Laura Leckband was curious to laiow if there was an analysis done of the resulting lots <br /> left after the construction of Highway 371 adjacent to the highway. She wondered if the <br /> zoning is appropriate. Chair Hallan stated there were not a lot of small lots created. <br /> Staff stated the Planning Commission reviewed the Future Land Use Map in February, <br /> 2oi�and the Council affirmed those recommendations. Mrs. Leckband stated this may <br /> be an opportunity to create a corridor that specifically allows uses such as signage which <br /> might not be allowed in Rural Preservation. Chair Hallan pointed out signage is covered <br /> in our Sign Ordinance. <br /> Chair Hallan opened the Public Hearings. <br /> APPLICANr: Craig Vlaanderen <br /> Applicant requests a Variance <br /> Mr. Burslie explained Mr.Vlaanderen has submitted a written request to withdraw his <br /> Variance request. <br /> APPLICANT: David Herrera <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to Operate an Au#omobile <br /> Repair Shop <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Applicant was present. Mr. Burslie stated there <br /> is a floor drain but the property owner doesn't know where it drains to. City Staff <br /> determined it does not drain to the municipal wastewater line. It must be draining to a <br /> holding tank. <br /> Planning Commission Member Leckband asked if our zoning ordinance has a <br /> requirement how the applicant will deal with their hazardous waste. Mr. Burslie stated <br /> there are reporting requirements from the MPCA. <br /> Mr. Herrera stated he will be contracting with a company to take care of the filters, oil, <br /> etc. The company is named OSI. Mr. Burslie stated a copy of the contract with OSI <br /> could be added as a condition. <br /> Discussion ensued regarding work on vehicles that would take place outside. It was the <br /> consensus of the Planning Commission that work is to be done inside, although there <br /> may be an emergency situation. <br /> Planning Commission Member Birch recommended the vegetative buffer should remain <br /> between this property and the residential parcel to the north. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT OPENED: <br /> No Public Comment. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT CLOSED: <br /> MINUTES 5 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March i5, 2018 <br />
