The Long Prairie City Council approved a Conditional Use Permit for Hidalgo Investments LLC to convert 144 Central Ave into eight residential units. The CUP (Resolution 25-02-12-09) requires a minimum of eight on-site parking spaces, proper sizing or replacement of the water service line at the owner’s expense, televising the sanitary sewer service for review, and sign-off from the City Engineer and Building Official on final designs. The motion passed (Roll Call: Perez-Yes, Kreemer-Abstain, Gripne-Yes, Krueger-Yes, Schroeder-Yes).

Council minutes state the parcel is in the C-1 zoning district and cited findings that the proposed use is compatible with the comprehensive plan and zoning.
