He sa Id he is reluctant to approve a Special Use Permit with so many con- ditions. Samuelson said he will work with the Planner on traffic and park- Ing and relocation of roof equipment, and with Dreyfus on aestheticS and screen I ng. Squires stated he has been very satisfied with cooperation he has had with the Rein development; site i s kept clean; progress has been steady and good; structurally there have been no prob- . lems.
