City of Pequot Lakes Dear Sir: This letter is to inform you that the public hearing for the rezoning of your property, PIN: 290111100B00009, will be held at the regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting on Thursday, May 18, 2006. The meeting, held at City Hall, starts at 6:30 p.m. As you may already know, the City of Pequot Lakes recently adopted a new Land Use and Subdivision Ordinance. The City is in the process of rezoning all properties within the City to conform to the new zoning classifications in the Ordinance and to conform to the goals described in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City has proposed to rezone your property from Forestry to Agriculture, as described in the new Ordinance. The purpose and intent of the Agriculture zone is to provide a zoning classification for the preservation of family farms and small-scale agricultural uses and to allow for low density residential development compatible with those uses. Development patterns are characterized as very low-density residential without municipal utility service and with only limited demand for accessibility. Agriculture zoning should be used to preserve rural character. For a rezoning, the Commission holds a hearing to review your rezoning and then make a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council then makes the final decision. The City Staff prepares a Staff Report each month for all of the hearings. If you would like a copy of the report for your hearing, there will be one available at City Hall for you to review one week prior to the meeting or you can read it online at www.communitygr�owth.com/pequot_lakes/. More information about the new zoning classifications and what they mean for you can also be found at City Hall or on line at www.pequotzoning.info.
