Morelan pointed out that the <br />proposed building would be very visible from South <br />Owasso Blvd. until the property to the south develops. <br />Morelan felt it important to get a nice-looking <br />building in the area, and thought it was difficult to <br />get a good idea of just what the building would look <br />like from the rendering presented. <br />Stockness pointed out that his business is presently <br />located in a pole building in Ryan Industrial Park, and <br />it is not his intent that the new building would look <br />like the pole buildings in the Park. Stockness pointed <br />out that across the street from the Spruce Street site <br />is an excavating business with a yard full of <br />equipment. Stockness pointed out the soils issue, and <br />felt that the building he was proposing was a good <br />transitional use between the industrial park and the <br />properties along South Owasso Blvd. Stockness pointed <br />out that his soils engineer discourages the use of any <br />masonry on the site at all, and feels the 4 foot <br />wainscot around the building is pushing it. Stockness <br />pointed out that he is a masonry contractor, therefore, <br />if there is slight movement of the soils and the <br />wainscot cracks, he will be able to make the necessary <br />repairs to keep the building looking good. Stockness <br />pointed out that to comply with the 50% requirement, it <br />would be likely that the entire office area would be <br />masonry and he feels the masonry would have too much <br />exposure to cracking and breaking up. <br />Morelan pointed out that the City Planner has indicated <br />that the soils can be corrected, although it would be <br />expensive to do so. <br />Stockness pointed out that he obtained quotes for a <br />full-depth reclamation of between $156,000 and <br />$250,000. Stockness indicated that at even half that <br />cost, it would not be feasible for him to develop the <br />property. <br />3 <br />
