Beginning with page <br />10: <br />Background: <br />Language issues were discussed. There is a statement another Industrial Park needs to be <br />created; there is room to grow in the existing one and there could be a statement that <br />there is potential for build -out. It should maybe be addressed as the Business Park. <br />While we have reduced the lot sizes in the Business Park, we currently have nothing <br />sizable for new businesses. <br />When referring to our commuter -shed the cities listed may be too restrictive. They could <br />be generalized. "Tremendous growth" and "natural revitalization" may need to be <br />elaborated on. <br />Minutes <br />Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br />January 21, 2010 <br />
