Police <br />218-568-8111 <br />Fax 218-568-5647 <br />plpd@pequotlakes-mn.gov <br />January 3, 2007 <br />City of Pequot <br />Lakes <br />4638 County Road 11 <br />Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br />www.pequotlakes-mn.gov <br />James Sherwood and Curtis Lindel <br />29765 State Highway 371 <br />Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br />RE: Rezone to Shoreline Residential and Commercial <br />PIN: 290221400A00009 <br />Dear Mr. Sherwood and Mr. Lindel: <br />City Hall <br />218-568-5222 <br />Fax 218-568-5860 <br />cityhall@pequotlakes-mn.gov <br />Please be advised that on January 2, 2007, the City Council rezoned the above - <br />captioned parcel to Shoreline Residential extending to the eastern boundary of <br />the public right-of-way of Front Street to the north and to Commercial from that <br />point extending east to State Highway 371, based on the following findings of <br />fact: <br />1. The proposed rezoning to Shoreline Residential would be consistent with <br />the City's Comprehensive Plan as the properties are adjacent to shoreline <br />and some of them are residential in character. <br />2. The proposed rezoning to Shoreline Residential is mostly consistent with <br />the Future Land Use Map, which designates the area adjacent to the <br />shore as Shoreline Residential. The Future Land Use Map also <br />designates the off -lake portions of these properties as Rural Residential. <br />3. The proposed rezoning to Shoreline Residential meets the compatibility <br />requirements in that the properties are adjacent to the Water Resource <br />zone; the compatibility requirements state that the zone should extend <br />through the first tier of parcels to a public road or 500 feet from the OHW, <br />whichever is closer to the water body. In this case, the public road, Front <br />Street, is the nearest public road which is roughly 500 feet from the OHW. <br />4. The subject property meets the purpose and intent of the Shoreline <br />Residential district to provide a district for riparian residential development. <br />5. The property meets the minimum lot size requirement of 20,000 square <br />feet for the Shoreline Residential zone, being nearly 10 acres in size, with <br />roughly 3 acres falling within the proposed Shoreline Residential zone. <br />
