Mr. Burslie stated the City would not be moving the Downtown Mixed Use Zone in the <br /> direction we want it to go. This use is not allowed by ordinance. <br /> Mr. Hartwig stated he has another business in the Industrial Park. Mr. Burslie stated <br /> less screening would be required in the Industrial Park. Bittner reminded the Planning <br /> Commission that Exterior Storage is an Accessory Use in the Light Industrial Zone. <br /> Mr. Hartwig stated during the summer there would only be a couple dumpsters sitting <br /> around. The truck would leave once a day to drop an empty one at a location, pick up <br /> that full one to take to dump, and move that one to the next spot. He was not aware the <br /> use was not allowed at the time he purchased the property. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated the Industrial Park is a viable place for <br /> dumpsters. <br /> Mr. Hartwig stated he may not have space in the Industrial Park once all of his vehicles <br /> and equipment is there for the concrete business. It may be difficult to maneuver the <br /> trucks. There may be a lot of excavating to create needed space. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated another option would be to rezone the property,but he is unsure what <br /> the appropriate zone would be. <br /> Mr. Hartwig stated the auto repair would be primarily for his own vehicles; he has 14 <br /> trucks and equipment. There may be other service done, such as Superior Mechanicals <br /> fleet,but he doesn't see it as a drive-up repair shop again. <br /> When asked, Mr. Hartwig stated it will be just construction demolition, no garbage. The <br /> dumpsters are returned fairly clean, with maybe some saw dust. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated Mr. Hartwig is not proposing an auto <br /> repair business. It was an existing business he plans to use for his own company. The <br /> previous use was vehicle maintenance. <br /> Mr. Hartwig stated the homeowner to the north is probably pleased the oil barrels and <br /> junk have been removed. <br /> The Planning Commission advised Mr. Hartwig to come back next month with a plan of <br /> how many dumpsters could fit on the Industrial Park lot and how many may need to be <br /> placed at this location. Mr. Hartwig stated this is still in the planning stages; the <br /> dumpsters may be moved to Longville. If the dumpsters are going to remain in Pequot <br /> Lakes he will come back with a plan. <br /> MINUTES 11 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> February 20, 2014 <br />
