MINUTES <br />PEQUOT LAKES PLANNING COMMISSION <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />AUGUST i5, 2oi3 <br />PRESENT: Bill Habein, Mark Hallan, James Oraskovich, Cheri Seils and Wesley <br />Wilson. ABSENT: Deb Brown and Scott Snyder. <br />CIT'Y PLANNER: Justin Burslie, Community Grow <br />ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Dawn Bittner <br />COUNCIL LIAISONS: None <br />;;�=% <br />GATEWAY DISCUSSION: <br />Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Planning Commission Member Hallan <br />stated that SEH provided tra�c projection� in 200� o"r 2002. There will be a lot <br />of local traffic after the new highway is built. The school traffic will remain. This <br />segment will not need 1�o feet of right-of-way. <br />Mr. Burslie stated we may need to obtain new traf�c projections. The use will be <br />similar to CSAH 11. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission to obtain <br />current MN/DOT dailytraffic estimates. <br />Planning Commission Orasko�ich stated traffic is different when school is not in <br />session. There will be summer tourist traffic and summer activities. <br />Mr. Burslie pointed out that Highway 371 will no longer be a state highway, not a <br />county road, but a City street similar to West Grove Street. The capacity would be <br />higher on old 37i than on West Grove Street. The example in the Staff Report <br />would not allow tra�c to get through, but it shows what could be constructed. <br />The right-of-way could lae platted and sold for development. The dead end in <br />front of the Bobber Pa�k'is worthless. <br />Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that north and south of County <br />Road il diagonal parking could be considered; the pavement width is already <br />there. Diagonal doubles the density of the parking area. It was also pointed out <br />that trailer parking is an issue. State aid standards create a buffer zone for safety <br />backing out of diagonal parking. Parallel parking could also be added on the west <br />side. <br />The east side along park may not be a good choice for redevelopment and could <br />meet a lot of resistance for development. <br />MINUTES <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />August 15, 2013 <br />
