Murray County Board of Commissioners during their meeting Tuesday heard an update from Jean Christoffels about a conditional use permit for the expansion of the Edgewater Bay Campground. The expansion will include 110 new campsites and reactivate 28 inactive sites for a total of 310 campsites in the Agriculture and Shoreland Overlay Districts.
Christoffels said the Murray County Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 15th, 2023 regarding the conditional use permit…
Those three special conditions are:
- The permit holder shall comply with all government laws, rules and regulations as they apply to the project. If any state permits are required, a copy of those permits must be submitted to the Murray County Environmental Services Office before operation can commence.
- The conditional use permit may be reviewed annually to ensure the conditions are being met.
- A severe weather safety plan shall be drafted and submitted to the County Emergency Manager that includes evacuation routes, or a plan for providing shelter-in-place, and other procedures to be followed in the event of a severe weather emergency.
A motion was made and approved by the Murray County Board of Commissioners to approve the Edgewater Bay Campground conditional use permit.
