Commission approves consolidated CUP for Trout Lake Camps with 42 conditions
Summary
The planning commission approved a consolidated conditional-use permit for Trout Lake Camps (Minnesota Baptist Conference), consolidating six prior CUPs and approving proposed expansions — including an increase in an approved gym to 40,000 sq ft and an RV park with 25 sites — subject to 42 conditions.
Crow Wing County staff presented a consolidated conditional-use permit application for the Minnesota Baptist Conference’s Trout Lake Camps, proposing to merge six prior CUPs into a single, updated CUP and to formalize various previously approved and proposed facilities.
Staff outlined the proposal in detail: the gym previously approved at 13,850 square feet is proposed to be increased to 40,000 square feet; staff housing and restroom buildings totaling multiple thousands of square feet were listed, as were a tornado shelter, a climbing-wall storage area, and an RV park of 25 camping locations. Staff noted substantial permit history dating to 1975; the consolidated instrument would render those prior CUPs null and void if approved. The applicant representative confirmed the property is just over 300 acres and that roughly 9% of the site is impervious surface.
With no public testimony present, the commission amended findings to explicitly state that approval of the consolidated CUP would make the listed prior CUPs null and void and moved to approve the new CUP with the 42 proposed conditions. The motion passed.
