G.3 Approve Donation to the Hugo Fire Department from the Hugo American Legion
The Hugo American Legion would like to donate $1,500 to the Hugo Fire Department from pull-
tab proceeds for equipment. All donations to the Fire Department must be approved by the
Council. Staff recommends Council approve the donation of $1,500 to the Hugo Fire
Department.
G.4 Approve Ordinance Amending the Solar Ordinance
At its February 3, 2025, meeting the City Council heard an update on the Ordinance Review
Committee’s (ORC) recommendations for revisions to the solar farm ordinance. The City
Council authorized staff to begin drafting text amendments based on the ORC’s
recommendations. The proposed ordinance amendments include revisions to the performance
standards for solar farms, changes to the zoning districts where solar farms are allowed, and a
clarification to the definition of solar farms based on a recommendation from the City Attorney.
Staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the Planning
Commission, who held a public hearing at its March 13, 2025, meeting and took comments from
the public. Following discussion, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the City Council. Staff recommends Council
approve the ordinance amending the Solar Ordinance and the summary ordinance for
publication.
G.5 Approve Ordinance Amending the Parking Ordinance
City Code currently restricts parking of vehicles and trailers on City streets to a time limit of 72
hours, with the intent of prevention long-term storage of such equipment on public streets. The
City has received complaints detailing the long-term storage of trailers on public streets, and the
City has had difficulty in enforcing the intent. At its March 3, 2025, meeting, the City Council
authorized staff to work with the City Attorney to begin drafting text amendments to clarify the
ordinance’s intent. The proposed ordinance amendments include restricting on-street parking of
trailers to period of 24 cumulative hours over a seven-day period and stating that a trailer moved
less than three tenths of a mile from its original location will be considered to have remained
parked. Staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the Planning
Commission, who held a public hearing at its March 27, 2025, meeting. Following discussion,
the Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the proposed ordinance
amendments to the City Council. Staff recommends Council approve the ordinance amending
the Parking Ordinance.
G.6 Approve Shores of Oneka 5th Addition Final Plat and Development Agreement
M/I Homes is requesting approval of a final plat and development agreement in order to plat the
remaining 52 single family lots on an outlot in The Shores of Oneka Lake development. The lots
meet the minimum lot standards and requirements outlined in the regulations for The Shores of
Oneka Lake PUD. Staff recommends approval the resolution approving the Final Plat and
Development Agreement for The Shores of Oneka Lake 5th Addition.
G.7 Approve Resolution Approving Variance for 4938 121st Street North
Julie and Greg Manning have requested a variance to allow for the construction of a 2,336 square
foot attached garage and car port, where an attached garage of 1,678.25 square feet is allowed by
ordinance. The applicants have indicated that they would build a larger attached garage in place
of any accessory buildings. The applicants have agreed not to construct any accessory buildings
on the property as a condition of approval for the variance. There are practical difficulties in that
the lot is surrounded by all sides by other parcels, and the proposed variance meets the spirit and
intent of the ordinance with there being several buffers between the proposed garage and the
view of the road and any adjacent parcels. Staff recommended approval of the variance to the
Board of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments, who held a public hearing at its March 13, 2025,
meeting and considered the request. Following discussion, the Board voted unanimously to
recommend that the City Council approve the resolution approving the variance request for 4938
121st Street North.
G.8 Approve Resolution Approving Encroachment Agreement for 4789 162nd Way
Christopher and Tina Haglund have requested an encroachment agreement to allow construction
of a fence within a drainage and utility easement on property located at 4789 162nd Way North.
The Senior Engineering Technician has reviewed the location of the fence and is comfortable
with the request. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution approving the encroachment
agreement for 4789 162nd Way North.
G.9 Approve Access Easement Agreement for Property Located at 12895 Ethan Avenue
North
The property owner at 12895 Ethan Avenue North, Robert L Merch Revocable Trust, is
requesting an access easement over City owned property for an existing driveway to access the
home. The driveway has been in place for decades to access the home. The driveway crosses
City owned property along Ethan Avenue. In review of recorded documents with Washington
County they have stated that a vague access easement is in place, however it was not created
with a separate access easement. The property owner is asking to formalize the access easement,
since there is no other way to access the property. Staff recommends approval of the access
easement agreement, subject to City Attorney review and approval.
I.1 Approve Resolution Receiving Bids and Awarding the Contract for Beaver Ponds and
2025 Street Improvement Projects
Bids were received for the 2025 Beaver Ponds Area Street Improvement Project and the 2025
Street Improvement Project on March 20, 2025. The bids included an alternate for Ferrara
Avenue which is a private drive at the request of the HOA. They elected not to pursue moving
forward with the project. Staff recommends Council approve the resolution awarding the
contract to the low bidder, Northwest Asphalt, Inc. for the base bid, in the amount of
2,077,019.43. The engineer’s estimate was $2,267,961.00.
M.1 Metro Cities Annual Meeting on Wednesday, April 23,2025
Council has been invited to attend the Metro Cities Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday,
April 23, 2025, at 5:00 pm at the Roseville Skating Center. The meeting will include a social
hour, guest speaker Steve Grove, CEO and Publisher – Star Tribune, and a brief meeting to elect
members and officers to the Metro Cities Board of Directors. Staff recommends Council
schedule this as a meeting if they wish to attend.

Washington County Assessors Update - Appraisers Dan Squyres and Tyson Terry
Council Meeting Minutes for March 17, 2025
Page 2 of 8
Washington County Residential Property Appraiser Tyson Terry provided the Council with an
update on the County and Hugo property assessments in preparation for the Local Board of
Appeals and Adjustments meeting on April 3, 2025. He discussed the assessment year timeline,
the color coding of tax statements, and the quintile review mandated by Minnesota law for
assessing properties. There will be about 1,500 property reviews to complete this year. He said
the goal of an assessor is to equalize values and ensure they are fair and reasonable. He noted
that April 3 is the time for Hugo property owners to appeal their proposed taxable value for
2026.
There were 220 “arm’s length” residential sales in 2024. Tyson explained these were sales that
took place in a competitive and open market, helping to determine the sales ratio and adjust
values accordingly. The historical average sales price had increased to $405,100 from $300,311
over the past five years. While the volume of residential sales has declined, the average sales
price has remained stable. Tyson reported that, according to the Minnesota Realtors Association,
the median sales price of a single-family home in Hugo was $493,145, which was close to the
Washington County average and about $75,000 higher than in the Twin Cities. The number of
days on the market dropped significantly when interest rates were low last year. Hugo properties
were on the market for an average of 30 days. Over the past five years, the price paid for homes
had on average not been below 100% of the asking price. Lender-mediated sales have declined
across the county.
A large portion of recent sales in Hugo consisted of newly constructed homes. There were 170
new construction starts in Hugo in the past year, which was more than most cities except Cottage
Grove and Woodbury. Countywide, there were 1,122 new construction starts, with Hugo
accounting for 14% of them. Commercial sales had declined over the past two years. He
provided information on median home values, stating that they increased by 5% from last year
and are now equal to the 2023 value of $408,700. Tyson reviewed the historical class
adjustments, pointing out that the residential class adjustment decreased by 4% last year and
increased by 3.4% this year. He said he believed the County had a solid grasp on values and that
the market is stable.
He concluded his report by comparing closed sales data from the past three years, which showed
that the Twin Cities average declined by 31.8%, while Hugo saw a decrease of 19.1%. This
indicated that Hugo did not experience as significant a decline as other cities. Over the past year,
Hugo saw a 21.5% increase in closed sales, indicating that people were moving to the city.
Hugo Fire Department Annual Report – Fire Chief Jim Compton, Jr.
Fire Chief Jim Compton presented the Hugo Fire Department 2024 Annual Report. He began by
providing a breakdown of the 27 total staff positions, stating that there was a vacant lieutenant
position. The department responded to 411 calls in 2024, with 23 of them being mutual aid calls.
There were 56 alarm calls, which was a reduction compared to 2023, and he attributed it to the
reclassification of gas leaks and carbon monoxide issues.
There were 125 fire and service calls last year that resulted in $85.6 million in fire losses. Eleven
of those calls were for structure fires in Hugo. This was the fifth year assisting M Health
Fairview with major medical calls and lift assists, and the department responded to 178 medical
calls in 2024. There were also 29 motor vehicle accidents. Compton noted that trends showed an
Council Meeting Minutes for March 17, 2025
Page 3 of 8
8% increase in call volume, which was standard for the industry, and he predicted call volume
would continue to rise with the City's ongoing growth.
He talked about their new Urban Logiq software from the State Fire Marshal that tracks calls and
will help the department focus its efforts and provide better public education. Data showed that
December had the highest number of calls, while June had the least. Additionally, 57% of calls
occurred between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., with Wednesdays and Fridays being the busiest days of the
week.
In 2024, the department spent 3,360 hours in training. Most of the department has completed
active shooter training, and there was one house burn on the north end of Bald Eagle Lake.
Operational improvements in 2024 included the first full year with a full-time fire chief, three
firefighters completing probation, and three new probationary firefighters being hired. The
department also purchased a new grass truck and upgraded some battery-powered tools and
scene lighting.
Compton shared information on leadership development, community involvement, and the
$14,187 received in donations during 2024. He provided updates on the AED initiative and
discussed improvements to the Insurance Services Offices (ISO) rating, which could lower
property owners’ insurance costs. Other improvements included a kitchen and office remodel,
allowing daytime responders to perform their remote work from the station.
Goals for 2025 included creating a truck committee, working with the City’s Building
Department on the future of the fire marshal position, discussing staffing models, and hiring
more paid-on-call firefighters.
There was a question about whether the department had responded to any electric vehicle fires.
Compton responded that they had responded to lithium-ion battery fires but not specifically to
electric vehicles. He added that they hope to track this data with the new records management
system.
Weidt said he was impressed by the AED program and shared past experiences that had given
him a great appreciation for them.
M Health Fairview Annual Report – District Chief Kevin Kane
District Chief Kevin Kane presented the M Health Fairview Annual Report. He reviewed data
from the past five years for the overall Northern Region, which showed that in 2024, they had
4,782 requests. In 2024, there were 341 instances where mutual aid was given to cities outside
the region, and they requested mutual aid 176 times. He provided a breakdown of the acuity of
calls as they came into the center. The average emergent response time was 7:48, and the
combined time was 8:40 on average in the region.
In Hugo, there were 963 emergency calls, with 37 of them requiring mutual aid into Hugo. The
emergent response time in Hugo was 7:15, and the combined response time was 7:40. He
provided a breakdown on call type saying the highest percentage of calls were categorized as
"sick person," meaning the exact nature of the emergency was unknown when the call came in.
He showed the heat map, which helps determine where to position ambulances. He noted that the
fire station location works very well.
Council Meeting Minutes for March 17, 2025
Page 4 of 8
Kevin explained that M Health has been providing service to Hugo since June 2020 and has
participated in extensive community outreach. They attend Fridays with Firefighters, Good
Neighbor Days, and Night to Unite, as well as providing assistance with live burns, medical
direction, education, and training, all free of charge. These programs also allowed firefighters
from other cities to attend.
He echoed Fire Chief Compton’s comments on the AEDs, saying it has been a testament to their
training and teamwork, resulting in positive outcomes.
Mayor Weidt commented that it has been a great partnership, and it was good to have a team that
works together for the benefit of the community.
Presentation and Approval of Donation to Hugo Fire Department from Hugo Firefighter
Relief Association – President Chief Dave Jensen
Over the past several years, the Hugo Firefighters Relief Association has held various events to
raise funds to purchase equipment for the Hugo Fire Department. Most recently, they hosted an
annual golf fundraiser that has helped raise over $28,000. The Relief Association wished to
donate $40,000 to the Fire Department to contribute to the fund for purchasing a training prop.
All donations to the Fire Department required Council approval. Hugo Firefighters Relief
Association President Dave Jensen presented a check in the amount of $40,000 to the City,
stating that this was the largest donation the Relief Association had made in a long time.
Petryk made a motion, and Strub seconded, to approve the donation from the Relief Association
in the amount of $40,000 for the purchase of the training prop.
All ayes. Motion carried.

Approve Special Event Permit for Hero Gravel Classic Bike Ride on August
Fred Stori from the Chilkoot Velo Cycling Club of Stillwater had applied for a Special Event
Permit for the Hero Gravel Classic Bicycle Ride to be held on August 23, 2025. The event
would be a 50-mile bicycle ride on gravel and paved roads beginning and ending at the Bavarian
Hunter Gasthaus Restaurant in Stillwater. A Special Event Permit approved by Council was
necessary because there may be up to 300 people participating. Adoption of the Consent Agenda
approved the Special Event Permit for the Hero Gravel Classic Bicycle Race on August 23,
2025, subject to the conditions in the staff memo.
Approve Hugo Fire Department Purchase of a Taylor’d Series 12 Training Prop
The Hugo Fire Department requested to purchase a Taylor’d Series 12 Training Prop for in-
houses and on-site training. This Prop was not included in the Fire Department budget. The
Department had contacted several charitable gambling associations for donations, and the Relief
Association had donated $40,000 towards the purchase. Adoption of the Consent Agenda
approved the purchase of the Taylor’d Series12 Training Prop from Taylor’d Systems LLC in the
amount of $61,800 using funds from the City of Hugo Fire Department Donations Account.
Approve Purchase of 2025 Ferris Zero Turn Mower for the Public Works Department
The Hugo Public Works Department requested to purchase a mower for maintenance of the
City’s expanding parks and public facilities. The purchase of a Ferris zero turn mower with an
EZ dump hopper had been discussed with the Finance Department and funds were available in
the 2025 CIP Budget. This mower would be purchased through the MnDOT Cooperative
Purchasing Venture. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the purchase of a Ferris ISX330
60” zero turn mower with an EZ dump hopper from L.T.G. Power Equipment for $22,857.
Identify and Approve Expired Fire Department Gear as Surplus Equipment Eligible for
Donation
The Hugo Fire Department had 16 structure fire jackets, 21 structure fire pants, 29 sets of
wildland gear (coat and pant), 15 helmets and 19 pairs of structure fire boots that no longer met
industry standards for fire departments in the United States and thus had no resale value. The
National Fire Protection Agency standards required the above-mentioned gear to be retired and
neither the Hugo Fire Department, nor any other City Department had any use for the expired
gear. The Fire Department requested to donate their expired gear to a nonprofit that would be
able to send the turnout gear, helmets and boots to impoverished countries around the world
where it would be used by firefighters who could not afford turnout gear and in countries that do
not have NFPA standards. In order for the Hugo Fire Department to put their expired gear out
for donation, City Council needed to declare the gear surplus. Adoption of the Consent Agenda
identified and approved 16 expired structure fire jackets, 21 expired structure fire pants, 29 sets
of expired wildland gear (coat and pant), 15 expired helmets and 19 pairs of expired structure
fire boots as surplus equipment eligible for donation.

Washington County applied for Local Partnership Program funds from MNDOT for
improvements to Trunk Highway 61 from 140th Street N (County State Aid Highway 8) to
Frenchman Road (County State Aid Highway 8). The County coordinated this application with
the City of Hugo and was successful in receiving funds. The project included grading,
bituminous mill and surfacing, drainage improvements, ADA improvements and signal
revisions. The project included minor widening and improvements to the signal and turn lane
operations. The City costs were related to signal modifications on the local legs of the
intersection, minor adjustments to watermain gate valve boxes, and repainting the signal systems
which had been the responsibility of the City of Hugo. The total project cost was estimated to be
$1,404,541.91, with the City of Hugo being responsible for $47,588.95. Adoption of the Consent
Agenda approved the MNDOT agreement that outlined the City, County, and State

Sketch Plan for 5311 165th Street North
Capstone Homes had submitted a sketch plan to develop parcels of land totaling 38 acres, with
approximately eight acres of wetland, on property located directly north of The Meadows
development and south of 165th Street. The proposal included 90 single-family, slab-on-grade,
two-story homes on 50-foot-wide lots. Community Development Director Rachel Juba presented
the plan, which showed the location of the lots, ponding areas, and road connections. Streets
were shown to connect to the south, and two streets would connect north to 165th Street. There
Council Meeting Minutes for March 17, 2025
Page 7 of 8
were two approximately one-acre intersecting properties on 165th Street that were under separate
ownership. There was no homeowner’s association proposed as part of this development.
Juba explained that the parcels were designated as Medium Density (MD) Residential in the
2040 Land Use Plan. The developer proposed a net density of three units per acre, which met the
MD requirement. The current zoning on the properties was Future Urban Service, and it would
need to be rezoned to Planned Unit Development because the applicant was requesting flexibility
on lot widths, lot sizes, and setbacks. The proposal included 50-foot lots where 80 feet was
required, 6,500-square-foot lot sizes where 10,400 square feet was required, and reduced
setbacks, including a 7.5-foot side yard setback where ten feet was required. Juba stated it was
likely they would need flexibility on the impervious surface requirements. The development was
expected to have higher standards in exchange for this flexibility. The developer intended to
provide scenic views by preserving natural features as much as possible, providing high-quality
architectural homes, and creating outlots to reduce impacts on natural resources.
Juba discussed the proposed streets in the development and the improvements needed for 165th
Street. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identified 165th Street as an urban-section minor collector
road with a future trail connecting to Hardwood Creek. As a collector street, six lots shown on
the plan had driveways on 165th Street that would need to be eliminated. Additionally, a long,
straight road running north and south would need to be analyzed to determine what traffic-
calming measures were needed. Juba reviewed several options for improvements on 165th Street,
saying there would be a study beginning this spring to help determine how to move forward.
Staff recommendations included submitting a phasing plan, reconfiguring the long north/south
road, removing or relocating the six lots with access to 165th Street, reconsidering lots in the Met
Council interceptor, incorporating an off-road trail system, enhancing the landscape plan, and
evaluating stormwater reuse.
Juba reviewed comments made by the Planning Commission at their meeting on February 27,
2025, and the Parks Commission at their meeting on February 19, 2025. In addition to staff’s
recommendations, comments were made that the development would be served by other parks,
so there would be no required land dedication, but a park dedication fee would be required.
There was also a desire to see staggered building setbacks, a one-story product, and more
creativity in the layout.
Petryk asked about the ownership of the outlot since there would be no HOA. Juba replied that
the City would typically take over ownership, but it had not yet been discussed.
Land Project Manager Tom Bakritges, representing Capstone Homes, introduced himself and
property owner Mary Munger. He said he had been working on this project since last August,
and his aim was to balance affordability with environmental stewardship. He reiterated much of
what Juba presented and was agreeable to the suggestions made. He discussed projects he had
completed in other cities and said the key to this project was that there would be no HOA. He
explained that the high water table would not allow for basements and that he did not believe a
water reuse project would work on this site. He said water reuse and 165th Street were two of the
remaining issues.
Council Meeting Minutes for March 17, 2025
Page 8 of 8
The Council had questions about the one-level product, price range, the two existing lots within
the proposed development, and whether the lot widths between homes would allow for
emergency access.
Bakritges replied that he could include some one-level homes. The prices would range from
$390,000 to $430,000. He said the numbers would not work if the two existing lots were
incorporated. The homes would be located 15 feet apart, which would allow for emergency
access. He said none of the homes would back up to each other, and he offered to give the
Council a tour of the developments he had completed in other communities. He stated his goal
was to have the lots ready by fall.
Weidt said the direction from staff and the commissions was good and told the developer to
continue working with staff.
The Council generally agreed with the comments from the Planning Commission and the Parks
Commission and had nothing more to add.

Dear City Council,
Please accept this letter as formal notice of my resignation as Community Development Intern
for the City of Hugo. My last day of work will be April 16th, 2025.
What initially drew me to this position was the City’s unique approach to stormwater
management and water conservation. Throughout this internship I’ve had the opportunity to
work with City employees across multiple departments, which has introduced me to multiple
perspectives on and approaches to water resource management. Through this experience I have
gained familiarity not only with the City’s water conservation practices, but also with approaches
from other communities and across multiple scales of government. I am truly thankful for this
unique opportunity to gain early-career exposure to a field I’m interested in while also building
key professional skills that would be valuable in any profession.
I’m pleased to announce that I will be starting as an Environmental Resource Specialist with
Ramsey County Public Works, where I will work primarily in stormwater management and
forestry. I’m excited to take this next step toward a career in water resource management and
grateful for the strong foundation of experience that my time with the City of Hugo has provided.
Thank you to City Council, Commissioners and staff for your mentorship and kind, welcoming
attitude throughout my time in this position.
Sincerely,
Phoebe Brown
Memorandum
To: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
From: Max Gort, Associate Planner
Date: April 2, 2025 for the City Council meeting of April 7, 2025
Re: Ordinance Amendment – Solar Farms
1. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UPDATE:
At its meeting of March 13, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
considered the proposed ordinance amendments. There were five people who spoke during the
public hearing. Three of those five are involved in a solar farm application that was incomplete
before the current moratorium went into effect. These three people primarily spoke against the
requirement for locating a solar farm on a central portion of the property, stating that this
requirement would make the project more expensive and may create issues with farming the
rest of the property. The fourth person said that the requirement for central location may be
difficult on some lots, and stated that he wanted to ensure solar energy generation would still
be allowed. The fifth person stated that she was concerned about potential noise being
generated by solar farms, and asked about the City’s process for determining if a solar farm has
been abandoned by the operator.
The Planning Commission discussed the proposed ordinance revisions and comments heard
during the public hearing. The Planning Commission generally felt that the requirement to
locate a solar farm on a central portion of the property would reduce the visual impact that
solar farms have on neighboring properties, and that the language had enough flexibility for
locating a solar farm on a particular property. The Planning Commission unanimously
recommended that the City Council approve the ordinance amendments.
2. BACKGROUND:
In 2016, the City Council adopted an ordinance regulating the use of solar energy systems. The
ordinance includes rules for accessory solar energy systems, which provide solar energy for on-
site use and are accessory to the primary use of the property, and solar farms, which distribute
solar energy to off-site consumers and are the primary use of the property. Solar farms are
currently permitted in the AG, LA, RR, and FUS zoning districts , all other zoning districts only in
the floodplain, and on parcels greater than 10 acres in size. Additionally, solar farms require an
Interim Use Permit (IUP), and have specific performance standards and criteria of approval. The
first solar farm project was approved in 2018, which drew negative feedback from the
community related to aesthetic characteristics and setbacks from property lines. In 2023, the
Planning Commission and City Council amended the ordinance due to an increased interest in
solar farm development and related feedback from the community.
G.4
2
The Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) convened to draft revisions to the ordinance, which
included:
• An increase in minimum setbacks from property lines from 50 feet to 100 feet
• A minimum setback from public rights-of-way and dwellings on adjacent property to 200
feet
• A limit of the size of the solar array to five acres
• A requirement that trees at least 6 feet tall at the time of planting be provided for
screening
• A requirement that solar farm applications include a vegetation establishment and
management plan
• A requirement that ground areas within the solar array not occupied by equipment be
planted with deep-rooted, native, pollinator-friendly plantings
The ORC’s revisions were adopted by the City Council on July 24, 2023. With the new ordinance
in effect, the City received an application for a solar farm on a vacant 12-acre property on
Everton Avenue. During the public hearing at the April 11, 2024 Planning Commission meeting,
several neighbors spoke in opposition to the project, primarily with concerns that the proposed
solar farm would not be compatible with the present character of the surrounding area. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the solar farm IUP, but the City Council denied
it, due to the character of the area case made by the neighbors.
Following the denial of the Everton Avenue solar farm project, the City Council directed staff to
draft a text amendment that would prohibit solar farms. At its July 11, 2024 meeting the
Planning Commission held a public hearing on the text amendment. There were 4 people who
spoke in favor of prohibiting solar farms, 4 people who spoke against prohibiting solar farms,
and 4 letters received by the City that were all against prohibiting solar farms. The Planning
Commission and City Council decided not to prohibit solar farms at that time, and instead held
another workshop to discuss the ordinance. The workshop held on September 19 , 2024
resulted in direction to reconvene the ORC to consider revising the ordinance.
3. ORDINANCE REVIEW COMMITTEE DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Over the course of several meetings, the ORC discussed potential revisions to address
community concerns. Solar farm proposals often have the location of a solar array near the
edge of a large property and closer to adjacent dwellings, rather than being located centrally.
The ORC determined that community feedback may be better addressed with revisions that
guide the placement of the solar array towards the center of the property, no matter how large
the property is. Additionally, the ORC discussed the zoning districts where solar farms are
allowed, and determined that the permission of solar farms within urban zon ing district
exclusively in the floodplain was no longer needed.
3
The ORC recommended the following revisions to the performance standards for solar farms:
•Increasing the minimum lot size for solar farms from 10 acres to 20 acres.
•Increasing the minimum setback from any principal structure on adjacent properties
from 200 feet to 400 feet.
•Including language that would require solar farms to “be located, insofar as possible, on
a central portion of the property in order to minimize visual impact on adjacent
properties and dwellings.”
•Removing solar farms in the floodplain as a permitted use within urban zonin g districts.
•Amending the definition of a solar farm to clarify that it is capable or intended to
distribute electricity for off-site use.
4. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the proposed text
amendments to the City Council.
5. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the
ordinance amending the solar energy systems ordinance.

Urban Service (FUS) zoning districts. Solar farms may also be located in any other
zoning district only in the floodplain, as long as all other conditions are met.
b. Solar farms shall be 100 feet from all property lines, 200 feet from all public road
rights-of-way, and 200 400 feet from any principal structure on adjacent properties.
c. Solar farms shall be located, insofar as possible, on a central portion of the property
in order to minimize visual impact on adjacent properties and dwellings.
dc. Solar farms shall be limited to a size of 5 acres, measured by the exterior edges of the
solar array.
ed. Ground mounted solar energy systems shall not exceed 15 feet in height at any point
when oriented at maximum tilt.
fe. Solar farms shall be enclosed by approved perimeter fencing or adequate vegetative
buffer for screening. The primary form of buffer for screening shall be at least 6-foot
tall vegetation. Exception may be granted if the natural landscape provides screening
from all public right of ways and neighboring properties.
gf. All ground areas within the perimeter fencing of a solar farm that are not occupied by
equipment or access paths shall be planted with deep rooted, native pollinator
plantings.
hg. Solar farm applications shall include a vegetation establishment and management
plan which shall be reviewed and approved by staff.
ih. The owner/ operator of the solar farm shall provide the City with evidence that the
solar energy system is functioning properly. This shall be provided at any time
deemed necessary by the City.
ji. The owner/operator shall submit a decommissioning plan for the solar farm to ensure
that the owner/operator properly removes the equipment and facilities upon the end of
the project life, abandonment, expiration, or termination of the interim use permit. If
the solar energy system remains nonfunctional or inoperative for a continuous period
of 12 months, the system shall be deemed abandoned and shall constitute a public
nuisance. The owner shall remove the abandoned system at their expense after a
demolition permit has been obtained within 90 days after notice has been given.
Removal includes the entire structure including transmission equipment, structures
Ordinance 2025-XX
Amended Solar Energy Systems Ordinance
and foundations, and the restoration of soil and vegetation. The owner/operator shall
provide a current-day decommissioning cost estimate, and shall post financial
security in a form acceptable by the City. This estimate must include an inflationary
escalator, in an amount determined by the City, which will allow the City to remove
the solar farm from the property after the 90-day period has elapsed.

Memorandum
To: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
From: Max Gort, Associate Planner
Date: April 2, 2025 for the City Council meeting of April 7, 2025
Re: Approve Ordinance Amending the Parking Ordinance
1. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING UPDATE
At its meeting of March 27, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and
considered the proposed ordinance amendments. No one from the public spoke during the
public hearing. The Planning Commission discussed the proposed ordinance amendments, and
there were a few Commissioners who felt that there should be a determination of how to
measure whether a trailer has moved at least three tenths of a mile from its original location.
Staff will continue to work internally to determine a method for measuring that distance.
With the recommendation of determining a method of measurement, the Planning Commission
unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the ordinance approving
amendments to the parking ordinance.
2. BACKGROUND:
City Code currently restricts the amount of time that vehicles and trailers may be parked on any
city street to 72 hours, during the months that the winter parking ordinance is not in effect.
Section 90-253 (g)(1)(b) currently states that “no person shall park any vehicle or trailer on any
street within the city for an excess of 72 hours.” The intent of this ordinance is to allow for
reasonable and temporary parking of vehicles and trailers on city streets, while not allowing the
public street to be used as long-term storage. The City received complaints relating to boats
and trailers being stored on city streets long-term. The current ordinance is not explicit in its
intent to prevent long-term storage of equipment on city streets, and the City has found
difficulty in enforcing this intent. Additionally, the long-term storage of vehicles and trailers on
public streets creates disruptions to maintenance operations such as street sweeping, and in
some cases, damage to city streets will occur.
At its meeting of March 3, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to work with the City Attorney
on drafting amendments to the Prohibited Parking section of the Parking and Loading
ordinance. Within the same ordinance section, there are standards for parking large
recreational vehicles.
G.5
2
Staff has drafted text amendments that include the following:
• Removing trailers from the 72-hour timeframe under Sec. 90-253(g)(1)(b) to allow for
vehicles to be parked on city streets up to 72 hours, but not trailers.
• Prohibiting parking of trailers on all public streets, except while being loaded or
unloaded, for a cumulative 24 hours during a seven-day period.
• Language stating that a trailer parked on public streets must be moved at least three-
tenths of a mile within the seven-day period, or will be considered to have remained
parked by the City.
3. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended approval of the proposed ordinance amendments to the Planning
Commission.
4. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommended that the method of measuring whether a trailer has
moved a distance of three tenths of a mile be determined. Staff will continue to work internally
to determine a method of measurement.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the
ordinance amending the parking ordinance.
Attachments:
1. Redlined text amendments.
2. Ordinance amending parking ordinance.

CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING
APPLICATION STAFF REPORT
TO: Bryan Bear, City Administrator
FROM: Max Gort, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Julie and Greg Manning, 4938 121st Street North. Variance request for
an attached garage and car port to exceed the allowed building size.
DATE: April 2, 2025 for the City Council meeting of April 7, 2025
ZONING: Large Lot Single-Family Residential (R-1)
LAND USE: Very Low Density Residential (VLD)
REVIEW DEADLINE: April 7, 2025
1. BOARD OF ZONING MEETING UPDATE:
At its meeting of March 13, 2025, the Board of Zoning Appeals and Adjustments held a public
hearing and considered the request. No one spoke during the public hearing. Following
discussion, the Board agreed that the applicants met the criteria to approve a variance, and
unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the variance request.
2. DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The applicants are requesting a variance is to allow for the construction of a 2,336 square foot
attached garage and car port, where 1,678.75 square feet is allowed by ordinance. The garage is
proposed to have an area of 1,920 square feet, and the car port is proposed to have an area of 416
square feet, totaling 2,336 square feet. The attached garage and car port would be located on the
south side of a proposed 3,697 square-foot house.
The property is two acres in size and is located within the Large Lot Single-Family Residential
(R-1) 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 City Code for a variance. The City has a higher level of
Manning Variance – 4938 121st Street North
Page 2
2
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:
A. Surrounding Land Use and Zoning
The surrounding properties are zoned R-1 and are classified as Very Low Density (VLD) in the
2040 Land Use Plan. The surrounding properties range from one to ten acres in size and are
occupied by residential homes.
B. Natural Characteristics of the Site
The site has some slight sloping terrain with the highest portion of the property in the west-
center. The applicants are proposing to construct the house and garage at this portion of the
property. The property has some existing large trees and wooded areas that will provide
screening from adjacent properties and view of the road.
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;
Attached garages are allowed in the R-1 zoning district, and are allowed to be 1,000
square feet plus 25 percent of the amount by which the footprint of the house building
exceeds 1,000 square feet in size. In this case, with the house proposed to be 3,697 square
feet, the attached garage would be allowed to have a size of 1,678.75 square feet. There
are no accessory buildings currently on the property, but this property would be allowed
to have two accessory buildings with a maximum combined size of 1,500 square feet.
The applicant has stated that they do not have the desire to construct any accessory
buildings, and would not construct any accessory buildings in the future as a condition of
approval of the variance. The applicant is proposing to use the property in a reasonable
manner.
Manning Variance – 4938 121st Street North

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 surrounded by other parcels on nearly all sides, with a
long driveway connecting the property to 121st Street North, creating a large buffer
between the property and the view of any nearby road. The house is proposed to be
constructed in the west-central portion of the property – the highest location on the
property. There are several wooded areas on the property creating a visual buffer from
neighboring properties.
The applicant has stated that constructing a larger attached garage would be preferred to
constructing accessory buildings with associated driveways, which would produce a more
substantial impact to neighboring properties with buildings being closer to them, and
would require additional tree removal and driveway construction.
It is in staff’s opinion there are unique circumstances because of the location of trees and
the unique position of the property and house location.
c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential
character of the neighborhood.
Attached garages are common in the R-1 zoning district. The applicants are proposing to
construct a larger attached garage with a car port, rather than construct a number of
accessory buildings with associated driveways. The property is separated from view of
the road by another property to the south, and the garage will be screened by the existing
tree cover. The applicant has agreed to not construct any accessory buildings as a
condition of approval for the variance request.
It is in staff’s opinion that the requested variance will not significantly alter the essential
character of the neighborhood.
It is in staff’s opinion that there are practical difficulties in meeting the size requirements for an
attached garage
(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 attached garage ordinance is to not have the attached garage dominate
the look of the front of the house. The proposed attached garage will be screened from view of
adjacent properties by existing trees, and the view from the road is buffered by the property to
the south. The applicant has agreed to not construct any accessory buildings as a condition of
approval for the variance request.
It is the staff’s opinion that the requested variance would not make the attached garage and car
port dominate the exterior of the house, and that precluding accessory buildings on the property
Manning Variance – 4938 121st Street North
Page 4
4
would create less of a visual impact than an attached garage. The requested variance is 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.
Attached garages are permitted in the R-1 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 will be served by municipal sewer and water services.
6. CONCLUSION:
It in staff’s opinion that the applicant meets all the criteria necessary to approve the variance
request, with the condition that no accessory building shall be constructed on the property in the
future.
7. STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommended approval of the variance request to the Board, subject to the conditions in the
resolution.
8. BOARD OF ZONING RECOMMENDATION:
The Board unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the resolution approving
the variance request, subject to the conditions in the resolution.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 4938 121ST STREET
NORTH
WHEREAS, Julie and Greg Manning have requested approval of a variance to allow
construction of an attached garage and car port with a size of 2,336 square feet, where
1,678.75 square feet is allowed by ordinance, on property legally described as follows:
Lot 8, Block 1, Acres of Bald Eagle, Washington County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals has reviewed said variance at
a duly called public hearing on March 13, 2025, and recommends approval with the
following findings and conditions:
1.The proposed garage shall be in adherence to the site plan dated October 23, 2024.
2.The proposed variance is permissible by law.
3.Attached garages are allowed in the R-1 zoning district, and are allowed to be 1,000
square feet plus 25 percent of the amount by which the footprint of the house
building exceeds 1,000 square feet in size. In this case the total amount allowed
would be 1,678.75 square feet. This property would allow 2 accessory buildings for
a total combined size of 1,500 square feet. There are no accessory buildings on the
property. The applicant has stated that they will not construct any accessory
buildings. The request is a reasonable use.
4.The property is unique in that it is surrounded by other parcels on nearly all sides,
with a long driveway connecting the property to 121st Street North, creating a large
buffer between the property and the view of any nearby road. The house is proposed
to be constructed in the west-central portion of the property – the highest location
on the property. There are several wooded areas on the property creating a visual
buffer from neighboring properties. If the applicant were to construct accessory
buildings instead of a larger attached garage, there would be a more substantial
impact on neighboring properties with buildings being closer to them. There are
unique conditions on the property that create the need for a variance.
5.Attached garages are common in the R-1 zoning district. The applicants are
proposing to construct a larger attached garage with a car port, rather than construct
a number of accessory buildings with associated driveways. The property is
separated from view of the road by another property to the south, and the garage
will be screened by the existing tree cover. The requested variance will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood.
6.There are practical difficulties in meeting the ordinance standards.
7.The spirit and intent of the attached garage ordinance is to not have the attached
garage dominate the look of the front of the house. The proposed attached garage
will be screened from view of adjacent properties by existing trees, and the view
Resolution 2025-XX
Page 2
from the road is buffered by the property to the south. The request is keeping with
the spirit and intense of the ordinance.
8. The use is allowed in the R-1 zoning district.
9. The property is not located within a floodplain area.
10. The property will be served by municipal sewer and water services.
11. In order to mitigate the visual impact of the requested variance, no accessory
buildings are to be constructed on the property.
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
request for Julie and Greg Manning to allow construction of an attached garage and car
port with a size of 2,336 square feet, where 1,678.75 square feet is allowed by ordinance,
for the property located at 4938 121st Street North.
ADOPTED by the City Council this 7th day of April, 2025.

Township, Stillwater Township
Brown’s Creek Watershed District Manager Larry Odebrecht, Stillwater, has resigned his position
and therefore a vacancy exists for a manager position. Minnesota Statute 103D.311 requires that
the County Board select watershed district managers from an aggregate list of persons nominated by
the townships and municipalities that are within the watershed district.
The county will aggregate the names of nominees from all the lists submitted by the townships and
municipalities for the board’s consideration. If the aggregate list of nominees contains at least three
names, the county must appoint a manager from the list of township and municipality nominees. In
making the appointment, the county must also consider the statutory requirement that managers be
appointed to fairly represent the hydrological areas of the district.
If the aggregate list contains less than three nominee names, or if appointing a nominee from the
submitted lists will not allow for fair representation of the various hydrological areas of the district,
the county board may appoint any individual who resides within the watershed district and is
otherwise eligible to serve.
If you wish to submit a list of nominees for consideration, your list should be addressed to Chair
Commissioner Stan Karwoski and sent to me prior to April 18, 2025. The individual selected to fill
this vacancy will serve a partial first term through October 21, 2027.
The county's advisory board application form is available on the Washington County Website.
Thank you for your assistance in filling this important watershed position.
