5. Conditional Use Permit for the Planned Unit Development of Tall Timbers, Scott <br /> Pederson. The Pederson property is located on the north shore of Sibley Lake on CSAH 17 and <br /> is currently zoned Shoreline Commercial. The property is about 15.3 acres in size and currently <br /> contains provisions for seasonal camping uses along with two existing dwelling units. <br /> The applicant is proposing to build thirteen new rental units and maintain two owner-occupied <br /> units. The applicant has proposed a clustered septic system to serve the development, in <br /> addition to a walking/hiking trail across the property.A conditional use permit application for a <br /> Planned Unit Development (PUD) establishes the concept and the mechanisms for how the <br /> development will operate in the future. <br /> The Planning Commission has reviewed this application and is recommending approval of the <br /> conditional use permit for a planned unit development based on the following findings of fact: <br /> On the Underlying Zoning <br /> 1. Because this is a PUD, it is not subject to the normal lot size and density requirements of the <br /> SC zone. The proposal, however, must meet all setback requirements for the zone. <br /> 2. Dwellings of this size are allowed in the SC zoning district. <br /> 3. The structures in the proposed development meet all side yard, road, and lake setbacks. <br /> 4. A commercial planned unit development is a conditional use in the SC zone. <br /> 5. The proposed development would have an overall impervious coverage of 13.7%, which is <br /> within the Ordinance limit of 25%for the SC zone. <br /> + On the CUP Evaluation <br /> 1. The proposed development is an appropriate use in the SC zone as residential and <br /> �. commercial PUDs are listed as conditional uses in this zoning district. <br /> 2. The proposed development does not conflict with the City of Pequot Lakes Land Use Plan, <br /> one of the goals of which is to maintain private resorts and facilities for public recreational <br /> use(pg. 65). <br /> 3. The proposed use of residential structures, with appropriate conditions, is compatible with <br /> the existing neighborhood as many of the surrounding properties are already platted and <br /> many have been developed with year-round and seasonal residential housing. The PUD will <br /> continue to be used as a resort,which is consistent with the existing land use. <br /> 4. The residential structures of the proposed use will not be injurious to the public health, <br /> safety,welfare,decency, order, comfort, convenience,appearance,or prosperity of the City. <br /> 5. It is unlikely that the proposed use would be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other <br /> property in the immediate vicinity. <br /> 6. The proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of <br /> surrounding properties as the surrounding properties have already been platted and many <br /> properties have been developed already. <br /> 7. No public facility improvements are proposed for this site, therefore the proposed <br /> development is unlikely to be injurious to the economic welfare of the community. <br /> 8. The property currently accesses CSAH 17 and the proposed development would likely <br /> decrease traffic as the number of units would be reduced from what exists on site. <br /> 9. The proposed use will provide sufficient off-street parking for each dwelling as each unit will <br /> have an attached garage large enough for two cars. <br /> 10. The proposed development is unlikely to create any additional odors, fumes, dust, <br /> vibrations, or other similar nuisance, although there will be brief periods of such nuisances <br /> during the construction process. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56425 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
