be resort personnel. Guests would only use golf carts to access the 2 beaches and the 3 <br />docking systems. It is not practical to only allow golf cart traffic to one dock system. <br />Mr. Burslie stated the golf carts are motorized vehicles and Staff suggests in the Staff <br />Report to centralize that traffic to one dock system. Through earlier discussions it was <br />determined to not have motorized traffic in this area; those Findings of Fact and <br />Conditions from prior approval are included in the packet. <br />Mr. Steffens stated there is no beach at dock system #3. Without golf carts, how would <br />handicapped or elderly access the beach area on the east side? He is proposing <br />screening of the golf cart parking areas with no traffic around the end of the point. <br />Mr. Steffens stated a previous request was to indicate the areas of the resort where <br />woodlands would remain. The area for the new drainfield would require extensive <br />removal of trees. <br />Public Comment: <br />Ann Seaver, Cullen Lakes Association — The site plan dated i/29/14, the very eastern <br />part of the property near the convention area and meetings rooms indicates this area as <br />wooded, but that area was approved for garages and is not shown. Mr. Steffens stated <br />this is not part of the garage plat. <br />Tom Beaver, Nisswa — Reminds the Planning Commission that the entire east shoreline <br />is designated as wetlands, Type 2, 3& 4. <br />Jeff Miller, owner of some units and Vice-President of the Homeowners Association — <br />The Association has given unanimous approval of this plan. There is a need for the <br />second beach; the existing beach is not adequate for large contingencies of guests. As <br />the number of guests grow, there will be more pressure on the single beach. This is the <br />only resort in Pequot Lakes. Everyone as owners wants this to be a nice resort and want <br />to use and enjoy the lake just as any other property owner on the lake. The items Mr. <br />Steffens is requesting is not excessive. They are trying to be good stewards of the lake. <br />Golf carts allow ease to access the beach and the facilities; this is a large property. Let's <br />put together a plan that works for everyone, not just the lake association or the owners. <br />Ann Beaver — Stated she is not sure how many villas have been built, but the County tax <br />records indicate ownership by 5 individuals and the rest owned by the resort or LLC's. <br />She was curious how many people were represented by the homeowners association. <br />Jeff Miller — Stated he owns 4 villas and put them in an LLC so guests can't sue him <br />Public Comment Closed. <br />MINUTES g <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />February 20, 2oi4 <br />
