On December 21, 2010, the Minnesota Court of Appeals upheld the Aitkin County Planning Commission’s denial of a request by Eagle Nests Townhome Association to amend its conditional use permit to increase the number of mooring sites. The planning commission denied the request due to a continued violation of the shoreland ordinance and environmental concerns. The Court of Appeals affirmed the planning commission’s reasoning. Aitkin County was represented by Paul D. Reuvers and Stephanie A. Angolkar.
