Arthur Jensen
Mr. and Mrs . Jensen stated they wish to build a double bungalow at
4504 170th Street. They appeared with the results of a perc test they
took per the previous request of the Planning Commission. It was the
opinion of the board that the perc test was OK but further recommended
to them that they bore holes 8i feet deep to be sure there is no
surface water there. They were told they could now apply for a spec-
ial use permit from the city office and then appear before the Planning
Commission again.
' Dan Muellner
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Muellner appeared to apply for a special use permit
to build a home on a flood plain. They were planning to build on a
five acre site but were told by the Commission that in a Conservancy
District the minimum lot size is 20 acres. They would also need de-
liniation of the flood plain by the city engineer and then a perc test.
They were also told that if they choose to move their building site
to the east side of the mad, which is not in the flood plain, but
rather is zoned agricultural, they could build on a ten acre site and
would not need any approval from the Planning Commission.
Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church
A delegation from the Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church, which is
now holding services in the Hugo Elementary School, appeared before
the Commission to inquire about building a church on a fifteen acre
site now owned by Mr. Pulbright. They were told that part of the
land is now zoned Rill and part (the western half) Retail Business.
Churches are allowed on RR1, but not on Retail Business, so it would
be necessary to rezone the Western half of the property and to apply
for a special use permit for a church. Also, there is only a 301
easement for a road and it would be necessary for the group to obtain
the necessary additional footage for a sixty foot road and it must be
built up to a seven ton blacktop road.
Amending Zoning Code
The City Council has recommended to the Planning Commission that the
zoning code be amended to include tennis courts as an accessory use.
Motion made by Rosenquist , seconded by Peloquin, to table this matter
until an adequate number of amendments can be gathered to justify hold-
ing a public hearing. All voted aye. Motion carried.
White Bear Rod and Gun Club
The City Council has requested the Planning Commission to review the
White Bear Rod and Gun Club facilities to see if they are in compliance
with their special use permit. Peloquin was named as the chairman,
with Peltier and Rosenquist to serve on the committee to inspect the
premises . Committee to report to Planning Commission on August 27th.
Motion made by Peloquin, seconded by Peltier, that the meeting be
adjourned at 10L30 PM. Motion carried.
