Planning Commission Board of Adjustments Regular Meeting 6/18/2026

The Crow Wing County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment held a regular meeting on June 18, 2026, primarily focused on land use and zoning matters including variances, conditional use permits, and preliminary plat approvals. Key procurement-related discussions involved approvals and amendments of conditional use permits for commercial storage buildings by America Real Estate Company (U-Haul), and a conditional use permit for significant dirt moving on Rabbit Lake. Several variance requests were reviewed and either approved or tabled, including after-the-fact variances for property setbacks and lake setback variances for residential construction. The board also recommended approval of a preliminary plat for a two-lot subdivision with conservation design. Motions were passed to approve variances and conditional use permits with specific conditions such as erosion control plans, storm water management, and final as-built surveys. The meeting included procedural clarifications on permit requirements and emphasized compliance with county ordinances and environmental protections. No direct contract awards or procurement vehicle discussions were noted, but several land use decisions will impact future development and associated procurement activities in the county.
