The property more closely fits the lot size and width of the Transition <br /> Residential zone and would follow the purpose of the zone: to serve as a"medium-density buffer <br /> between areas of higher-density and areas of lower-density." Based on the findings of fact, the <br /> Staff recommends that this property be rezoned,as proposed,to Transition Residential. <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7_3 <br /> September 15,2005 <br />
