"J REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PERMTT -FEDERAL LAND BANK ASSOflTATTnw
IP 'V^TZ rS/fdA°m Clty Engineer'Richard L-leaver,stating that the proposed|l Federal Land Bank Association office location is allocable In the R-3 Zone with
a special permit granted by the City Council.He recommended granting the permit
subject to the request that the Association include a parking lot with
entrance from Hill Avenue only,with no entrance allowed on Pioneer Way
and possibly locate the parking lot in the rear of the building with some •
'land^apulng requirements alon9 the **ck property line,which would provideabufferbetweenitandtheresidential(R-l Zone)adjacent to the site.
Ron Fenich,Manager of the Federal Land Bank Association,and Ed James
Architect,were present,and presented proposed plans approved by their
building committee.The plans abandoned the access from Pioneer Way with
ingress and egress from Hill Street and Balsam Street,and provide 13 park
ing spaces in front of the building.This will locate the building nearer
Balsam Street and also allow the setback requirement along Pioneer Way The
change was highly acceptable by the Council,since they felt the residents
would be more-receptive tothis than having a parking lot facing them The
architect explained they are striving for a residential appearance to blend
in with the adjacent residential area,and the sketch also included the pro
posed type of landscaping,and an identification type sign approximately
12 feet high to be located in the northeast corner of the parking area.The
building will consistof 5000 square feet,including the basement,which
will house a lounge,heating facilities,conference rooms and storage.The
exterior material will consist of basaltic rock and rough cedar siding.
City Manager, Waggener,commented that in his estimation,this is a fine
example of a business building which blends well into a residential area.
The Council concurred.
Motion by Hill that the special permit be granted according to plans pre
sented,subject to meeting all requirements of the Building Code.Second
by Johnson.Motion carried.

including in the lease some of the changes they were in favor of,and also
authorization to make application to the FAA for runway extension.Also to
to start immediate correspondence to apply for funding for airport improvements.

their services will be called upon to help,and if not completed on that day |
