since Mr.Walberg brought an attorney into it. The City Attorney will decide if a <br /> condition should be added and the wording of that condition. <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson stated the Fire Chief quoted Code. Mr.Walberg <br /> stated he provided the same Code. Mr.Walberg stated the Fire Chief was not aware of <br /> the DNR access when he wrote the letter. Planning Commission Member Wilson stated <br /> that Mr.Walberg has had the driveway blocked with a trailer and other items in the <br /> past,preventing access for customers. Mr.Walberg stated that is why he needs to <br /> expand. He has basically been using half of his property. He needs to be able to use the <br /> other half. It was set up that way when he was leasing it,but now he owns all of it and <br /> this will a11ow him to clean things up with additional display area. <br /> Mr.Walberg read from a prepared memo. He re�erenced the November 2i, 2018 letter <br /> sent to him by Zoning Specialist Bittner outli�ing the items requested by the Planning <br /> Commission at the November meeting. <br /> 1. Floor drain— Mr.Walberg stated he would install drain provided he be given the <br /> same timeframe as David Herrera who he believ�ed had a 2-year timeline. <br /> 2. Scalable site plan— Mr.Walberg provided a cad drawing of the commercial area <br /> with all of the buildings and their measurements. The second part of the request <br /> was to include the number of vehicles for each area. He stated he is currently out <br /> of spaces to park and needs to use the whole area. It should be up to the business <br /> owner to decide how and where his vehicles are displayed for sale. He offered <br /> i5o vehicles or sawmills, or combination of either. That would be approximately <br /> i5,000 sq.ft., or ii%impervious coverage. This should be a business owner's <br /> decision,not Planning and Zoning. <br /> 3. Screening along Patriot Avenue—50%screening is required and Mr.Walberg <br /> beiieves his property is almost completely screened in areas. He had provided <br /> photos for the packet. Qne photo indicates 100% screening. Mr.Walberg stated <br /> other businesses aver the years had MN/DOT thin trees in the right-of-way. <br /> 4. Screening along south lot line—Mr.Walberg has agreed to erect a fence between <br /> the two buildings. He did not offer to construct a 20o foot fence. He requested <br /> the io-foot setback be waived;the DNR placed their rocks on the lot line. <br /> Chair Hallan asked where the DNR parcel is located; Mr. Burslie highlighted the parcel <br /> on the screen. The DNR parcel extends all the way to the lake. <br /> Planning Commission Member Birch stated it would be good to know if the fire access <br /> roads need to be maintained roads,or does the DNR parcel provide adequate access. <br /> Mr.Walberg stated Crow Wing Auto Body has been maintaining the DNR parcel for <br /> years. Planning Commission Member Birch stated that is a question for the attorney, <br /> not the Planning Commission. <br /> Planning Commission Member Norton asked if the fence would impede the fire lane. <br /> Mr.Walberg stated he is planning on a fence between the 2 buildings including <br /> MINUTES 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> January 1�,2oig <br />
