On page D1.o under the "Site Demolition Notes", number 26 just says "Trash Receptacle" with no notes corresponding. The trash receptacles belong to the Library District, so I think that it should be noted that they should be returned to the Library District. 3. I don't know what the status is for annual flower planting in the landscape pots - we have chosen not to plant annual landscape pots at other locations this year due to the drought implications. I wasn't sure if we wanted to suggest that protocol in this location or not. Also, I didn't see a spec for the fill material for the landscape pots. �� �S�� 7 4. I am not sure if there is enough space for the r�located perennial plants from the front flagpole bed to be transplanted to the Butterfly Garden. If not, we may have to look at alternate locations such as the Museum Courtyard? 5. I would like to see a trash receptacle with a ^ i urn on the top. The one that is spec'd doesn't have one, and the amount of cigarette butts at this location is high. If there isn't a way to incorporate a cig urn into the trash can, an attempt should be made to install freestanding, permanently affixed cig urns in the vicinity of the trash receptacles. 6. S3.0 says cut and cap all irrigation that is damaged. Can the contractor please coordinate with Parks staff immediately if such events occur to reduce irrigation down time and miscommunications. It will be vital that repairs be completed as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have questions.

We did identify a few small adjustments to help protect existing from excavation to install plants under the canopy. Also there are a couple of other detail items. 1. In the landscape areas along Peterson, except in the south most areas where existing trees are small, position 1 gallon plants 8 feet from trees and the 2.25 inch ground cover 4 feet from existing trees. 2. In the landscape area around the 2 existing spruce please use only 1 gallon material. 3. Under the Tree of Heaven on the north side of the entrance change shrubs under the canopy of this tree to 1 gallon. 4. At the SE corner of the building please keep relocated plants 7 feet away from the existing Maple. 5. We would like to verify that irrigation in the new planting beds is all drip irrigation? 6. A plant used in the north most landscape area along Peterson is labeled MAR but does not appear to be identified in the Plant list. 7. The foot note under the plant list talks about the City Forestry Division providing the two Skyline honeylocust but the correlating foot note in the plant list is by potentilla and not honeylocust. Thanks Tim To: John Klingaman; Tim Buchanan; Jeff County; Randy Hensley Cc: Bill Whirty; Craig Foreman; Steve Lukowski; daman hollanderipleydesigninc.com; Ward Stanford Subject: Old Town Library Plaza Streetscape Improvements All, Attached is the most current plan set for the Old Town Library Streetscape Improvements Project located at 201 Peterson St. Also attached is a copy of the most recent comments related to the project from 9/18/2012. Please review the plan set and let me know if there are any additional changes, modifications or comments that need to be added to the plan set prior to final signature and recordation. This is the Final Review of the project and the last chance for modifications before the project is released for construction. Please review and let me know if there are any issues no later than February 21, 2013. If I do not hear anything back by this date I will assume that you do not have any objections to the project. Please note that sheets G1(General Notes), D1(Demo Sheet), S2 (Site Plan North), L2 (Landscape Plan North), and SD2 (Site Details) have already been approved and signed on 11/20/2012. We can add to or modify these already approved plans if absolutely necessary but I assume they are ok as they have been signed and released for minor construction of the chess board installation. Also, there is a recent minor revision to sheets S3 and S4 (see cloud on sheets) in the plaza area where the approach had previously exceeded 5% grade. ■ Tyler Siegmund From: Daman Holland<daman.holland@ripleydesigninc.com> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2012 12:49 PM To: Tyler Siegmund Subject: Old Town Library - Plaza & Streetscape Improvements Attachments: OLD TOWN LIBRARY_09-10-2012.pdf Tyler, Attached are our updated plans per your comments and redlines. Keith Meyer will be contacting you and Rick Richter about the construction permit & security, easements, and the notes you provided as they relate to our general conditions and DCP issues. Keith is meeting with the Library Board today and should be contacting you in the next few days. Please let me know if you need a hard copy or anything else. As a rundown to your comments: 1. Provided notes were added to sheet G1 2. Provided note was added to sheets: G1, D1, S1 & S2 3. A 6 foot transition was added to the handicap ramps 4. Dimensions were added 5. Grading levels were corrected 6. Keith Meyer with Ditesco will be contacting you concerning the access easements 7. Keith Meyer with Ditesco will provide the encroachment permit 8. The Peterson access was altered as requested. The spaces and isles were reconfigured to provide curb at car wheel for all spaces, and gain curb separation between ramps. 9. The existing and altered parking striping was updated on all sheets 10. Keith Meyer with Ditesco will be contacting you concerning the construction permit and security 11. Details were revised and added to the detail sheets SD1, SD2 & SD3 Thanks, Daman Tyler Siegmund From: John Klingaman Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2012 11:15 AM W 0- To: Tyler Siegmund Cc: Steve Lukowski Subject: Library Construction notes Hi Tyler, Steve Lukowski and I met with Damon Holland, Ripley Design, and discussed some of the landscape plans from a maintenance standpoint a few weeks ago. A few notes that I would make additionally: 1 We haven't seen any irrigation design or irrigation notes. The new landscape design will demand significant re -design of the existing turf irrigation zone along Peterson St., a new valve for the shrub beds and a new valve installed for the annual pots. 2. The benches to be moved from existing locations in the park to the new chessboard are memorial benches. I am not sure about the sensitivity of the families to movement. It may be worth checking into if that hasn't happened already. Irrigation sleeves will have to be installed under the new concrete. Locations will depend on design of the irrigation system, but will have to be determined before concrete is poured. 4.— Plant label PAN on page 1.1.0 (southern most shrub bed) doesn't correspond to anything on the plant list. 5. We would like to see the landscape boulder (#2) moved towards the full circle shrub bed in the front entrance space. it currently is positioned out into the concrete and will cause maintenance concerns for snow removal and traffic patterns. 6. If there are additional plans for an amphitheater towards the rear of the building on the North side by the drive, they should also include significant irrigation re -design. At that point, it may be advisable to re -visit the idea of an irrigation retro-fit to update the aging underground infrastructure surrounding the Library.

Your comments are noted and I will pass them along to the Library District's design team. Randy, there are currently (3) handicap spaces existing. They are proposing (3) to remain but I can have them add a fourth just north of the smaller ramp if that is what you would like to see (that spot is currently proposed for the book drop off space). Also, if you look closely they do identify sign placement on the site plan, labeled HS (handicap sign), PS (parking sign) and BDS (book drop sign). I know it is confusing, it took me a while to realize what there were calling out. Anyways, it seems that the sign placement is to remain as is except for at the new handicap ramp designs. They have them dimensioned 7ft back from flow line but I believe we have been placing them 4ft back of flow line (or to align with existing street trees) in the downtown area? And they are not centered on the centerline diagonal, thank you I will have them revise this. Ward, I will have them make the change to "Local Entity Traffic Engineer". Good question about the proposed plantings, what I understand from sheet S1 is that directly south of the handicap ramps and at the corner ramps washed river rock cobble mix placed flush with the ground and 2-2.5ft tall granite river boulders are to be placed on top of the river rock. I will definitely bring up the question to confirm that there is nothing planted here that will block the sight distance. Do you think that 2- 2.5ft tall granite boulders would cause a sight distance problem? Thank you again for both of your input. If you think of anything else please contact me.

It appears there may be four handicap spaces, but only three of the spaces have the handicap symbol. Could you confirm that the fourth space just to the north of the smaller ramp is also a handicap space, and if so, it should have a pavement marking. 2. 1 don't see a sign plan, so not sure what the sign placement will be, so here's a few things to keep in mind. Currently, there is a five-minute book drop-off space. 1 assume the Library wants to retain that space. Need to make sure that sign is properly placed, preferably on the centerline diagonal of that space. Each Handicap space should have a sign located on the centerline diagonal of each space, and include the standard handicap sign plus fine amount. Finally, assuming the remainder of the block will remain as time -limited spaces, we will need the time -limit signs reinstalled to properly bracket each end of the time -limit areas, with an appropriate number of intervening time -limit signs spaced no more that 4-5 spaces apart. That's it for me.

Are the plantings immediately south of the front Handicapped ramps low enough to not create a visibility issue between cyclists/runners on the sidewalk and a person coming up the ramp in a wheel chair?
