Planning commission issues positive declaration; EIS required for Waterside Estates development
Summary
The commission voted 6-0 to issue a positive declaration requiring an Environmental Impact Statement for the Waterside Estates Development proposed by US‑Barefoot Bay, LLC across multiple Fairview Township parcels.
US‑Barefoot Bay, LLC presented an Environmental Assessment Worksheet for the Waterside Estates Development covering several parcels in Fairview Township (multiple PIDs listed in the record). After review and public discussion, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to issue a positive declaration and require preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The decision means the project will undergo a fuller environmental review process under Minnesota environmental review rules; the EAW and written comments will be used by the local governmental unit (delegated to the Planning Commission) to determine the scope of the EIS and required analysis.
