6. Rezoning to Urban Residential would not be compatible with the Agriculture zone to the <br /> north or the Forest Management zone to the east and would leave an island of parcels that <br /> were recently rezoned Transition Residential to the south of the properties in question. <br /> 7. The properties were zoned Wooded Residential under the previous ordinance, which did not <br /> have a defined standard. The previous Agricultural zoning had a minimum lot area of 20 <br /> acres and a minimum lot width of 500 feet. The applicant has been under the impression that <br /> the zoning of the property entitled him to one-acre lots. Rezoning to Transition Residential <br /> would provide for an overall density double of what the applicant has stated he feels he is <br /> entitled to, and can therefore not be considered down zoning. <br /> 8. Two of the parcels meet the minimum lot area of five (5) acres for the Transition Residential <br /> zone: parcels 290113200AAC009 and 290113200AAD009. The other three parcels do not <br /> have at least five acres,being less than four acres each. <br /> Parcel Area Width <br /> 290113200AAC009 14.1 Acres -850 ft <br /> 290113200AAD009 12.17 Acres -480 ft <br /> 290113200000889 3.87 Acres -400 ft <br /> 290113200DO0009 2.96 Acres -200 ft <br /> 290113200F00009 2.28 Acres - 163 ft <br /> 9. All of the parcels meet the minimum lot width of 200 feet for the Transition Residential zone. <br /> 10. The areas of all four properties meet the minimum buildable lot area of 20,000 square feet <br /> and the minimum lot width of 50 feet for the Urban Residential zone. <br /> 11. The ownership of the property is the same as when the property is zoned Agriculture, and the <br /> area has not seen any urban development. <br /> 12. The property does have some topographic characteristics that may constrain development. <br /> 13. There is not any urban road development outside of County Road 112. <br /> 14. The property does not have, nor does the property abut, any municipal water or sewer <br /> utilities. <br /> 2. Rezoning from Agricultural to Transition Residential, PIN 290113200E0009, Curt Cogan, <br /> City of Pequot Lakes. <br /> The property is located north of downtown on County Road 112 and is approximately 5.5 acres <br /> in size. The property was previously zoned Agricultural and the proposed zoning for the <br /> property is Transition Residential. Mr. Cogan has indicated that he would like to maintain the <br /> uses that he currently has on the property. <br /> Mr. Cogan has an existing permit for an animal boarding facility, which was permitted on the <br /> previous Agriculture zoning classification. The permit allows for up to 20 kennels, and the <br /> property owner currently has ten(10) kennels on the property. Mr. Cogan also built this property <br /> as a hobby farm and currently has a stable on one side of his pole barn. Presently, there are not <br /> any horses on the property, but Mr. Cogan would like to be rezoned to a classification that would <br /> allow horses. <br /> The Planning Commission is recommending that the property,PIN 290113200E0009,be <br /> rezoned to Transition Residential based on the following findings of fact: <br /> 1. The rezoning to Transition Residential is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and <br /> Future Land Use Map. <br /> 14084 Baxter Drive, Suite 7 <br /> Baxter, MN 56401 <br /> (218) 828-3064 <br /> www.communitygrowth.com <br />
