Motion carried 4-0. Item 2. Ramsey Shoppers Mall. Mr. Keith C~ble was preSent, and Engineer Raatikka reviewed his report on this item. Mr. Cable explained that depending on the proposed road which could possibly eventually run from Industry to Co. road #5, he may completely reverse the placement of the building and gas pumps so as to have these facing the proposed road, however, that he still did not know exactly what the City Council had in mind on this matter. Mr. Cable also explained about the hard- ship caused by the 50' setback, and it was pointed out that the setback of the old city hall and garage were only 35' Mr. Peterson asked what Mr. Cable's timetable was on this matter, and Mr. ~able stated that he would like to begin this year.

Item 3. Arthur Anderson --Sketch Plan Commission reviewed the sk6tch plan , and recommended that Mr.. Anderson proceed with the preliminary showing 171st as being dedicated as part of the plat.
