MINUTES <br /> PEQUOT LAKES PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> REGULAR MEETING <br /> JUNE 16, 2016 <br /> PRESENT: Deb Brown, Bill Habein, Mark Mortenson, Nathan Norton and Wesley <br /> Wilson. ABSENT: Todd Engels and Mark Hallan. <br /> CITY PLANNER: Justin Burslie, NJPA <br /> ZONING SPECIALIST: Dawn Bittner <br /> COUNCIL LIAISON: Jerry Akerson <br /> The meeting was called to order by Vice-Chair Brown at 6:00 pm and opened the public <br /> hearing. <br /> APPLICANT: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Applicant requests an Ordinance Amendment regarding accessory <br /> structures in the Rural Residential, Forest Management and Agriculture <br /> Zones <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Council Member Akerson asked if a sewer <br /> design would be required to build a hay shed. Mr. Burslie stated if the highlighted <br /> language was left in,that it would be the letter of the law. <br /> Planning Commission Member Mortenson stated sewer designs on large tracts does not <br /> seem necessary. On a Rural Residential parcel with wetlands or limited building area it <br /> would be an advantage to have a sewer design,but not for Agriculture or Forest <br /> Management zones. <br /> Planning Commission Member Brown concurred. On large parcels there is plenty of <br /> room for a septic system. Although 5 acres is a good sized parcel,we need to be sure <br /> there is room for the septic system for Rural Residential parcels. <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson asked if she meant to remove the highlighted <br /> language from the Forest Management and Agriculture zones,but leave that language in <br /> the Rural Residential zone. Planning Commission Member Brown suggested striking <br /> the highlighted language in the Forest Management and Agriculture zones and keep it in <br /> for the Rural Residential zones if the Planning Commission thinks it is appropriate. <br /> MINUTES <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> June 16, 2016 <br />
