Motion carried. <br />APPLICANT: City of Pequot Lakes <br />Applicant requests an Ordinance Amendment for Industrial Park Subdivision <br />Overlay District <br />Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. This amendment would reduce costs and <br />streamline the process, providing an easier process for subdivision. <br />Public Comment: None. <br />Public Comment Closed. <br />When asked, Mr. Marohn stated the Baptist Church would also be contacted to see if they <br />had interest in subdividing their lots. <br />Overlay zones keep the code clean, with fewer rules. Anything to make it easier to do <br />business is a good thing. We've been told there are too many barriers in place making <br />that difficult. This is simplifying the process, costing less; this is a win -win situation for <br />everyone <br />There was an issue previously with Overlay Zones from the Council. Rather than writing <br />a separate ordinance, duplicating things, this keeps the ordinance from becoming <br />massive. This strikes out what is not required in that Industrial Park area. <br />Council Member Akerson stated that this creates another level of bureaucracy, another <br />set of rules and more confusion. When Chairman Pederson asked how there could be <br />more confusion, Mr. Hallan emphasized that we are removing layers with this Overlay <br />Zone. Chairman Pederson explained that we are making it less complicated. <br />MINUTES <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />July 21, 2011 <br />
