The property was recently rezoned to Transition Residential, which has a minimum <br /> buildable lot area of 5 acres and a minimum lot width of 200 feet.

The properties in question are properly zoned as they conform to the <br /> Comprehensive Land Use Plan and are compatible with the surrounding zoning classifications. <br /> Should the Planning Commission find that residential development at the density allowed in the <br /> Urban Residential zone is appropriate for the properties in question, some of the neighboring <br /> �... properties would have to be rezoned in order to provide a transition buffer between the urban <br /> densities and the rural densities to the north.The property directly to the north and the property <br /> to the northeast should be rezoned to Transition Residential in order to make the zoning <br /> districts in the area compatible with one another. To rezone these additional properties, a <br /> separate public hearing will have to be held at a later date. <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report 6_3 <br /> October 20,2005 <br />
