Mayor Hovland stated that the purpose of this Closed Special Council Meeting was to
discuss the John E. &Janet K. Bohan vs. City of Edina litigation.
Attorney Champlin informed the Council they may only discuss the options available
to the City resulting from Judge Harry S. Crump ruling. Mr. Champlin said the judge's
findings were that technically, the proponent's request for variances should have been
acted on by the Zoning Board of Appeals. Mr. Champlin said the case was decided on
procedures and not on the merits of the variances granted. He stated that Cypress
Equity was not interested in appealing the judgment.
