STAFF REPORT <br /> Item: Crafter's Mall,Trimming of Trees and Outside Storage <br /> Agenda Item:7(c) <br /> Background: Staff has been contacted by the owners of the Crafter's Mall to see if they could <br /> trim trees that lie within the Mn/DOT right-of-way. Mn/DOT has approved the trimming of the <br /> trees. <br /> We asked representatives of the Crafter's Mall to wait on the clearing so that it could be <br /> reviewed by the Planning Commission. We expressed our concern that significant trimming, <br /> even on Mn/DOT right-of-way, could put them out of compliance with the first condition of <br /> their CUP,which states: <br /> 1. The applicant shall maintain existing vegetation along the properties boundaries.Pursuant <br /> to Section 5.10,Subdivision 4D, the applicant shall replace or supplement vegetation along the <br /> eastern property line (adjacent to the Paul Bunyan Trail) so as to provide at least 50% <br /> screening of the property. Screening improvements shall be made prior to the opening of the <br /> business. <br /> Crafter'sMall representatives will be present at the meeting to present their proposal and answer <br /> any questions the Commission may have. <br /> A <br /> City of Pequot Lakes Staff Report <br /> April 19,2007 5-1 <br />
