Box 497 <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> Re: Public Hearing for Property Rezoning <br /> PIN 290271402A00009 <br /> City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Dear Mr. and Mrs. Sergent, <br /> This letter is to inform you that the public hearing for the rezoning of your property, PIN <br /> 290271402A00009, will be held at the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting on <br /> Thursday, August 18, 2005. The meeting, held at City Hall, starts at 6:30 p.m. and your public <br /> hearing is the fourth hearing on the agenda. <br /> As you may already know, the City of Pequot Lakes recently adopted a new Land Use and <br /> Subdivision Ordinance. The City is in the process of rezoning all properties within the City to <br /> conform to the new zoning classifications in the Ordinance and to conform to the goals described <br /> in the City's Comprehensive Plan. <br /> The City has proposed to rezone your property from Forestry to Agriculture, as described in the <br /> new Ordinance. The purpose and intent of the Agriculture zone is to provide a zoning <br /> classification for the preservation of family farms and small-scale agricultural uses and to allow <br /> for low density residential development compatible with those uses. Development patterns are <br /> characterized as very low density residential without municipal utility service and with only <br /> limited demand for accessibility. Agriculture zoning should be used to preserve rural character. <br /> For a rezoning, the Commission holds a hearing to review your rezoning and then makes a <br /> recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision. The City <br /> Staff prepares a Staff Report each month for all of the hearings. If you would like a copy of the <br /> report for your hearing, there will be one available at City Hall for you to review one week prior <br /> to the meeting or you can read it online at www.communitygrowth.com/pequot lakes/. More <br /> information about the new zoning classifications and what they mean for you can also be found <br /> at City Hall or online at www.pequotzoning info. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56425 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
