21 — 22. Conversations have taken place with Kathleen Reavis regarding these items. Due
to the narrow north/south dimension of this lot, it was determined to be impractical to
provide an additional east/west pedestrian link, to the Senior Center and Shields, on
this property. Provisions have been made to extend the north/south walk on the west
side of the building south to the southern property line to allow for a connection to
take place on the property to the south when it redevelops in the future. It should also
be noted that what, previously appeared to be a sidewalk running through the yard to
the east screen wall was actually a concrete pad for trash cans and air conditioning
condensers at the east end. This has been better depicted on the current site plans. The
yard area is a private space used for exercising the animals and it would not be
desirable for the public to pass through this area as a pedestrian passageway.
23. Trash cans will be kept in the enclosed yard area on the south side of the building. This
location has been indicated on the enlarged site plan (sheet 2).
I believe this letter, and the enclosed plan revisions, address all of the comments. If this is
not the case please let me know so that I can provide you with any additional material you
require. Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions.
Best Regards,
Greg

6h. A light fixture has been shown on the south elevation of the building. All other
building lighting is to be in the soffits on the east and west side of the building and as
such cannot be graphically illustrated on the elevations.
6i. Dimensions are shown on the enlarged site plan (sheet 2). Please note the'scale of the
overall site plan (sheet 1) is too small to allow dimensions to be shown clearly.
6j. False fire hydrants have been shown on the site plans flanking the north and south sides
of the entry walk from the parking. Such relief areas are needed to allow the animals
to relieve themselves prior to entering the building for treatment. Furthermore the
enclosed yard on the south side of the building will be used to walk animals and allow
them to relieve themselves. Relief areas will be cleaned weekly.
7. Acknowledged, please see response letter, attached, from Stewart & Associates.
8. Acknowledged, please see response letter, attached, from Stewart & Associates.
9. Acknowledged, please see response letter, attached, from Stewart & Associates.
10. Note 9 has been revised and air conditioning condenser units have been shown, within
the yard area on the site plans. Please note that the building will make use of
residential type furnaces, which will be located inside the building.
11 a. Our research indicates that there is not an existing easement, which provides access
from Evenstar to Raintree. We are proposing such an easement in the form of an
easement on the Senior Center property and the subject property. Please see the
enclosed exhibits and legal descriptions for the easements.
1 lb. Easements have been shown on the utility plans.
11 c. We have had conversations, regarding this issue with Ward Stanford and Dave
Stringer and have been informed that the median would be a City project and would
not be the responsibility of this project other than paying the standard traffic impact
fees.
12 — 16. Please see response letter, attached, from Stewart & Associates.
17. Please see response 11 c as these two issues are directly related.
18. Acknowledged.
19. A minor amendment to the Senior Center plans is included with this submittal.
20. Acknowledged.

Dear Steve:
Thank you for your review comments dated December 23, 1999. This letter is in response
to those comments. The response numbers correspond to your comment numbers.
1. The actual use of this project is a veterinary clinic and therefore the name of the PDP
has been changed to Raintree Animal Clinic.
2. Acknowledged.
3. Acknowledged.
4a. There has been some confusion as to the actual building area proposed. Please refer to
the landuse breakdown provided on the on the site plan (sheet 1) for a breakdown of
building area. The aggregate area of the main level and upper level combined will be
less than 5,000 square feet and therefore a separation will not be required between the
floors. The basement will, however be separated from the main level with a 1-hour
separation.
4b. 6" high contrasting address numerals have been shown and noted on the east and west
building elevations.
5. Acknowledged.
6a. The actual use of this project is a veterinary clinic and therefore the name of the PDP

6c. Sign locations have been shown and indicated.
6d. Handicap ramps are labeled on the site plan (sheet 1) and are labeled and described on
the enlarged site plan (sheet 2).

overall site plan (sheet 1) is too small to allow dimensions to be shown clearly.
