Mr. Klien presented a photograph showing that element. M-r. Yager explained at the last Yneeting he suggested, due to the depth from Great Northern Blvd., using a more dynamic element for the mountain scape that can become a part of the building.

Klien noted the focal point of the portico is the entrance way, but did not have a problem enlarging it slightly. Mr. Liggett did not mind the mountains being incorporated, but noted the proposal appears incomplete as there is no definite starting or stopping point.
