Upon checking with the Building Department , we were informed: 1 . The building would not be completed at time of August auction . 2 . Special provisions would have to be explored regarding the temporary use at time of auction , prior to building completion - Fire Department , Building Safety inspections etc . 3 . Mrs . Bailey was informed that landscaping was to be completed after building construction was completed and prior to occupancy permit . a . ) She was informed of the following options : 1 . Upon application for a "deferral of improvements . " 2 . A check in lieu of bond would be acceptable . 4 Files June 12 , 1974 Page Two 3 . Upon unusual circumstances (i . e . , planting to be completed within a few weeks due to inclement weather -- pro- ject in-work) a waiver of bond could be requested upon approval of Building and Planning Departments . 4 . Since the building is not due for completion prior to the August auction , and special arrangements need to be made with the Building Department (see Item #2) , I advised that Mrs . Bailey include her landscape schedule and provisions with the special consideration application by the Horsebreeders ' Association prior to the August auction . JAL/ms I , a s 4.

He said that he may, and that he would be present at the public hearing to answer any ques- tions on the site plan or architecture of the proposed building. I informed him that our Landscape Designers felt that the Poplar trees should be 12-14 high as planted and the trees should be planted along the south property line. The other plant mater- ials used do meet SC.S. requirements for wild bird food and habitat. I also told him that there may be a requirement to setback from the east property line 60 feet or more to avoid conflict with North South arterial and the P-1 channel . cc:GYE MS:kh RenLoll, Wash.
