ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS_IygGO_rMIE--ADCOJLWJES.;)_ The City Council received copies of letters from the city engineer, as well as representatives of the Harstad Companies, regarding acceptance of the public improvements in Hugo Meadows subdivision. The city engineer indicated that the project has been completed and is acceptable' With regard to the February 15, 1989 effective date, City staff questions establishing that as the completion, as grading and stormwater control improvements had to be made to the ponding areas after the date in question. City staff suggests that the official acceptance date be established as July 1, 1989, based on when the final grading work was completed. Atkinson made motion, McAllister seconded, that the City of Hugo accept the public improvements (sewer, water, streets, curb and gutter) in the Hugo Meadows subdivision, effective July 1, 1989, based on conditions of the Development Agreement. Their letter of credit can now be reduced as per said Development Agreement' All aye' Motion Carried. Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., has made application to the City of Hugo for site plan approval to construct one additional satellite antenna dish on their property in the Peloquin Industrial Park' The antenna in question is located 53' from the north property line, and approximately 125' from the east property line. The height of the satellite antenna in question is approximately 35', and will not be any higher than the existing satellite dishes on site. The site is served with road access from Freeland Avenue. In 1981, the City Council issued a Special Use Permit authorizing this type of land use within in the industial park. In reviewing the site plan, however, we should point that the proposed 151st /�' � /�/m City Council meeting of August 211 1989 Page 2 Street North does not exist. There is no such road in this area, and based on other surveys of record, this roadway was not dedicated to the City, and it is very unlikely that it will ever by constructed. The site in question is identified as two parcels: one is Lot 11 and one is Lot 12 of a subdivision plat that was never approved by the City Council. The legal description on the site, however, indicates this is a single parcel of land, and has been treated accordingly by the City Council' The total parcel in question is approximately 168' in width and 574' in length. There is a 10' utility easement on the west and south borders of the site. It does not appear that the satellite in question will interfere with any of the other site features, and that said proposal appears consistent with the original SUP. Jesinski made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the application of Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc., for a site plan to construct one additional satellite antenna dish in the Peloquin Industrial Park, identified as Lots 11 and 12 on the submitted site plan. Hubbard Broadcasting has agreed to perform the following in conjunction with the approved site plan: 1. Enlarge fence line to include new antenna construction area. 2. Install buried electrical conduit running from existing equipment building to the foundation site. 3. Construct antenna foundation. 4' Erect a 35' high antenna. 5. Connect the AC power from equipment building. 6. Connect antenna to satellite equipment. 7. Provide required drainage easement deeds as shown on site plan. All aye. Motion Carried. BUILDING SETBACK VAR1AN10E_JPRINgL_:' Mr. Richard Pringle has made application to the City of Hugo to construct a 40' x 60' pole barn between his home and 170th Street at 4975 170th Street, Hugo, MN. City ordinances require that accessory buildings not be located between the principal structure and the front property line' Although the accessory building in question would be located in front of the house, it would still be 360' from centerline of 170th Street North. It is the intent of the applicant to use the building in question for a horse barn and residential storage. It should be specified that no commercial activity will be allowed in the building in question. The property is zoned agricultural, and contains approximately 10 acres' Approval of the variance request would be consistent with previous Council action regarding sites of this nature; however, said approval should clearly indicate that the building in question can be used only for residential—related purposes, and cannot be used for any type of commercial or manufacturing activity. Olson made motion, Vail seconded, to approve the variance application of Richard Pringle to construct a 40' x 60' pole barn between his home and 170th Street, at 4975 170th Street. No commercial/industrial activity will be allowed. All aye. Motion Carried. /0� City Council meeting of August 21, 1989 Page 3 Mr. Steve Hartman has made application to the City of Hugo for a variance to construct an oversized garage on his property located at 4920 Gallivan Court, Hugo, MN (aka Lot 8, Block 1, Bald Eagle Estates). The property in question is zoned SFE, and is approximately one acre in size' The maximum garage square footage allowed in an SFE district is 720 square feet, and Mr. Hartman's request is for a 900 square foot attached garage. Approval of this variance, by the City Council, should be subject to compliance with the restrictive covenants for Bald Eagle Estates with the understanding that the garage will be used for residential purposes only. Vail made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the variance request of Steve Hartman, 4920 Gallivan Court (aka Lot A. Block 1, Bald Eagle Estates) to construct a 900 square foot attached garage for residential purposes only. All aye. Motion Carried. Atkinson made motion, Olson seconded, to approve the variance request of C. Brimmer, 4908 120th Street North (aka Lots 12-15, Block 6, Shadyside No. 4, Bald Eagle Addition) to construct a covered porch 44' from 120th Street. City ordinance requires a 50' front yard setback in the SFE zone. All aye. Motion Carried. Representatives of the FLYSB requested an opportunity to appear before the City Council to make a presentation regarding their activities in the past year. A request was made for 1990 funding in the amount of $2,630. The bureau's representatives were informed that their request will be considered at budget time. On behalf of the Peltier Lake Association, Mr. Wayne LeBlanc requested an opportunity to appear before the City Council to request City support o-- an fan MPCA grant to study the water quality of Peltier and Centerville Lakes. In reviewing this request, the Council considered the following: 1. The surface water drainage system in the City of Hugo does outlet into the Lino Lakes area, and it is our understanding that drainage may outlet into both Peltier and Centerville Lakes. 2, A request to fund water quality studies for lakes outside of the City of Hugo may be viewed with some scepticism by the private lake associations within the City of Hugo. Mr. LeBlanc appeared before the Council requesting support and a financial contribution as a part of a local grant match to the HPCA to study the water quality in the watershed which runs into Peltier and Centerville City Council meeting of August 21, 1989 Page 4 Lakes. He submitted a sample resolution for Council consideration. After a lengthy discussion, Mayor Atkinson called for a motion on the proposed resolution. Failing to receive a motion of support, Mr. LeBlanc was informed that the City Council was not desirous of supporting the resolution at this time. JIM LEROUX REQUEST Mr. Leroux did not appear at the meeting after requesting to be on the agenda. BUDGET PRESENTATION. The City staff submitted a preliminary draft of the proposed 1990 general fund budget for Council review. The City Council meetings of September 5 and 18, 1989 will commence at 6:00 PM for discussion of the City's 1990 budget. Mayor George Atkinson requested the City Council review the engineering study prepared by the City of Lino Lakes regarding the improvement of Elmcrest Avenue on the City's western coporate limits. There will be further discussion of this matter after City Administrator, Ken Huber, has completed his meetings with representatives for Lino Lakes. Mayor Atkinson stated that he had received complaints regarding the operation of the Hansen/Goiffon gravel pit. He requested that City staff contact the Sheriff's office asking for a radar check on County Road 8A, and the city engineer be directed to make his annual inspection of the gravel site with the possibility of requiring the on-site monitor' Doug Wilske, 14553 Hyde Avenue, was present at the meeting asking for clarification of the Hyde Avenue road improvements. Mayor Atkinson responded to the questions, and Mr. Wilske stated he was satisfied that his questions were answered' City Administrator, Ken Huber, reported the status on the following matters: 1.
