Mr. Burslie stated he would like to add Findings of Fact Number 13 which should <br /> state: The proposed expansion requires a Conditional Use Permit as set forth in <br /> the original Conditional Use Permit issued by Crow Wing County in 2000. <br /> The applicant had nothing further to add. <br /> Planning Commission Member Oraskovich stated the application calls for <br /> blacktopping the existing gravel road. He asked if the roadway could be moved to <br /> the south to the top of the hill. Planning Commission Member Snyder asked if <br /> there was a safety concern where it now enters County Road 107. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that it is a County road and needs <br /> to be addressed by the County. Mr. Fossum stated that there will not be many <br /> more trips per day,just staff and visitors. There would be no additional <br /> deliveries. The bituminous would take care of the washout problem. Mr. Hallan <br /> further stated that the County approved the original Conditional Use Permit with <br /> the roadway in its present location. <br /> Planning Commission Member Hallan stated that the County has dealt with <br /> major washouts over the years, but whoever does the final site design,to have <br /> them run the stormwater into the ditch with proper vegetation to handle the <br /> stormwater. <br /> Mr. Burshe stated that the Staff Report does not request the paving to be <br /> completed. Planning Commission Member Hallan stated the paving needs to be <br /> part of this construction. Mr. Revoir stated that they will tar to the new building <br /> as part of this construction, phasing the remainder of the existing roadway and <br /> parking areas. <br /> Public comment: None. <br /> A motion was made by Planning Commission Member Snyder, seconded by <br /> Planning Commission Member Wilson,to approve the Conditional Use Permit, <br /> based on the following thirteen Findings of Fact: <br /> 1. The proposed development, with conditions, is an appropriate conditional <br /> use in the Rural Residential zone. <br /> 2. The proposed use conforms to the Comprehensive Plan as the proposed <br /> use maintains the rural character of the property. The subject property is <br /> currently used for similar purposes and expanding the existing use would <br /> not conflict with the future plans for the area. The Future Land Use map <br /> identifies the subject property as Rural Residential. <br /> 3. The neighborhood surrounding the subject property consists of rural <br /> residential properties. The proposed use, with conditions, is compatible <br /> with the surrounding neighborhood. <br /> MINUTES 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> April 18, 2013 <br />
