With the downturn in the economy,the PCA is allowing them to phase the system in rather than building it all at once. They are able to monitor flows and adjust the rest of the system as dictated and as units are added. The flows are coming in lower with other resorts and there is no need to build large treatment fields. Mr. Miller further stated the first phase of the sewer system will be built next year; the amenities building, etc. needs to be hooked into that system. The next phase of construction will be Units 23 —34 and 1 —5. The grading, erosion control and stormwater plans should be complete next week and will be submitted for next month and to Tim Houle for his comments. The draft,revised Association Documents will be submitted to City Attorney Sandelin and for review next month. The Final Plat is almost complete. The sewage treatment system should be finished in 2 weeks with numerous meetings with the PCA; Tim Houle will do minimal review of that for final approval from the PCA. The City will receive notification of the PCA approval. The vegetative enhancement plan should be complete in a few weeks with just minor items left to complete. They are pretty much on schedule to keep the process rolling and to complete this year. They plan to file the Final Plat with the garage plat as well. OLD BUSINESS: None. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: A motion was made by Bill Habein, seconded by Mark Hallan, to approve the September 16, 2010 Minutes, as read. All members voted"aye". Motion carried. ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT: Bittner pointed out the 5 permits issued and the 14 letters sent. The following Potential Violations/Enforcement Actions were discussed: 1. Dale Olson: Mayor Adams stated the East Twin Lake Association is outraged that he gets to keep part of the retaining wall. He constructed the entire wall without a permit. The Association Newsletter always reminds property owners to contact City Hall and obtain a permit prior to any work being done. All he has to do is pay a fine and he gets to keep some of it. The sand area just appeared and keeps growing. Mr. Marohn stated he went out there last year to meet with Mr. Olson and thought part of the wall had been there. Staff informed Mr. Marohn that only pavers had been along the top of the bank. Mr. Marohn stated it is not too late; if the Planning Commission is not satisfied we can have more removed. The Planning Commission would like Staff to meet with Mr. Olson, compare what is there today to pictures from last summer and to resolve this matter to the ETL Association's satisfaction. 2. Lloyd Wass— Staff is waiting for a response from Mr. Wass. MINUTES 7 Pequot Lakes Planning Commission October 21, 2010
