This would give people the ability to take care of <br /> individuals who need care. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated the temporary dwellings are only <br /> permitted for a 6-month period with an option to renew for another 6 months. We have <br /> a mechanism in place to assign administrative fines if they don't remove the structure in <br /> that timeframe. <br /> Planning Commission Member Habein stated this type of structure may work fine <br /> through a Conditional Use Permit. <br /> When asked by Planning Commission Member Brown, Mr. Burslie stated guest quarters <br /> are allowed only in certain zoning districts. These temporary dwellings would be <br /> allowed in every zone. <br /> Planning Commission Member Brown then asked what kind of structure would be used. <br /> Planning Commission Member Mortenson stated the structures are modular and there <br /> are companies building them for this purpose. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated they would be similar to the park models <br /> at the RV Park. Park models look like a cabin but are on wheels. The structures must be <br /> designed to meet state accessibility standards. They would be a major expense and not <br /> available from local trailer sales. This would be temporary and could be used if someone <br /> is waiting to get into a facility. <br /> MINUTES <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> July 21, 2016 <br />
