Board approves land‑use map amendment on U.S. 169 corridor to allow smaller commercial lots (4–1 vote)
Summary
The board voted 4–1 to amend the land‑use map for parcel 67360502 in Garrison Township from waterfront commercial to commercial to permit creation of smaller lots along U.S. 169; a neighboring property owner had objected to potential lot widths and mobile homes.
Chris (Land Services) presented a request to change the land‑use map for parcel 67360502 in Garrison Township from waterfront commercial to commercial (about 26.4 acres), saying the change would allow smaller commercial lots (roughly 40,000 square feet and 100 feet wide) along U.S. 169 instead of the larger waterfront‑commercial minimums. He told the board the planning commission held a public hearing on 04/17/2025 and unanimously recommended approval.
Commissioners asked whether the smaller lots would be non‑riparian and whether MnDOT right‑of‑way issues affect lot creation. Chris said administrative subdivision (non‑riparian lots) would be available and that MnDOT boundary questions commonly require direct coordination. A neighbor’s written comment raised concerns about 100‑foot lots and potential for mobile homes; Chris noted that resort or campground conditional‑use pathways are available under current zoning too. The board approved the map amendment on a 4–1 roll call.
