P.O. Box 811 • Gran€s Pass, OR 97526 {503) 479-0549 • (503) 476-7445 Mr. George Rubaloff Gity Of Central Pnint 155 S. 2nd Street Central Point, Or. 97502 Dear Mr. Rubaloff: December 17, 1990 ~~I-III3IT ~.~.V. Contingent upon approval from the city of Central Point, we have agreed to purchase a house located at 744 East Pine Street in the city of Centro! Point. This property is presently being used as a beauty parlor. Our intention is to locate the studios and offices of KOPE-FM, a new radio station serving the Medford metropolitan area. We do not anticipate making any major alterations to the outside of the structure other than to generally improve it's appearance by painting and other simple cosmetic inhancements. We will however need to locate two or three satellite receiving dishes on the land adjacent to the rear of the house. At this time, it is our belief that two dishes will be adequate. In any event, they will be camouflaged with fencing, plants, and landscaping. This will insure that the receiving dishes are unobtrusive, and that they are protected from vandalism. The property contains ample space for this purpose. Driving access to the station is from 8th Street and an alley way bordering the rear of the property. There are presently three existing parking spaces consisting of the garage and driveway, and we will construct an additional four spaces at the rear of the property. These spaces wit! have access from the alley way. This will provide for more than enough parking considering that the building is appraximatefy 1,150 square feet. It is unlikely that people connected with the radio station will ever need to park on 8th street. The "dishes" will be simple receiving units used for the purpose of obtaining network radio feeds, and will not differ in appearance to those used in private homes throughout the county. There will also be a small microwave antenna located an a simple pole mast attached to the side of the hawse. This is for the transmission of a very low powered microwave signal that will be used to send our programs from the studios to our transmitter site located approximately three miles from Jacksonville on highway 238. This antenna will actually be considerably smaller than most normal home television aerials. Because of the very low power of the signal, the extreme directivity, and high frequency, this system will not cause any interference to nearby radio and television reception. The main renovation will take place within the structure, and not be visible from the outside. At this time it is anticipated that two studios will be required. One being far live broadcasting, the other for production work. The rest of the space will be utilized for simple offices. The station will consist of a small full time staff of approximately eight people. It should be noted that these people wilt not be present at the studios at the same time. They will be spread throughout the twenty four hour day. It should further be mentioned that the overnight programing will be coming into our station via satellite, and will only require one on duty person. We are certain that our facility will present a very low profile to the neighborhood, and we are of the belief that the beauty shop presently located an the premises under discussion, is generating far more traffic than the radio station will. We are going to be a commercial radio station with a news talk format. It is our intention to be both informative and entertaining to the community. As a commercial entity, we anticipate having a sales staff of approximately two people. As a general rule, these sales people will visit clients at their places of business. It will very much be the exception that clients will actually visit our premisses. If you have any questions, or require further information, please don't hesitate to contact me. R ~~spectfully, ~vr.~ ~1 Alan Corbeth At this time, it is our belief that twn dishes will be adequate. In any event, they will be camouflaged with fencing, plants, and landscaping. This will insure that the receiving dishes are unobtrusive, and that they are protected from vandalism. Any signage will be in accordance with a sign permit from the city of Central Point and be small and unobtrusive. There will be no noise generated other than what ane would expect from a normal office building. D. E-1 Not applicable. E-2 The station will consist of a small full time staff of approximately eight people. it should be noted that these people will nat be present at the studios at the same time. They will be spread throughout the twenty four hour day. It should further be mentioned that the overnight programing will be coming into our station via satellite, and wit[ only require one on duty person. We are certain that our facility will present a very low profile to the neighborhood, and we are of the belief that the beauty shop presently located on the premises under discussion, is generating far more traffic than the radio station will. Since the traffic generated will be less than is now apparent, we anticipate no need to increase street widths or modify street design.

E-7 Fences will be added to the property as noted in the scale drawing under the appropriate permits from the city of Central Point. E-S The overnight programing will be coming into our station via satellite, and wil! only require one an duty person. No regulation needed due to low impact. E-9 Not applicable. E-10 Not applicable. E-11 No other conditions are necessary to protect the public health, safety and general welfare. The legal description of the praperty is as foElaws: Lot 4, Block 1, Griffiths addition to the city of Central Paint, Jackson County, Oregon. A. The site is adequate in size and shape to accommodate said use in that no other buildings other than those existing are needed. The scale drawing shawl the existing buildings and the fencing and space for satellite dishes and allows space for additional parking. B. The driving access to the station is from 8th Street and an alley way bordering the rear of the praperty. There are presently three existing parking spaces consisting of the garage and driveway, and we will construct an additianal four spaces at the rear of the property. These spaces will have access from the alley way. This will provide for more than enough parking considering that the building is approximately 1,15Q square feet.
