However, there is concern
from council about
municipal liability from what
might | bé called “down-—
zoning” of properties in the
zone.

Municipal manager. Terry
Lester said “legally, no
compensation is required.”
It is a matter of what council
considers a moral obligation.

Alderman Don Lanskail
. said it is “morally wrong and
possibly a legal liability” for
a municipality to “arbitrarily
downzone properties, taking |
away value from lan-
downers.” \

Staff was instructed to
prepare a’ report on how to
implement the, Eikos
recommendations and asked
to look into the effects of
downzoning.
