VIII. OLD BUSINESS
1. None.
IX. NEW BUSINESS
1. Conditional Use Permit Revision – Bay View Villas
Administrator Statz stated that a public hearing was held at the Planning & Zoning meeting
regarding revising the existing CUP for PUD. He stated that previously there had been a revision
allowing swimming pools for certain sized parcels. He stated that the developer is again asking
for a revision of the addition of five (5) boat slips to be utilized by the nine (9) upland homes. He
stated that there is a culvert nearby and the slips would not interfere with its operation.
Administrator Statz stated that he had received several written comments along with telephone
calls from concerned citizens regard size and environmental impacts of boat usage. He stated that
he spoke with the Department of Natural Resources who stated that in this instance there were no
real restrictions on the number of docks/slips. He explained that they do have regulations on
marinas where individuals rent docks to individuals that do not reside on the lake.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding the diagrams included in the packet, resident concerns,
length of dock needed to achieve navigable water, wind, damage to structure, etc. Administrator
Statz stated that the DNR regulations allow the length of dock to extend far enough in the water to
be in navigable water.
Administrator Statz explained that the previous builder was acting as the developer and felt that
there would not be demand for the boat slips and there was push back from concerned residents so
the original CUP for PUD did not include enough dock spaces for all homes. The developer has

since changed from that time to the property owner who has received requests for dock space and
it is felt that sales of the homes would be hindered by the inability to fully utilize the lake.
Administrator Statz stated that there is concern that docks could be placed across Main
Street/CSAH14 as the current property owner owns property on Peltier Lake. If was felt that
placing docks on this property was cause public safety issues for individuals crossing Main Street
and that the City is allowed to negotiate/regulate exceptions for granting a PUD.
Council Member Koski stated that several residents appeared at the public hearing held at the
Planning & Zoning Commission regarding their concerns for water quality, pollution, maintenance
of the sections, and installation of the dock itself with the ability to tie a watercraft to it. Discussion
ensued regarding maintenance of the dock. Administrator Statz stated that the Home Owner’s
Association is responsible for the maintenance of the dock surface with lakeshore owners
removing/installation of the dock.
Mr. Don Skelly stated that he felt that the property owners would have a personal interest in taking
care of the shoreline and improving the area.
Discussion ensued regarding possible signage placement by the HOA as numerous individuals are
familiar with the site being open to the public versus private property at the current time, home
values and legal notices being forwarded to residents/property owners that are within a 350’ radius
of the site.
Motion by Council Member Montain, seconded by Council Member Koski to Adopt the
Revised Conditional Use Permit for Planned Unit Development Utilizing Option B – Utilizing
the Linear Option (HOA May Construct and Maintain a Dock Complex on Outlot B. The
Dock Complex May Have No More Than Nine (9) Slips for Docking a Single Watercraft in
Each Slip. The Docks are for the Exclusive Use and Enjoyment of Residents Living in Block
2 and Watercraft Moored in Slips Must be Registered to an Address Within Block 2 of the
Bay View Villas Development). The HOA May Not Grant Right of Access to Residents for
Any Property on Peltier Lake. All in favor. Motion carried.
2. City Council Work Session Schedule
Administrator Statz stated that Council’s consensus at their recent retreat was that work sessions
were a valuable tool and the possibility of expanding the sessions by extending the start time or
having them more often should be explored. He stated that the current schedule of work sessions
has been the second meeting of the month, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
Lengthy discussion was had regarding start/end times, frequency, items of discussion, meeting day
of the week, modifying Council meeting dates, the intent of shortening the length of the actual
Council meeting due to discussions being addressed at the work session level, if no items of
discussion then no need for session, and the possible need for continuation of work sessions
following the regular Council meeting.
