proverbial restoration of the beach was included,but a picnic area was approved for that <br /> area. How can the picnic area be re-vegetated? The two clash with one another. <br /> Chair Seils stated the conditions were approved whether they were discussed at length <br /> or not. Mr. Steffens requested direction from the Planning Commission. How do you <br /> re-vegetate a beach where a picnic area will be? He did everything he was told do, <br /> installing the log, seeding the area. There is money sitting in a City account as a deposit <br /> that this would be resolved. <br /> Mr. Burslie stated the City needs to receive the submittals and a letter from the DNR <br /> that they approve the restoration taking place. Staff was directed to get the Committee <br /> to meet onsite early next week. <br /> Ann Beaver, President of the Cullen Lakes Association, stated the only condition the <br /> CLA is concerned about is getting the mooring locations out of the bulrushes. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Byrne Accessory Structure Update — <br /> Zoning Administrator Bittner informed the Planning Commission that the timeline of <br /> events was recently forwarded to the City Attorney. Staff was informed that there were <br /> additional construction materials on site. Staff was directed to make a site visit. <br /> Dynamic Display Ordinance Amendment — <br /> Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Planning Commission Member Habein stated <br /> the City Council could have allowed the Planning Commission to make this change <br /> legally if the Comprehensive Plan was changed. Mr. Burslie stated the Comprehensive <br /> Plan is not legally binding; it is a guide. Council Member Akerson stated it is a dynamic <br /> document and should be changing to suit the town. He further stated if there is a need <br /> to update the Comprehensive Plan we need to get at it. <br /> Curt Johnson, School Board Member, arrived for this discussion at 6:0o pm and was <br /> not able to be present at the time for this discussion. He was allowed to make his <br /> comments at that time and are included here. He stated that he strongly supports the <br /> use of digital signs. When Planning Commission Member Oraskovich stated a School <br /> sign would be off site, Mr.Johnson stated it could be a joint collaboration with City, <br /> promoting current events. Mr. Burslie explained there are two hurdles for the School — <br /> digital signs and offsite signs. Mr.Johnson stated the School will be here for the next 50 <br /> years; could the School be allowed an offsite sign through a Conditional Use Permit? <br /> Minutes 4 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 21, 2014 <br />
