Planning Commission Member Norton asked if they provide winter boat storage. Mr. <br /> Achterkirch stated there would be no exterior storage of customer boats at this facility. <br /> There would be some boats displayed outside for sale. A clear, shrink wrapped boat <br /> outside would be for sale. There would be exterior storage of stock units, owned by MN <br /> Inboard, on site, under a white shrink wrap. <br /> Vice-Chair Birch noted that for a majority of the year,there would be exterior storage of <br /> the new stock boats. Mr. Mueller stated for aesthetic purposes, the majority of shrink <br /> wrapped boats would be on the back of the building. Mr.Achterkirch stated that there <br /> are awnings around the building that would provide display area for boats that wouldn't <br /> need to be shrink wrapped. There will also be inside display of boats. <br /> Vice-Chair Birch asked what the average size is of the boats. Mr. Mueller stated the <br /> average size of their boats is 20' — 25'. Some pontoons are 2�'. The average sale price is <br /> $i25,000 - $i3o,000. <br /> Vice-Chair Birch asked Staff if there should be a specific number of boats included, as <br /> someone at a later date may store yachts, etc. Mr. Burslie stated it is best to be specific <br /> and could be included in the Findings and Conditions. Vice-Chair Birch suggested an <br /> average length times 20o boats as a reasonable amount. <br /> Mr. Mueller stated it would be difficult to state that we can't have anything over a <br /> certain length. Vice-Chair Birch concurred. Mr. Achterkirch stated that their primary <br /> boat is Malibu,which acquires other boats from time to time. They recently purchased <br /> Cobalt whose boats are primarily 32'. <br /> Vice-Chair Birch suggested 6,000 lineal feet of boats can be stored on the property. Mr. <br /> Burslie suggested limiting the space to store boats to the improved areas. The Planning <br /> Commission will be reviewing another application for this same property regarding <br /> impervious coverage. <br /> Discussion ensued and it was agreed to include the following as a Condition: Operable <br /> boats may only be stored on the asphalt areas. <br /> PUBLIC COMMENT OPENED: <br /> Harold Herboldt— Owner of Flour Sack Antiques across the street. Welcomed them to <br /> the area and stated this addition will be good for the area businesses. He questioned the <br /> disposal of oils, etc. Vice-Chair Birch stated Condition #4 addresses disposal of the <br /> hazardous waste. <br /> Mr. Herboldt asked what was going to be changed on the property. Vice-Chair Birch <br /> stated the next Agenda item will address proposed changes to the property. <br /> MINUTES 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> April i8, 2oi9 <br />
