The Cass County Planning Commission approved a conditional-use permit (CUP) for Chris Doberstein on Jan. 12, 2026, allowing operation of two retail stores on a 1.98-acre Shoreland Residential parcel at 40 State 6 NE in Crooked Lake Township. The minutes record 55 mailed notices and one comment in opposition; the commission found the proposal would not cause soil erosion or pollution into public waters if conditions are met.
Conditions recorded in the minutes include proper disposal of construction materials, adherence to any other required state or local permits, and that the approval remains effective while the site is used for the approved land use. The commission concluded the use was consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and surrounding land uses but noted conditions to offset potential neighborhood impacts.
