Research notes

Soft-coordination overlay (not preemption). Captured because Voyageurs adjacency materially shapes land-use posture in International Falls, Crane Lake, Kabetogama, Ash River, Rainy Lake communities; Isle Royale gateway coordination affects Grand Portage Reservation and the City of Grand Portage. Per-parcel adjacency predicate keyed to NPS unit boundary.
