MINUTES PEQUOT LAKES PLANNING COMMISSION SPECIAL MEETING June 27, 2013 PRESENT: Deb Brown, Mark Hallan, James Oraskovich and Cheri Seils. ABSENT: Scott Snyder and Wesley Wilson. CITY PLANNER: Justin Burslie, Community Growth Institute ZONING ADMINISTRATOR: Dawn Bittner COUNCIL LIAISON: None. The meeting was called to order by Chair Seils at 7:01 p.m. APPLICANT: Patricia Dittes Applicant requests a Metes and Bounds Subdivision Mr. Burslie explained the Staff Report. Applicant was present, as well as Cindy Hidde, Stonemark Land Surveying. Mr. Burslie explained the condition included in the Staff Report proposes an easement on Tract A for the property owner of Tract B for access. The dashed line on the survey presumably indicates a new driveway for access to Tract B. Cindy Hidde stated that the property owner plans to construct the new driveway and add a new garage door for access to the garage; there is no need for the easement. Mr. Burslie concurred. Planning Commission Member Hallan questioned Finding of Fact Number 8, which states "The proposed side lot lines are at right angles to the existing road line and the property line of the adjacent property." He stated the side lot lines are not at right angles to the roadways. He inquired as to the intent and further stated it should be reworded or struck. Mr. Burslie pointed out Section 17-9.4 which lists the Design Layout Standards. In this situation the lake is not at a right angle and what they are proposing is not un-orderly. Planning Commission Member Hallan suggested rewording Finding of Fact Number 8 to state: The proposed side lot lines are radial to the lakeshore and parallel to the existing property line of the adjacent property.
