Planninq and Zoninq <br /> 6.1. Planninq Commission Report <br /> The January 31, 2019 Planning Commission Report and January 17, 2019 <br /> draft Planning Commission minutes were received by Council. <br /> 6.2. Public Nuisance Update <br /> Dawn Bittner informed the Council of the open enforcement action for the <br /> property located at 31116 Ash Street owned by John and Barbara Derksen. <br /> Ms. Bitter explained that the outstanding violation is the number and location <br /> of snowmobiles stored outside. The City Code allows three recreational <br /> vehicles to be stored outside in the rear yard. Mr. Derksen currently has <br /> seven snowmobiles strewn about his yard and a fifth-wheel trailer which he <br /> did move meeting the setback. City staff sent finro letters requesting the <br /> moving of finro snowmobiles along West Sibley Street and Ash Street to the <br /> rear yard to reduce the total number of recreational vehicles to three which <br /> would remedy the remaining code violations. Mr. Derksen responded to this <br /> request on December 18, 2018 noting the snowmobiles along Ash Street <br /> were part of a holiday light display and would be disassembled a couple of <br /> weeks after the first of the year, weather permitting. Mr. Derksen also noted <br /> the snowmobile along Ash Street is a piece of art being tumed into a flower <br /> planter and would remain indefinitely. Ms. Bittner further noted on January <br /> 31, 2019 Mr. Derksen still had snowmobiles along Ash Street and West <br /> Sibley Street. <br /> Mayor Tayloe explained that Mr. Derksen's snowmobile planter is decorative <br /> and the holiday display is great. <br /> John Derksen, 31116 Ash Street, Pequot Lakes, addressed the Council. <br /> Mr. Derksen explained that the first complaint letter he received from the <br /> City was because finro snowmobiles were brought home from storage for a <br /> Halloween display and to be worked on. The second complaint letter from <br /> the City was for his Christmas display on the west side of his property. He <br /> noted he has three sleds and a sleigh and receives numerous compliments <br /> February 2�, 20�9 Staff Report Page 3 <br />
