b. Approval of construction plans for fourth retail building: Tower Place
Mr . Hagen said this building would be moved to the north approximately 20 feet which will add
additional parking to the south to accommodate an increased demand for parking. PUD approval
will permit cutting an access through the median adjacent to McDonald's property.
Commi ssioner Latz asked why the Boston Chicken has its entrances south and west and the theater
southeast. Mr . Hagen said the theater is facing more east and north and the entrance to Boston
Chicken does face the theater. President Hanks said the reason for the theater's orientation is
because patrons will use the clinic parking lot at the north.

requirement is that it be completed towards the end of 1995, actually November.
