beach needs to get fixed and put together correctly and needs to be growing or we <br /> shouldn't move forward. <br /> Chad Connor stated that we have talked about the violation in the past. The violation and <br /> restoration plan was vague. Mr. Steffens put seed in. The grass is coming up and some <br /> things are starting to die off. Half of the area is green and the other half has died. The <br /> prior contention was the RV's along this area. The electric hookups are still there. We <br /> have been developing a shoreline management plan and docking with the DNR. On <br /> Monday we contracted with a landscape architect to develop this plan. Trees were not <br /> included in the original agreement. <br /> Mr. Marohn stated the restoration would need to be reviewed by the Planning <br /> Commission. It would not come off the violation list until then. <br /> Mr. Connor stated that the vegetative management plan is for the entire resort, including <br /> this area. Are there any timelines and standards? There was not that level of specificity. <br /> This area is designated as a natural area. The public hearing will be held at the Sept. 2 <br /> Council meeting. All neighbors will be notified <br /> A motion was made by Dean Williams, seconded by Mark Hallan,to recommend the <br /> City Council approve the Final Plat, based on the following Findings of Fact: <br /> 1. The City Engineer has reviewed the erosion control plan. The erosion control plan <br /> is regulated through a State General Permit and there are no City requirements <br /> that would usurp these State requirements. The Engineer has not stated any <br /> concerns. <br /> 2. The City Engineer has reviewed the stormwater management plan. The <br /> stormwater management facilities are not going to be constructed or maintained <br /> by the City. The Engineer stated the stormwater management plan does direct <br /> runoff from their property into infiltration basins greatly minimizing, if not <br /> eliminating in many cases, any runoff that may leave their property or get directly <br /> into the lake and it is to his satisfaction. <br /> 3. The City Attorney has reviewed the rental contract and association contracts. Mr. <br /> Sandelin has stated the documents establishing the shared villas, garage <br /> association, and the amended declaration to the initial Wilderness Resort Villas <br /> declaration meet the requirements of Minnesota law and the City code. He has <br /> provided comments, including the following recommendations and/or concerns: <br /> a. Any conditions of approval for the plat should be incorporated by reference <br /> into the developer documents. <br /> b. There could be more specific references in the documents to fulfill the <br /> requirement that common areas, open space, shore impact zone and bluff <br /> zones are maintained. <br /> c. Any amendment to an existing declaration should refer to the recorded <br /> declaration document number. <br /> 4. The applicant has submitted vacation drawings and legal descriptions of the area <br /> of High Pine Street and City parcel to be vacated by the City to clear up the <br /> MINUTES 2 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> August 21, 2008 <br />
