<br />MINUTES <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />November 19, 2015 3 <br />Mayor Sjoblad updated the Commission on John Babinski’s projects and vision for his <br />business in Pequot Lakes. Mr. Babinski had attended the recent EDC meeting. <br /> <br /> <br />OLD BUSINESS: <br />a. David Kennedy – Metes and Bounds Subdivision Discussion <br />Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Mr. Kennedy was not present. When asked, Mr. <br />Burslie stated there was no action required unless the Planning Commission were to <br />remove Condition Number 2. No vote was necessary as the Planning Commission <br />concurred with their previous decision to retain Condition Number 2. <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie further explained that approval of a Metes and Bounds Subdivision will be <br />void if not acted upon within one year unless the approval is extended by the Planning <br />Commission. The Metes and Bounds Subdivision for Mr. Kennedy was approved <br />November 20, 2014. Staff recommends the Planning Commission extend their time to <br />act on the approval and to submit the new survey until December 21, 2015. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Oraskovich, <br />seconded by Planning Commission Member Brown, to extend the time for <br />Mr. Kennedy to act on the Subdivision and submit the new survey until <br />December 21, 2015. All members voted “aye”. Motion carried. <br /> <br />b. Virgil Dahl <br />Ms. Bittner explained the Staff Report. Once the cleanup fees are certified to his real <br />estate taxes and not a receivable, Staff was directed to address the Land Use Permit <br />Application for the storage buildings. <br /> <br />c. Wilderness Resort Review Committee Update <br />Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. The vegetation plan included in the packets has <br />not been approved. The Code requires shoreline to have 75% screening; this is a large <br />property and it is difficult to determine what 75% would be. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Member Oraskovich suggested possibly removing some of the <br />small trees but not any of the big trees. <br /> <br />Planning Commission Member Engels stated Mr. Burslie noted on site the location of a <br />potential historic ice ridge and wetland area and that the property owner should not <br />remove them. Mr. Burslie stated the wetland needs to be delineated. <br /> <br />Mr. Burslie stated the Committee has taken more ownership in their review than <br />originally granted by the Council. The Committee will need to find a place where both <br />the City and the property owner are happy. <br />
