MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE HUGO CITY COUNCIL
December 5, 1983
The special meeting was called to order at 6:10 PM.
PRESENT: Peltier, Atkinson, Schwab, Vail, McAllister
City Assessor - Frank Langer
RICHARD GRANGER - REZONING
Mr. Granger had previously requested the Council to table his application for the
rezoning of 20A (SFE) and 30A (RRI) to the SFU zone. The Council chambers was
filled with concerned residents adjoining the property to be rezoned. Mr. Granger
stated that his plans are to have a well for every lot, sanitary sewer only for
property that would be rezoned, and access and egress on Falcon Avenue. It was
noted that all members of the City Council were present for the public hearing
for this application for rezoning.
Mr. Langer, assessor for Hugo, was present to discuss property valuations. Mr.
Langer stated that the average value, per home, in that area is probably the
highest of any area in Hugo. He stated that after discussing the situation with
other assessors, and after trying to compare the situation with other communities,
it was his opinion that the sale of higher valued homes is not effected by an ad-
joining plat of lower valued homes.
The residents restated their concerns should the property be rezoned: loss of pri-
vacy, traffic, increased costs to all of Hugo, and loss of rural charateristics.
There was some discussion as to the possibility of modifying the request, but Mr.
Granger decided to let the application stand as is. It would appear that the Council
would look more favorably upon an application requesting one acre homesites, and
work with the developer to phase in the utilities, streets, etc., to lessen the
financial burden on the developer toward developing one acre sites
MOTION: Vail made motion, Peltier seconded, to adopt ORDINANCE 198, An Ordinance
