PEQUOT LAKES PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> REGULAR MEETING <br /> FEBRUARY 21,2008 <br /> PRESENT: Bill Habein, Mark Hallan, Scott Pederson, Dean Williams, Tom Woog, <br /> Mary Peterson and John Derksen. ABSENT: Tom Adams. <br /> CITY PLANNER: Charles Marohn, PE. <br /> ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Dawn Bittner. <br /> COUNCIL LIAISONS: Craig Nagel and Tom Ryan. <br /> The meeting was called to order by Chairman Woog at 6:30 p.m. <br /> APPLICANT: Rob Van Valkenburg <br /> Applicant requests a Conditional Use Permit to build and sell utility buildings. <br /> Chairman Woog opened the public hearing. Mr. Van Valkenburg was in attendance. <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. Mr. Marohn also pointed out two items that had <br /> been brought to his attention that were not part of the original CUP but contained in <br /> advertisements: <br /> 1. Year-round use as one building is heated; and <br /> 2. Additional sites, using the perimeter of the buildings for additional spaces. <br /> Mr. Van Valkenburg stated that he had received one of the notices that were mailed to the <br /> neighbors which stated he planned to manufacture storage buildings. He thought <br /> "manufacture" suggested that this would be a big project when they are only constructing <br /> a few storage buildings. The Bank Summary he shared with the Planning Commission <br /> during his original CUP mentioned the winterizing of boats and construction and sales of <br /> the playhouses/storage buildings. The boat winterizing only employs one person for a <br /> short time and the construction of the storage buildings would provide year round <br /> employment. He plans to use part of the third building that is heated. The units are more <br /> playhouses than either storage or utility buildings. He plans to construct maybe one per <br /> week with 8 to 10 units displayed for sale outside. Parking during the busiest weekends <br /> during the summer had approximately 50 cars per weekend. The sports show used <br /> substantially more parking than the Crafters Mall. <br /> Mr. Van Valkenburg further stated that the third building is for the wood shop. There is <br /> one employee now with only local sales anticipated. There would be outside storage of 8 <br /> to 10 units with no inside storage of units. <br /> Minutes 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> February 21, 2008 <br />
