After listening to 12 people, the Nisswa City Council voiced concerns but ultimately approved a rezoning request for property between Roy and Bass lakes on the Gull Chain of Lakes. The vote was 4-1.
The request pertains to a 26.57-acre parcel that the council agreed to rezone from open space residential to shoreline residential.
The approval at the Tuesday, April 20, council meeting was in line with City Planner Brittney Cotner’s recommendation, but against the planning commission’s recommendation.

The council’s regular monthly meetings will be at 7 p.m. the third Tuesday of the month starting this year. For numerous years previously, the council met on Wednesday nights.
