General Mills because they own most of the land suitably zoned for building.

areas: 1) felt that the definition of reserved capacity should be changed to
delete reference to square feet of office development and that the intersection
capacity is the true measurement of reserve capacity; 2) feels the language in
Section 3 regarding the City restricting development below the project reserve
capacity be dropped; 3) suggested language similar to what the Planning
Commisison had recommended regarding tenants' leases be incorporated and 4)
he agreed with the Planning Commission that a representative of the business
community be included in the Joint Task Force.

by P1r. Olson regarding the reserve capacity at the interchange and the wording
