Opened 4 a. A large group of people in attendance for this part of the meeting. Greg Weyers explained what is happening and going on with the Pine Haven RV Park conditional use permit. There is a request for a conditional use permit for a RV park (seasonal campground) on property that is zoned Forestry. Property that is zoned Forestry can have a campground on it with a conditional use permit. The main concern is the definition of temporary campsite or campsite in general.
There was much discussion from both the public and the committee members on camping, property use, public access to lakes in the area by the campers, traffic hazards, use of land, proper use of local area, and all other matters regarding campers and camping. Bruce Mommaerts spoke and the impact on the business from the campers and how it would impact the town of Lakewood.
Letters against allowing the Park were presented; a letter from a Land Use Specialist was presented. A petition in favor of allowing the Park was presented. Many; of these issues were discussed before.
Mr. Paul said that he could revise the plan to conform to the requirements, if needed to be done, so that he would be allowed constructing the RV Park as per the county requirements.
This issue has taken up 3 months of meeting and time of this committee and is still not yet resolved. It is recommended that the Town of Lakewood get a legal opinion on the definition of campground, temporary camping, campsites, and any other item/items regarding this subject so this can be resolved. A motion to that recommendation by Ted Schuurmans and second by Scott VanLaanen and the motion was carried.
