have the capacity for 420 occupants. This equates to 2.7 people per site, which is less than what the anticipated occupancy would be at any one time. 6. Roadway and Intersection Issues. The applicant has held meetings with the City Roads and Streets Department,the Crow Wing County Engineer's office and Mn/DOT to discuss the project. The City staff has recommended changes to Hurtig Road that the applicant is going to complete. Crow Wing County has also recommended changes and indicated they will provide a memo documenting their requirements for improvements to the intersection. Mn/DOT has not been as clear on what they would like done and have not given any direct guidance on the matter. City Staff has contacted Mn/DOT,but they have still not provided a concrete resolution for moving ahead. Implementation strategies to address these issues are all included as conditions of this report. 7. Parking. The applicant has demonstrated that each site has adequate room for a maximum-sized RV and two cars, one for the owner and one for a visitor. Additional overflow parking is available at the laundry facilities and in the future recreation area. 8. Impervious Coverage. The applicant has proposed a mechanism for self-monitoring and reporting of impervious coverage as the property develops. This was discussed at the last meeting and there seemed to be consensus amongst Commission members that this approach would be acceptable. Details were worked out in a follow-up meeting with the applicant and are included as a recommended condition to the CUP. A number of full sets of plans have been submitted for this project. We have included in our report only copies of those pages referred to specifically as areas of concern that have now been resolved. If any Commission member (or member of the public) would like to see a copy of the complete set of plans, a copy is available at City Hall, at the Community Growth Institute office in Brainerd and at the Widseth Smith Nolting office in Baxter.
