I am in the process of requesting permission to fly at a Towered
Airport
with a Motorglider.

Why are you asking permission? "A meeting of the minds" might
possibly
be in order, but I know of no requirement for you to ask permission to fly
anywhere if you have the required equipment. If you do, then you should
be
asking for a specific waiver from a specific FAR.

Take this from someone who has made a serious study of Public
Administration, approach these people (if you must) as a customer and
discuss your mutual needs, abilities and resources; but ask for no
unneeded
"permission".

Agree - just call for a landing or takeoff clearance in the same fashion as
any powered aircraft would. Most light aircraft fly the patterns at around
65 or less just as you would. Keep in mind that you being considerate of the
operations in desiring to better coordinate so as to minimize any adverse
impacts. The tower has no authority to deny you operational access!
