-5- St. Anthony business property" . She also read the portion of the • ruling which poses the possibility of damages against the City if it "should unreasonably delay to comply" with the Court' s direction. The special attorney will be consulted as to whether the intense lighting of the Johnson operation had been brought up during the litigation or whether a judgment can now be sought. The Council had been informed- by the attorney that the Johnsons had indicated a willingness "to comply with reasonable commercial restrictions" . It was agreed that the same property owners who had been notified of the public hearings on the Johnson expansion plans should also now, as a courtesy, be informed when a building permit will come before the Planning Commission for review as to the proposed addition' s conformance with the City Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the Manager also confirmed that staff will review final site plans as to their conformance to the City zoning requirements for setbacks, parking and land area coverage, and will schedule any public hearings should variances be required which process will require notification of the neighboring property owners. Interested persons will also be kept informed of any actions taken by the City regarding the expansion through news stories in the St. Anthony Bulletin. Information on the lighting requested by the Council will be brought to them at their December 4 meeting.

Moore of that firm. Mr. Fornell reiterated the con- cerns stated in his October 30 memo that an indepth study of the cost and financing questions involved be made with perhaps a municipal financial consultant retained as well. The Public Works Director answered questions about the project, telling the Council the process • proposed should produce rejuvenated streets which should require no further work for at least five years. He said the entire blacktop network in the City will be included in the project.
