Counci~_-~ember Eggert Bras of the opinion that it was unfair to a1loT~r u.llseye to proceed with thei r plans if the City intends to proceed with othe:.~ puns, and suggested a moratori.uri on corm ~rcial building permits or sonic other action to indicate that the City wants to pursue some ideas. Attorney Jan de North stated he had reservations abo~a.t a moratorium because it would not be in ccn- junction with some general rezoning of the area involved, and if a moratoriums is imposed simply to give Council more time and to slow down the private business dealings between i~ir. Stillman and ~3u11s~y~, he would Piave a :card time upholding that type of action in court. Council- me~~,berr.:~gert cited the fact that a r',oratariu:a was imposed on multiple dwellings at the time the plans were reveived :~"or the Grace Lai property and the City Attorney at that time approved the acti on. Attorney TJan de ISorth stated he did not know the; subject ~v~ould COmri~ up again and ~Tould do the attcrney fcr i3u11seye wolf further research on it. ~'tabert Collins , was opposed to any moratoriums and if interfering with their plans, they might feel it necessary to take legal action. .After the discussion, Council concurred that it would be proper to ha~re a professional planner versed i n commercial areas do a feasi_b:.lity study on the matter. The Clerk Administrator was directed tp contact Carl Dale for his recammer~dations on which planners are available and establish a list of candidates and the Attorney was directed .~ research ~,~"ie legal implications. °T~ruTEs 1`L..
