P COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Building Permit October 22, 1974 Request: Council authorization of building permit for new industrial building Applicant: Trend Enterprises Location: 300 - 9th Ave. .SW Size of Buildinq: Office - 84' x 1101 Plant (Phase I)-1621 x 347' Exterior Treatment: Office - brick and copper panels Plant - textured concrete panels Discussion: The applicant is a firm which makes educational materials for early childhood education.
