Mr. Thorp, from the Forest Lake School Distric was here to inquire into the status of the land use mao that the Beard had honed to have finished at this time. He was told that the Board h'hd been delayed in finishing the map by work and by the fact that the Village is witho(t the services of a Planning Consultant. The finalization of this map will have to wait until the Village secures a Planner since he will have to take part in writing the summary report that goes with the map. Mr. McLean said that for Mr. Thorp's purposes, the present map could be used as a temporary measure since the changes anticipated would not be of a drastic nature. For the purposes of projecting population in eonjuaction with the school distric, this map wouldn't be too far off. Mr. Thorp said he would come in and make a sketch of this map.
