All are signed except for our copy of the 1987 Amendment which is not signed; however, I presume a signed copy exists in the City file. It is the 1987 Amendment that has the provision prohibiting, the storage of snow on site which came in issue at the April 13, 1992 City Council meeting. That information should perhaps be forwarded on to Councilman Doerr who raised the question by way of memo or otherwise. I trust that you have each received a copy of our latest proposed Amendment to the St. Croix Mall PUD affecting the Mall theater expansion. That too would constitute the most recent adjustment or amendment to the St. Croix Mall P I also have within my file a multit a of m s and drawings affecting the St. Croix Mall in its var "ous dev opmental stages. if those would be of assistance to any ne.
