Summary
Commissioners approved a rural‑residential downzoning for a 34‑acre parcel, a residential map amendment for a 40‑acre parcel and a two‑lot preliminary plat, while a nearby commercial rezoning was denied after public opposition.
At the Dec. 30 meeting the Crow Wing County Board approved multiple planning items presented by land services staff.
The board voted to amend the land‑use map for parcel 7120566 in Oak Lake Township from rural residential 5 to rural residential 2.5 (approximately 34 acres) after the planning commission unanimously recommended approval. Commissioner Lee moved to support the staff recommendation and the motion passed by roll call.
Separately, the board adopted a map amendment for parcel 90200500 in Saint Mathias Township to change its designation from agricultural/forestry (35‑acre minimum) to rural residential 10 (about 40 acres). The planning commission recommended approval and the motion passed by roll call.
The board also approved the preliminary plat of Turtle Bay (parcel 77010540), a conventional two‑lot plat on roughly 5.5 acres at Adnan Lake. Mission Township has approved the plat and staff said it meets the county’s ordinance requirements for lot size and septic suitability.
Board action on these items was routine in form: staff presented the planning commission findings and moved motions were seconded; roll‑call votes recorded ayes and the measures passed. The approvals followed the planning commission recommendations; where townships provided comment, staff noted those positions in the packet.
