A preliminary walk occurred with the City Forester to review existing trees and impact from the proposed construction. 1. Provide in the next submittal a table listing all of the existing significant trees. Each significant tree should be numbered and include information on species, size, condition, and intent to either remove, transplant or protect. Also provide in the table the number of mitigation trees required for any significant tree proposed to be removed and for trees to be protected. Required mitigation trees should be upsized based on tree type. Shade Tree 3 inch caliper Ornamental Tree 2.5 inch caliper Evergreen Tree 8 feet height 2. Please provide a statement of why existing significant trees would need to be removed on the current proposed plan. Existing significant trees need to be retained to the extent reasonably feasible. Where it is not feasible to protect and retain then they need to be replaced with upsized mitigation trees. 3. Required mitigation trees should be kept on site if possible and can be used to meet landscape requirements. Offsite mitigation needs to occur within one quarter mile. 4. The proposed sidewalk running north and south on the west side of the east honeylocust in front of the building appears to be only a few feet from the trunk of the tree. Pursue a design for the walk that minimizes excavation into the root system, and or shifts the walk to the west further away from the tree.

The site, landscape and construction plans show this line but does not label it, while also showing a more prominent (thicker and dashed) line without indicating what this line is intended to represent (a "PDP" boundary?) There needs to be coordination/verification on the intent of the lines shown on the drawings.

The City's view is that (per the Conceptual Review comments) an attached sidewalk matching the Campus West Redevelopment is the ideal specification for an attached sidewalk. This sidewalk dimension for the Campus West Redevelopment is 12 feet and ideally this proposal should match this width (and is also the proposed width of the redevelopment property next door). The site visit with Northern and Brinkman identified some potential restriction points to meeting the ideal width: the tree in front of the Wendy's and a light pole along with a fire hydrant. We were realizing that the tree in front of Wendy's would likely need to narrow from an ideal width in order to not impact the tree but thought that the 12 foot width could be likely achieved along the rest of the corridor. The light pole and fire hydrant, while being existing restriction points, we did not necessarily conclude that these appurtenances could stay as is. With the drawing submitted it shows that with the 8 foot attached sidewalk, the light pole would be fully in the sidewalk and the fire hydrant is partially in the sidewalk as well. The City would conclude that these appurtenances should be moved as they're awkwardly situated in the 8 foot attached sidewalk, which would have the design then look towards more of the ideal sidewalk width. (Doug Martine with Light and Power noted that the cost to move the pole so it's not within/abutting the sidewalk is no different to achieve 2 foot separation from the proposed 8 foot sidewalk to vs. a more ideal sidewalk width with further separation.) We would need to evaluate any proposal that does not incorporate the 12' attached sidewalk through a variance request in coordination with Planning. Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 04/04/2012 04/04/2012: The proposed 9 feet of additional right-of-way wouldn't be needed in its entirety. The amount of right-of-way needed would only need to coincide with the back of sidewalk ultimately decided to and agreed upon to be built per ID#3 (with the exception that Light and Power and Water/Wastewater would need additional easement or right-of-way for relocated appurtenances). Adhering to the 9 feet of additional right-of-way would appear to be problematic in that part of the Wendy's patio would fall within this additional right-of-way. Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 04/04/2012 04/04/2012: Both drive approaches would need to have additional concrete added in order for the sidewalk to lead to a concrete section, not partial concrete/asphalt. The access ramp leading to a curb for the eastern exit driveway is awkward as well with the curb needing to be pulled back.

Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 04/03/2012 04/03/2012: The development at 1401 W. Elizabeth is currently in the development review process and proposing a 12' sidewalk. As proposed, the firehydrant is abutting the sidewalk and needs to be 2' from the walk and the existing metal light pole in located within the sidewalk. Both the hydrant and the lightpole should be moved back and the sidewalk width increased. While the full 12' walk may not be an option, we are suggesting that 10' may be more appropriate in this case. A variance request is still required for a 10' walk.
