pgCOMMUNITY GROWTH <br /> INS T I T U T E <br /> March 20,2008 <br /> Mayor and City Council <br /> City of Pequot Lakes <br /> 4638 County Road 11 <br /> Pequot Lakes,MN 56472 <br /> Re: Planning Commission Report <br /> Dear Mayor and City Council, <br /> The Planning Commission met for their regularly scheduled March meeting at which they held two public <br /> hearings and reviewed various new and old business matters.The Planning Commission is forwarding the <br /> following recommendation for your consideration: <br /> 1. Ordinance Amendment, Signs in City Parks, City of Pequot Lakes. The Pequot Lakes Park <br /> Board has recently asked the City about installing signs to identify City Parks throughout the City of <br /> Pequot Lakes. Under the current City Ordinance this would perhaps not be allowed. The Planning <br /> Commission has approved the language change to the Ordinance.The new language will clearly allow the <br /> Park Board,or any other City department,to install necessary signs. <br /> The following is Section 17-7.1, the Signs, section of the Ordinance, amended as per the Planning <br /> Commissions review. <br /> Section 17-7.1 SIGNS <br /> 2. Required Permits. All signs are considered structures and require a Zoning Permit, except <br /> signs placed by the City,County or State to relate the laws or ordinances, or to promote the <br /> health safety and welfare of the community,which are exempt, and signs exempted in <br /> 7.1(3). <br /> Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding any item contained in this report <br /> or otherwise. We can be reached by phone at (218) 828-3064 or by email at or <br /> marohn@communitygrowth.net. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> COMMUNITY GROWTH INSTITUTE <br /> Charles Marohn,PE <br /> City Planners <br /> CC: Planning Commission <br /> Sandy Peine,City Clerk <br /> Dawn Bittner,Zoning Administrator <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 I Baxter, Minnesota 56425 I 218.828.3064 I www.communitygrowth.com <br />
