was directed to contact the County Highway Department regarding their comments for a turn lane and bypass lane. A motion was made by Dean Williams, seconded by Tom Adams, to recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit,based on the following findings of fact: 4 On the Underlying Zoning 1. Because this is a PUD, it is not subject to the normal lot size and density requirements of the SC zone. The proposal, however, must meet all setback requirements for the zone. 2. Dwellings of this size are allowed in the SC zoning district. 3. The structures in the proposed development meet all side yard, road, and lake setbacks. 4. A commercial planned unit development is a conditional use in the SC zone. 5. The proposed development would have an overall impervious coverage of 13.7%, which is within the Ordinance limit of 25% for the SC zone. 4 On the CUP Evaluation 1. The proposed development is an appropriate use in the SC zone as residential and commercial PUDs are listed as conditional uses in this zoning district. 2. The proposed development does not conflict with the City of Pequot Lakes Land Use Plan, one of the goals of which is to maintain private resorts and facilities for public recreational use (pg. 65). 3. The proposed use of residential structures, with appropriate conditions, is compatible with the existing neighborhood as many of the surrounding properties are already platted and many have been developed with year-round and seasonal residential housing. The PUD will continue to be used as a resort, which is C consistent with the existing land use. 4. The residential structures of the proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, safety, welfare, decency, order, comfort, convenience, appearance, or prosperity of the City. 5. It is unlikely that the proposed use would be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. 6. The proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding properties as the surrounding properties have already been platted and many properties have been developed already. 7. No public facility improvements are proposed for this site, therefore the proposed development is unlikely to be injurious to the economic welfare of the community. 8. The property currently accesses CSAH 17 and the proposed development would likely decrease traffic as the number of units would be reduced from what exists on site. 9. The proposed use will provide sufficient off-street parking for each dwelling as each unit will have an attached garage large enough for two cars. 10. The proposed development is unlikely to create any additional odors, fumes, dust, vibrations, or other similar nuisance, although there will be brief periods of such nuisances during the construction process.
