sure the animals are being taken care of. Mr. Babinski stated the animals are going to be <br />`-- taken care of. <br />Mr. Hallan asked if the perimeter of the property will be fenced. Staff explained the <br />applicant had initially planned to fence the entire property but now only plans to fence <br />the exercise azea. <br />A motion was made by Mark Hallan, seconded by Cheri Seils, to approve the request for <br />the Conditional Use Permit for a combined animal shelter and assembly facility at the <br />former Outlet Crafter Mall, based on the following Findings of Fact: <br />1. The proposed uses are not separately classified in the land use matrix, but would <br />fall under the "Other Commercial" category. As such, the proposed uses, with <br />conditions, are appropriate within the Commercial Zone. <br />2. The property is adjacent to Agricultural, Rura1 Residential as well as other <br />Commercial property. The proposed uses, with conditions, are compatible with <br />the existing neighborhood. <br />3. The proposed uses, with conditions, would not be injurious to the public health, <br />safety, welfare, decency, order, comfort, convenience, appearance or prosperity of <br />the City. <br />4. The subject property is approximately 12.73 acres and the proposed uses, aside <br />from the fenced "exercise area," are centrally located on that acreage. The <br />proposed uses, with conditions, should not be injurious to the use and enjoyment <br />�. of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose permitted on that <br />property, nor substantially diminish or impair values in the immediate vicinity. <br />5. The conditional uses, with conditions, will not impede the normal and orderly <br />development and improvement of surrounding vacant property for uses <br />predominant in the azea. <br />6. There are no public improvements or use of public facilities proposed. The <br />proposed use will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community. <br />7. The subject property is currently accessed from County Road 107. That access is <br />sufficient and is not proposed to be changed. <br />8. There is an abundance of on-site parking spaces on the subject property. No <br />off-street parking spaces will be required. <br />9. The applicant indicated that the northern building (proposed animal shelter) is <br />insulated so that no animals will be able to be heard outside. The southern <br />building should not produce any atypical noise. Adequate measures have been <br />taken or will be taken to prevent or control offensive odor, fumes, dust, noise, and <br />vibration, so none of these will constitute a nuisance and to control lights and <br />signs in such a manner, that no disturbance to neighboring properties will result. <br />10. There are not any known historical features of major significance on the subject <br />property. <br />11. The subject property currently has three stormwater retention ponds and a private <br />sewer system for which there are no proposed changes. The conditional use will <br />promote the prevention and control of pollution of the ground and surface waters <br />`, including sedimentation and control of nutrients. <br />Minutes 4 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />February 17, 2011 <br />
