Commerce, expressed concern over the proposed ordinance, stating he felt it could
be detrimental in the recruitment of new businesses to the industrial park. He
further stated he felt the issue is more a matter of "corporate citizenship" and that
possibly a committee could be formed, using a representative of the City (Carol
Hymel, Economic Development Specialist) as a liaison between the City and the
industrial park businesses. He went on to state. that he felt that regulations for an
industrial park should not be as stringent as those for a recreational park
Lee Houser, Strout Plastics, stated he felt the semi-tractor trailers and land/sea
containers should be allowed for use in the industrial. zoned areas provided they are
kept neat.
