That a competent planning consultant be retained to work with the planning commission to complete such a study and make recommenda- tions for best use of remaining land and a suitable zoning ordinance. The petition for rezoning is being returned herewith." Signed by C. K. Otis, Secy., Falcon Heights Planning Commission. Nilsen Any other comments?
