Motion carried. <br /> APPLICANT: City of Pequot Lakes <br /> Applicant requests an Ordinance Amendment for Industrial Park Subdivision <br /> Overlay District <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. This amendment would reduce costs and <br /> streamline the process,providing an easier process for subdivision. <br /> Public Comment: None. <br /> Public Comment Closed. <br /> When asked,Mr. Marohn stated the Baptist Church would also be contacted to see if they <br /> had interest in subdividing their lots. <br /> Overlay zones keep the code clean, with fewer rules. Anything to make it easier to do <br /> business is a good thing. We've been told there are too many barriers in place making <br /> that difficult. This is simplifying the process, costing less; this is a win-win situation for <br /> everyone. <br /> There was an issue previously with Overlay Zones from the Council. Rather than writing <br /> a separate ordinance, duplicating things,this keeps the ordinance from becoming <br /> massive. This strikes out what is not required in that Industrial Park area. <br /> Council Member Akerson stated that this creates another level of bureaucracy, another <br /> set of rules and more confusion. When Chairman Pederson asked how there could be <br /> more confusion, Mr. Hallan emphasized that we are removing layers with this Overlay <br /> Zone. Chairman Pederson explained that we are making it less complicated. <br /> MINUTES 3 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> July 21, 2011 <br />
