Re : Informal discussion held with Leon Brummel and Ronald DiMonte on the McHugh property . Chairman Groner stated that Mayor Davidson requested that Leon Brummel be put on the agenda in regard to the McHugh property. He also stated that the City Clerk had been notified of the amendment to the agenda. Mr. Brummel and Mr. DiMonte wished only to seek advise from the Commission at this time. Mr. DiMonte showed the members their last original plan which was drafted in 1979. The property was divided into five acre parcels. Two of the parcels had been sold. One was sold to the Catholic Church, and one to Bert Erickson. They would like to build a subdivision on parcel 8. They will be requesting for a variance to 70 feet on the lot frontage and a lot coverage of 10,000 sq. ft. Mr. Clarage stated that this could be accomplished under R-3 zoning. They would need to request to rezone from R-1 to R-3. They have planned for a retention pond at the corner of McHugh and Main St. for water run-off. Par- cels 11 , 12, and 13, would need to be annexed into the City limits. They are planning to do one parcel at a time; Parcels 8 and 9 being the first. They stated that they are only seeking direction from the Commission tonight, and that they do not expect any decisions at this time. Mr. Feltz stated that they would have to conform to the Subdivision Control Ordinance. Mr. Clarage stated that they should present a preliminary plat when they appear before the Commission again. Chairman Groner felt that it would be beneficial to the community to have this land developed. Mr. DiMonte stated that they would need a temporary turn-around. Mr. Feltz inquired as to what they would do in the future. Chairman Groner inquired about Center St. running all the way through the property. Mr. Feltz stated that the Commission would require an agreement from Bert Erickson to run a street through from Center St. before it would be approved. Mr. Stewart questioned whether a cul-de-sac could be put in. Mr. Feltz stated that the City does not favor dead end streets. He also stated that the Commission would like to see a master plan showing the layout of all the streets and how everything is going to fit together. Chairman Groner felt that the other parcels would be the determining factor of what will be done with parcel 8. Water and sewer hook-up was also discussed. Chairman Groner stated that if they would like to be put on the agenda for . the November 27 , 1984 meeting, to contact the City Clerk at least a week before the meeting. Chairman Groner stated that he was glad to see some progress in the area. Mr. Brummel questioned whether there would be a problem with having parcels 11 , 12, and 13 annexed. Chairman Groner stated that the City would welcome squaring off its boundaries. Mr. Brummel and Mr. DiMonte thanked the Commission for their time. Mr. Stewart questioned about the Land Cash Grant Ordinance. It was wrote in 1975. Mr. Clarage stated that it is based on population and costs. The members were in question as to whether the donation was mandatory. Mr. Stewart inquired as to whether the figures in 1975 would be adequate at the present time. Chairman Groner suggested having the City Council review the ordinance.

A roll call vote was taken. Ament - aye Groner - aye Stewart - aye Beaudry - aye Felt - aye All members were in favor . Mr. Feltz stated that he did not like to see the McHugh property zoned R-3.

The flood plain is 580 ft from the river. The members were also concerned with the streets.

Mr. Feltz thought that the diagrams should be identified according to the ordinance. Chairman Groner questioned whether there was any additional business. Mr. Stewart made a motion to adjourn.
