Developers have proposed plans to build University Village - another 26-story building that would house apartments. The apartment would hold 500 units and be located on South University and South Forest ave- nues. Though some believe the city has a height restriction for build- ings, Jeff Kahan, a city planner, said that's not true. "It depends' on the zoning district limits," he said. When asked if he thought anything would surpass the 26- story mark anytime soon, Kahan replied, "It's hard to say. Zoning code for Ann Arbor doesn't have a height limitation."

Iran condemns new UN sanctions Tehran vows to forge ahead with nuclear program TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran vowed to push ahead with uranium enrichment yesterday, a day after the U.N. Security Council passed a third round of sanctions that Teh- ran called "worthless" and politi- cally biased. The council approved the mea- sures in a14-0vote, but unity among the major powers faltered yesterday when Russia and China blocked an attempt by Western nations to introduce a resolution on Iran's nuclear defiance at a meeting of the U.N. nuclear watchdog agency. The dispute reflected the often contentious relations between the West and Russia and China about how to deal with Iran's refusal to suspend enrichment and meet other Security Council demands aimed at ensuring its nuclear program isn't trying to produce atomic weapons. The sanctions approved Monday ordered a freeze on assets of addi- tional Iranian officials and com- panies with links to the country's nuclear and missile programs and banned for the first time trade with Iran in some goods that have both civilian and military uses. "This resolution is contrary to* the spirit and articles of the Inter- national Atomic Energy Agency... It is worthless and unacceptable," Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini was quot- ed as saying by Iran's official news agency. 0 "Money 101: Budget!
