March 5 Planning and Zoning Update!

There will be no changes to the fish house park ordinances this year. We received a letter from Michelle McPherson, Adminstrator for the Mille Lacs County Planning and Zoning Office. Here is what she said:

"On March 4, the County Board directed staff to no longer pursue an
update at this time of the fish house park ordinance. The current ordinance
standards and any special conditions of approval for your conditional use permit
will continue to apply. The proposed standards may be looked at by the Planning Commission if an application for an expansion or a new park is received.

This summer, staff will be pulling the files and inspecting all fish house
parks (live-in and dead storage) for compliance with the ordinance requirements
and any conditions of approval that were applied a the time an approval was
granted. If you eed a copy of the current ordinance standards for your
files, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

We will notify you if the ordinance update is brought back for consideration."
