Dear Mr. Close
This is a follow-on inquiry regarding the subject development. The Barbee Mill HOA has
continued to study the subject property and would like to request more detailed information
regarding Lake Washington Boulevard adjacent to our community as well as the added
roundabout at N 43rd street.
Currently there are trees and shrubs associated with these roadways. In studying the material
submitted by HLR Architects it is not clear how this area will be affected and restored. The
Landscape Schematic and Tree Retention Plan appear to lack treatment regarding the west side
of Lake Washington Boulevard. We believe this to be an oversight as it appears the roundabout
will disturb the landscaping. It is also believed that the addition of trees to the west side would
offset the loss of trees on the existing property, to the east of Lake Washington Boulevard.
Attached you will find an aerial photo of the area of concern along with two depictions from
HLR Architects materials with the area of concern highlighted with a red boundary.
We look forward to learning more regarding treatment of landscaping along Lake Washington
Boulevard and N 43rd street
Regards
Geary Long
