easement for access to their property. There is potential for a problem in one or
the other were ever sold. LaValle felt that a maintenance agreement, similar to
the Dole-Bergman agreement, should be submitted. The Council felt that Mr. Bar-

in any future land divisions.

MOTION CARRIED
5.6 Stephen Chapman - Minor Subdivision
Mr. Chapman was looking for a Minor Subdivision to correct a lot line on the land
where his house sets. Mr. Chapman stated that he has sold his house, and the
future owner was not interested in purchasing any additional land. The house was
November 16, 1981
constructed over the property line and the lot line would have to be shifted to
accommodate the house and septic system. Mr. Chapman "assumed" that he owned two
distinct pieces of property (6 acres each) , and that they were divided in Oneka
Township. The deed was recorded in 1966, and had two legal descriptions, which
means the land was never officially divided. Attorney Johnson said that the city
should be looking at setbacks now, and any variances that would be required.
The Certificate of Survey indicates a Parcel A which should be eliminated. Only
Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 should be included.
MOTION: Irsfeld made motion, seconded by McAllister, to approve the Minor Sub-
division for Stephen Chapman, subject to the following:
1. One legal description for Parcel 1 , which is that parcel containing
the existing building.
2. A legal description for Parcel 2.
3. Granting of a variance to Parcel 2 for a front setback requiring
that the future residence be built at lease 175' behind the cul-de-sac
line.
4. Submission of a corrected Certificate of Survey, for the city's records,
eliminating all reference to Parcel A.
5. Submission of satisfactory proof-of-ownership.

MOTION CARRIED.
5.3 Zimco Wood - Question on Special Use Permit
Stan Zimmerman was present and questioned Item 1 of his Special Use Permit relating
to signing of the permit within 60 days. The Council stated that the intent of
that condition was that the permit and any financial guarantees be submitted within
a certain length of time, rather than leaving the permit open-ended. Mr. Zimmerman
stated that the bank was not supplying letters of credit for periods longer than
6 - 9 months. The letter of credit submitted expires April 1 , 1982, and Mr. Zimmer-
man stated that it will be renewed at that time.
ARCHIE AND PAULA POTTER (MCCLOUD PROPERTY) - LAND DIVISION
Paula Potter, Mr. McCloud's daughter, is requesting land division so that she can
get her deed recorded where their house is being constructed. A survey was sub-
mitted showing a split into three parcels, all 10 acres with 300' road frontage.
Before land division can be approved, Mrs. Potter is to provide the city with Con-
tracts of Deeds to verify they correspond with the parcels divided.. A legal opinion
will also be required for the 39 acres for which Mr. Robert McCloud is the fee
owner. This matter to be placed on the agenda for meeting of 12/7/81 .

Mayor LaValle suggested that a fair market price be obtained prior to the sale of
the tank.
McAllister withdrew his motion.
9.0 CLERK
The Clerk inquired about the feasibility of the issuance of Mobile Home Permits on
a yearly basis. It has been the experience of the clerk's office that some time is
spent on obtaining the $10.00 renewal fee. Mayor LaValle did not feel this to be
a good idea, and suggested that a letter be sent to the guilty parties stating that
if they do not cooperate, the city will consider increasing the renewal fee.
The Clerk received a call from Claude Bloomer regarding parking in front of his
residence. He questioned whther the city would be considering no parking on both
sides of the street. LaValle felt that this is an enforcement problem, and no
parking signs would be a problem for the snowplows.
November 16, 1981
MOTION: LaValle made motion, seconded by Irsfeld, to extend the meeting pass
11 :00 PM.
All aye. Motion Carried.
The Clerk received a call from Rachel Waller regarding the transportation of
uncovered diseased trees by her property. Mayor LaValle did believe the city
to be located in a controlled zone, where this regulation would apply.. The Clerk

findings.

MOTION CARRIED
The Clerk received a letter from Wilson Tool regarding the drainage plan in the
Bald Eagle Industrial Park. LaValle stated that Mr. Kuusisto has been in contact
with the engineers from Rice Creek and Wilson Tool, and suggested that a meeting
be scheduled to address a number of problems.
The city received a call questioning whether city property could be used as a parking
area for people who wish to share rides. Everyone agreed that the facility provided
for parking along 35E is a risky proposition. LaValle. asked that Councilman
Vail contact Father Tiegles to see if arrangements could be made for the use of
churchproperty for this purpose.
10.0 MISCELLANEOUS
Kuusisto stated that he should be receiving the results of the borings taken at the
Kruse property on Sunset Lake, sometime this week. He stated that we could be
looking at a modified mound system and the installation of a new septic tank.
It would be a fair guess that the cost of the new system will exceed the bond as
provided by Arnold Monson. Attorney has drafted an agreement between Doug Kruse
and the City of Hugo, but will add a maintenance c kse to the document.
MOTION: Irsfeld made motion, seconded by Vail, to adjourn at 11 :35 PM.
All aye. Motion Carried.
