Uh sixth principal meridian property located at 470 East 56th Street. Morning. Good morning. Uh my name is Aaron Hartongue with the Clark Anderson Partners from Lincoln, Nebraska, 1010 Lincoln Mall, Suite 200. Uh I'm here on behalf of Farm Credit Services, uh, our client. I and I am uh the architect director for the job. So in the coordinating professional. Um I didn't realize I was gonna have to present the whole project. I really felt like uh Colette's uh description in the uh application was very accurate. It's uh essentially a single story um what our client calls their retail office building, and it's where they financial officers and financial specialists, crop insurance and that kind of uh work goes on. There's no cash involved in the it's not a bank, even though it's farm credit services, and uh I guess where would I begin? Yeah, we we talked about the location, um the description of the building, we call it a prairie style. It is a brick clad limestone band, um hip roof with large overhangs, cedar trims on the outside, and uh it's brick all the way around. They're very nice buildings. They uh uh I don't know, guess kind of a bit of history. I've been working with them for going on 20 years, and uh when I got to 50 of these, I quit counting. And uh so I think this is fifty-four. We have one under construction in Imperial. So we kind of uh I guess long story short, in terms of going through all of the particulars and details. We have a very unfair advantage, but we have a clear idea where we're going. So like I guess to make it short and sweet, I just if anybody has any particular questions about this project, um can answer some questions real quick. Um we have the notes provided by the city. I'm sure this probably originated from the um DR DRT uh meetings. Correct.
