Planning Commission Member Engels stated there appears to be li live trees in the area <br />where the lodge is to be built. Mr. Steffens stated they are not losing one pine tree. <br />Planning Commission Member Engels stated there are Norway and white pines over by <br />the LP tank. Mr. Steffens stated they will shove the building to the north to miss those <br />trees. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated as it was included in last month's <br />Minutes, this is a commercial property and trees are going to be cut down. As they <br />replat, they will try to save trees. <br />The Docking Systems: <br />A113 systems were approved by the DNR and the City 5 years ago. Number 5 will be <br />stricken. <br />Beach Areas: <br />When asked, Mr. Burslie stated that the road does not act as a barrier for runoff; an ice <br />ridge would do that. Planning Commission Member Habein stated that a trail or <br />roadway could be a barrier if built up properly. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan stated the path toward dock system # i, there <br />appears to be a retention pond north of the path; the path could be raised to be a berm, <br />developed as a natural feature on the landward side of it. The runoff from the lodge <br />would not be crossing the path. Mr. Burslie stated that section is in the bluff; the <br />stormwater management plan will indicate how the stormwater will be handled. <br />Planning Commission Member Habein asked if the beach on the east side was legal. He <br />was told it was not. <br />Planning Commission Member Oraskovich stated he is not in favor of the second beach, <br />reiterating the DNR comments regarding removal of the second beach. Planning <br />Commission Member Wilson concurred. <br />Planning Commission Member Brown stated she agrees to extending the existing beach, <br />but not to allow the second beach. Planning Commission Member Engels concurred. <br />Planning Commission Member Habein stated the City should try to get a little closer to <br />what is allowed by the DNR. If Mr. Steffens has 260o feet of shoreline, is he allowed to <br />improve 25%? Mr. Burslie stated that "improve" is not in the ordinance. He is required <br />to have 75% screening and allowed to move 5o cubic yards of material. He is over that <br />with the existing beach. <br />Mr. Steffens stated the existing beach is 80, 90 or ioo feet deep. The drawing is <br />incorrect. <br />Minutes <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission 7 <br />March 20, 2014 <br />
