O. Box 279 <br /> Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> RE: Rezone to Forest Management <br /> PIN: 290134100A00009 <br /> Dear Ms. Owens : <br /> Please be advised that on August 1, 2006, the City Council rezoned the above- <br /> captioned parcel to Forest Management, based on the following findings of fact: <br /> 1. The proposed rezoning to Forest Management would be consistent with <br /> the City's Comprehensive Plan which states as policies to protect and <br /> enhance natural resources and open space along with to direct future <br /> development away from significant and/or sensitive natural resources <br /> (page 56). The subject property is located adjacent to Lowell Wildlife <br /> Management Area, managed by the Department of Natural Resources. <br /> 2. The proposed rezoning to Forest Management is consistent with the <br /> Future Land Use Map, which designates this area as a future Forest <br /> Preservation area. <br /> 3. The property currently is undeveloped, and is covered with forest stands <br /> and wetlands. <br /> 4. The proposed rezoning to Forest Management meets the compatibility <br /> requirements for the zone as the surrounding parcels are zoned Forest <br /> Management or Recreation. <br /> 5. The subject property meets the purpose and intent of the Forest <br /> Management zone as would protect the natural environment, preserve an <br /> undeveloped area, and enhance any recreational opportunities available <br /> in the adjacent Wildlife Management Area. <br /> 6. The property meets the minimum lot size requirement of 10 acres for the <br /> Forest Management zone, being more than 22 acres in size. <br />
