Mr. Burslie reminded the Planning Commission that at this time we are not approving <br />layout changes. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan asked Mr. Steffens how many units will be in the <br />lodge. Mr. Steffens stated i2, except it would depend on what you count as a unit. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan stated there would be i6 if the studios were <br />counted; Mr. Steffens concurred. <br />When asked by Planning Commission Member Hallan, Mr. Steffens stated there is no <br />change to the 3 story lodge. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan asked if the current beach is to be e�ctended to <br />13o feet or i5o feet. Mr. Steffens stated i5o feet and loo feet for the east side beach. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan then asked where the 390 feet in his <br />Supplemental Submittal came from. Mr. Steffens stated it includes dock system #3, the <br />boat ramp, and any area where the shoreland vegetation is cleared or will be cleared. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan asked how the docks are put in now. Mr. <br />Steffens stated they are hauled down on a trailer. Planning Commission Member Hallan <br />stated there is an evident need to get equipment down to the dock systems possibly a 2- <br />week period in the months of May and September and fall cleanup. Mr. Burslie stated <br />Condition # i6 addresses that. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan reminded the Planning Commission Mr. Steffens <br />stated one dead pine will be removed to construct the lodge. In reality there will be <br />dozens or hundreds of trees removed to develop this commercial facility. Whether a 2 <br />or 3 story lodge, parking lots, tennis court and new units, a lot of trees are going to be <br />cut down. Elevations need to be determined and there will need to be shoreline <br />modification if the DNR allows the boat ramp to be moved. <br />Planning Commission Member Wilson stated there is no control who is using the golf <br />carts, if allowed. He has had experience with the National Park Service prohibiting their <br />use. Mr. Steffens stated he has seen it work in golf course gated communities, but <br />requires someone to make sure teenagers are not misusing them. <br />Planning Commission Member Engels inquired about the topography at the lodge and <br />asked if it slopes up on each end, sitting in a swell. Mr. Steffens stated it sits in a valley. <br />Planning Commission Member Engels then asked if the entire length of the building was <br />a walkout, the same level from corner to corner. Mr. Steffens stated it is designed to fit <br />within the existing grades. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan stated the northwest corner of the lodge is at <br />i22o contour and the flat area is at 1210 contour. The southeast end of the building near <br />MINUTES 4 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />February 20, 2014 <br />
