UVGt,,...(. herar From: Lynn Koerner [mailto:lynnk@shentel.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 7:48 AM To: Mark Cheran Subject: 532 - North Armel - Tower Application Mark: I have the comment sheets out to the various agencies for review and comment. I am working on the application and have a couple questions. Timber Ridge Ministries is not taxed on real estate. Treasurer's Office only had vehicles on record. In accordance with the instructions, I am to obtain a statement from the Treasurer's Office verifying the taxes have been paid. Do I just note someplace on the application that they are tax exempt, or how would you like that handled? Also, when I submit the packet, How many copies of the drawings do you need? I seem to recall that previously I submitted 15? Let me know so I have the correct number for you. Lynn PS: Found the 04-09 application and minutes to the meeting for the approval of the FAA tower on Marcel Drive_ I will include that information in my justification of the site.
