LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES AUGUST 19, 1986 PAGE 6 Gene Peltier and Dorothy Lyons commented about the need for the City to consider and allow them a reasonable use of their land. Peltier stated that he does not want to see it zoned Agricultural and asked where is there a market for Agricultural land. Landowner Don Reagan and other citizens voiced concerns that the people couldn't live with the plan because it was too vague. People are not going to risk money to prepare a plan unless you give them boundaries in which to work. A program should be devised to include what businesses are compatible along a freeway and the maximum number of acres and money needed for investment on a development. 9.

Councilman Christ reported that the latest round of testing on his well shows that the level of contamination is higher than it's ever been.
