#2. What was the purpose at the time the CUP was adopted in 200�and is this <br /> requirement still serving the purpose that was intended at the time. <br /> #3. Please ask yourselves when drafting and reviewing a Conditional Use Permit <br /> conditions, is this going to make the business more or less likely to want to move here. <br /> Will this make people more or less likely to come shop and support our community? <br /> #4. Is this condition consistent with the way other businesses are being treated in our <br /> community? Selective enforcement of ordinances has been an issue in our community <br /> for years. Numerous other businesses in the Industrial Park have outside storage that <br /> doesn't require screening. That is why we build industrial parks in the first place. When <br /> I drove over here I drove through the Industrial Park and I counted at least 6 or�, <br /> depending on the subjectivity of it, of what some might consider blighted outside <br /> storage in the Industrial Park. <br /> #5. Will having a precedent of i00%screening for a manufacturing facility operations <br /> make it more or less likely to attract other businesses to our community and specifically, <br /> the Heart of the Good Life Development,the 8o acres south of this property. <br /> Facts and circumstances change. There is a current State law that says you can't have <br /> Sunday dinner before you shovel the sidewalk. How many other state laws, city <br /> ordinances and conditional use requirements are there currently in place that should be <br /> removed? Many people live and move to rural Minnesota because they don't want <br /> people to tell them what they can and can't do with their property. Putting <br /> unreasonable restrictions on a person's property limits our personal freedom. It takes <br /> people with common sense amd no personal political vendettas to make poor decisions. <br /> Please allow me to just focus on making my business better and take care of my <br /> customers rather than getting distracted further with our city's politics. I have tried to <br /> steer clear for 10 plus years of the city politics that have been going on here. I have tried <br /> to serve by being the Chair of Crow�+1�ing County HRA and on the School Board for 8 <br /> years." <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated he will take exception to one statement. <br /> Mr.Anderson stated only one? He felt pretly good about that. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated he does not believe the City has selectively <br /> been enforcing certain ordinances. I have sat through hundreds, no, over a thousand <br /> meetings in my life here and in other cities. Has everything been done fairly? No. This <br /> is not a perfect group,but I don't believe the City, as a whole, has selectively tried to go <br /> around any ordinance with anyone. There is a long history, I don't think we need to get <br /> into that; I don't think we have burned any bridges. Brandon,from that stand point, I <br /> think your personality has changed in the last 15 years and you also matured a lot more <br /> from my stand point. I am just saying that now the bypass is in and now you see what it <br /> MINUTES ao <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> April i8, 2oig <br />
