The Planning Commission discussed the recent events in May Township and the possible implications for Gem Lake. The Planning Commission discussed the easiest and least expensive route for the City of Gem Lake would be to add the truck gardening section that exists in the residential code to the Gateway Zone. It was noted that Mr. Tom Hansen paid the one time rezoning fee. The Commission discussed refunding his money if the policy or fees were changed. One implication of changing the ordinance would be the elimination of regulated working hours for the gardening section.
