Planning and Zoning Meeting June 3, 2003 Page 4 Services Agency, RCD Conservation Development and Lamar County Soil Conservation are requesting to build an office building at this location. It will be one building with several offices. Alfred Mackin, Director of Lamar Soil and Water Conservation District, stated that the district wants to build a building for the Farm Service Administration and also the Natural Resource Conservation. There would be only one building, about 2 acres with 40 parking spaces on it. It would only be used for housing these offices. The building would be used 5 days a week, 8 hours a day and it would be a Federal Building. The building is being leased to the Federal Government and the district is wanting to build the building. David Basinger, Deport, Texas, Lamar County Soil and Water Conservation Chairman, spoke in favor of the petition stating that there would be only 1 or 2 front doors with all the offices working together. There will not be several offices lined up together but will be an open form. They will be out there out of the way, all the farmers can come in and out without any problems. The Loop access is very good. They are trying to building something that they can lease to the Government for so many years and then after it is paid for, the money from the lease can be put back into the community, used for scholarships and helping the people in the community on their farms. 9.
