PLANNING REPORT <br />northwest EssociEted consultants, inc. <br />TO: Little Canada Planning Commission <br />FROM: Michelle Hren /Stephen Grittman <br />DATE: 9 June 1987 <br />RE: Little Canada - Theran Rusch CUP and Variance Request <br />FILE NO: 758.09 - 87.34 <br />BACKGROUND <br />Theran F.
