Meg Haley - From: Meg Hatey Sent: l'hursday, January 14, 2010 12:27 PM To: Nieis Tygesen Cc: Gerry Ervine; Kirk Brooks Subject: RE: 2728 Rucker Avenue Hi Niels, I should have clarified to you that while I was�vorking with the owner on the exemption status, i wanted to get your feedback on the requirement for the windovi display for a leased space that looked empty. This was an unusual case, thatisforsure! I did meet with the owner and the tenant yesterday aftemoon to discuss the exemption from vacancy registration,and the exe�iption form was completed yesterday at th��field meeting at 3:30pm. 7he space is leased, but the tenant has not yet ocwpied the front office. long story short: the tenant has been trying to sublease it without suaess,so the tenant is going to move their construction office from Colby to 2728 Rucker in a couple months. Jack Lacasse,the tenant, is the husband of the woman that nins the 7 3 Eluffalo coffee stand. 1"hey also use the buiiding for coffee storage and equipment for his construction business(not��isible from the street). I asked the tenant if they could work with you on a window display. The soace is se: up beautifully with a wall hiding the storzge behind it, and it is going to be an office in April. My understanding is that the tenant is going to put up an art display to satisfy[he window display requirement,and then call for field review.

The main structure built in i945� Z7z$ Rucker, i; still curmntly vacant. While there I spoke with a coffce attendant at the coffee stand,z7z6 Rucker,she said she did not know of plans to use the main structure as a cafc,but that the owners were working on the building and planning to lease it out. The Assessors listed the use as commercial, 'Pacific Garages', I spokc with the City Clerk's this moming confirming thcy were at that location till Zoo9. I do�ot see a current permit on PermitTrak for a TI or change of�se from commcrcial to�estaurant. I would suggest they file for an exemption if the owners am actively trying to lease the space,and they will need to do some sort of window treatment The aesthetics of the bldg's physical maintenance looks ok to me.
