ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: None. <br /> OPEN FORUM: None. <br /> NEW BUSINESS: <br /> a. SolSmart Designation, Discussion <br /> Chair Birch explained Solsmart is an opportunity for the community to tap into a set of <br /> resources to refine our policies as it revolves around solar energy. The City did use some <br /> of their resources when we drafted the solar ordinance. Applying also would get the City <br /> recognition and would give the City additional levels of technical assistance. It is a free <br /> program. <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Norton, seconded by <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson, to recommend the City Council <br /> adopt the Solsmart designation for the City. <br /> Roll Call Vote: Birch —Aye; Larson —Aye; Norton —Aye; Paulbeck—Aye; <br /> Wilson —Aye. Motion carried. (5 — o) <br /> b. Main Street Gateway, Discussion <br /> Mr. Burslie explained that review of the gateways into Pequot Lakes is a project priority <br /> for this year for the Planning Commission. He further explained the list of <br /> improvements for the Planning Commission to consider. By meeting remotely, it will be <br /> difficult to have productive discussions but asked the Commission Members to consider <br /> improvements and be ready to discuss when we can meet together. <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Wilson, seconded by <br /> Planning Commission Member Larson, to table the gateway discussion until <br /> a later date when we can meet together. <br /> Chair Birch pointed out the next item on the Agenda is the Downtown Plan Update <br /> which is another topic that needs productive discussion and input from all Members. <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson amended his motion to include also <br /> tabling the Downtown Plan Update discussion to a later date when we can <br /> meet together. Planning Commission Member Larson seconded the <br /> amendment. <br /> Roll Call Vote: Birch —Aye; Larson —Aye; Norton —Aye; Paulbeck—Aye; <br /> Wilson —Aye. Motion carried.
