Public Hearing: Cannabis Ordinance
Associate Planner Max Gort presented background on the cannabis ordinance that staff has been
drafting. In 2023, the Minnesota Legislature enacted Chapter 342, which legalized adult -use cannabis,
established regulatory framework for the adult-use cannabis industry, and established a state agency
known as the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). The legislation also allowed cities to enact a
temporary moratorium on cannabis-related business activity during the period in which regulatory
framework is set up. At its July 10, 2023 meeting the City Council adopted a 12 -month moratorium on
the sale, testing, manufacturing, and distribution of cannabinoid products. The moratorium was
extended in August of 2024, and is required by state law to expire on January 1, 2025. Staff has
developed a draft ordinance to regulate cannabis businesses that includes definitions for cannabis
related items, zoning districts where cannabis businesses would be permitted, performance standards
for cannabis businesses, and a procedure for registering cannabis businesses with the City.
Gort explained that the state licenses cannabis businesses through the OCM, and how the City is
required to verify that a business proposal meets local zoning requirements as a condition of state
license approval. After an applicant receives their license from the state, they would be required to
register with the City prior to commencing operations. The City is permitted by state statute to limit
December 12, 2024 PC Minutes
Page 2
the number of cannabis retailers within the city to one per 12,500 residents. The draft ordinance
proposed zoning cannabis businesses to allow retailers, lower-potency hemp edible retailers, and the
retail locations of a cannabis microbusinesses, mezzobusiness, or medical cannabis combination
business in commercial zoning districts (NS, C-1, C-2). All other cannabis business types are proposed to
be permitted in industrial zoning districts (BP, I-3). Staff considered whether to expand cannabis
cultivation as a permitted use in agricultural zonin g districts. The City Council, EDA, and ORC all met to
discuss the draft ordinance, and specifically whether to expand cultivation activity to rural zoning
districts. All three groups provided comments indicating that they would prefer to keep cultivation
restricted to industrial districts, and see how the activity functions in other communities prior to
expanding the use to rural zoning districts. The draft ordinance outlines a process for a cannabis event
organizer to apply for a special event permit for a cannabis event.
Commissioner Petty asked about the difference between licenses and cannabis registrations. Gort
explained that the license is issued by the state, whereas the City would register cannabis businesses
independently.
Commissioner Granger asked if the City can place a numerical limit on non-retail cannabis businesses,
such as cultivators. Gort said that retailers are the only businesses that can have a numerical limit per
state statute.
Commissioner Arcand asked why the draft ordinance restricts cannabis cultivation to locating indoors.
Gort stated that cultivation activity is likely to produce impacts such as odor, traffic, and light that can
be better managed in an indoor facility.
Commissioner Granger asked if the liquor stores that currently sell lower-potency hemp edible
products will still be able to do so. Gort stated that these businesses will need to apply for a license
from the state, and register with the city.
Commissioner Arcand asked where medical cannabis can be sold. Gort stated that the state currently
has a medical cannabis program that will largely remain unchanged under the new law, but that the
retail locations for medical cannabis businesses would be permitted as conditional uses with the I-3
and BP zoning districts.
Chair Kleissler opened the Public Hearing at 7:36 PM
Dean Anderson, 7503 177th Street N, stated that he and a business partner purchased the property
earlier in the year with the goal of using it to cultivate cannabis commercially. Anderson stated that he
sent in a proposed addendum to the draft ordinance that would allow cannabis microbusinesses and
mezzobusinesses to cultivate cannabis as a conditional use in the Future Urban Service (FUS) and
Agricultural (AG) zoning districts. Anderson stated that he would plan to cultivate cannabis for his
proposed microbusiness in Hugo and sell it at a retail location in Minneapolis.
Beau Ryan, 7503 177th Street N, stated that she was involved with the purchase of the property with
Mr. Anderson. Ryan stated that she has experience cultivating cannabis, took a course on cannabis
December 12, 2024 PC Minutes
Page 3
cultivation, and would like to be at the front end of the cannabis industry in Minnesota. Ryan stated
that they would have to sell the property if the zoning in the ordinance would not allow them to
cultivate cannabis.
Chair Kleissler closed the Public Hearing at 7:50 PM
Commissioner Granger asked if cannabis businesses would be able to located next to each other, and if
the only limit on cannabis cultivation would be the size of the building. Juba stated that cannabis
microbusinesses and mezzobusinesses apply for certain en dorsements from the state to conduct
specific activities. Dean Anderson came back to the podium and state that cities can restrict
endorsements, and stated that restriction of microbusinesses and mezzobusinesses will allow for large
businesses to dominate the market.
Commissioner Petty asked if the state OCM can override local ordinance requirements.
Commissioner Andress asked if the City can restrict water consumption for a cannabis cultivator, Juba
stated that it would be difficult to meter the water used for irrigation.
Commissioner Granger asked if there’s a precedent for managing or restricting crops, and gave tobacco
as an example. Juba stated that cannabis is not listed by the state as a n agricultural product, giving the
City more ability to restrict it.
Commissioner Petty asked if the Planning Commission can vote on the ordinance without considering
the addendum presented by Mr. Anderson. Juba replied that the addendum is not part of their official
packet, was not prepared by the City, and was not reviewed by the City Attorney. Juba stated that the
Planning Commission can revisit the content of the addendum if they wish.
Commissioner Petty made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Arcand, to recommend approval of
the draft ordinance.
Commissioner Granger asked if the ordinance can still be amended in the future, Juba said yes.
Commissioner Andress stated that he views prohibiting cannabis cultivation in rural zoning districts as
a means of restricting the property rights of farmers. Commissioner P etty stated that the use can be re-
evaluated at a later time after the City has had a chance to see how it plays out in other communities .
Commissioner Granger stated that he doesn’t like the idea of restricting property owner rights in this
way, but sees the time-sensitive need to have an ordinance in place.
Dean Anderson came back to the podium, and stated that the OCM halted their license pre-approval
process and extended the approval timeline, but that they are running out of time to line up their
permissions to apply for a license. Commissioner Petty stated that they need to consider the
perspective of all Hugo residents, and that the Planning Commission has received several letters in
opposition to cannabis proliferation, and that the City needs to evaluate cannabis cultivation as a land
use further before deciding to permit it as a land use in rural zoning districts.
December 12, 2024 PC Minutes

Commissioner Granger stated that the ordinance creation process has been intensive, and that while
he empathizes with the desire to allow cultivation in rural zoning districts, that the ordinance needs to
be put in place with more restrictions right now.
No further discussion. The motion previously made by Commissioner Petty was brought to a vote.
All ayes.
Motion carried.
The ordinance draft will be considered by the City Council at its January 6, 2025 meeting.

CITY OF HUGO COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION
STAFF REPORT
TO: Hugo Planning Commission
FROM: Rachel Juba, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
DATE: February 24, 2025, for the Planning Commission Meeting of February 27,
2025.
REVIEW DEADLINE (60) days: March 28, 2025
1. BACKGROUND:
The property is generally located west of Highway 61 and south of 165th Street. The address of the
property is 5311 165th Street, with a home and accessory buildings and also includes a vacant
parcel to the east. The property totals approximately 38 acres. The property is relatively flat, and
has some site constraints due to wetlands, shoreland district, and a ditch. The applicant would like
to receive feedback on the project regarding general layout, housing types, wetland replacement,
and road connections and improvements.
2. SKETCH PLAN:
Capstone Homes is planning to develop the parcels of land that total 38 acres, with approximately
8 acres of wetland. There are two intersecting parcels, one acre each with single family homes,
that are not part of the sketch plan. The plan shows 90 proposed single family lots intended to be
slab on grade, two story homes. The plan also shows stormwater ponding areas, trail connections,
and road connections. A home owners association is not proposed for the development. The sketch
plan was completed to get comments from the various commissions and Council prior to moving
forward with the formal development approval process.
Current Zoning
The proposed parcel is located in the Future Urban Service (FUS) zoning district. The applicant
intends to request flexibility on lot widths, lot sizes and setbacks for the 50 foot wide lots.
Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
2040 Comprehensive Plan
The parcel is guided as Medium Density Residential (MD) according to the 2040 Land Use Plan.
The density standards for the Medium Density Residential (MD) designation are a minimum of
three units per net acre. The developer is proposing a residential gross density of 2.36 units per
acre and a net density of 3.00 units per acre. The development currently meets the density
requirements for the land use designation.
Planned Unit Development
The developer has proposed requesting approval of a PUD for the development. PUD’s offer
enhanced flexibility to develop a site through the relaxation of zoning district standards. The use
of the PUD zoning also allows for a greater variety of uses, internal transfers of density,
construction phasing and a potential for lower development costs. In exchange for this enhanced
flexibility, the City has the expectation that the development plan will result in a significantly
higher quality and more sensitive proposal than would have been the case with the use of other,
more standard zoning districts. There are also expectations that the development will have higher
standards on zoning code requirements in exchange for the flexibility.
• Lot widths
o The developer is proposing the lot width of all lots to be 50 feet, where 80 feet is
required in the Single Family Detached Residential (R-3) zoning district.
• Lot Size
o The developer is proposing the minimum lot size to be 6,500 square feet, where
10,400 square feet is required in the Single Family Detached Residential (R-3)
zoning district.
• Setbacks
o The developer is proposing the following setbacks:
R-3 Proposed PUD
Front yard setback 30 ft. 25 ft.
Side yard setback 10 ft. 7.5 ft.
Rear yard setback 30 ft. 25 ft.
• Impervious Surface
o The developer has not indicated that they are requesting flexibility for impervious
surface maximums. However, with the proposed lot width, lot size, and setbacks its
likely they will ask for flexibility on the percent of impervious surface allowed.
In exchange for the proposed PUD, the developer is expected to have a higher quality development
with valued amenities. The developer has proposed the following:
• The developer has stated that they will evaluate the site to preserve to the maximum extent
possible the sites natural features (wetland, floodplain, shoreland, etc). They stated they
are providing scenic view of the natural features.
Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
• The developer stated that they will provide high quality architecture for the homes.
• The plans show a buffer area from the ditch and not having lot lines into the wetland and
natural areas, keeping them on outlots to limit impacts on the natural resources.
The Medium Density Residential designation’s primary intent is to respond to a need for smaller
homes on smaller lots and townhome development. This designation offers the opportunity for
housing that may expand opportunities for more affordable single family home living and changes
in demographics, including smaller homes for empty nesters and smaller families. The medium
density designation also describes the importance of preserving natural resources and amenities.
The proposed sketch plan is requesting flexibility to accommodate reduced lot sizes, lot widths,
and setbacks. This is in line with the intent of the land use present in the development. Staff has a
few recommendations at the end of this report for the development. It is in staff’s opinion that the
recommendations would strengthen the applicant’s ability to demonstrate they meet the PUD
criteria. Staff will continue to work with the developer on their proposal to request a change in the
zoning to Planned Unit Development as the project moves forward.
Because its proximity to the ditch, the property is in the Shoreland Overlay district. The
development will need to meet all of the MN DNR shoreland standards as they relate to PUD
approvals. It is unclear whether this has been evaluated with the development layout.
Housing Types/Design
The developer is proposing 90 single family lots at 50 feet wide. The applicant has provided
building elevations. All homes will be built on slab on grade foundations. The proposed home
designs seem to provide a variety of architectural styles and are included in the packet.
Streets & Access
The developer is showing access to the site from the development to the south and 165th Street.
165th Street is a rural section gravel roadway that is approximately 24 feet in width, except for the
first 400 feet of 165th Street immediately west of Highway 61. This portion of Highway 61 has
bituminous surfacing.
The 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies 165th Street as an urban section minor collector road
from Elmcrest Avenue to Highway 61 with a future trail making connection to the Hardwood
Creek Regional Trail. The change in design is due to the changes in future traffic patterns and
increase in population an employment in the area. The change in design is not only related to
development directly adjacent to the road, but what is planned for traffic patterns in the future
with regional development.
For the development to move forward improvements to 165th Street are required to ensure there
are adequate public facilities to serve the development. Based on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan
the developer would be required to construct an urban section (curb, gutter, trail) minor collector
road from the west property line of the development to Highway 61. Staff has discussed some
interim improvements to the 165th Street as well.
Below are the options based on past policies:
Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
1. The developer could construct the urban section minor collector road from the west
property line of the development to Highway 61.
2. The developer could construct a rural section minor collector road from the west property
line of the development to Highway 61, as an interim improvement. They would then be
required to pay the cost to construct ½ of the urban section minor collector along their
frontage and be credited for the amount to construct the rural section road.
3. The City Council did include paving all of 165th Street to a rural section road to its
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) slated for 2026, as interim improvement. If the road
is paved, as development occurs along 165th Street the developer would be required to
pay the cost ½ of the urban section minor collector along the development lineal frontage.
During 2025 goal setting processes, the Planning Commission and City Council discussed this
topic of 165th Street improvements. They included in their goals for 2025 to prepare and
complete a study along 165th Street. The study is proposed to include ultimate road design,
construction costs, environmental analysis, evaluation of utility extensions and land use. The
study will complete an analysis of road design and cost allocation with public engagement with
property owners. The goals is to have the study start this spring with priority given to road design
and utility extension.
The developer would need to dedicate right-of-way along 165th Street for the improvement of the
road.
A collector road is designed to move traffic to access local roads. A number of proposed lots are
proposed to have direct access to 165th Street, which would not be allowed due to its minor
collector road status and the plan should be revised to relocate or remove them.
The applicant is showing a long, straight road connecting the south and north portions of the
development. It’s in staff opinion that traffic calming measures should be taken into
consideration on the proposed long roadway. The goal of traffic calming is to reduce speeds,
reduce cut through traffic, and improve safety including non-motorized traffic. Although, the
applicant has designed the road with slight variations, the roadway will need to be further
analyzed in regard to creating turns within the roadway.
Utilities
Municipal sewer and water are available from the development to the south.
The Met Council sanitary sewer interceptor is along the entire length of the west property line
there is a 35 foot wide easement along that area that includes the interceptor pipe and powerlines.
There are 6 lots that are shown along the west property line on the north side of the plan. These
lots will have restrictions to what can be constructed in the back yard within the easement area,
such as fences and sheds. Staff recommends these lots be evaluated to be relocated or reconfigured.
There is a 25 feet wide easement along the south property line for a sanitary sewer pipe. The
easement will need to be included on the plans.
Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
Parks / Trails
The developer is required to dedicate land, pay a fee, or a combination of land and fee. At this
time, the developer has not indicated how they propose to satisfy the park dedication requirement,
but it is assumed that they will pay the fee because they are not showing a land dedication.
The park dedication section of the City Code requires the applicant dedicate 10% of the
developable acres for park land with a density of up to 3.99 units per acre. The developer has
indicated that there are 30 acres of buildable land in the development. Therefore, the developer
would be required to dedicate 3 acres of park land. The current park dedication fee is $3,400 per
unit. If a fee is preferable, with 90 units, the park dedication fee would be $306,000.
According to the Parks, Trails, and Open Space Plan, the property is in neighborhood park service
area 3. There are no existing parks in the area besides the passive park land that was recently
dedicated with Oneka Place which is southwest the development. Currently, there is not a plan for
the passive park but a trail system existed within the park. Frog Hollow, in neighborhood park
service area 4, is to the south of the property about .8 miles away and the newly dedicated park in
Oneka Prairie and may be considered to be within walking distance.
The Trail Plan shows an existing trail extending from the south to 165th Street. The entire property
is shown as a part of the greenway corridor that follows the ditch. The developer has not shown
on their plan that they would extend the City’s trail system through the subdivision. This will need
to be included in the plans.
As a way to strengthen the developer’s ability to demonstrate they meet the PUD criteria the
developer could construct off-road trails to highlight the natural features on the site by providing
access and a recreation amenity. Natural surface, gravel or paved trails could be located adjacent
to stormwater ponds and/or the ditch corridor.
The Parks Commission provided non-binding feedback to the developer on February 19, 2025.
They stated that the development is served by the existing parks in the area and will not be required
to dedication land, however will be required to pay the fee. They stated they would support the
PUD with an off-road trail system within in the development.
Landscaping
The developer has not submitted a landscape plan. In exchange for PUD flexibility, the City could
expect a landscape plan that goes beyond the minimum requirements to provide street trees,
entrance streetscaping, plantings around any monument sign, plantings in open space, etc.
The developer should also provide a landscape buffer along 165th Street.
Wetlands
The developer has stated they have had an initial wetland delineation completed. It has not been
approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) but will need to be approved prior to moving
forward. The developer has stated that they will evaluate the site to preserve to the maximum
Capstone Homes (Munger Property) – Sketch Plan
extent possible the sites natural features (wetland, floodplain, shoreland, etc) as part of the PUD
request. The plan does show a few places for wetland impact for road connections. A wetland
replacement plan would need to be applied and approved by the TEP if the developer plans to
impact any wetlands on the site. This will be evaluated as the project moves forward. Staff has
recommended that the applicant schedule a preliminary TEP meeting.
Stormwater Management/Water Re-Use
The developer is proposing to complete stormwater management through the construction of ponds
within the site. Staff will be working with the developer, as this project moves forward, as it relates
to stormwater management, floodplain, and infiltration.
The developer has also indicated that they will not be using stormwater for irrigation purposes
within the development. Staff recommends this be evaluated to see if it is feasible. If the system is
feasible, from a water availability and design standpoint, it will require additional review and
analysis as the project moves forward. Staff recommends stormwater reuse be evaluated for
feasibility.
5. CONCLUSION/ RECOMMENDATIONS:
As the applicant moves forward with the application, staff recommends the following:
1. Staff recommends a phasing plan is submitted.
2. Staff recommends that the long road running south to north in the development be further
analyzed to incorporate traffic calming measures.
3. Staff recommends the lots with direct access to 165th Street be relocated or removed.
4. Staff recommends the lots with back yards with the 35 foot Met Council interceptor be
evaluated to be relocated or reconfigured.
5. Staff recommends an off-road trail system be incorporated into the development.
6. Staff recommends that the landscape plan is designed to go beyond the minimum
requirements to provide street trees, entrance streetscaping, plantings around any
monument sign, plantings in open space, etc.
7. Staff recommends stormwater reuse be evaluated for feasibility regarding water
availability and design.
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission provide feedback on the concept plan to the
developer on the following:
1. General layout, including lot placement
2. Road connections and improvements
3. PUD criteria
4. Housing types
5. Wetland replacement

Re: Munger Property
Sketch Plan Review
WSB Project No. 027763-000
Dear Ms. Juba:
We have reviewed the Sketch Plan for the Munger property. We have reviewed the following
information related to this application:
• Munger Property Sketch Plan Revised dated July 11, 2024, for Capstone Homes, Inc. by
Pioneer Engineering – 5311 165th Street
• Munger Property Narrative by Capstone Homes, dated January 27, 2025
Based on the review of the documents, we offer the following comments related to this
application:
General/Access/Existing Conditions
1. The subject property is located along the south side of 165th Street approximately one-
half mile west of Highway 61. Two access points are proposed from 165th Street with
connections also being made to Ferrara Avenue and Finale Avenue that were
constructed as part of the Meadows at Hugo Development.
2. 165th Street is a rural section gravel roadway that is approximately 24-ft in width, with the
exception of the first 400 feet of 165th Street immediately west of Highway 61. This
portion of Highway 61 has bituminous surfacing.
3. The Hugo 2040 Comprehensive Plan identifies 165th street as an urban section minor
collector from Highway 61 to Elmcrest Avenue with a future trail making connection to the
Hardwood Creek Regional Trail.
4. The development team contends that 165th Street should remain a rural-section roadway
base on a number of factors which include, but are not limited to size of developable
parcels, presence of wetlands limiting buildable area along the corridor, and cost.
5. As part of a proposed upcoming study for the 165th Street corridor, staff would evaluate a
number of different development scenarios along this corridor, project traffic volumes and
patterns, evaluate appropriate location of trail, determine whether the roadway should be
rural or urban, and timing of improvements.
6. Properties along 165th Street have not been platted and do not have dedicated road right
of way. Property lines extend into the roadway.
7. The proposed development would need to dedicate the right of way along 165th Street.
The width will depend on the outcome of the 165th Street Corridor study.
8. Past practice would indicate the developer would be responsible to pay an amount equal
to the cost of constructing one half of an urban section roadway along their road
frontage.
Ms. Rachel Juba

Property - 5311 165th St N\Capstone Homes\25-001 Munger Property Sketch Plan
Application\Engineers Memo Munger Property - Concept Plan - 021925.docx
9. Due to the nature of the corridor (smaller developments and limited buildable property
immediately adjacent to the roadway), it is challenging and costly to construct an urban
roadway in one singular project. Alternatively, with the increased traffic on a gravel
roadway, the developer would be responsible to pave the rural section roadway from TH
61 to their westerly property line. As part of the city roadway capital improvements plan,
funding could be made available to pave the remaining 165th Street as a rural section
roadway. This will be further evaluated as part of the above reference study.
10. A number of proposed lots are proposed to have direct access to 165th Street, which
would not be allowed due to its minor collector road status.
Utility Plan
11. As identified in the City’s Comprehensive Water Supply and Distribution Plan, a 24” trunk
watermain will need to be extended north from the existing 24” trunk watermain extended
as part of the Meadows of Hugo development located directly to the south, with the City
of Hugo paying for oversizing costs.
12. The MCES interceptor is along the west property line of the Munger Property.
13. Trunk Sanitary Sewer was extended from the MCES Interceptor along the Munger south
property line as part of the Meadows at Hugo development. Sanitary sewer will need to
be extended from the sanitary sewer provided from the south
14. If the project is to be phased, a staging plan will be required to be shown with utility work
being identified to occur within the final platted area only. If grading is different from the
phasing plan for utilities or final plat area, a plan addressing temporary drainage
measures outside the platted area will be required.
Stormwater Management/Wetlands
15. Volume control/water quality standard will be required, which is 1.1 inches off new
impervious surfaces. Water reuse will be the preferred BMP option for the site for volume
reduction. If an additional BMP is to be used, the TP removal factor from RCWD Rule C,
Table C1. must be applied.
16. Peak stormwater runoff rates for the proposed project must not exceed existing rates for
the 2-year and 10-year 24-hour rainfall events using Atlas 14 rainfall depths.
17. Peak stormwater runoff rates for the 100-year 24-hour rainfall event is limited to 0.1
cfs/acre.
18. Lowest building opening must be at least 3’ above the 100-yr HWL for both wetlands and
BMPs and 4’ above the current groundwater elevations.
19. Private ditches to JD3 are located onsite. Maintain private ditch drainage to JD3.
Developer to confirm with RCWD if a permit for Rule I is needed.
20. No 100-year floodplains located onsite.
21. Stormwater Management facilities will be required to be within drainage and utility
easements.
22. The applicant is proposing to utilize stormwater reuse as part of their stormwater
management plan.
23. A wetland delineation on the parcel has been completed however this has yet to go
through the Technical Evaluation Panel for approval.
24. The concept plan shows a number of impacts to wetlands. The applicant may find it
helpful to have a pre-application meeting with the Technical Evaluation Panel to get a
better idea of what impacts may or may not be allowed
