Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can approve of the conditional use permit, deny the application, or table the request if additional information is needed. If the motion is for approval or denial, findings of fact should be cited. Staff Recommendation: A conditional use permit was obtained through Crow Wing County in 2000 for the existing business. The proposed development is consistent with the existing use of the property. Although the existing zoning and future land use of the property are both Rural Residential, an expansion of the existing use would not be harmful to the development of properties in the vicinity of the subject property. The property is fairly large and well screened so the proposed expansion will not negatively impact the rural character of the area. Staff recommends the application be approved with the following conditions: 1. The landscaping plan dated 3/20/13 shall be implemented in full. The landscaping shall be maintained and kept free of weeds and debris. Pequot Lakes Staff Report 4(a)-4 April 18,2013
