The final company under consideration is in the Flagstaff Business Park, which are plans for a spec building on lot 22. The building will be 10,220 sq. ft. and capital investment of $450,000.00. Mr. Bill Montray, Manager of Flagstaff Park, was there with architectural drawings of the building. There is a need in the area of this type of building and they have been getting inquires from people wanting distribution space. The building would qualify based on our matrix for athree-year tax abatement and she proposes that we do that. A motion to approve the Finding of Facts and the Canfirnaatory Resolution #13 for Flag 1 LLC for three-year tax abatement was made by Councilman Warthen, second by Councilman Clark. 1Vlotion carried 4-0.

Mr. Marty Witte about the drainage problem in Brookmore Subdivision. Two months ago he came before the council about the drainage problem on his rental property in Brookmare. Since then Mr. Beikman has had his crew working on the middle drainage swan. The swan veers off to the right at the end. It gets outside to vacate and into one of his lots where he will eventually build another double or selling the property. He would like to take the swan straight to the telephone pole towards the County easement. Councilman Warthen said he had been looking at the property on Friday evening and Monday night.after the rain and the water seemed to be running pretty good through there and going back. From the road looking back, was there a tree on the county easement? Mr. Witte said there were a couple of trees there. Looking down from the culvert there is a pole and he feels it should go to the right of the telephone pole. Then he will get the county to take it from there. Mr. Warthen asked what the distance was from the easement to his property line on the north side. Mr, Witte said it was 32.7 feet. Mr. Warthen said the town would bring the swan out to 32.7 ft. and grade, seed, and straw it. Mr. Warthen said it would pond at the end until he had the county take it on out. Mr. Witte said he would have to get with Mr. Drone since he owns half of the easement, but he said he was sure that would not be a problem. Councilman Bryant asked if it was the Town's responsibility an the east side of the culvert on Lehr Dr. to carry that water from the higher elevations of the Brookmore Subdivision all the way to the county easement on Old State Road 67. Mr. Currens asked whose property were the culverts on. Mr. Bryant said he thought they were on the property line. Mr. Witte said he was not sure, but he thought the north was on his property and he could give the town a 90-day easement. Mr. Warthen asked if we had an easement on Lehr Drive when we took over the maintenance of the roads from the county. Mr. Beikman said we - have a 50-foot easement to Lewis Drive but to his knowledge we did not have any ather drainage easements. Mr. Beikman said we da nat have a right away to the ditch on the county's easement. The town has the right away along Lehr Drive. Mr. Witte will check on the property lines and get back with the council at the next meeting. - Jack McGuire was next an the agenda and he was not present. Councilman Warthen reported on the Jefferson Street pazking. He said the Les Farmer, Fue Chief, felt that parking on one side only on the west side was the best for the f re department. It was called to his attention that the houses on the east side had no offside parking so this would eliminate parking that they would have. There is one fire hydrant an Washington St., one on Morgan St. and none on Jefferson St. So he recommends they eliminate parking on the west side of Jefferson St. and allow parking on the east. Motion to elinnate parking on the west side of Jefferson Street was made by Councilman Warthen, second by Councilman Clark. Motion carried 4-0.
