Economic Development Commission Minutes January 19, 2016 Page 2 of 4 three foot towers in their parking lot on existing light poles. This would generate a small amount of revenue for the school district and he thought this would be something for the City to consider. Dawn Bittner informed the Commission that these small towers fall under the definition of accessory structure within the zoning ordinances. This would make it a permitted use as long as the height requirements do not exceed the maximum within each zoning classification. She further noted that a minimum permit fee of$125 would apply. The Commission questioned if the zoning ordinances need to be examined to address this potential issue and directed Ms. Bittner to hold off on this until an inquiry is made from the wireless carriers. 5. Breezy Point Resort—Guest Services Directory Book Nancy Malecha informed the Commission about an idea that was presented to her to place an ad in the Guest Services Directory Book at Breezy Point Resort on behalf of City businesses. Ms. Malecha noted that collaboration with the Pequot Lakes Chamber may be a good idea for the Commission to consider. Dawn Bittner informed the Commission on further information regarding ad sizes and costs for their consideration. Mayor Sjoblad felt that this type of advertising would be a good thing for the City to do with the upcoming road construction schedule. Sheila Haverkamp noted that a common theme with this advertisement and the road construction signage would be beneficial. COMMISSIONER ROGGENKAMP MOVED TO AUTHORIZE A FULL PAGE AD IN THE BREEZY POINT RESORT GUEST SERVICES DIRECTORY AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $600 WITH THE MARKETING MESSAGE AND DESIGN CREATED BY THE PEQUOT LAKES CHAMBER WITH E-MAIL APPROVAL BY THE COMMISSION. COMMISSIONER RIECK SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED 3-0. The Commission would like a year-end report from Breezy Point Resort on the receptiveness of the Directory. 6. EDC Vacancy Chair Jurchen noted that there is currently a vacancy on the Economic Development Commission with the resignation of Barb Merritt.
