improvement project. It was the concensus
of the Council that they would not authorize/initiate a sanitary sewer improve-
ment project for that property. Mayor McAllister also stated that if the City was
requested to proceed with the recommendations of the Planning Commission, that Mr.
Stewart will have to make a cash deposit to the city to pay for any legal or
engineering cost that would be incurred."
Mr. Stewart was advised the amount of 500.00 would be considered adequate to
consider the matter further, which stould be deposited in an escrow account.
The possibility of building multi -family units in that area was also taken
into consideration. Mr. Stewart was informed that development of the property
would mean including sanitary sewer. storm sewer, lighting, streets and any
other city improvements.
Motion made by Lorch, seconded by Schoeller to recommend denial of the Shackle -
Stewart Minor Subdivision . All aye. Motion carried.
Mr. Stewart left the meeting without further comment or advice.
Motion made be Fashingbauer, seconded by Schoeller to adjourn the meeting at
9:35 PM. All aye. Motion carried.
