"A OMITTI ALL OTHEKI AOMITTI Little Rock, AR 72201 Cco _r Re: City of Little Rock City Beautiful Commission C_ c :�:J= r-- —< Dear Mayor Stodola : cnn r-�p I would like to submit my name as an applicant for the available At -Large Positiogwi h the Little Rock City Beautiful Commission. As a native of Searcy, Arkansas, and a studeril-at a University of Arkansas, I have been involved in various community organizations rel&d o C'; improving the landscape of those communities, including Adopt -a -Highway and enviror tf rien al T fun -runs. Many of the jobs I held as a youth were related to landscaping and painting, positidns which reflected my interest in improving the aesthetic and environmental quality of those communities I lived in. It has always been my opinion that these qualities are extremely crucial to the effective economic and social development of any community, and represent the "first impression" of our great city for all visitors, both individual and corporate. Upon obtaining my degree from the University of Arkansas School of Law, I moved to Little Rock to become an attorney with Mitchell Williams Law Firm. An important part of my education and practice involves policy review, interpretation, drafting and development. Additionally, a great deal of my time is devoted to public relations, both as an advocate for my clients and the community at large. As such, I would like the opportunity to be a part of, and contribute to, the City Beautiful Commission. I believe that my abilities and enthusiasm would be put to excellent use in this organization, and ask that you give me the opportunity to assist the Little Rock City Beautiful Commission as an At -Large Member.

A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the right-of-way of any street, highway or freeway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide. 2. Shrubs should be spaced three (3) feet apart to achieve continuous screening. 3. Not more than twenty-five (25) percent of the perimeter planter area may be shifted from one area of the site to another area of the site. 4. A franchise application must be obtained for any/all landscaping, hardscaping or parking to be located within the public fight -of -way. VARIANCE REQUESTED: 1. Reduction of a portion of the required perimeter landscaping strip along University Avenue. 2. Shrubs to be grouped allowing a design element of brick pavers; allowing pedestrian access to the nearby sidewalk. The quantity of shrubs meets ordinance. 3. A portion of the required perimeter landscaping to be located within the public right -of way. FINDINGS: The C-3 zoned property at 1716-1818 S. University Avenue is occupied by three (3) one-story commercial buildings. The property is located at the northwest corner of S. University Avenue and Boyle Park Road (W.19'h Street). There are existing driveways from S. University Avenue and Boyle Park Road which serve as access to the commercial buildings. There is paved parking along all sides of the two (2) southernmost commercial buildings and on the east side of the north building. The overall property is comprised of several platted lots within Blocks 6 and 7, Cox's Subdivision of Taylor and Bodeman Subdivision. There are no platted building lines. The applicant proposes to remove the existing buildings and parking lots to redevelop the site for a branch bank facility as shown on the attached site plan. The development includes a 4,000 square foot branch bank building located within the south half of the property with a future expansion on its east side as shown. Drives through lanes with a covered canopy are located on the north side of the building. A customer parking lot is located on the south side of the building with an access drive from Boyle Park Road. An employee parking lot and dumpster area are located within the north portion of the property, with an access drive S. University Avenue. A circular driveway will serve the drive through area from S. University Avenue. A screening fence will be located along the west property line. A billboard which exists within the north half of the property will remain. On June 30'h, 2008, the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved the development with reduced building setbacks and buffers. The applicant is requesting two (2) variances with the proposed redevelopment plan. The first is from the perimeter planting strip provision of Section 15-96 (a.) which requires a perimeter planting strip along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the right-of- way of any street, highway or freeway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide. The parking area near the center of the property along S. University (adjacent to the drive through area) has a perimeter street planting strip ranging from zero (0) feet to six (6) feet. The second variance is from the area provisions of Section 15-95 (5.)(a.) requiring shrubs to be spaced three (3) feet apart to achieve continuous screening. The applicant is proposing to meet the quantity of shrubs required; however, would prefer to group them so that brick pavers can be put along every other parking space to allow for pedestrian access to the adjoining sidewalk. A portion of the required landscaping and hardscaping is shown within the public right-of-way; therefore, a franchise agreement must be obtained prior to the issuance of a building permit. This applicant has worked hard with city staff to come as close to compliancy as possible; making over sixteen (16) changes from the original submittal. Staff is supportive of the requested variances. Staff feels the proposed redevelopment plan for the property will be quality improvement within this corridor of S. University Avenue. The shallow depth of the property, being only approximately 110 feet, makes redevelopment with minimum building setbacks and landscape stripsibuffers being met very difficult. Any future redevelopment of the site would likely face the same issues as this proposed development. Staff feels the proposed redevelopment plan for this property will have no adverse impact on the adjacent properties or the general area. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff feels the applicant is both meeting and exceeding the intent of the landscape ordinance with the redevelopment of this site. Therefore, we recommend approval of the landscape plan as submitted. 5' HIGH OPAOM ENCLOSURE W/ OPAQUE GATE IOYS'A SOD (TIP.) 1 PJ' 51 9R^ 7 FG• 7 MG- 4 VL 5 6S 3 CM- 3 VL- 6 SL 1 JM 2 PJ i VL- 1 AC 1 MA- 5 SI 10 sx, 6' HIGH FENCE SIDE Boyle Park Road DYH DYH TREE GRATE (TYP.)

A perimeter planting strip is required along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the right-of-way of any street, highway or freeway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide. 2. One (1) tree shall be planted for every seven hundred fifty (750) square feet of required landscape or buffer area with an average linear spacing of not less than thirty (30) feet. Three (3) shrubs or vines for every thirty (30) linear feet shall be planted in the perimeter planting strip. 3. Not more than twenty-five (25) percent of the perimeter planter area may be shifted from one area of the site to another area of the site. VARIANCE REQUESTED: 1. Reduction of a portion of the required perimeter landscaping strip along the western property line; next to the parking lot along Nova Lane. 2. A reduction in the number of shrubs along the western property line and the elimination of trees along the western property line. FINDINGS: The Cl zoned property located at 8108 Geyer Springs Road is occupied by an existing Taco Bell Restaurant. The adjacent property fronting onto Nova Lane is developed as a parking lot for the restaurant. The applicant is proposing to remove the existing building and redevelop the site with a new Taco Bell. The existing parking lot and associated driveways will, for the most part, be retained, resurfaced, and re -striped. The existing development does not comply with the cities current standards. The Northern portion of the site where the building is to be located will be redeveloped to comply with all of the zoning and landscape ordinance requirements. The existing curb along the driveway will be relocated to provide the perimeter landscape depth required by ordinance. The existing parking lot located on the southern portion of the site will receive some upgrade and •poniT ugns st, ueid odeospuei aq1 Jo iUnoxdd-e puourmooaz om olojongjL •,(Ilo alljo vare aani uu paleuSisop oql uTgllm paieooi sT 01us s1Lil •XianTITsod poogaogqOTau aql jouduau 111xan0 iiTm Jt'gj aITs Ouilsixo u-e 2uup Adn sT jueoiiddu oql siaaj j3-e}S =NotiVaNl2[W OJaH AAbiS •poogxogg2Tau oql of uoi}ngtz}uoo anTjusod v pue Iuauzanoaduui uL, si iiLI.zano `sngl -2uudvospuei mau puB `oumoojos mau `axn}oru}s mau L, q}tm Xpodaid oqT op-exSdn oT SuTiiTm sT TuvoTiddu oqj •oTjs sTgT jo Tuouudoianapax aqT aoj suoiTdo oqT ToizTsaa aTis oqT jo suoulTpuoo BuTlsTxa oqT siaaJ3J-BIS • om sigT xoj sTuauuaxunbax U01WIT323n oql jo autos jo uoTT-Buuuuuia/uou}onpaa L, puL, oTjs oqT jo aalauu iod uxajsua oqT 2uoie dTlTs OuT}ueid poonpw v moiiu of ooueTjPA P 2uiIsanbax sT Tu-eoTidd-B oqZ •dims oduosputi (£) looj aazgl sTql uTgjTm OuTluV Id �-e («0£)1g2Taq UT sagouT , avjgj jo uanuuTuiuu V aju 1eT s,uzoglmtH UeTpui lucid of pu-e xaIauzTaad aqj Ouop aouaJ XOPATzd (,9) g2Tq looj xTs U iiBIsuT of sasodoxd Imogdde oTljL -(«6-,9) sagouu auTu looj xTs jo uunuuTuuuu v sonnbw oouauipzo odeospuei oT41 •(«p-, £) looj aaxq} Xluo saxnsuauu joi OuTNiLd sul jo opts Isua oqj uo dims oduospuui xaJauuuxad OuilsTxo oql, •uOTW.znSUuoo joi Oulliud pue qmo OuTISM aq} uue10u of axTsap Ju-eouiddu aqZ -paoejmsaa oq IiTm eare osn xeinoTgan aqj •juauuanoaduui -- wl ,mmoc 0M | )\ m. \ 00. § g.

Mr. Dickson Flake, agent for Arvest Bank explained that due to the property not having much depth the applicant had to purchase 360 foot of street frontage. Chair Warren inquired about the exact location of the billboard and the future plans for its removal or restoration. Mr. Flake noted that there is an agreement in place that once it comes down that it will not be rebuilt. Mr. Flake also noted he'd met with approximately one-half of the neighborhood; for the most part they were renters of the homes. It was noted that the employee parking lot was secluded from the rest of the site and that having an additional pedestrian walkway to accommodate pedestrian traffic might be optimal. It was noted that currently, employees would be required to walk through the proposed landscape bed(s) to go towards the bank building. Mr. Flake agreed and stated that he'd be more than happy to include an additional walkway area for the employee parking lot and would use brick pavers to construct the area. Commissioner Wiedower inquired about the setback of the building. Mr. Dana Carney noted that a variance was granted for the building setback on this site. Commissioner Homeyer noted it looked like it was going to look great and that the applicant had apparently gone above and beyond on the requirements. Motion: Commissioner Wiedower made a motion to accept the variance request as amended with the addition of the pavers to help accommodate pedestrian traffic. Second: Commissioner Tatum seconded the motion and it passed unanimously.

Commissioner Redding noted that the information is mailed to her annually. Landscape Awards .Tenn -Commissioner Cole noted that she'd been working on the finalization of a presentation date and it appears that October the 71h is optimal. Nataki Blocker, with the City of Little Rock, is verifying that date with the Board. Commissioner Redding noted that she had three(3) nominations with pictures. Staff noted the photos are highly appreciated. Chair Warren noted the media release can be done by Scott Carter, PR for the City of Little Rock and she noted that she'd follow up with Mr. Carter. Vice -chair Homeyer noted that he was going to check on the cost of changing the 2007 to 2008 on the award signage and will report his findings. Discussion of using a new poster format for the awards was discussed. Chair Warren noted that her department had a lot of digital photos for non-profit use that might be used for the new poster design. Who might be available to work on a new poster design was discussed. Commissioner Wiedower noted that he'd be willing to help Commissioner Watts if she had the time to help with a design. Vice -chair Homeyer noted that there were good examples of the poster design style at Mangan Rainwater Culpepper. Chair Warren inquired about the intention of the CBC to hold a reception prior to the award ceremony. It was noted that people tend to mingle more with food/drink available. Chair Warren noted that in the past, various local restaurants have donated the food and drink. Also, noted of importance was the ease of the reserved seating for the awardees and should repeat the reserved seating this year. It was decided that if the food and/or drink could be donated then great and move forward. Eye of the Beholder Debra - Commissioner Redding noted that she's had eleven (11) additional nominations for the month of July. Commissioner Redding was also able to compose a written informational section in the Master Gardeners newsletter. Chair Warren noted that it maybe an option to have Beth Phelps include information in one of the daily emails. Commissioner Redding noted that she would check on this option. Chair Warren noted that she intended on changing/adding some pictures to the website.

UNIVERSITY AVENUE, DICKSON FLAKE, AGENT City staff began the presentation regarding the redevelopment of the properties located at 1716- 1818 S. University. This C-3 zoned property is occupied by three (3) one-story commercial buildings. The property is located at the northwest corner of S. University Avenue and Boyle Park Road (W.191" Street). There are existing driveways from S. University Avenue and Boyle Park Road which serve as access to the commercial buildings. There is paved parking along all sides of the two (2) southernmost commercial buildings and on the east side of the north building. The overall property is comprised of several platted lots within Blocks 6 and 7, Cox's Subdivision of Taylor and Bodeman Subdivision. There are no platted building lines. The applicant proposes to remove the existing buildings and parking lots to redevelop the site for a branch bank facility as shown on the attached site plan. The development includes a 4,000 square foot branch bank building located within the south half of the property with a future expansion on its east side as shown. Drives through lanes with a covered canopy are located on the north side of the building. A customer parking lot is located on the south side of the building with an access drive from Boyle Park Road. An employee parking lot and dumpster area are located within the north portion of the property, with an access drive S. University Avenue. A circular driveway will serve the drive through area from S. University Avenue. A screening fence will be located along the west property line. A billboard which exists within the north half of the property will remain. On June 3.0'', 2008, the Board of Zoning Adjustment approved the development with reduced building setbacks and buffers. The applicant is requesting two (2) variances with the proposed redevelopment plan. The first is from the perimeter planting strip provision of Section 15-96 (a.) which requires a perimeter planting strip along any side of a vehicular use area that abuts adjoining property or the right-of- way of any street, highway or freeway. This strip shall be at least nine (9) feet wide. The parking area near the center of the property along S. University (adjacent to the. drive through area) has a perimeter street planting strip ranging from zero (0) feet to six (6) feet. The second variance is from the area provisions of Section 15-95 (5.)(a.) requiring shrubs to be spaced three (3) feet apart to achieve continuous screening.

The scope of the redevelopment typically requires full compliancy with city code. The northern portion of the site where the building is to be located will be redeveloped to comply with all of the zoning and landscape ordinance requirements. The existing curb along the driveway will be relocated to provide the perimeter landscape depth required by ordinance. The existing parking lot located on the southern portion of the site will receive some upgrade and improvement. The vehicular use area will be resurfaced. The applicant desires to retain the existing curb and parking lot configuration. The existing perimeter landscape strip on the east side of this parking lot measures only three foot (3'-0"). The landscape ordinance requires a minimum of six foot nine inches (6'-9"). The applicant proposes to install a six foot high (6') privacy fence along the perimeter and to plant Indian Hawthorn's that are a minimum of thirty inches in height (30") at planting within this three foot (3') landscape strip. The applicant is requesting a variance to allow a reduced planting strip along the eastern perimeter of the site and a reduction/elimination of some of the vegetation requirements for this area. Staff feels the existing conditions of the site restrict the options for the redevelopment of this site. The applicant is willing to upgrade the property with a new structure, new screening, and new landscaping. Thus, overall the development is an improvement and a positive contribution to the neighborhood. Staff feels the applicant is upgrading an existing site that will overall impact the neighborhood positively. This site is located within the designated mature area of the city. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the landscape plan as submitted. Mr. Steve Giles, agent for Taco Bell, gave data on the existing conditions. Chair Warren inquired about existing on site trees that the agent kept referring to and their location(s). Mr. Giles noted that the existing trees were currently not shown on the landscape plan. The applicant presented photographs of the existing conditions. The revised landscape plan gives the City of Little Rock a landscape strip along both the northern and southern property lines which improves the sites entirety because currently there is zero along these sides. Mr. Giles also noted that currently the existing Taco Bell is surrounded by commercial property with the exception of one rental home in which they intend on screening with an six foot (6') high opaque fence and additional vegetation. Mr. Giles noted that there were mature River Birch trees on the site that the applicant intends on saving. Commissioner Wiedower inquired about the intention of the back parking lot. Mr. Giles noted that currently they intend on resurfacing the parking lot. Mr. Giles noted that on the site is currently a mixture of Indian Hawthorns, Gum Trees, Pine Trees, etc. these are thick and dense with the exception of about a thirty foot (30') gap. In this area additional vegetation can be planted to help meet ordinance and Mr. Giles noted that he would gladly work with staff on satisfying the requirements. Chair Warren noted that careful construction techniques would be required otherwise, the likelihood of losing the trees was great. Commissioner Homeyer inquired about the dumpster being moved. The applicant noted that indeed the dumpster had been moved at the request of city staff. Chair Warren inquired about the intention of Taco Bell to put in an automatic irrigation system. The applicant noted that although it wasn't required the intention was for the sites entirety to be automatically irrigated. Mr. Giles noted that the existing fencing on the site would also be repaired/replaced as needed. Vice -chair Homeyer noted that the site overall would look much nicer and he believed it was a nice redevelopment of the property. -podaz ou-saaaZ 0£9-I 'Sul;aaui aq; p3;939n uznjul aauoissiutuioa -Tom ouifeis jou aznTuoj zajem oqT OuipzeSaz paouauuuuoo sizuo Tllim uoissnosTQ •xaam Txou ui saazl �IIOLI oigl joO Ipm uuze3 aazZ siuuag Teill paTou uazzern zieT O — uapa9O ,UWA anaH IFH 4D spa. ad as n;n3 •ollsgam oqj of saznjoid autos Suippe/SulOuUgo uo papua}ui ails leill paIou uazzern iT q:) •uoildo siT uo Noogo pinom awls pTIj palou Suippa�I zauoissiTuuuoO •slieuua Kllep oql jo auo uT uoiTUwiojuT apnloui sdloq(l Tllag aneul o} uoildo ue ;DgXL u 11 jeill palou uazzern ziego •z0113lsmau szauap-TUD zaIseW OqT UT uoiIoas IeuoileTuz0JUI uaRizm e osoduuoo of alge osle sem SuTppaZl zauoissiuuuuo� -Xlnf jo q uouu oql zoi suoi�euTTuou leuoi�ippe (i i) uanala peTl s�aTls �eLI� pa}ou Suippo-d zauoissTTuuuoo - uaga(taapiogag aqj 3o 9n21 •pzemzoJ anoTu pup TeazS uogT paleuop ag pinoo 5lulzp zo/pue pool oql A Tear papioap sem }I •lead SIT OuTTeas panzasaz aulj }eadaz pinogs pue saapzeme 041 z01 2uijeas panzasaz aul, jo asea oqj sem ooTre:ToduuT jo paiou `osIV •)luizp pue pool aulj paTeuop a)AUq sjuezneIsaz leool snoizen `Ised oqj ui jeili palou uazzern ziulo •olgeliene }ITuizp/pooj Trim azow alOuiuu oT puaj oldood }-exp palou sem TI juoL uojoo pzemU oTIT of zoizd uoildaoaz e ploTl o} DUO aTI} jo uoilua;ul aulT Tnogv pazinbui uazzelA ziego •zaddadlno zajemure�j uUSuUW }e ales uSisop zalsod aTIT jo soldTuexo pooS atom azaTlT TUgT paTou za�iauuoH zieulo-aoin •uSTsap Trim dlaTl o� auui� aTI� peal ails Ji sTTern zauoissiuuuTo� dlaTl o} uillim ag p�olq jup paiou zamopai� zauoissiuzuuoO •possnosTp sem uSTsop zalsod mau e uo 3Izom o} algeliene ag }gSiw oulrn •uSisop za}sod mau oqT zoj posn ag TgOiw TugT osn Tgozd-uou zoj soTogd IUj!&p jo }ol e peal juowp-edop lain Iegi poTou uazzern ziugD •passnosip sem spzeme oqT zoj TeTuzoj ioTsod mau e SuTsn jo uoissnosT(I •sSuipug sTTI :Vodaz Ipm pue aSeuSTs p ume aT uo 800Z 01 LOOZ auk SuiSueulo Jo Tsoo aT uo )Ioogo of SuToS sem oq TUT paTou za,�auzoH zieTlo-aoTA •zalTeD •zW Trim do moiloj p,ogs vegT palou ails pure 310ON 011411 jo XTD QqT zoJ lid `.ioWD TTooS Xg ouop ag ueo oseolaz eipauu OqT palou uazze/A zieulD •poTuloazdde XITISiq ate soTogd oqT palou jjulS •saznpid TI}im suoiTeuiuzou (£)aazTlj puq awls }eql pajou SuippaZl zauoissiTuuuoo •pzeog Z)gT ulTim a}ep TUgT Suixjizan sT `Noo�I ollli'I jo XI!D Z)qT Trim `z03I0019 PIPIUM •leWTIdo si Li;L oqT zagolop TrgT szeadde }i pue a�ep uoi�e�uasazd e �o uoi�ezileug aTlj uo Su.N.iom uaag p,ogs TugT paiou aloD IouoisSlwTuOD- uuap spaunir� a �aspue7 •,�Ilenuuu tail of polieuu si uollRuu OJui 0111 TeLIT paTou OuiPP21I zauoussluTwoo •puo szeoX XlleoidXj s8m airz oonpaz oql zoJ ouilpeap oqj Suilou `osle `.teas lxou 31edioiazed of suuzoj oqj lsonbaz of paau DgD oill iiim zo aouapisaz Jain of Suimoo ag Ilim suuoj dn-uSis/aoiTeuuzojui a p 3i Suippo2j zauoissTuzuz00 Ise uazzern zreulD-600Z h'-agg uap.JeO :Slj,LvQdR :sluOdau aalliNNOD ,iisnowiueun passed }i pue uoi}ouu oqj papu000s zamopaTrn zauoissiuzuuoD :pu000s spuauuuTooaz��e}s se �sanbaz aoueTzen aTI� �daooe o� uoi�oTu e apeTu za�fauuoH zieTlo-aoin :uoiIoW PR-Website-Chair Warren noted the statistical information regarding the website and handed out corresponding information. KLRB- Commissioner Jennings noted that they KLRB have a new chair, Mr. Ron Meyers. Mr. Meyers will be compensated by getting a percentage of the donor monies that the KLRB Commission acquires. Heifer International has decided to take upon one of the locations for an upgrade in the public right-of-way design. Heifer is also picking up the design and implementation bill for the site located at 2nd Street and Cumberland; so this project ball is rolling. Ado t-A-•Street Coordinator -Commissioner Jennings noted that the Adopt -A -Street program has been in place eighteen years (18), currently adopted is 135 miles which equates to a mere 10 % of city streets being adopted. Commissioner Jennings suggested one way the CBC might advertise the Adopt -A -Street program is through next years Garden Show Booth. Commissioner Jennings noted on July the 26"' the KLRB Commission will be hosting the litter index. It will be from 9:00 a.m. to noon and begin at the Henson Center. It was also noted that Twin City Bank always signs on with their adjoining street with each new bank built within the City of Little Rock. Commissioner Wiedower noted that he would send an email out to remind everyone to pick up Bowman Curve. OLD BUSINESS: None NEW BUSINESS: Nomination Committee -comprised of Walter Jennings, Steve Homeyer, and Kay Tatum Commissioner Redding noted that she would suggest making sure that any/all parties ask to hold an office be ask and show an interest in the position prior to them being appointed. Landscape Ordinance -Mr. Dana Carney, Zoning & Subdivision Manager for the City of Little Rock discussed the redlined version of the laii(lscape ordinance with Beth Carpenters comments, Deputy City Attorney and presented to the CBC the Planning's Department's proposed draft revisions of the landscape ordinance. Mr. Carney, noted that the CBC would likely want to set aside time at the September CBC meeting for discussion of the proposed changes. Mr. Carney has a list of individuals, corporations, and public officials that he sends all potential changes of ordinances. Mr. Carney also recommended the CBC hold their monthly public hearing in the Board room to accommodate more people. Ms. Carpenter suggested the CBC review over the next month and vote and/or hold discussion on the staff changes next month and postpone the public hearing until such time that the CBC and city staff are in consent on the document as a whole. It was agreed that waiting one additional month was optimal giving all parties time to re - review the document. Chair Warren noted that all CBC members should review the document and send their comments to Chair Warren for compilation. Mr. Carney noted that the Planning & Development Department has decided to recommend a stand alone tree preservation ordinance iu•d oT:l :IuautuanofpV Xlsnourtuuun passed 11 pue uopom 0111 popu000s Ouippag zau0tsstunu03 TuoaaS •uznofpu o} uoilow n op-em zamopop& zauoissluzuzoo :uoi;ow •alisgam DgD oql uo lsod pinom aqs panozddr pu-e paTjezp slem zaTTal 0111 aouo WIT pa}ou uazzPm zregD •azmmu DqD age aVuz Illm oq ooujzns zajjng olulszalul u of o2uLgo pup zoj aouPizen -e pinogs `zanamoq `.aouetMIA V 2uilsonbaz zaOuol ou si dtgszalLIap agj ajvp o} su JugT paTou `Xouz-eD .JW •dtgszal-eap urezD oqj `Isonbaz aouLUEn zajjng luooaz Isom oqi jo al-epdn ur oAO XauzLD •-TW •So-eU paz I-e2al XuL,zoj zaUa1 palj-ezp aql matnaz Ii?m aqs T-Rgl palou Moog aIUI-1 Jo XTID `XauzoUV X110 �jndoC[ `za}uodiuD gjag •OuiTaaui }xau aqj It, zaIJal aq} uo aJon PUB ssnosip uogi uuo D93 aql •mainaz/juauzuzoo DUD zoJ z01401 oql Jo Ijezp oql }no IiLIuza Ilim aqs jPgT pajou uazzern ztugo : s .zajjng a}vissamid aq} u!pju at .10:40Z •aou�utpzo odeospuel oqj gjIm posodozd i?uiag so0u-ego oqi o} uoiTippP ui uoos Ji i?uinsmd uo spualul pue -
