<br />MINUTES 6 <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />July 16, 2015 <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie stated an expansion of Mr. Walberg’s CUP would require a public hearing; <br />this matter could be placed on the Violation List. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to wait for a response from Mr. <br />Walberg and to place this item on the August Agenda. <br /> <br />Council Member Akerson stated it is not unusual for used car lots to have boats and <br />motorhomes for sale. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that Mr. Walberg is <br />permitted for vehicles. Council Member Akerson stated Mr. Walberg should amend his <br />CUP. <br /> <br />Zoning Administrator Bittner will notify Mr. Walberg. <br /> <br />Design Review Team – Volunteers <br />Mr. Burslie explained that there may be interest in development along the new <br />alignment of State Highway 371 and the Design Review Team (DRT) would be involved <br />in those discussions. Two members of the Planning Commission are required to be <br />members of the DRT and Staff is making the Planning Commission aware they may be <br />contacted in the future. <br /> <br />July 21 Meeting – Volunteer <br />Staff has been asked to schedule a meeting to discuss potential development along the <br />alternate alignment. Mayor Sjoblad, Council Member Peterson, City Planner Burslie <br />and Zoning Administrator Bittner will be attending. Chair Seils is not available to <br />attend and Staff is requesting one Planning Commission Member to volunteer to attend. <br />The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 21 at 2:00 PM. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Member Wilson will try to attend. <br /> <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS: <br />Comprehensive Plan Review – Donjek Report <br />Mr. Burslie explained he was surprised at what the Report contained; he has always <br />assumed the report stated the alternate alignment would kill the city. It stated the <br />opposite. <br /> <br />The zoning section states the current zoning fits with the proposed highway with large <br />tracts, and low density development. The report also references making sure we don’t <br />leap frog along County Road 11 and develop the east side. We should look at <br />incremental development from the west. <br />
