Dotty: Nay; J. Derksen: Aye. Ayes: 3; Nays: 2. Motion Carried. <br /> APPLICANT: Linda Richards and Dan Volk <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to amend the PUD for Wilderness <br /> Point Resort. <br /> Applicant was present: Linda Richards, 6316 Wilderness Road, Pequot Lakes, <br /> MN. <br /> Ms. Elliott explained the Staff Report. <br /> Ms. Richards explained that they didn't intentionally violate their conditional use <br /> permit from the County. They had gone to the County to request RV's on tent <br /> sites. Tent sites mean no sewer or water. The campers have been down next to <br /> the lake for 9 years or more. They have requested public comments and had a <br /> petition signed. They have been told that there is less noise and traffic with the <br /> seasonal sites than with the tent sites. <br /> Comments from the Audience: <br /> Everett Utter, 5804 N. Linden Road, Nisswa, MN. He has been a resident of the <br /> lake for 38 years. The area of the tent sites was developed by a previous owner <br /> by cutting into the hill and pushing the dirt in the lake. Renters at the resort sunk <br /> his row boat 3 times 2 years ago. He had been told there were no guidelines for <br /> the renters. The area is saturated. New pontoon and lift along shore and how <br /> many docks allowed in the PUD. <br /> Ms. Richards stated that they do have guidelines but cannot patrol the water. <br /> They have more control over renters they know, rather than tent campers that <br /> change every weekend. <br /> Charlie Boudrye: He has been up here 25 years and wonders what the <br /> distinction is between soft-side campers and tents. The impact on the <br /> environment is a wash. The resort tried tens for 2 years, and it caused them to <br /> go to seasonal use. The noise problems were greater with the tenters. <br /> Tom Beaver, 26834 Pine Acres Road, Nisswa, MN: He attended the Crow Wing <br /> County Planning Commission meeting in 1998 when the PUD/CUP was <br /> approved. The Commission Chair, Bob Albrecht, noted the lack of tent sites <br /> remaining in the county and felt they should remain. The Commission concurred. <br /> He stated that he is not representing the 2003 Cullen Lakes Board, but rather a <br /> carryover of the 1998 Board. The Minutes of the Crow Wing County meeting <br />
