MINUTES <br /> `-- PEQUOT LAKES PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> REGULAR MEETING <br /> JUNE 17,2010 <br /> PRESENT: Tom Adams, John Derksen, Bill Habein, Scott Pederson and Tom Woog. <br /> ABSENT: Deb Brown, Mark Hallan and Cheri Seils. <br /> CITY PLANNER: Charles L. Marohn, Jr., PE, AICP <br /> ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Dawn Bittner <br /> COUNCIL LIAISONS: Craig Nagel. <br /> COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE DISCUSSION: <br /> Economic Development Section: <br /> Growth at all costs was discussed. A statement should be included that states we <br /> welcome and partner with businesses and have ordinances in place that strengthen and <br /> build a healthy local economic environment. We have the framework for business and <br /> should promote the town as well as businesses. <br /> \., There are different ways of measuring growth. Our growth has been consistent. The way <br /> we measure success is an increased habitation of our existing commercial properties and <br /> increased intensity in use of our commercial space. We have overbuilt the amount of <br /> commercial property as opposed to not under building it. <br /> We need to add a statement acknowledging that Pequot Lakes has made positive steps in <br /> the past 18 months. What is Pequot Lakes doing to make this happen and how can we <br /> continue when the trend locally is the opposite? Cathy Malecha has worked to bring <br /> businesses to town which is something the Chamber should be doing. We need more <br /> Cathy Malecha's and fewer negative speakers for Pequot Lakes. Our community <br /> approach needs to be more positive. <br /> Near the Current Trends add a separate discussion on commercial real estate trends and <br /> raise the idea how commercial real estate has been over built or over committed or that <br /> we are not lacking in developable commercial properties. <br /> Current Trends: The third sentence states that rapid growth has come to an end. <br /> Recently Pequot Lakes has had economic growth but not in the past 5 years. We have <br /> had some good things happen despite the economic environment. We acknowledge some <br /> of the successes or growth despite the times but we realize we need to continue the path <br /> to infill the gaps we have to be sustainable. <br /> `-' MINUTES 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> June 17, 2010 <br />
