Industrial Park Proposal—Driveway Discussion: <br /> Staff explained that a proposed business in the Industrial Park had encountered difficulty <br /> meeting the required 30-foot side yard setbacks with their driveways. The side yard <br /> setback for parking is 10 feet. The original intent may have been to have the side yard <br /> setback at 10 feet. A buffer should remain between the lots. <br /> Staff was directed to initiate an Ordinance Amendment as an oversight. "Driveway" <br /> could be added to the parking setback. Staff was directed to publish this as an Ordinance <br /> Amendment at the November meeting. <br /> OLD BUSINESS: <br /> Fence Performance Standards: <br /> Mr. Schmidt explained the Staff Report. Mr. Adams suggested 36 inch height all the way <br /> back in the Shoreline Residential zone. Swimming pools need 42 or 48 inch fences. A <br /> survey for a fence could range anywhere from$700 to $1,500. Staff was directed to see <br /> if there are any other zones along the lakes beside Shoreline Residential and Shoreline <br /> Commercial, such as Urban Residential or Transition Residential. <br /> Staff was directed to schedule this for a public hearing at the November meeting. <br /> Additions are to be made to Shoreline Residential only. <br /> ***Mr. Woog stated he would like to make public acknowledgement that the 2007 Lake- <br /> Friendly Development Award has been awarded to Scott Pederson of Nordenstua on <br /> Sibley, a Pequot Lakes development. <br /> Mr. Adams suggested placing a moratorium on development along the alternate route. <br /> Mr. Schmidt explained how a moratorium worked. Mr. Woog suggested asking the Sub- <br /> committee at their next meeting. <br /> APPROVAL OF MINUTES: <br /> Page 7, change bypass to alternate route.
