Sixty-nine invitations had been mailed out by the City. <br /> Our goal this year was to remove obstacles in the ordinance that might hinder businesses <br /> from moving to our downtown area. We would like to move to a performance based <br /> process. <br /> The property owners and tenants were invited. The invitations were not sent to the entire <br /> Downtown Mixed Use zone. Ruth Ann Hanson stated she only received her invitation <br /> this week. She can't speak for the businesses as she has not had time to gather the <br /> information. <br /> The PC wants to hear from the business community and we may need to wait until next <br /> month to discuss this. The Chamber will remind them through emails, etc. The Planning <br /> Commission asked what percent of the businesses that were invited are chamber <br /> members? Ruth Ann Hanson stated the Chamber committee is working with non- <br /> members also. <br /> Minutes 1 <br /> Pequot Lakes Planning Commission <br /> July 17, 2008 <br />
