Mr. William Coulthard, representing Mr. Charles Lasky in his request for issuance of a building permit to construct an office building on South 5th Street between the American Legion Property and the Glenn Vegas Motel, appeared before the Board at this time. Mr. Coulthard stated that his client had secured permission to use the parking lot of Terrible Herbst, said property being approximately a block away from Mr. Lasky's proposed building. Mr. Coulthard further stated that in the event this lease should not go through for some reason or other, that Mr. Hawthorne of the Hawthorne House had indicated that he would be agreeable to leasing space to Mr. Lasky for parking facilities for his tenants. Mr. Thomas Foley representing Mr. Theodore Glenn owner of the Glenn Vegas Motel and Mr. Russell Taylor on behalf of the American Legion and their tenants reiterated their protests previously stated at the meeting held July 7th.
