WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO. 1999-334
AN INTERIM ORDINANCE PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE
HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE OF CITY RESIDENTS, AND ESTABLISHING A
TEMPORARY DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM ON RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT WITHIN
THE METROPOLITAN URBAN SERVICE AREA.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HUGO DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose of this Ordinance is to
establish a temporary development moratorium on residential
development within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area. It is the
belief of the City Council that the City's existing "official
controls" may not adequately contemplate or address the rapid
growth which the City is currently experiencing with respect to
residential development.
The City has identified four (4) specific areas that require
study. Those four (4) general areas are as follows:
A. City Staffing Requirements. Specifically, whether or not
the City of Hugo has a sufficient number of employees to
deal with the rapid increase of development which is
occurring in Hugo. Residential development has caused a
"resource drain" upon City staff time. A study needs to
be conducted to determine whether or not the City should
hire or contract with additional individuals for
planning, zoning, or marketing services, or could
additional support staff handle the work. The budgetary
impacts of these proposals also need to be studied. If
additional persons are not hired, a question also arises
as to whether or not the public should be charged an
hourly rate for the use of staff time. Specifically,
City staff is being taken away from its traditional
functions in order to deal on a more regular basis with
development concerns. Should these costs be passed on to
developers and, if so, how?
In short, how can the City administer its "official
controls" through the use of existing or additional
personnel?
B. City Space. Not only is City staff dealing with a
"resource drain," but City space is also suffering.
Specifically, there is not enough working space in the
existing City Hall to handle the influx of recent
Rev. 08/17/99
residential development. A study needs to be taken to
determine if the City can obtain additional workable
office space within the confines of the City at a
reasonable price. If additional space is not available
for lease or purchase, then the City needs to determine
if the existing City Hall can be expanded, or if a new
City Hall should be built. If a new City Hall is to be
built, then a decision also needs to be made on what to
do with the existing City Hall and how to plan for the
transition from one location to another. In any case,
the City needs to be aware of budget constraints.
In short, the City needs to plan for its space
requirements so that it can effectively administer its
"official controls."
C. Water Issues. With the recent influx of residential
development, questions have arisen regarding the ability
of the City's municipal water service to keep up with the
demands on water. A number of specific issues need to be
studied, specifically as follows:
1. Minimum Standards. Specifically, in dealing with
new developments, a certain "fire flow" needs to be
met. In the past, the City has looked at the
minimum fire flow standards as outlined within the
Uniform Fire Code. The City has become aware that
other cities, however, have chosen a higher
standard so that they have some amount of "bounce"
within their system. A study needs to be
undertaken to determine what level the City should
rely on in reviewing new developments.
2. Methodology. In the past, the City has relied upon
expert opinions provided by the City's Engineer as
to whether or not a given development complied with
the "fire flow" requirements. Some developers have
had their own experts come in and use a separate
methodology which came up with a different result
than the City Engineer. A study needs to be taken
and a decision should be made by the City Council
as to picking one specific methodology to follow.
Accordingly, the Council would like the City
Engineer's office to provide information to the
City Council regarding the engineering theories
used in his methodology, explaining both
engineering theory and the computer model which he
utilizes. The City would also like the City
Engineer to field test the City water system to
determine if the actual conditions present in the
City correlate to a reasonable degree of
engineering certainty with his computer model and
Rev. 08/17/99 2
theory. If a reliable and accurate methodology can
be determined, then it would be the intent of the
City to accept that one methodology in reviewing
future applications. This would provide for a more
fair and uniform method of reviewing all
applications and also would save precious City
staff time.
3. System Requirements. The City is currently
studying the issue of whether or not the current
system requirements are adequate to deal with
existing homes which are already on line. The
study needs to go further to determine how future
development will affect the existing system. That
report will need to define physically how the
system can be added on to to deal with the influx
of residential development. For example, are
additional water towers necessary and, if so, where
will they be located and how will they be paid for?
Could there be some other physical improvements to
the system, short of a water tower, such as new
wells which would be sufficient (and less costly)
in order to improve the water system (and, if so,
where would those wells be located).
D. City Zoning and Subdivision Standards. Through the
influx of residential development, debate has gone on as
to the existing standards currently in existence for the
City. The City Council believes that, in order to
properly deal with future development, the standards
should be revisited as soon as possible. Specifically,
at least the following issues should be addressed"
Rev. 08/17/99
1. Roads. Currently Hugo allows private roads to be
constructed in developments in certain
circumstances. The City is aware that other
communities do not allow private roads. Private
roads tend to be constructed to a narrower width
than public roads. This allows developers to place
more residential homes on a given piece of
property. The end result is that more homes are
using roads which are narrower. Additionally, at
the end of the expected useful life of these roads,
those homeowners are then to be expected, on their
own, to pay for improvements of those roads to the
then existing standards. The City needs to address
whether the City should change its policy to
prohibit private roads, including considering the
pros and cons of each alternative.
2. Planned Unit Development Density Standards.
Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) are designed to
3
encourage more creative thinking in developments.
A question has arisen as to whether PUDs are being
used in Hugo to foster creativity, or whether they
are being used simply for the purpose of creating
as many residential lots as possible. The City is
aware that some jurisdictions have a rule limiting
the density within PUDs to that density which would
be allowed pursuant to the underlying zoning
classification. The City needs to study this issue
to determine whether or not changes need to be made
to this standard.
3. Lot Sizes. Currently, the minimum lot size in the
City of Hugo is 10,400 square feet. The City is
aware that other neighboring cities have much
larger minimum standards. The City needs to make a
policy decision as to whether or not the current
lot size standard is sufficient. Specifically,
does the City want larger lots, or does the City
wish to remain committed to smaller lots, which
tend to also equate into more affordable lots for
starter homes. This issue needs to be studied and
a decision made.
4. Open Spaces. As residential development is
happening at a much faster rate than anyone
anticipated, the question is whether or not
sufficient open spaces are being preserved for
future generations. This issue needs to be
studied.
There is a need for the City Council to adopt an Interim
Ordinance to protect the planning process and the health, safety
and welfare of the residents of the City of Hugo. An Interim
Ordinance or moratorium will allow the City of Hugo and its
citizens to retain the benefits of the City's Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning Ordinance until the City finishes the studies referenced
herein. There is a need to restrict residential development within
the Metropolitan Urban Service Area until such studies are
finished, and until any changes are made to the City's official
controls. As such, the Hugo City Council, contemporaneously with
the passing of this Ordinance, hereby directs its City staff to
commence such studies immediately.
Section 2. The moratorium approved herein shall apply only to
residential development occurring within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area. The City of Hugo believes that, by narrowing the
scope of the moratorium to this single type of development and
within a specific geographical area of the City will help to allow
development to take place in other places and other ways, thus
providing the most minimum intrusion possible into the future
development of land in the City. It is the intent of the City to
Rev. 08/17/99 4
narrowly tailor this moratorium so that it's impact on residents
will be minimized as much as possible. The Council is aware that
there are currently approximately 1,400 residential homesites in
the process of being developed in the City of Hugo. Of this
amount, approximately 860 are awaiting preliminary plat approval.
Additionally, out of this total number, only 21 are outside of the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area. Accordingly, it is the belief of
the City that those lots outside the Metropolitan Urban Service
Area do not need to be delayed in order for the City to properly
deal with the study issues referenced above. Specifically, they
have little affect on City time and space issues because there are
so few applications in that category. Additionally, as they are
outside the Metropolitan Urban Service Area, they do not impact the
City's municipal water system. Also, there have been no PUD
applications outside the MUSA line. Finally, the lots outside the
Metropolitan Urban Service Area tend to be larger lots and,
therefore, the density issues are not brought into play.
Additionally, in the last four (4) years, the City has
had a total of only two (2) building permits issued in the City for
commercial or industrial properties. In comparison, the following
is a list of permits issued for single-family development purposes:
1988
- 54
1989
- 47
1990
- 51
1991
- 67
1992
- 66
1993
- 88
1994
- 80
1995
- 99
1996
- 64
1997
- 18
1998
- 32
1999 (through May 24) - 80
In addition to the eighty (80) single-family residential
building permits already issued in 1999, there are approximately
1,000 more which are working their way through the system.
Accordingly, it is the belief of the City Council that residential
development is the only type of development that needs to be
curtailed during the time of this study. Simply stated, other
forms of development are so de minimis that they have no real
affect upon the issues being studied during the term of the
moratorium.
Section 3. Authority. Minnesota Statutes §462.355, Subd. 4
permits the adoption of interim zoning ordinances for the purpose
of protecting the planning process and the health, safety and
welfare of its citizens.
Rev. 08/17/99
Section 4. Conclusions. The City Council finds that it is
necessary in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its
citizens, to protect the planning process, to conduct the studies
described above, and to place a moratorium on residential
development within the MUSA during the term of the studies..
Section 5. Development Moratorium.
A. A study is hereby authorized and directed to be conducted
by the City staff to study and decide how the City should
amend its official controls with respect to those items
addressed herein. Upon finishing the studies, the City
Council shall review the matter and make such decisions
as are in the best interests of the City of Hugo.
B. Pending completion of the studies and adoption of any
amendments to the City's official controls, it shall be
unlawful for any person to subdivide residential land
within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area of the City of
Hugo. Additionally, during the period of time of the
moratorium, no applications shall be processed and no
land use approvals shall be considered or issued for
subdivision until the studies referenced herein are
completed and the City Council has made a decision as to
the "official controls."
C. For the purposes of the moratorium, the term "residential
subdivision" shall be defined in the Hugo City Code to
include both major and minor subdivisions.
D. That the Council recognizes that they do not possess,
individually, the expertise necessary to address each of
these study areas. Accordingly, City Staff is hereby
directed to recommend the hiring of those experts which
will assist the City in property analyzing and studying
the issues described herein.
Section 6. Exceptions. This moratorium shall not apply to:
A. The lawful use of an existing subdivision.
B. Construction, location or development of subdivisions
which have received all necessary permits and approvals,
or have received preliminary plat approval from the City
prior to the date of the approval of this Ordinance.
C. The creation of cemetery lots.
D. Subdivisions resulting from court orders, or the
adjustment of a lot line by the movement of a common
boundary.
Rev. 08/17/99 6
E. Subdivisions that are entirely outside of the 2020
Metropolitan Urban Development Area.
F. Commercial or industrial developments.
Section 7. Enforcement. The City may enforce any provisions
of this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction or any other appropriate
civil remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 8. Term. Unless earlier terminated by action of the
City Council, this Ordinance shall be effective for twelve (12)
months from its effective date and may be further extended for such
additional periods as the City Council may deem appropriate, not
exceeding a total additional period of eighteen (18) months.
Section 9. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be effective
immediately upon its passage and publication according to law.
WHEREUPON, said Ordinance was declared passed and adopted
this 2nd day of August, 1999.

Additionally, in the last four (4) years, the
City has had a total of only two (2) building per-

In addition to the eighty (80) single-family
residential building permits already issued in
1999, there are approximately 1,000 more
which are working their way through the sys-
tem. Accordingly, it is the belief of the City
Council that residential development is the only
type of development that needs to be curtailed
during the time of this study. Simply stated,
other forms of development are so de minimis
that they have no real affect upon the issues
being studied during the term of the moratori-
um.
Section 3. Authority, Minnesota Statutes
§462.355, Subd. 4 permits the adoption of
interim zoning ordinances for the purpose of
protecting the planning process and the health,
safety and welfare of its citizens.
Section 4. Conclusions. The City Council
finds that it is necessary in order to protect the
health, safety and welfare of its citizens, to pro-
tect the planning process, to conduct the stud-
ies described above, and to place a moratori-
um on residential development within the
MUSA during the term of the studies.
Section 5. Development Moratorium y
A. A study is hereby authorized and direct-
ed to be conducted by the City staff to
study and decide how the City should
amend its official controls with respect
to those items addressed herein. Upon
finishing the studies, the City Council
shall review the matter and make such
decisions as are in the best interests of
the City of Hugo.
B. Pending completion of the studies and
adoption of any amendments to the
City's official controls, it shall be unlaw-
ful for any person to subdivide residen-
tial land within the Metropolitan Urban
Service Area of the City of Hugo.
Additionally, during the period of time of
the moratorium, no applications shall be
processed and no land use approvals
shall be considered or issued for subdi-
vision until the studies referenced herein
are completed and the City Council has
made a decision as to the "official con-
trols."
C. For the purposes of the moratorium, the
term "residential subdivision" shall be
defined in the Hugo City Code to include
both major and minor subdivisions.
D. That the Council recognizes that they do
not possess, individually, the expertise
necessary to address each of these
study areas. Accordingly, City Staff is
hereby directed to recommend the hiring
of those experts which will assist the
City in property analyzing and studying
the issues described herein.
Section 6. Exceptions. This moratorium
shall not apply to:
A. The lawful use of an existing subdivision.
B. Construction, location or development of
subdivisions which have received all
necessary permits and approvals, or
have received preliminary plat approval
from the City prior to the date of the
