Industrial Park Preliminary Assessment Hearing City Engineer Tim Houle reviewed the project schedule and project costs for the 2004 Industrial Park Improvement extensions. �-` Mayor Malecha opened the public hearing. Jack Labarre of the Pequot Lakes Baptist Church questioned why the Church is being assessed for two lots. He indicated that because the church would not use two sewer and water services, they should only be assessed for one lot. Wayne Anderson of the Pequot Lakes Baptist Church concurred with Mr. Labarre and stated that the Church is zoned commercial, not industrial. Tim Houle indicated that all lots abutting Morehouse Drive would be assessed for the project. He further indicated that the zoning did not affect the assessment. Discussion was held about other possible ways to assess the properties such as assessing by front footage for streets. Discussion was held regarding the Baptist Church combining their lots so that they are recorded as one lot.
