may not be correct. We do have local health and fitness clubs, Community Theater, a <br /> public library and the Trailside Center. <br /> Trails and Scenic Byways—"Other trails" are referred to but existence is not known. <br /> Include in the Action Plan to connect or create trails. <br /> Public Natural Areas—the DNR owns the Fire Tower; the City maintains the parking <br /> area. There are five City Parks that should be listed. <br /> Private Facilities—Tall Timbers Resort no longer exists. The RV Resort is registered <br /> with the Chamber. The last sentence should be removed. <br /> The Planning Commission wondered if recreational land could be purchased with Park <br /> Dedication funds. <br /> c. Natural Resources Action Plan— <br /> Wildlife and Rare Species—some of the species should be removed. Line 35, Jack pine <br /> barrens is incorrect. Red and White pine should be listed instead. This needs to be <br /> accurate. It is bookish and doesn't fit our area. Page 12, line 9, Potlatch is no longer <br /> managing these forests for timber. We need to find out what Potlatch plans to do with <br /> their property within the City. There is an historical significance of Potlatch property for <br /> recreation, etc. It may be in transition to become residential property. <br /> Protecting groundwater was mentioned as a potential resource to protect in this section. <br /> The Tree Farm program was also discussed. They are used to curb development, clean <br /> the air and to hold water/retain moisture. Councilman Nagel will supply information and <br /> potential sites. <br /> Vice-Chair Adams opened the Public Hearing. <br /> APPLICANT: Donald Babinski <br /> Applicant requests to Rezone from Light Industrial to Commercial <br /> Mr. Oleson explained the Staff Report. Mr. Babinski was not present. <br /> Public Comment: None. <br /> Mr. Williams pointed out that the map on the first page of the Staff Report only indicates <br /> one parcel. Staff stated that the parcel to the south should also have been highlighted. <br /> He also stated that Mr. Babinski had been before the Planning Commission a while ago <br /> and asked if that had been for a rezone request. Staff stated it had been for a permit <br /> extension. <br /> Minutes 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> November 19, 2009 <br />
