1i. The subject property meets the requirements of the code for stromwater <br /> management. <br /> i2. There are no public streets proposed within the development. <br /> All members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> c. Fence Location, Discussion <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Chair Engels stated some bushes are also too <br /> high at intersections; could the height of bushes also be included? Mr. Burslie stated the <br /> Maple Grove verbiage state"no structure or planting". If it is a public safety issue <br /> maybe the Police Department can get the bushes trimmed or removed. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that clear visibility is an issue at <br /> numerous intersections. <br /> Transparent fences higher than 3o inches could be allowed, such as chain link. Mr. <br /> Burslie stated the City of Crosby has a similar ordinance;the City of Brainerd may also. <br /> The ordinance does not apply to alleys in Crosby. <br /> Thirty feet may be too aggressive; 2o feet may be more reasonable. <br /> Existing fences would be exempt. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding intersections with overgrown shrubbery that made travel <br /> through the intersections unsafe. Chair Engels and Staff will send out some addresses <br /> to the Planning Commission to take a look at before the ne�ct meeting. Staff will contact <br /> the Public Warks Supervisor to see if we have any recently surveyed streets to measure <br /> the 20 or 3o feet. <br /> Staff was directed to bring back an ordinance amendment in September. <br /> d. Porous Asphalt, Discussion <br /> Mr. Burslie elcplained the Staff Report. The City has not recognized porous asphalt as a <br /> pervious surface. Overtime if not maintained properly they become clogged with pine <br /> needles, sand and leaves clogging the openings and making it impervious. <br /> Property owners would be responsible for the maintenance. The City would want to <br /> monitor the maintenance to verify it is being done. <br /> If the ordinance is amended porous asphalt would be allowed on all projects in the City. <br /> It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to continue to not allow it except by <br /> Variance approval. <br /> MINUTES 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August i�, 2oi� <br />
