Gateway enhancements depend on the jurisdiction ownership of the roadways. This is <br /> still uncertain at this time so the existing statements hold true. <br /> Large trailer parking was brought to the Planning Commissions attention a while ago. <br /> The Park Board has suggested removing the gravel parking area at the north end of <br /> Trailside Park; people using ride share use that to park and the semi-trucks delivering to <br /> Pro Build use it to pull in so they can back into Pro Build. The City could use a"Park <br /> and Ride"lot. When the playground equipment is added to Trailside Park a parking <br /> area will be needed. Zoning Administrator Bittner stated the Park Board recently <br /> suggested installing a curb and to designate parking spaces along East Sibley Street. A <br /> few on-street spots will not be enough. The School lot is open all summer and could be <br /> used for the"Park and Ride"lot, as well as the City lot next to Giovanni's and the Cole <br /> Memorial Building. <br /> The statement that pedestrian traffic only on North Washington Avenue should be <br /> removed. <br /> The Park Board should be consulted for their recommendation on parking. <br /> Page 2, second to the last paragraph discussed a shuttle service from area resorts to <br /> Nisswa and Pequot Lakes. The resorts are providing that service now and it was the <br /> \., consensus of the Planning Commission to leave in as an option. <br /> The City Council approved the lighting design for North Washington Avenue; a photo of <br /> the approved lighting will be included in the Plan. Shorter light poles could be used <br /> between the corners with higher poles on the corners for truck traffic. <br /> A street design should be developed to be used throughout the City. This would be a <br /> basic design that would include details as each street is redeveloped. <br /> Mr. Burshe pointed out the photos of the light pole and power pole included in the <br /> Report. These are not attractive and should be buried as the streets are reconstructed. <br /> The meeting was called to order by Chair Seils at 7:00 p.m. <br /> PUBLIC HEARINGS: None <br /> ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: None. <br /> Minutes 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 21, 2014 <br />
