All members voted"aye". Motion carried. -, <br /> Ordinance Amendment Regarding Transition Residential Zoning <br /> Classification <br /> City of Pequot Lakes, applicant. <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. <br /> There was no Public Comment. <br /> When asked, Mr. Burslie explained accessory structure size will be based on maximum <br /> impervious coverage. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan pointed out that accessory structure size is <br /> limited in the Rural Residential zone. Mr. Burslie stated the accessory structure size <br /> should be amended in the Rural Residential zone also. Staff was directed to bring that <br /> amendment to a future meeting. <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Oraskovich, <br /> seconded by Planning Commission Member Hallan, to recommend the City <br /> Council amend the ordinance, based on the following Findings of Fact: <br /> 1. The purpose and intent of the Transition Residential zone is to provide a <br /> residential zoning classification that serves as a medium-density buffer between <br /> areas of higher density and areas of lower density. <br /> 2. There is a disparity in the minimum lot area for the Transition Residential zone <br /> requiring 10 acres when it should serve as a medium-density buffer between <br /> Rural Residential requiring 5 acres and higher density areas such as Urban <br /> Residential. <br /> 3. The amendment creates a more flexible ordinance that allows property owners <br /> the ability to construct larger accessory structures. Structure size will remain <br /> limited by the maximum impervious surface coverage requirement. <br /> All members voted"aye".
