Commissioner Johnson informed the board that they were there to
consider the clinic at the corner of 10th and Rock Street for Dr.

the information.
Mr. Beasley presented a landscape plan which saves all the major

a 15' flagpole at the clinic entrance. Alterations to the
previous plan were the wood double -hung windows on all elevations.
Mr. Beasley presented a sample of the red brick proposed for the
building exterior. He stated that the roof would be a medium
dark grey and asked for assistance from the AHPP and the QQA in
choosing paint colors. Mr. Beasley said there would be a four
foot screen around the trash container and that the building
would have roof drains.
AWRk Commissioner Johnson inquired about signage. Mr. Beasley
responded that the sign would be of brushed aluminum letters,
6 " -8" high, mounted on the building and not lighted.
Commissioner Nichols stated that the American Flag gave the
building an institutional look and Mr. Beasley offered to take
the flagpole out.

explained that the windows that are closed can be opened up at a
