Elmcrest Avenue/Cedar Street Improvement Proiect with Lino Lakes
At its March 18, 2019 meeting, the Council approved a Joint Powers Agreement with the City
of Lino Lakes for the paving of sections of 24th Avenue/Elmcrest Avenue and East Cedar Street
in Lino Lakes. The bid opening for the project was scheduled for Thursday, August 15, 2019,
at 11 a.m. at the City of Lino Lakes. The bids came in 23% higher than anticipated. The
engineer's estimate was $598,303 for the entire project. ($161,258 for Hugo and $437,045 for
Lino Lakes). City Engineer Mark Erichson explained the engineer's estimate had been reduced
due to changes in the project. Four bids were received ranging from $777,551.60 - $892,514.46
with the low bid from TA Schifsky & Sons, Inc. Hugo's portion from TA Schifsky was
$211,959, which was slightly higher than the first estimate of $246,000. Overall for the entire
project, the bids were considerable higher, which Erichson stated he expected due to unavailable
workforce and contractors did not have the capacity to do the work. The Council was being
asked to accept the bids and award the contract or reject all bids. Erichson stated he was unsure
what direction the City of Lino Lakes would go, but both cities needed to approve the bids for
the contract to be awarded.
Weidt questioned what the delay was in getting the project bid. Erichson replied that Lino
Lakes' scope was more substantial with drainage, soils, and property rights issues.
Klein questioned whether there was a safety issue if the project was not done this year.
Erichson replied there were no proposed drainage issues as part of the project and no safety
issues.
Petryk asked, if Hugo finds the bids unacceptable, would it void the Joint Powers Agreement
with Lino Lakes. Erichson stated be believed that if Hugo rejected the bids, Lino Lakes would
likely do the same. If Hugo accepted them, Lino Lakes may still reject them.
Haas stated he would not object to moving forward with the project. It would be easier for
Public Works to maintain the roadway and for residents to drive on it.
Klein concurred with Haas saying the residents should not have to deal with the mud and gravel
for another year.
Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for August 19, 2019
Page 4 of 6
Haas made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the resolution receiving bids and recommending
Lino Lakes award the contract.
Weidt talked about discussions he had with the neighbors and how they have been waiting for
the project to be done. He asked City Administrator Bryan Bear if there had been discussions
with Lino Lakes about whether they would immediately put the project back out for bid or if
there was a chance they would back out of the contract.
Bear replied that there were advantages for each city to do the project together. The idea would
be for Lino Lakes to rebid the project for construction next spring. He added that the City also
had the ability to bid a separate project for its own road.
Weidt stated he didn't think Lino Lakes would approve the project, and it was best to save the
money for next spring. Considering the pricing, it was clear no one wanted to do the project this
fall, and he was concerned that the project would not turn out well.
Ayes: Klein, Haas
Nays: Petryk, Miron, Weidt

Lakes so the project can be rebid and continue to move forward.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Approve Advertisement for Bids for Waters Edte Water Reuse Project Phase 2
City Engineer Mark Erichson explained Phase 2 of the Waters Edge Water Reuse Project would
expand the storm water reuse system that was already constructed in parts of the Water's Edge
development, more than doubling the capacity and service area. It was estimated that once the
Phase II project is completed, the entire reuse system will reduce potable water consumption by
over 24 million gallons a year on an average annual basis. The reuse system provides
significant storm water management benefits as well. The project was receiving a $170,000
grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District, and all of the remaining construction and
operation/maintenance costs would be recovered via annual charges to the Homeowner's
Associations in the area served.
Klein made motion, Haas seconded, to approve RESOLUTION 2019 — 34 APPROVING

Parks Planner Shayla Denaway presented to Council the potential trail connections around

had completed the site evaluation and proposed three potential trail layouts that included areas
around Wilson Tool, along Farnham Avenue, down Falcon Avenue, and extending to Oakshore
Park. Council discussed these options and asked what the next steps would be. Shayla
explained the next steps would be to keep meeting with property owners and continue working
with the County. She stated this item would be going back to the Parks Commission on
Wednesday for more discussion.
Haas made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the drafting of preliminary design documents
not to exceed $13,000.
All Ayes. Motion carried.
Sunset Lake Future Park Master Plan
At the meeting of October 18, 2018, the Parks Commission approved a park dedication proposal
for The Preserve on Sunset Lake. Parks Planner Shayla Denaway explained the proposal
included dedication of .93 acres of land on Sunset Lake adjacent to the .7 acre city -owned
parcel. At the time of the development approvals, there was neighborhood interest in those
parcels being developed into a park. Both the Parks Commission and the City Council included
planning the future park in their 2019 goals and funding was included in the Parks CIP for
2019. WSB and Associates had prepared a planning proposal and completed an initial site
evaluation. The Parks Commission had recommended approval of the proposal from WSB and
Associates to master plan the future park on Sunset Lake.
Miron made motion, Klein seconded, to approve the proposal to master plan the future park on
Sunset Lake.
All Ayes. Motion carried.

Special Event Permit - Memorandum
Date: August 29, 2019, for the September 3, 2019, Council Meeting
Re: Hugo Legion Craft Show and Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 5, 2019
1. BACKGROUND:
The Hugo American Legion has applied for a Special Event Permit to hold a craft show
and Oktoberfest on Saturday, October 5, 2019. A Special Event Permit approved by
Council is necessary because alcohol will be sold outdoors, there may be more than 200
people in attendance, it will extend after dark, and there will be amplified music.
2. DESCRIPTION OF EVENT:
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and will consist a craft show with craft
vendors inside and outside of the building, food vendors, D.J. music and a bean bag
tournament. Note: The Fire Department Open House is taking place the same day with
the 5K run beginning at 9 a.m. and the open house from 11-3 p.m.
The event is outlined in detail below.
• Parking
The south portion of the Legion parking lot will be used for vendors, D.J. and a bean
bag tournament. MGM Liquors, located adjacent to the east, has agreed to allow
parking in their lot with the exception of the first two rows. Kidz Place Daycare and
North Country Auto have also granted permission to park in their lots. Parking along
the streets will also be available and likely used for this event and the Fire
Department Open House.
• Signage
The applicant has received permission from the North County Auto property owner to
locate a sign on the property advertising the event. Staff will continue to work with
the applicant on the placement of this sign.
• Structures and Tents
There will be no stage structure, and tents will be small vendor tents, properly
anchored.
• Bathroom facilities/waste management
Not all attendees will be there at the same time, and it is felt the bathroom facilities
and waste facilities inside the building will be adequate. Legion staff will be required
to remove all trash, if any, from the parking areas at the close of the event.
• Food and Liquor
Alcohol will be served in a fenced in area. Identification will be checked and wrist
bands issued to those 21 years of age and older. At all times, there will be security at
the entrances to ensure no alcohol leaves the fenced area. There will be three food
trucks on the property, and food may also be served from the Legion kitchen.
• Security
Security has been discussed with the applicant and it has been decided there is no
need to hire a deputy to be on duty. The attendees of the event will be spread out
during the day, and employees of Legion will be monitoring liquor consumption.
3. REQUIREMENTS:
The applicant has provided the City the completed permit and permit fee. In accordance
with this permit, the applicant shall conduct the event as described herein and meet the
following conditions:
Prior to the Event
1. The applicant will provide the City a signed Hold Harmless Agreement.
2. The applicant will provide a Certificate of Liquor Liability Insurance showing
the City of Hugo as additionally insured for this event.
The applicant will work with staff on placement of an off -site sign for the
event.
4. The area serving alcohol will be enclosed by fencing.
5. The applicant will post signs prohibiting alcohol out of fenced area.
6. All tents and will be adequately anchored.
During the Event
7. The applicant shall conduct the event in accordance with the approved plans
submitted with the application.
8. The applicant shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws,
rules, regulations, and ordinances.
9. All food vendors will be properly licensed.
10. Security will be posted at all entrances/exits to ensure no alcohol leaves the
tent area.
11. Any report of alcohol outside the fenced area will result in all alcohol sales
and consumption to cease outdoors for the remainder of the event.
12. All outdoor activities will end by 9 p.m.
After the Event
13. All signage for the event, not located on the Legion property, will be removed
immediately after the event.
14. Litter will be removed from all parking areas.
4. CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION:
The Legion held this same event last year with no issues. Staff feels the event is being
well planned and recommends Council approve the event subject to the conditions above.
Minor changes to this permit may be approved by City staff. Changes staff deems to be
significant will require Council review and approval.
Agenda Number G.5
CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION
STAFF REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Rachel Juba, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Rosemary Apartments — MWF Properties. Variance from Building
Height Requirements.
DATE: August 29, 2019, for the City Council meeting of September 3, 2019
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Medium Density Residential (MD)
ZONING: Medium Density Multiple Family Residential (R-5)
REVIEW DEADLINE: 60-day Review Waived
1. BOARD OF ZONING AND ADJUSTMENTS UPDATE:
At its Thursday, August 22, 2019, meeting the Board held a public hearing and considered the
request. Staff provided background on the request and recommended approval of the variance.
There was one person that spoke during the public hearing. It was a representative from Christ
Lutheran Church. He had questions about grading and mentioned the church may want to
expand. The applicant also spoke during the meeting and provided additional background on the
request. The Board agreed that the request met the criteria necessary to approve the request and
unanimously recommended approval of the variance to the City Council.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval of a variance to allow the apartment building to be 45 feet
and 7 inches tall at the highest point of the building (roof ridge), where 35 feet is required by
ordinance. The building is a three-story apartment with underground parking.
3. BACKGROUND:
On April 15, 2019, the City Council approved a site plan and conditional use permit for
Rosemary Apartments. It is a three-story building with 45 units. The property is located on
Rosemary Way and west of Everton Avenue in the Frenchman Place development. At the time of
site plan approval the building elevation proposed was over 35 feet in height. The developer
Page 2
stated that the building height is a result of comments from staff on the architecture, but they will
work on reducing the height. Staff agreed that the building height was a result of staff comments.
The developer further stated if they can't meet the building height requirements, they would
apply for a variance. The site plan and building architecture is generally the same as what was
reviewed during the site plan approval process.
Building Code versus Zoning Code
During the review of this variance request staff discovered there is a discrepancy between the
building code and zoning code. The building code defines building height as the height of the
building from average grade to the mid -point of the highest peak. In this case the building height
would be 38 feet and 9 inches. The zoning code defines building height as the vertical distance
above mean (average) ground level to the top of a flat roof, or to the highest point on a pitched,
hip or gable roof. In this case the building height is 45 feet and 7 inches. Since the maximum
height requirement is in the zoning code, the applicant has measured the height of the building to
the top of the highest point on the building. The building code does not have a maximum height
requirement.
Three -Story Townhomes
There are three-story townhomes that have been approved and constructed in the City. An
example of these buildings are in the Victor Gardens development. The buildings are 42 feet tall
at their highest peak and 36 feet tall to the mid -point of the highest peak. The buildings are
typically setback 30 feet from the road.
4. LEVEL OF DISCRETION IN DECISION -MAKING
The City's discretion in approving or denying a variance is limited to whether or not the
proposed project meets the standards in the Zoning Ordinance for a variance. The City has a
higher level of discretion with a variance because the burden of proof is on the applicant to show
that they meet the standards in the ordinance.
5. CONTEXT:
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
The properties to the north are zoned Agricultural (AG) and are occupied by large lots and single
family homes. The property to the east is zoned Medium Density Multiple Family Residential (R-
5) and is occupied by Christ Lutheran Church. The properties to the south are zoned General
Business (C-2) and are vacant. The property to the west is zoned Planned Unit Development
(PUD) is occupied by townhomes.
2
Page 3
B. Natural Characteristics of Site
The property is currently vacant and contains several wetlands. The upland of the property was
used for stockpiling of dirt, but is normally generally flat.
6. ANALYSIS:
Variance
Building Height
The R-5 zoning district has a maximum building height of 35 feet. They are proposing the height
of the building to be 45 feet and 7 inches tall, where 35 feet is required by ordinance, therefore a
variance is required.
Staff used these standards to review the variance request and finds that it meets the standards as
follows:
(1) Law. The variance as requested is permissible by law.
The proposed variance is permissible by law.
(2) Practical Difficulties. The applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the provisions of the zoning regulations. The term "Practical
Difficulties " as used in the granting of a variance means:
a. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable
manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance and;
The applicant is requesting to construct a three-story apartment with a pitched roof. The
architecture of the building is consistent with the Multi -Family Design Guidelines and
other townhomes developments in the City. The zoning district allows apartments with
approval of a site plan and conditional use permit, which was approved by the City on
April 15, 2019.
The applicant is requesting to use the property in a reasonable manner.
b. Unique Circumstances. The plight of property owner is due to circumstances unique to
the property not created by the landowner and;
The 18 acre property has several wetlands creating approximately 4.5 buildable acres.
The zoning district allows apartment development up to 10 units per acre. The site plan
and general architecture has been approved by the City Council. The property is unique in
that the location of the buildable area and largest area to build is central to the site. The
building will be located over 200 feet away from the street and nearby homes. The impact
Page 4
of the building being 10 feet taller than what is allowed by ordinance is minimized
because of the location of the building and its proximity to the road and other residential
development.
c. Character o Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood.
The City's Comprehensive Plan guides the land use for the site as Medium Density
Residential (MD). The site is located between a commercial area, large lot residential,
and a townhome development. The property is part of the Frenchman Place development
that was master planned in 2008. There are several lots in the development that were
proposed to be a combination of institutional, residential, and commercial uses.
The building is also centrally located within the site and will not overshadow existing
buildings and will not noticeably impact the surrounding development. Unlike other
residential developments, the building is further away from adjacent properties and roads.
The building is approximately 200 feet from Rosemary Way and approximately 250 feet
away from the nearest townhome to the west.
The City Multi -Family Design Guidelines have specific design requirements for multi-
family buildings. The applicant has done a good job complying with the design guidelines
and the proposed building is attractive and blends in with the surrounding area. If the
variance is not granted, the building design would change significantly and would likely
result in a flat roof building. The residential developments in this area all have pitched
roofs and staff recommends the proposed building have a pitch roof to be consistent with
the other residential developments in the area.
The apartment building is compatible with the master plan, the surrounding development,
and will not alter the character of the area.
It is in staff s opinion that the applicant has practical difficulties in meeting the zoning
requirement.
(3) Spirit and Intent. The granting of the variance would be in keeping with the spirit and intent
of this chapter and with the policies of the City s Comprehensive Plan.
The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to allow a certain building height without adversely
impacting the character of established areas and ensuring the building is consistent with the
surrounding development. The building is centrally located within the site, further away from
adjacent properties and roads than most other developments, and will not overshadow existing
buildings. The height of the building will not adversely impact the character of the area and will
be consistent with the surrounding development. The granting of the variance will keep with the
spirit and intent of the ordinance.

(4) Prohibited Use. The variance, if granted, shall not have the effect of allowing any use
prohibited in the district.
An apartment is allowed in the Medium Density Multiple Family Residential (R-5) district with
approval of a conditional use permit. The conditional use permit has been approved by the City
Council.
(5) Hazard Consideration. The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood
protection than required by this chapter. The variance shall be determined the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief, and the variance shall not be issued
within any designated regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood
discharge would result.
The property is not located within a floodplain designated by FEMA.
(6) Septic and Well Compliance. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject
property is in compliance with city and state codes.
The property is served with municipal sewer and water.
It's in staff s opinion that the applicant has met the criteria to approve the variance request.
7. CONCLUSION:
The City Multi -Family Design Guidelines have specific design requirements for multi -family
buildings. The applicant has done a good job complying with the design guidelines and the
proposed building is attractive and blends in with the surrounding area. If the variance is not
granted, the building design would change significantly and would likely result in a flat roof
building. The residential developments in this area all have pitched roofs and staff recommends
the proposed building have a pitch roof to be consistent with the other residential developments
in the area.
The building is centrally located within the site, further away from adjacent properties and roads
than most residential developments. It will not overshadow existing buildings and will not
noticeably change the character of the surrounding development.
Staff finds that the proposal meets all the requirements necessary for the City to approve a
variance as outlined in the City Code, subject to the attached resolution.
8. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended approval of the variance for Rosemary Apartments to allow the building to
be 45 feet 7 inches, where 35 feet is required by ordinance.

9. BOARD RECOMMENDATION:

RESOLUTION 2019
APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR MWF PROPERTIES FOR AN APARTMENT
BUILDING ON THE PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF ROSEMARY WAY
AND WEST OF EVERTON AVENUE NORTH
WHEREAS, MWF Properties, has requested approval of a variance to allow an
apartment building to be 45 feet and 7 inches, where 35 feet is required by ordinance on
the property legally described as;
Outlot B, Frenchman Place
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning and Adjustments has reviewed said variance at a duly
called a public hearing on August 22, 2019, and recommends approval subject to the
findings listed in this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF HUGO, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the
variance for MWF Properties to allow an apartment building to be 45 feet and 7 inches,
where 35 feet is required by ordinance with the following findings:
1. The proposed variance is permissible by law.
2. The applicant is requesting to construct a three-story apartment with a pitched
roof. The architecture of the building is consistent with the Multi -Family Design
Guidelines and other townhomes developments in the City. The zoning district
allowed apartments with approval of a site plan and conditional use permit, which
was approved by the City on April 15, 2019.
3. The 18 acre property has several wetlands creating approximately 4.5 buildable
acres. The zoning district allows apartment development up to 10 units per acre.
The site plan and general architecture has been approved by the City Council. The
property is unique in that the location of the buildable area and largest area to
build is central to the site. The building will be located over 200 feet away from
the street and nearby homes. The impact of the building being 10 feet taller than
what is allowed by ordinance is minimized because of the location of the building
and its proximity to the road and other residential development.
4. The City's Comprehensive Plan guides the land use for the site as Medium
Density Residential (MD). The site is located between a commercial area, large
lot residential, and a townhome development. The property is part of the
Frenchman Place development that was master planned in 2008. There are several
lots in the development that were proposed to be a combination of institutional,
residential, and commercial uses.
5. The building is also centrally located within the site and will not overshadow
existing buildings and will not noticeably impact the surrounding development.
Unlike other residential developments, the building is further away from adjacent
Resolution 2019-
Page 2
properties and roads. The building is approximately 200 feet from Rosemary Way
and approximately 250 feet away from the nearest townhome to the west.
6. The City Multi -Family Design Guidelines have specific design requirements for
multi -family buildings. The applicant has done a good job complying with the
design guidelines and the proposed building is attractive and blends in with the
surrounding area. If the variance is not granted, the building design would change
significantly and would likely result in a flat roof building. The residential
developments in this area all have pitched roofs and staff recommends the
proposed building have a pitch roof to be consistent with the other residential
developments in the area. The apartment building is compatible with the master
plan, the surrounding development, and will not alter the character of the area.
7. The spirit and intent of the ordinance is to allow a certain building height without
adversely impacting the character of established areas and ensuring the building is
consistent with the surrounding development. The building is centrally located
within the site, further away from adjacent properties and roads than most other
developments, and will not overshadow existing buildings. The height of the
building will not adversely impact the character of the area and will be consistent
with the surrounding development. The granting of the variance will keep with
the spirit and intent of the ordinance.
8. An apartment is allowed in the Medium Density Multiple Family Residential (R-
5) district with approval of a conditional use permit.
9. The property is not located within a floodplain designated by FEMA.
10. The property is served with municipal sewer and water.

Variance Narrative
July 25t", 2019
Legal Description:
Outlot B, FRENCHMAN PLACE, 1" Addition
Copies of previous Variances, Site Plan Approvals, Conditional Use Permits, or other permits for the
site:
A conditional use permit and site plan were recommended for approval by the planning commission on
April 4t", 2019 and the City Council on April 15t", 2019.
Description of Variance Requested:
The variance requested is to exceed the R-5 maximum building height of 35 feet as described in Sec 90-
101 of the Hugo City Code. The proposed building height is 35'9 feet from the ground floor elevation to
the midpoint of the roof. This equates to 38'9 height from average grade to the midpoint of the roof or
45'7 from the average grade to the roof ridge.
The proposed elevations submitted with this variance application are approximately 3 feet less than
those submitted with the conditional use permit. These elevations were designed in accordance with
the City of Hugo design standards. The proposed development is consistent with all other City
standards.
How criteria under Sec 90-38, Sub C, 1-6 has been satisfied:
Please see the below findings for approval for the proposed development:
Law. The variance as requested is permissible by law.
Practical difficulties:
1. Reasonable use. The proposal will utilize the property in a reasonable manner that
is consistent with the intent of the ordinance.
2. Unique circumstances. While the property is over 18 acres in total, the significant
number of wetlands on the site reduce the buildable acreage to under 4.8 acres. The shape of the
remaining buildable acreage is results in few building configurations that will remain consistent
with the City's ordinances. Additionally, the 100 year flood elevation requires the building floor
elevation be no lower than 919, higher than it otherwise would be if the flood plane were not a
factor. This results in additional grading challenges, further limiting the options for the site. The
topography, shape, high water table, and wetlands on the site create unique circumstances, at no
fault of the owner, that result in limited site and building configurations for the proposed
development which are contributing factors to the need for the requested variance.
3. Character of neighborhood. The building was designed to be consistent with the
character of the neighborhood.
4. Spirit and intent. The proposed project is consistent with the spirit and intent of the zoning
ordinance and land use designation for the site as outlined in the comprehensive plan.
Prohibited use. The variance, if granted, shall not have the effect of allowing any use prohibited
in the district.
Hazard consideration. The variance, if granted, shall not permit a lower degree of flood
protection than required by this chapter. The variance shall be determined the minimum
necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief, and the variance shall not be issued
within any designated regulatory floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood
discharge would result.
Septic and well compliance. The sewage treatment system and water system of the subject
property is in compliance with city and state codes.
