Dear Ted;
Attached are five prints of the Tower Shoppes at Pinecone Preliminary PUD Plan,
revised in response to Staff Comments. Specific responses include:
1 .- 3. Required easements have been added to the plan and will be included on the
final plat. Clearance between trees and utility lines and/or street lights will be
indicated on the Final PUD.
4.- 7. Building and Health Code requirements will be reviewed in detail with final
architectural plans and the final PUD. We would like to request that the
Building Inspection Department provide us with a copy of the handicapped
parking requirements as per our conversation at conceptual review.
8. RBD is working with the School District's engineers to verify the capacity of the
shared pond on the school site. We do not believe that the Tower Shoppes is
inconsistent with the approved Master Drainage Plan for Pinecone.
9.- 10. We feel that we have created some very strong pedestrian elements with the
proposed plan; particularly with the central spine through the parking lot (as
suggested by Staff). Rather than duplicate the oversized walkway along
Timberline with another, parallel strip of concrete, we have chosen to increase
the standard offset of the walk from the roadway. The requested sidewalk
connection from pad C to the walkway serving the transit stop has been added
as requested.
11. Additional street trees have been shown. Please understand that we are
attempting to make the Tower Shoppes landscape treatment compatible with
that of the high school.
12. We have adjusted our preliminary plans to allow a continuous canopy along the
west facade. However, we are concerned that this element may detract from
our efforts to blend with the high school architecture. We would like to reserve
the right to further evaluate this and other architectural details at the time of
final plans.
13. We have included the appropriate ramps on the Tower Shoppes property. The
desirability of making the service/loading area attractive to pedestrian traffic
may be questionable.

14. The proposed 54' service lane width has been reduced to the extent practical.
15. Arctic Fox Drive has been labeled as requested.
Ten sets of prints, reductions, and color renderings will be submitted by July 18th.
We appreciate your assistance in the planning of this project. Please call if you need
further information regarding the Tower Shoppes at Pinecone PUD.
