Mr. Williams stated that we need to establish what will be regulated. <br /> Staff was directed to bring back some examples. <br /> The Downtown Retail Committee would be a good group to approach with this. <br /> Staff was also directed to bring back some potential ordinance amendments for the <br /> current ordinance. <br /> b. Comprehensive Plan Schedule: <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. This is included in the 2009 Budget. We could <br /> save some money and time if we could piggy back these meetings on Planning <br /> Commission meeting nights. Some of the workshops may have to be scheduled at other <br /> times to allow sufficient time for residents to attend and make comments. <br /> Mr. Woog stated he would like to do these meetings similar to the Highway 371 <br /> discussion group on our meeting night,prior to our regular meeting, set a specific amount <br /> of time and then move on to the regular meeting. It was the consensus of the Planning <br /> Commission to do this. If we have a full agenda, we could have the Comp Plan meeting <br /> at another time. <br /> `., Mr. Habein asked if Mr. Marohn had considered doing a community planning charrette. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated he scheduled workshops which would be held from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 <br /> p.m. with City Staff monitoring the sessions which could save money. Articles would be <br /> published in the paper and post cards mailed out for first workshop. <br /> Mr. Woog asked if it would be possible to include information on the Comp Plan Review <br /> in the local church bulletins. It was the consensus of the Planning Commission that <br /> churches are a part of the community and should be approached to include this <br /> information. <br /> Mr. Williams stated that in developing a Comprehensive Plan a main thoroughfare must <br /> be designated. Mr. Marohn stated the update will reflect that and added that the highway <br /> will not be debated as part of this review. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> a. Shoreland Conservation Design (Alt. Standards): <br /> Mr. Marohn explained the Staff Report. The following portions were discussed: <br /> Mr. Williams,page 17, C: Minimum Structure Setbacks: He wanted to verify that the <br /> setbacks are increased, further back from the OHW. This may not be an incentive to go <br /> this route. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated that the DNR is suggesting increasing the setbacks. <br /> Minutes 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> December 11, 2008 <br />
