Commission recommends several plats and a land‑use map amendment to county board; May 13 county board date set
Summary
The commission recommended approval to the county board for a land‑use map amendment (Anthony and Sherilyn Smith) and multiple preliminary plats (Snook Acres, Riverwood Shores on Whitefish, Fisher Acres); county board consideration is scheduled for May 13 at 9:00 a.m.
The Planning Commission recommended several items to the Crow Wing County Board on April 17, forwarding a land‑use map amendment and multiple preliminary plats for final action on May 13.
Nicolette presented a land‑use map amendment by Anthony and Sherilyn Smith to rezone 26.4 acres (parcel 67360502) from waterfront commercial to commercial; adjacent owner John Liebeck opposed dividing lots and urged larger waterfront lot widths. The commission voted to recommend approval to the county board.
Preliminary plats forwarded to the county board included Snook Acres (Benjamin and Sarah Snook, three lots plus outlot), Riverwood Shores on Whitefish (Mark and Carol Holzer, 18 lots), and Fisher Acres (Lamont Peterson and Rebecca Van Vickle, three riparian lots). Board discussion addressed lot standards and shoreland/steep‑slope protections, septic easements, and road access; staff and highway representatives confirmed required engineering and road‑maintenance coordination. Several nearby residents raised wildlife, shoreline, and road‑maintenance concerns; commissioners added highway‑department comments into findings where requested. All recommendations passed and staff noted county‑board hearings set for May 13 at 9 a.m.
