built at the corner of Front and Manzanita Streets appeared to explain plans
and answer questions. It was indicated that there would be 3,469 square feet in
the building of which 2/3rds was committed to a service and repair shop and 1/3rd
was not committed; but there was a :possibility that service to automobiles
would be the ultimate use which would require a total of 9 parking spaces off-
street. It was pointed out that the property originally 60 feet wide was expanded
to use the next lot and the area applicable for this building would be 81 feet
wide. It was pointed out that no clearance from the State Fire Marshall had been
obtained. The plan was approved as presented on a motion by Hull, seconded by
McManama subject to the following conditions:
1. Secure State Fire Marshall Report and comply with its comments.

engineers, dated August 9 and August 20, 1973.

that cannot be severed from the lot the building is to occupy.

and voting.
The next item was the review of the plans for the Jewett Elementary School addition.
The City Engineer had only to comment that the Fire Marshall's Report was not
available and the mailing schedule for the deck had not been provided. The City
Administrator was instructed to contact the architect on these two matters and
report back to the Commission. On a motion by McManama, seconded by Bradshaw

The plans for the addition of a new building to be built at Second and Pine
Streets by the Sentry Square, Inc. were next presented and discussed. It was
pointed out that the present plans would provide for two stores and each should
have two restrooms instead of the one as shown. It was pointed out that this
was in excess of the present City requirement under the 1964 UBC but was per-
haps required in the 1971 UBC. The plans were approved on a motion by Banks,
seconded by Zieser and carried by a unanimous vote of Commissioners present
with the following provisions:

Village Subdivision and Mr. Jack Hoffbrah was introduced to answer questions.
