A motion by Greg Weyers to revisit the original Condition Use Permit of Barbier/ Paul for a RV Park, seconded by Ted Schuurmans and the motion was passed.
Barbier/Paul Lawyer was introduced and a discussion regarding Ted Schuurmans involvement with the Wheeler Lake Association as to his ability to being partial to the issue of the RV Park. It was stated the Ted was President, but he stated that he was a board member. Barbier/Paul Lawyer then questioned if Ted could be impartial and should not sit on the Plan Commission due to his association as a board member of the Wheeler Lake Association. James Morrison then answered in defense of Ted Schuurmans ability to serve on the Commission regarding this issue. Scott VanLaanen then questioned what position did Ted Schuurmans hold on the Wheeler Lake Association and was told that he was a Board member and asked if Ted could make an impartial decision on the issue and Ted stated that he could.
Greg Weyers explained what the issue of discussion was about regarding the RV Park.
Lee Spletter pointed out that the RV Park does not fit into the Comprehensive Plan for the Town of Lakewood or does the Rezone from Forestry to Parks.
Barbier/Paul�s Lawyer then stated that the issue was not a rezone but a Conditional Use Permit and explained the definitions regarding the Conditional Use Permit in the County Zoning Regulations. He then how they would like to work with the Town of Lakewood and the Plan Commission for the requested Conditional Use Permit. He then explained the park use, layout, site maps, and what the Park would be like. He had a Park Informational sheet and drawing that was passed out.
Question from Joan Grady about the traffic in and out of the Park and what it would be like on Highway F if it was approve, with some concern about traffic congestion and highway F�s condition and curves.
Question from one attendant as to the amount of residents that would be present in the Park and was answered as unknown that they don�t know due to the type of residents and could possibly at 70% occupancy.
It was explained that the conditions of the Conditional Use Permit would stay with the permit and would stay with the property if it was sold at some time in the future.
Question regarding taxes, what does this do to the tax rate (are the units taxed by the Town) does it increase the value of the town, and what is the drain on the local taxes and use of services in the town?
Most of this question could not be answered at this time.
Barbier/Paul�s Lawyer asked to explain conditions that they would like to be added to the Conditional Use Permit to help solve some of the possible problems. (They had a list of these, but we did not receive a copy of them.) There were many that could also be added to follow Administrative Code, State Code and County and local Codes.
Ted Schuurmans stated that the County Zoning states that campgrounds are not allowed in Forestry, only Temporary Camping, and he also questioned the definition of what temporary camping was.
There was a question about what the lot sizes were going to be and if they were up to the Zoning Code.
Joan White presented a letter from Lawyer Gerardo Gonzalez explaining the definitions of temporary camping and other item on this issue. DNR definitions are not the same as the County definitions, but the County establishes the legal definitions and this is what we should consider in making a decision.
James Morrison explained much of the process that we should go thru and explained that in his opinion that this is not a true definition of Temporary Camping.
Greg Weyers asked for a motion on the Conditional Use Permit for Pine Haven RV Park. After many wording of the motion it was asked of James Morrison as to how it should be worded and his suggestion was that a Conditional Use Permit application for Pine Haven RV Park be granted subject to such conditions as are adopted by the Plan Commission at a special meeting called for that purpose on October 25, 2005 at 6:00PM at the Lakewood Town Hall.
