The City of Elk River requested to <br />amend various sections of the Floodplain Management Ordinance. <br /> <br />Chairman Tveite opened the public hearing. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Earl Hohlen, 39 Main Street, Elk River, reminded the Planning Commission that <br />whenever the Commission is discussing something of this nature, the public did <br />not have a copy of the ordinance and therefore, did not know what changes <br />were being proposed and made it difficult to receive public opinion.
