A motion was made by Dean Williams, seconded by Bill Habein,to recommend rezoning <br /> these parcels to Recreation,based on the following findings of fact: <br /> 1. The property is currently undeveloped and is owned by the City of Pequot Lakes. <br /> 2. There is little topographic change and only light vegetative coverage is present on <br /> the property. <br /> 3. These properties have frontage on County Highway 17, which could be forested <br /> to provide a green corridor into the City. <br /> 4. The lots provide public open space in the area. <br /> 5. Sewer and water are not currently available, but the properties are located within <br /> the project utility service area. <br /> 6. As these properties are owned by the City, and potentially could be used for <br /> recreation purposes, the properties could be best zoned to Recreation (R) to <br /> preserve the property as public open space. <br /> 7. Rezoning to Recreation would be compatible with the zoning on the surrounding <br /> properties as the Recreation zone is compatible with and can be established <br /> adjacent to every other zoning classification. <br /> 8. While the Future Land Use map does not specifically designate these properties <br /> for future Recreation uses, rezoning to Recreation would still be consistent with <br /> the spirit and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> All members voted"aye". Motion carried. <br /> ADDITIONS OR DELETIONS TO AGENDA: <br /> Add: <br /> 6. e. Mark Schoeb Conditional Use Permit Extension. <br /> 6. f. Over the Counter Permits. <br /> Delete: <br /> 7. a. Extractive Use Overlay District. <br /> 7. b. Wetland Permitting. <br /> Mr. Williams deleted the two items under Old Business. The two maps included with the <br /> Extractive Use Overlay District are same as last month. The Commission had asked that <br /> the buffer from a residence be increased to one-half mile. He would also like to see the <br /> County's Ordinance. <br /> Wetland permitting had been briefly discussed last month. Mr. Williams would like Staff <br /> to discuss this with Soil and Water,consider Staff commitment to take on, and possible <br /> fees that could be charged. There was no new information included in this Staff Report. <br /> OPEN FORUM: None <br /> Planning Commission 5 <br /> June 15,2006 <br />
