Medical Arts Building.
At the request of Robert Korner, attorney for the group seeking a
permit to build a Medical Arts building on N. E. 2nd Avenue between 96th and
97th Streets, the Council agreed to review the revised plan of the building.
Mr. Korner pointed out where they could pick up a few extra parking spaces
resulting in . 77 sq. ft. of parking area for each sq. ft. of building area which,
he stated, they believe is more than adequate to meet the needs of the building.
Mr. Korner also stated that they would be willing to pave and landscape the lot
across the street and then trade it to the city. Agreement was also indicated
by Mr. Korner on paving the Village lot on 98th Street. Mr. Claus sen moved
that the Council approve the site plan submitted today with the off street parking
as shown, with the following conditions: that we would negotiate with these
people on trading the municipal parking lot, Lots 22 and 23, Block 19, for
Lots 8 and 9, Block 30 with paving and landscaping, and that they will surface

the City Hall Lots 8 and 9, Block 31 with paving, drainage and proper land-
scaping. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jones. Because the Council had
indicated they would like the building to stay within the height limit Mr. Korner
stated that they still weren't sure if they could keep it to the 40 ft. height but
that this could be considered at a later date. Mr. Smenner asked that a unity
of title be given on the parking lot and the building. The motion was passed
unanimously.

County Fire Department.

come up in the budget preparation and had been discussed with the County

not yet received. Mr. Jones spoke in favor of the proposal and Mr. Smenner
commented that we are being pushed in this direction.
