Update on Gravel Roads
City Engineer Mark Erichson explained that for a number of years, Hugo has had performance
issues with a number of its gravel roads. In 2018, the City Council authorized further evaluation
of these gravel roads and a number of work sessions followed. Erichson explained the process
they went through to evaluate the roads, and he reviewed their findings. This resulted in a
recommendation to reclaim the gravel roads (mix the layers of existing gravel within the road
structure), yielding a better gradation of material. Council had authorized test sections to be
completed in 2018 on Ingersoll Ave, 175th Street, Inwood Ave, and 180th Street (1.67 miles). The
approach taken to correct the issue was to clean up the aggregate structure, modify the approach
to dust management, increase the cross slopes to shed water, and incorporate compaction into the
blading process. This had positive results, and the roads were performing well. The 2018 project
cost $12,000 plus staff time and traffic control. There was a remaining 5.5 miles of problematic
gravel roadways at an estimated cost of $40,000, plus staff time and traffic control, that staff was
recommending to move forward with in 2019.
Miron asked about the dust control on the roads, how it performed, and when it would be done.
Public Works Director Scott Anderson replied the plan was to reduce dust control and adjust the
application up or down dependent on how the roads performed. Timing would be subject to the
Public Works Department work load, and Anderson stated the weather was a big factor. The plan
was to put chloride down in mid-June and possibly again in mid-August.

Weidt made motion, Miron seconded, to move forward with receiving quotes for reclaiming the

Discussion on “No Parking” Resolution for Rosemary Way
At the April 15, 2019, City Council meeting, Council considered the Site Plan and Conditional
Use Permit for the Rosemary Apartments. During the discussion, a comment regarding parking
on Rosemary Way had come up from an individual in the audience. City Engineer Mark Erichson
explained that Rosemary Way was currently designed as a 32-ft wide roadway and was part of the
City’s State Aid Roadway system. Currently, there were not any parking restrictions along
Rosemary Way. A number of options exist such as leaving the roadway with no parking
restrictions, restrict parking on only one side, and restrict parking on both sides. Rosemary Way
is a state aid roadway; however, the width doesn’t meet their requirements for parking on both
sides of the roadway and the long-term plan for Rosemary Way, as identified in the
Comprehensive Plan, would not include parking along Rosemary Way. He recommend Council
approve a no parking resolution and post Rosemary Way as no parking.
Haas made motion, Petryk seconded to approve RESOLUTION 2019-23 RESTRICTING
PARKING ALONG ROSEMARY WAY FROM EVERTON AVENUE NORTH TO
ELMCREST AVENUE NORTH.

PLANNING AND ZONING
APPLICATION
STAFF REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Rachel Juba, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Hugo Ventures, LLC – Preliminary Plat and PUD Amendment for a
Waters Edge 6th Addition.
DATE: May 15, 2019, for the City Council meeting of May 20, 2019
ZONING: Planned Unit Development (PUD)
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Low Density Residential (LD)
DEADLINE DATE: 120-days – July 16, 2019
1. PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE:
At its May 9, 2019, meeting the Planning Commission held a public hearing and considered the
request. There was one resident, besides the applicant that spoke during the hearing. The
residents had concerns about increased traffic at the Heritage Parkway and Education Drive
intersection in front of Oneka Elementary School. She asked if there was going to be more traffic
control in the area. Staff stated that there are school zone signs in the area that flash during
school hours and the sheriff’s department has done extra patrol in the area recently. Staff does
not expect a large amount of additional traffic with the development. Staff recommended
approval of the applications.
The Planning Commission generally liked the plan and had a few general questions. The
applicant noted that the development would have its own sub-association as part of the Waters
Edge Master Association. The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
applications of preliminary plat and PUD amendment for Waters Edge 6th Addition, subject to
the conditions listed in the resolution.
Page 2
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary plat and PUD amendment to revise the
Waters Edge preliminary plat and PUD general plan to create 37 single family villa style (slab on
grade patio homes) lots and 1 outlot (common space), where 104 townhome units where
previously approved. The overall net density for this phase of the project will be approximately 4
units per acre.
3. BACKGROUND:
The originally approved Waters Edge preliminary plat and PUD general plan included a total of
605 units on approximately 185 acres with an overall net density of 4.3 units per acre. The
development was approved in 2002. The project is a mix of housing styles including single
family detached homes, patio homes (villa), manor townhomes, and village townhomes. Each
housing styles have their own Homeowners Association (HOA) and are part of the Master HOA
for Water Edge.
This property is approximately 13 acres and was final platted as “Waters Edge 4th Addition”
creating 16 townhome lots which allowed for 120 townhome units including 6-unit and 8-unit
buildings. The streets, utilities, lighting, and some landscaping has been installed for the
development. However, only 16 units in two buildings were constructed, leaving 14 townhome
lots and 104 units vacant and not built.
3. CONTEXT:
A. Surrounding land Use and Zoning
The properties to the north and east are zoned PUD and are occupied by townhomes, single
family homes, and patios homes (villas) in the Waters Edge residential development. The
properties to the south are zoned Agricultural (AG) and are occupied by large lots and single
family homes. The properties to the west are zoned PUD and are occupied by townhomes and
single family homes in the Heritage Ponds residential development.
B. Natural Characteristics of Site
The property has been previously graded for three-story 6 to 8 unit townhome buildings. The
streets, utilities, lighting, and some landscaping has been installed. The property will need to be
graded for the proposed single family villa style (patio) homes.
4. ANALYSIS:
A. Level of Discretion in Decision Making
The City has relatively high level of discretion in approving a PUD amendment. A PUD
amendment must be consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan. The City may impose
Page 3
reasonable requirements in a PUD not otherwise required if the City deems it necessary to
promote the general health, safety, and welfare of the community.
The City’s discretion in approving or denying a preliminary plat is limited to whether or not the
proposed plat meets the standards outlined in the subdivision regulations in the City Code. If it
meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary plat.
B. Consistency with Ordinance Standards
Preliminary Plat and Planned Unit Development (PUD) Amendment
The use of the PUD zoning allows the developer zoning ordinance flexibility to create a master
planned development. The PUD zoning is tied to a specific PUD general plan. This project is tied
to the Waters Edge PUD general plan.
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan shows the land use being Low Density Residential (LD). The
PUD amendment is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in terms of land use and density. It
is in staff’s opinion that the Waters Edge PUD general plan has offered a creative and efficient
method to planning the site, all which meets the intent of the PUD ordinance.
The proposed PUD amendment is to allow 37 single family villa style home (patio homes),
where 120 three-story 6 to 8 townhome units were approved. There are patio homes in the
Waters Edge development and there are regulations for patio homes for the development. The
density is proposed to the less than what was originally approved, but still complies with the
minimum density required. Since the approval of the Waters Edge development in 2002, the
housing market has changed quite a bit. The construction of townhomes has slowed down
significantly. The applicant would like to build single family villa style homes (patio homes),
instead of the approved townhomes.
Lot Sizes
The PUD district does not have minimum standards for lots sizes for the Waters Edge
development. The maximum development density for a PUD in the R-3 zoning district is 4 units
per 1 acre. The density range for the Low Density Residential (LD) land use is 2 to 4 units per
acre. The applicant is proposing a residential net density of approximately 4 units per acre, which
fits the requirements of a PUD. Although the development allows flexibility on lot sizes and
setbacks, the density meets the ordinance standards.
Setbacks
Setbacks for the home styles where established the Waters Edge PUD approval in 2002.
The patio homes would be located on envelope lots and surrounded by a common lot. The
proposed units would comply with the following standards:
Page 4
Minimum front yard setback from private drive
curb
25 feet
Minimum side yard setback 10 feet
Minimum side yard setback (internal) 15 feet between buildings
Minimum rear yard setback 25 feet
Minimum rear yard setback (internal) 15 feet between buildings
Rear yard and setback around perimeter of the
site (exterior property lines) for Lots 20 - 23
25 feet
However, lots 20 – 23 do not meet the rear yard or perimeter setback of 25 feet from the exterior
property lines. The area behind the four lots is a wetland and stormwater management area. This
area will be not be built on and will be preserved. Staff is comfortable with the request to have
these lots be a minimum of 15 feet from the perimeter property line for lots 20 – 23.
Landscaping
Section 90-181 Landscaping of the City Code provides requirements for landscaping in
residential developments. The ordinance requires a minimum of 2 deciduous shade trees in the
front yard of each home site. The applicant is asking for flexibility from the landscape
requirements. The applicant is proposed a mix of deciduous shade trees, coniferous (evergreen)
trees, and ornamental trees around the homes site and in the common areas for a total of 133
trees. This totals 3.6 trees per home site, exceeding the number of trees required. It is in staff’s
opinion that this is a good alternative to the City Code requirements and believes the intent of the
City is meet.
There are 97 existing trees along the west and south property lines that where installed by the
previous developer and will remain. This was part of the overall Waters Edge PUD landscape
plan. Staff did not use these existing trees in the count for proposed landscape flexibility.
Staff recommends that the plan be revised to remove trees that may interfere with utilities or
drainage. This is listed as a condition in the resolution. The plan shall be reviewed and approved
by staff prior to final plat approval.
Lighting
Street lighting has already been installed along the private streets.
Streets/Access
The private streets have already been installed for the development. No street construction is
proposed except minor curb work. Cross access and maintenance agreements for the streets shall
be recorded with the final plat.
Page 5
Sidewalks and Trails
Sidewalks have already been installed along the south side of Education Drive (private street).
There are no additional sidewalks proposed for the development.
The developer has proposed to dedicate a 12 foot trail easement starting from the north side of lot
20 and along the west property line to connect to Elmcrest Avenue. The trail is not proposed to
be built with the project. At this time there is not a trail along Elmcrest Avenue. It is in staff’s
opinion that the trail easement is in a good location and at the time the properties to the south
develop, it would provide good connections to parks in the area and the Oneka Elementary
School. It will also provide access to the commercial services along County Road 8.
Grading/Drainage/Wetlands
There is some grading that is proposed for the development. The building pads were graded
assuming the three-story townhomes would be built. There will be dirt removed from the
building pads and grading will occur for the proposed single family villa style homes (patio
homes).
Stormwater management facilities have already been installed to accommodate the development
with previous phases. An analysis has been performed to ensure the stormwater management
facilities have been designed and built to serve the proposed development. The overall
impervious surface coverage is less that what was previously approved. The City Engineer has
determined that the stormwater facilities are appropriately sized to serve the proposed
development.
There are several retaining walls proposed with the development. The retaining shall be
maintained by the HOA. Any retaining was over 48 inches will be required to have a fence along
the top. Staff recommends a decorative style fence. Staff has added as a condition of approval
that the fence design be decorative and approved by staff prior to installation.
No wetland impacts are proposed with the development.
Utilities
Sanitary sewer, storm sewer and watermain has already been installed for the development.
However, in order to serve the proposed single family villa style homes (patio homes) private
sanitary sewer, storm sewer and watermain. The previous utilities that were installed were
constructed to have one main connection to each 6 and 8 unit townhome building. Each proposed
unit will need individual connections requiring the change for private utilities. The HOA will be
responsible for the private utilities.
Page 6
Water Re-use
Water reuse will be utilized as part of this development. Water for irrigation will be delivered to
the site from the Water’s Edge Phase II Stormwater Reuse Improvement Project.
Architecture
The applicant has provided four building designs for the single family villa style home (patio
homes). The applicant has also provided a design and color palette for the homes. The PUD
requires no adjacent home have the same front elevation and that the buildings shall have varied
and interesting detailing. Each home shall utilize architectural accent features such as dormers,
bay windows, arched windows, etc.
The building designs that the applicant has submitted are a good start to meeting the intent of the
PUD requirements. Staff will continue to work with the applicant on the home design prior to
final plat approval. The design shall be reviewed and approved by staff.
Homeowners Association
It is staff’s understanding that the proposed single family villa style homes (patio homes) will be
part of the Master HOA for the Waters Edge Development, but will have their own sub-
association. The HOA will be responsible for maintenance of the private streets/sidewalks and
utilities, landscaping, retaining walls, and common space.
Park Dedication
Park dedication requirements have been fulfilled with the first phase of this development when
the park land was dedicated to the City. No additional dedication is due with this phase.
5. CONCLUSION:
Staff has reviewed the preliminary plat and PUD amendment for consistency with the standards
outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and Waters Edge PUD general plan, and finds that the
proposed PUD amendment is consistent with the standards.
6. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat and PUD amendment, subject to the
conditions listed in the resolution.
7. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission generally liked the plan and had a few general questions. The
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the applications of preliminary
Page 7
plat and PUD amendment for Waters Edge 6th Addition, subject to the conditions listed in the
resolution.

Re: Revised Preliminary Plat Review
Waters Edge 6th Addition
WSB Project No. 3288-090
Dear Ms. Juba:
We have reviewed the revised preliminary plat submittal for the above-referenced project. In
particular, we have reviewed the following plans related to this particular request:
Revised Preliminary Plans dated 4/22/19 by Landform
Based on the review of the revised preliminary plan documents, we offer the following comments
related to this application:
Preliminary Plat
1. The Plat accurately indicates drainage and utility easements over the entirety of lot 38,
which includes all areas outside of each of the 37 individual lots.
Development Agreement
2. There are a number of development fees outlined within the City’s Fee Schedule that will
become due as part of the final plat.
Grading, Street, and Utility Plans
3. Plans and Development Agreement will need to clearly identify maintenance responsibilities
for street, sanitary sewer, watermain, storm sewer, and retaining walls etc. The main line
sanitary sewer and watermain with be public infrastructure while the remaining will be private.
Wetland/Drainage
4. No wetland impacts are proposed as part of the proposed improvements.
5. Analysis was performed to ensure previous stormwater management facilities are
appropriately sized. Overall there is less impervious coverage that the previously approved
project.
Revised Water Reuse Plan
6. Water reuse will be utilized as part of this development. Water will be delivered to the site
from the Water’s Edge Phase II Stormwater Reuse Improvement Project.

Dear Ms. Juba,
This letter is to request that the PUD Amendment application that I previou sly filed for the Waters
Edge 6th Addition be transferred to Hugo Ventures LLC as the developer instead of myself. All the
contact information in terms of address and phone numbers remain the same.
Hugo Ventures was formed by myself to acquire the vacant lots 3 -16 and the common area lot 17 and
I remain the majority LLC member and Treasurer. That purchase was completed on December 31,
2018.
As you are aware, after the PUD Amendment into 37 villa lots, Homes by Legacy LLC will be acquiring
the lots and completing the building of the homes and any necessary private infrastructure
improvements for each phase section. It is anticipated that I will likely remain involved as a
consultant to Homes by Legacy LLC to assist in managing the infrastructure improvements.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns.
Sincerely,
Fred Stelter

Water’s Edge Sixth Addition
Compliance with Multi-family Design Guidelines
April 16, 2018
The following discusses how the proposed Villa homes for Waters Edge Sixth Addition will comply with
the various design standards found in Section III of the City of Hugo Multi-family Development Design
Guidelines adopted December 19, 2005.
A. GENERAL
This section stresses creative site planning and quality architecture to avoid monotony. The
proposed PUD Amendment will provide a new villa style home to the Waters Edge Community
and thus variety from the existing adjacent row townhomes. The proposal is for three base
model homes and the amended plat allows for some homes to have patios and others three car
garages. A large color palette for the exterior will also provide diversity with no usage of the
same color palette for any adjacent home allowed. Also, no same model of home will be
allowed adjacent to another to further break up any potential monotony of the homes.
B. SITE PLANNING BASICS
This section stresses placement of building to avoid a monotonous, barrack-style of
development and minimizing transitions from existing developments to minimize impacts. The
PUD Amendment changes the design concept from 106 units of row townhomes to 37 villa style
single family homes. This greatly reduces the impact on the existing townhome units that have
been built and breaks up the potential monotony of adding similar row townhome units with
the variety of each villa home with the large potential color palette and variety of home models.
C. BUILDING SETBACKS
This section discusses setbacks and certain desired building designs for window and porches for
multi-family units to create a better sense of community. The proposed villa homes have a
number of windows on all sides and a small front porch area and so incorporate this suggestion.
The setbacks for the entire Waters Edge development were previously approved and will be
complied with unless otherwise noted to accommodate certain lots.
D. BUILDING MASS
This section discusses that the units should be articulated to break-up the building façade on all
elevations and how it might be accomplished. The proposed villa units will have a variety of
elements that break up the façade including columns, porches, window and dormers.
Additionally, the use of a stone façade on a portion of the first level will further accomplish this
goal. The building materials proposed will include Smartside siding and stone on the front side
of the villa unit and vinyl siding on the other three sides.
E. ARCHITECTURE
This section discusses a variety of architectural elements. The proposed architecture elements
for the front side of the villa units to use stone accent on the lower portion and Smartside lap
siding combined with the variety of models and color palette will provide a unique design for
the units. Vinyl lap siding will be used on the other three sides with a variety window sizes and
shapes to further enhance the architectural design and appeal.
F. TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
This section discusses the street design. The Waters Edge development street design was
previously approved and the streets are built. The proposed villa design utilizes the existing
streets and so the garages will face the private street frontage. The existing streets also provide
for a circular flow thru the development and so is of good design for traffic flow. A proposed
trail easement will be incorporated into the west side of the proposed development area to
allow for future addition of a trail.
G. STREETS, PUBLIC SPACE AND AMENITIES
The PUD for the entire Waters Edge development was previously approved which included the
street design, driveway setback minimums, parking spaces, mailbox clusters, common open
space and amenities which included the club house and pool. Accordingly, these items are
complied with under that PUD approval. Additional items that are relevant in this section relate
to garages and landscaping.
The villa home design has the garages even with the front of the home with the front door
entrance set back to allow for a small porch area. This avoids a garage forward or “snout-nose”
design which is highly discouraged in the design guidelines. Given the existing street design it is
not possible to not have the garages face the street. All garages will be at least two-car designs.
The HOA documents will include language discouraging overnight parking in driveways or use of
garages as storage units.
The proposed separate landscaping plan for the new villa homes provide a variety of trees and
shrubs to meet the requirements.
February 27th, 2019
To Whom It May Concern:
The Waters Edge Community Association Inc. (Master) Board of Directors has met and
discussed the plans presented by Fred Stelter that involves the undeveloped areas adjacent to
Waters Edge Village Homes. The Master Board is in support of the addition of the (proposed)
new association Waters Edge Villa Homes Association (intended name but not finalized). The
Board is in agreement that pending review and approval of all appropriate documentation the
Master Board will allow Waters Edge Villa Homes(intended name but not finalized) to join and
become a member of Waters Edge Community Association.
If you have any additional questions about this please let Management know at 651 -407-7047
or email kariross@gaughancompanies.com.
Thank you.

Agenda Number G.9
CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING
APPLICATION STAFF REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Emily Weber, Community Development Assistant
SUBJECT: Matt Wlaschin – Variance from the height regulations for an accessory
building located at 7755 125th Street North.
DATE: May 16, 2019 for the City Council Meeting on May 20, 2019.
ZONING: Rural Residential (RR).
REVIEW DEADLINE: June 17, 2019.
1. BOARD OF ZONING UPDATE:
At its May 9, 2019 meeting, the Board considered the variance request and held a public hearing.
Staff provided background on the request and recommended approval. There was no one that spoke
during the public hearing. The Board agreed that the request met the criteria necessary to approve
the variance and recommended approval of the resolution for the variance request to the City
Council.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting a variance from the height regulations to allow a maximum of 25 feet
in height for the proposed accessory building. The City Code requires that no accessory building
can exceed the height of the principal building (home) on the property. The height of the principal
building is 20 feet, therefore a variance is required. The property is six acres and is located within
the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district.
3. LEVEL OF CITY 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.
4. ANALYSIS:
Wlaschin Variance
Page 2
2
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
The properties to the north are zoned RR and are generally occupied by single family homes on
two acre parcels. The properties to the east, south, and west are zoned PUD and are large, five to
ten acre lots that will be occupied by single family homes. The area is classified as Large Lot
Residential (LD) in the 2030 Land Use Plan.
B. Accessory Structure Height Variance
The City Code requires that no accessory building can exceed the height of the principal building
(home) on the property. The height of the principal building is 20 feet. The applicant is requesting
a variance to allow a maximum of 25 feet in height for the proposed accessory building.
5. VARIANCE STANDARDS:
The Board must review the requested variances with the standards outlined in Section 90-38 of the
land use regulations. Staff used these standards to review the variance request and finds the
following:
(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;
Accessory buildings are allowed in the RR zoning district. The applicant is proposing 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 property is unique in that it is a large lot (six acres) and is surrounded by parcels
similar in size or larger. The property has a primary structure that is a one level, walk out
style home with a height of 20 feet. There are two story homes in the area and they are
allowed in the zoning district. The property is also unique from the surrounding
properties because of the substantial stand of trees. There are full grown evergreen trees
that significantly cover the length of the property, screening much of the property from
public view.
c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood.
Wlaschin Variance
Page 3

Accessory buildings are common within this area and are allowed in the RR zoning district.
The surrounding development has lot sizes from five to ten acres and will generally have
primary structures that are two-story buildings, allowing for large accessory buildings on
the properties. There are existing accessory structures in the area that are similar in size
and height of the applicant’s proposed accessory building. The proposed height variance
would not noticeably alter the character of the area.
(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.
Accessory buildings are common in the RR zoning district. The intent of the ordinance is to allow
a property owner to have a reasonably sized accessory building on the property and to regulate the
height of accessory buildings based on the height of the primary structure on the property. This
prevents accessory buildings from dominating the appearance of the property.
The property is six acres and is allowed, by Code, up to three accessory buildings with a maximum
combined size of 4,000 square feet. The proposed accessory building will be located behind the
primary structure. The property has a large area of full grown evergreen trees along the length of
the property and is well screened from public view. The proposed accessory building will be
located east of the trees, and with additional landscape screening planted along the east side of the
proposed building, the structure will not be easily seen from the surrounding properties. It is the
staff’s opinion that the proposed building would not dominate the appearance of the property and
would be keeping 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.
Accessory structures are a permitted use in the RR zoning district.
(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 FEMA designated floodplain.
(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 by well and septic systems. Any additional septic system installed must
comply with city and state codes.
6. CONCLUSION:
It’s in staff’s opinion that the applicant meets all the criteria necessary to approve the variance
request.
7. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
