We have reviewed the Amended Staff Report and Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law
and Decision & Order for the referenced development application. Although we believe
staff has addressed the conditions as approved by Planning & Zoning, they are dispersed
through out numerous exhibits and reports. As this might cause some confusion we would
like to outline our understanding of what was approved at the Planning & Zoning Hearing
for this project:
1. Notwithstanding the status of the Property as a planned development, no new
buildings are approved for construction on that part of the Property identified as
Lots 1, 2, 3, 15, and 16 on the preliminary plat attached hereto as Exhibit B except,
pursuant to an application for conditional use permit submitted to and approved by
"City" prior to submittal of any Certificate of Zoning Compliance application
and/or building permit. If the property within Overland Way Subdivision
adjoining said Lots to the north and west ceases to be used for residential purposes,
this requirement shall be deemed waived with respect to any of said Lots which
abut such adjoining property.
2. Allow five foot landscape buffer along the west perimeter oflots 13 and 14.

3. A five foot perimeter landscape buffer will be allowed for lots 1,2,3, 15 and 16

granted, or
b) Install the required landscaping for lots 1, 2, 3, 15 and 16 with all other
perimeter landscaping, and install alternative compliance landscaping upon
conditional use approval (if required). Alternative compliance will include
a 6 feet high fence and added landscaping.
4. Allow a maximum height variance of 60 feet for the hotel use.
5. Drive thrus as an allowed use for banks and restaurants.
6. Allowed uses are restaurant, retail, hotel, banks and office.
7. Alternative compliance allowing for the right-in-only entrance off of Eagle Road
to be considered part of the 35 foot wide landscape buffer. .
8. Allow a detached sidewalk to be consideredpart of the 35 foot wide landscape
buffer along Eagle.
9. Applicant agreed to a development agreement.
10. Applicant will provide a plan for an amenity showing elevations and dimensions
prior to City Council hearing.
