There was no public comment. Mr. Habein <br /> stated that maybe Building Height should be raised to 35 feet and leave out Accessory <br /> Equipment Structure Height. Mr. Williams agreed, but suggested the definition be <br /> included in Section 3, Definitions,not Section 5.13, and Structure Height could be <br /> increased to 35 feet. If additional height is needed, a Conditional Use Permit could be <br /> applied for, not a Variance as there would be no hardship. The Planning Commission <br /> wondered where the 25 foot height limit originated. The Planning Commission was <br /> reminded that this public hearing is not to change the building height, only accessory <br /> structure height. <br /> The following needs to be considered: fire safety, visual impacts, adding floors(utility <br /> concerns), and accessory structure being an open air facility. Performance standards <br /> could be added through a CUP. Staff was directed to consider the 35-foot height limit <br /> and answer the items to be considered. <br /> A motion was made by Tom Adams, seconded by Bill Habein,to table this matter. All <br /> members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO THE AGENDA: <br /> New Business: <br /> 6. d. Industrial Park Proposal—Driveway discussion. <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission 1 <br /> Minutes <br /> October 18, 2007 <br />
