l�nders had Iisted am�ong their requirernents .e�idence. satis- - � - ._
fac�ory to them that all neeessar�r approval�. had. been obtained so ` _
that construction could proceed without inter�up�ian as far = -.�
as environm�ntal matters were concerned, and we sa�d at that ' - '�
tir:ne we felt there may be an environnental impact study . - `��
. ���:
required on the ramp, iTnich tYas the City's responsibility, and =- r{�;
possibly one would be required on the Hotel and that the- : ��;,
CiLy or HRA must pick�up alI c�sts related to such studies_ � �
ti�Te believe that as the planner of the whole development pro- � � '�
gram and its component parts as described in the wnereas . _ ;�
clausss of th� agreemer_t to zahich this proposal is attached� , - ;�.`
it is proper that you undertake the �unction of assuring - - . _�
