<br />MINUTES 4 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />May 21, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br />There was no Public Comment. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Brown, seconded by <br />Planning Commission Member Oraskovich, to recommend the City Council <br />amend the City Code regarding Subdivision Standards as proposed. All <br />members voted “aye”. Motion carried. <br /> <br />Chair Seils closed the Public Hearings. <br /> <br />ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: None. <br /> <br /> <br />OPEN FORUM: None. <br /> <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS: None. <br /> <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS: <br />a. Wilderness Resort Review Committee <br />Dawn Bittner explained the Committee met with Mr. Steffens on April 28, 2015. At that <br />time the trees were not leafed out and the grade cuts had not been made. There had <br />been no new tree removal. <br /> <br />Bittner further reported that Mr. Steffens telephoned May 5, one week later, stating he <br />planned to remove anything 3 inches or smaller. I told him I couldn’t approve that; it <br />would need to be approved by the Committee. He will be out of town for a few weeks <br />and will contact me on his return to schedule another onsite meeting of the Committee. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Members Engels and Oraskovich stated that Mr. Steffens had <br />contacted them by telephone also. <br /> <br />b. Extractive Use Ordinance – Discussion <br />Dawn Bittner explained she had contacted the League of Minnesota Cities to collect <br />draft language to present to the Planning Commission. The League notified her that <br />there are no samples because cities generally don’t have authority to unilaterally impose <br />and collect road impact fees and cited the case. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission requested Staff to include draft language for this for future <br />pits or expansions along with the new language for the new maps, etc. This will be <br />brought back as a discussion item.
