COMMUNiTYGROWTH 1 N S T I T U T E August 1, 2005 Carl & Colleen Smith 19513 State Highway 371 Brainerd, MN 56401 Re: Public Hearing for Property Rezonings PIN 290104100BA0009, 290104100BB0009,& 29010410OA00009 City of Pequot Lakes Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith, This letter is to inform you that the public hearings for the rezoning of your properties, with PINS as listed above, will be held at the regularly scheduled Pequot Lakes Planning Commission meeting on August 18, 2005. The meeting, held at City Hall, starts at 6:30 p.m. and your hearings start fifth on the agenda. As you may already know, the City of Pequot Lakes recently adopted a new Land Use and Subdivision Ordinance. The City is in the process of rezoning all properties within the City to conform to the new zoning classifications in the Ordinance and to conform to the goals described in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City has proposed to rezone your property, PINS 290271402A0009 and 29010410013130009, from Multi-family Residential to Transition Residential. The City has also proposed to rezone your property, PIN 290104100A00009, from Wooded Residential to Transition Residential. The purpose and intent of the Transition Residential zone is to provide a zoning classification that serves as a medium-density buffer between areas of higher density and areas of lower density. The Transition Residential zone may be utilized in some second-tier shoreland areas and/or on the edge of the municipal utility service area. The zone may or may not be served by municipal sewer and water, but must be within the project utility service area. For a rezoning, the Commission holds a hearing to review your rezoning and then makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision. The City Staff prepares a Staff Report each month for all of the hearings. If you would like a copy of the report for your hearing, there will be one available at City Hall for you to review one week prior to the meeting or you can read it online at www.communitygrowth.com/pequot---lakes/. More information about the new zoning classifications and what they mean for you can also be found at City Hall or online at www.pequotzoning info. 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 Baxter, MN 56425 (218) 828-3064 www.communrtygrowth.com
