A document showing the =changes has not been provided: The time and effort <br />would not be worfi3 it There arc some sections where this could be done, but <br />some parts were ac' ly deleted It would be a huge cost with no real value. <br />There is no provision in the plait for commercial development in the bypass area: <br />The Council passed a resolution for no development in the bypass area and the <br />plan has been written in accordance with that resolution. There currently is <br />commercial zoning along County Road 11. A map indicating the locations was <br />suggested. The City should look at development along there only after receiving <br />input from the existing business community. <br />3. The Plan lacks details for an audience: Who is the audience he refers to? The <br />Comp Plan is not a marketing brochure; it is for the City to do positive things for <br />our community. The target audience is the elected officials. The strategies are for <br />the commissions /committees to put into action. <br />4. Park Plan does not provide essential parks: There are no ball fields. The <br />Recreation section is not detailed and specific beyond a few action items. It is not <br />a detailed Park Plan. Let's pass the Comp Plan and deal with it; we can make a <br />Park Plan an action item. <br />MINUTES <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />December 15, 2011 <br />
