Planning commission recommends approval of Midwest Edition preliminary plat at US Highway 10 West
Summary
The Detroit Lakes Planning Commission recommended approval of a two‑lot commercial preliminary plat for Midwest Edition at 1255 US Highway 10 West, subject to required utility and stormwater easements, Pelican River Watershed District approval and a city land‑disturbance permit prior to building permits.
The Detroit Lakes Planning Commission on a voice vote recommended approval of a two‑lot preliminary plat for Midwest Edition at 1255 US Highway 10 West, with staff‑recommended conditions for utility and stormwater easements and required permits.
In a staff presentation, Larry, the city planner, said the plat is a two‑lot commercial subdivision and recommended approval “subject to the owner providing any utility easements required,” providing stormwater easements as designated by the city engineer, obtaining any required Pelican River Watershed District permit and securing a land disturbance permit before building permits are issued. Geiger of Meadowland Surveying spoke for the applicant, noting that private drive and utility easements will be recorded after the plat and that the buyer will have access on the road; Steve Daggett of Midwest Bank was present.
Local business representative Leo Ness of Newman Signs asked about drainage; staff replied that an engineered stormwater management plan will be prepared for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the city and the Pelican River Watershed District before development proceeds. Commissioners confirmed the action is platting only and does not change zoning.
The commission voted to forward the recommendation to the community development committee; the commission’s recommendation moves next to the community development committee and then to the city council on the dates provided by staff.
