McCullough also has made application for variances to the 100' width requirement. The land is located in the Flood Plain, and there was a lengthy discussion as to whether the city can create an unbuildable lot, if indeed it would be considered unbuildable. The land owner would need a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District, as well as a SUP from Hugo to construct in the Flood Plain. Attorney Flannery assured the Council that Mr. Leibel was aware of the requirements to make a buildable lot. It was the recommendation of the Mayor that Mr. Leibel come in and get copies of the Flood Plain Ordinance, and checklist for SUP. He should show what his plans are. When he obtains a Rice Creek permit, and after he goes to the Planning Commission, the city will consider an application for Minor Subdivision. The lot purchased by Robert McCullough may have to be added to his existing lot. 57 July 2, 1984 McCullough - cont. MOTION: Peltier made motion to table matter until the next meeting. Peltier withdrew her motion. There was some discussion as to whether if Mr. Leibel signed a hold harmless agreement stating that he would not hold Hugo liable if no Building Permit were to be issued, wheterh the city would grant the subdivision. Mayor McAllister stated that he would like to talk to the City's legal counsel about such an agreement. RADAR There was discussion as to the pro's and con's of the City squad having a radar unit. It was thought that radar would deter speeding if drivers were aware of the radar unit. Ms. Mardell also felt it to be a good tool when prosecuting driving violations. MOTION: McAllister made motion, Schwab seconded, that the City of Hugo purchase the radar set as specified in the bid from Custom Radar. The city will donate the radar unit to the Washington County Sheriff's Office, with the understanding that that unit will be assigned exclusively to the squad car used in the Hugo contract. The sheriff's department will provide all the annual maintenance and certification, as well as all record keeping for the unit, in the amount of $1540.00.
