He stated the <br />issue isn't about profit but rather about keeping the rates down and feels the dance studio <br />would have to double their dance rates if she moved her studio to a retail location. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Pam Sitts, owner of P S Dance Studio, 604 Railroad Drive, expressed the type of facility <br />that they're looking at is a warehouse type of facility. She states that the height of the <br />ceilings, along with the poles, is a safety concern. She is interested in finding a location like a <br />warehouse or light industrial facility. She doesn't want to raise her rates and desires to stay <br />in Elk River. <br />
