MINUTES 4 Pequot Lakes Planning Commission January 15, 2015 When asked, Mr. Marohn explained the accessory structures do not need to be moved as they exist today; they remain nonconforming. You can lessen a nonconformity, which this does. A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Habein, seconded by Planning Commission Member Wilson, to approve the metes and bounds subdivision, based on the following Findings of Fact: 1. The subject properties are properly zoned “Rural Residential”. 2. The lot widths of the proposed parcels meet the minimum standard of 200 feet. 3. The proposed parcels meet the minimum area requirements of the Rural Residential zone. 4. The “Adams Tract” currently contains a non-conforming dwelling and a non- conforming accessory structure. The subdivision does not increase the level of non-conformity. 5. The “Hendrickson Tract” currently contains a non-conforming dwelling and a non- conforming accessory structure. The subdivision does not increase the level of non-conformity. 6. The subject properties are not adjacent to the municipal water and wastewater utilities. All three parcels contain a private sewer system and a private water well. 7. The properties are suitable in their natural state for the intended purpose and these lot splits would not be harmful to the health, safety, or welfare of future residents or of the community. 8. The applicants are not proposing any provisions for water-based recreation. 9. The proposed lot layout meets the requirements of the ordinance. 10. The proposed side lot lines are at right angles to the existing road line and the property line of the adjacent property. 11. Each of the proposed parcels has at least 33-feet of frontage on public right-of-way. 12. The subject property meets the requirements of the code for stromwater management. 13. There are no public streets proposed within the development. 14. The proposed subdivision would bring the existing dwellings on the “Adams Tract” and the “Hendrickson Track” into conformity so they are not encroaching on the side yard setback. All members voted “aye”. Motion carried. b. Preserve Golf Course Wetland Fill Zoning Administrator Bittner explained the SWCD is the Local Government Unit for the City; the City is invited as a courtesy. Initially, the Preserve requested 15,000 to 20,000 square feet of fill on Hole #5. They have now proposed to fill 10,000 square feet to allow for easier play for women and junior golfers.
