Mayor Sjoblad stated the current City standards are for large roads and <br /> the City needs a plan for rural standards. There needs to be room for snow storage. The <br /> City has a Rustic Road designation with very few standards,but there needs to be water <br /> management, etc. The Planning Commissions task is to design something smaller that <br /> is sufficient for snow plowing, etc.,but to maintain existing forests. <br /> Public Works Supervisor Loven stated as a minimum standard he would like to require <br /> pavement so the City doesn't need to bring a road up to that standard at a later date. <br /> MINUTES 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> January 15, 2015 <br />
