employees coast to coast in the U.S. and Canada. They now
occupy a 15, 000 square foot building and they need addi-
tional space in order to continue to grow successfully.

There are two (2) soldier courses of brick running around
the building and an arched soldier course at each entry
canopy. They did not plan to change the colors of the
brick and the reveal will be recessed one half inch (1/2") .
Com. Cea and Ch. Gordon asked if they would consider the
use of darker brick for the soldier courses to give more
definition.
Mr. Freiberg and Mrs . Walsh said this was discussed and
they decided that there was enough variation in the color
of the textured brick with the light mortar and the red
glass to give the building more elegant character.
Com. Cea suggested recessing the soldier courses one
inch (1”) and recessing the windows eight inches
(8" ) by reversing the window frames to give deeper
shadow lines .
Mr. Freiberg and Mrs . Walsh had no objection to these
modifications and agreed it was a good suggestion.
Com. Viehman made a motion to recommend approval of the
IPA building at 1520 Barclay Boulevard, Lot 20 at Arbor
Creek Centre V in the Corporate Grove Industrial Park,
as presented by Klefstad Companies, with the following
stipulations :
1 . The brick soldier courses are to be recessed
one inch (1" ) .
2 . The windows are to be recessed eiant inches
