Background— � <br /> Chair Hallan stated it provides a history,but the phrase "any other single factor" is a ' <br /> strong statement and feels the school district has as much to do with how the City is laid <br /> out and its'history as MN/DOT. Reference to the trail being a well-worn path for ' <br /> loggers is unnecessary. <br /> Planning Commission Member Norton stated there are a lot of details included; do we <br /> need to include from foot to horse, etc. Staff was directed to tighten up the Background <br /> Section and include information when the school moved to its current location and <br /> when Highway 37i moved to the Patriot Avenue location. <br /> Planning Commission Member Leckband stated Sibley Township is mentioned,but the <br /> annexation is not explained. <br /> HIGHWAY 37i — <br /> Staff will provide a 2 paragraph narrative. <br /> Planning Commission Member Birch asked if this will include the opportunities created <br /> by the new alignment and stated the Economic Development Commission included <br /> comments as well. <br /> LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS — <br /> Mr. Burslie stated the City is in the process of creating new road and street standards. <br /> Chair Hallan pointed out that having the City take back Highway 37�versus Crow Wing <br /> County has allowed the City flexibility to modify the downtown area. <br /> Planning Commission Member Birch asked if the Comprehensive Plan is the place to <br /> consider the northbound traffic from the Industrial Park. Mr. Burslie state it would be a <br /> general policy or statement. Planning Commission Member Birch was concerned with <br /> the heavy truck traffic on Rasmussen Road. This corridor is not an area to mix heavy <br /> truck traffic with pedestrian traffic. Mr. Burslie stated we could include a statement to <br /> be cognizant of heavy truck traffic in or near residential areas and how those streets and <br /> roads are laid out. <br /> Chair Hallan stated that a policy should state to designate a truck route to County Road <br /> ii and Highway 37i from the Industrial Park avoiding residential areas. <br /> POLICIES — <br /> Mr. Burslie read through each Policy. <br /> ACTIONS — <br /> One action item was to provide storage lockers for roller blades. It was the consensus <br /> that this was not necessary to include. <br /> MINUTES 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> March i5, 2oi8 <br />
