The <br /> purpose of the public hearing was to consider approval of the "Field of Dreams" plat. <br /> Scott Pederson of Tall Timbers campground referred to the November 13, 1998 letter from <br /> Patricia D. Lundy, Assistant Director of the Municipal Board. The letter stated "The <br /> representatives of the developer and the City stated that they would be working with the <br /> adjacent property owners and the Town to try to address their concerns as the <br /> development plans proceed." Pederson stated that the developer has not been in touch <br /> with him to discuss the plat. He was concerned that the development would not preserve <br /> the "rural character" of the area. <br /> Also present were Mr. & Mrs. Walt Simonson, who voiced concern about the school bus <br /> routes. This concern had been previously addressed, and the exits/entrances of the plat <br /> had been approved by the County Engineer. <br /> Only two Outlots are within 1,000 ft. of Sibley Lake. These two outlots will be dedicated to <br /> the City of Pequot Lakes for development of a public park. <br /> There was discussion regarding the planting of trees on the individual lots, as well as <br /> along a buffer strip on County Road #17. <br /> MOTION BY T.
