Council approves interim-use permit for Lakes Area Golf Carts; owner to use adjacent fenced lot
Summary
Chisago City Council approved an interim use permit allowing Lakes Area Golf Carts LLC to conduct minor repairs and to display, store and sell golf carts and low-speed vehicles outdoors along Highway 8, authorizing execution of Resolution 25-05-01 and requiring compliance with staff-recommended conditions.
Chisago City Council on May 27 approved an interim use permit allowing Lakes Area Golf Carts LLC to perform minor indoor repairs and to display, store and sell golf carts and low-speed vehicles outside along Highway 8.
Associate Planner Leah Nelson explained the business activities proposed — outdoor display, sales, repairs, rentals and customizations — and said staff recommended approval with conditions. Sean Johnson, identified in the minutes as owner and president of Lakes Area Golf Carts LLC, confirmed the business would use an adjacent lot for fenced storage and potential future trailer sales. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 1 and recommended approval.
Council member Craig Meyer moved to approve the IUP and Council member Marie Rivers seconded; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. The council authorized city staff and the mayor to execute Resolution 25-05-01. The minutes note that proposed activities include outdoor storage and display to the east of the property; the written record contains two different street-number references for the application (the agenda lists '29800 Habel Lane' while the staff narrative refers to '49800 Habel Lane'); the resolution number in the minutes is 25-05-01 and was authorized by the council.
The council did not record conditions in the minutes beyond the staff recommendation; applicants seeking to operate under the IUP must comply with the conditions and any required permits listed by city staff, and city staff retain authority to enforce applicable zoning and code requirements.
