2. DBA Wilderness Resort: Their letter answered all questions. Discussion <br /> among Commission Members concluded that it was an existing non- <br /> conforming use and is a problem rather than a violation. <br /> 3. Virgil Dahl: He has not responded to previous correspondence and contacted <br /> again. <br /> 4. Lonesome Cottage Furniture Company: CUP on Agenda for next month. <br /> OPEN FORUM: None. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: None <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> Chairperson Nagel read the following letter he had received from Jim Fruth: <br /> Craig: <br /> With the onset of a new banner law in the works, I am concerned about the future <br /> of our Farmers' Market. Clearly a third of our traffic is tourists, first timers, who might <br /> not stop except for banners indicating some of what we are selling. Our other two thirds <br /> are locals and snow-birds who are also influenced by our banners, especially when they <br /> (the banners) indicate `produce in season'. <br /> We keep our banners neat. We put the up when we set up and take them down <br /> when we leave. If Pequot Lakes were to enforce a no-banner rule, that would, <br /> essentially, put us out of business. I beg of you to consider our livelihood when your <br /> planning committee proposes a banner law. <br /> Thank You, <br /> Jim Fruth <br /> Brambleberry Farm <br /> 4002 Davis Street <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472-3024 <br /> (218)568-8483 <br /> A short discussion followed indicating that their banners are tasteful and have nice <br /> pictures of the seasonal produce being sold. <br /> The next meeting will be held on December 19, 2002 at the old Sibley Town Hall. <br /> A motion was made by Karl Moon, seconded by Tom Woog, to adjourn the meeting. All <br /> members voted"aye". The meeting was adjourned at 9:20 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Dawn Bittner <br /> Planning &Zoning Staff <br />
