Member Hallan stated there is a current approved plat and if a new plat is approved, <br />there could be changes. Mr. Burslie explained certain densities are allowed and the <br />applicant would need to come back in to change the configuration of the lots and go <br />through the public hearing process. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated there <br />is currently an approved plat that the applicant is allowed to remove the cabins and <br />build larger structures. Mr. Burslie explained this is the Conditional Use Permit; the <br />applicant will need to come in for a Condominium Plat. The application for the <br />Condominium Plat has not been submitted. This application is for the lodge, second <br />beach, existing beach expansion, etc. <br />Sue Stevens, Grandmother was one of first residents on the lake — this application <br />would be good for Gull Lake, Mille Lacs Lake, the North Shore, but not for a very small <br />lake like Middle Cullen. <br />Debbie Pearo, Middle Cullen Lake — Golf carts should not be necessary for a resort this <br />size. <br />Mr. Burslie explained Wilderness Resort is private property and they are allowed to <br />have golf carts; the City can designate where parking and paths or roads along the <br />shoreline can be. <br />Vice-Chair Brown stated the City had received a letter from Joel and Shelly Thordson <br />regarding tonight's meeting and made it a part of the record. <br />Public comment closed. <br />Mr. Burslie explained the City has 6o days to make a decision on an application. If a <br />decision has not been made, the City can extend it another 6o days with a letter <br />explaining why it is extended. Next month's meeting would be beyond that extension. <br />If no decision is made tonight, one option would be to schedule a special meeting before <br />the time is up or have the applicant waive the 6o-day rule. <br />Mr. Burslie stated Staff recommends approval of the amended Conditional Use Permit <br />with 26 conditions, 251isted in Staff Report and he has one additional to add. Each <br />condition should be discussed. <br />The Lodge: <br />#3. In order to preserve the character of the neighborhood and the surrounding area, <br />the height of the lodge may not exceed i8 feet. <br />ADD #4. First floor elevation will match existing grade within +/- i.5 feet. <br />Minutes <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission E <br />March 20, 2014 <br />
