10/14/2014: The study indicates that intersections 'operate acceptably' with
existing and future geometry. Please provide an addendum to the study to
address what geometry is warranted per the LCUASS standards - both in terms
of LOS and the geometric warrants for turn lanes. If auxiliary lanes are
warranted with the Old Elk traffic - especially at Lincoln and Willow then that
needs to be discussed.

03/27/2016: Under the premise that it is accepted that the determination of
pavement is not in the ultimate condition, this comment would no longer apply.
Otherwise, the classification of Willow Street is a minor collector and would
need to have a minimum K value of 60 in the sag condition, a K value of 35 was
provided. The flowline for the north side is required in order to provide further
evidence that the interim is designed to an ultimate design for both sides of the
street.
01/05/2016: This comment remains unresolved, but can be addressed at time
of final. A flowline profile for the north side of Willow Street in the ultimate was
not provided and vertical curve lengths and K-values are short of Figure 7-18
and Table 7-3.
12/03/2014: The ultimate design for Willow Street should be showing the left
flowline in addition to the centerline and right flowline. The current design shows
vertical curves in the sag and crest condition that do not meet minimum
LCUASS requirements for vertical curves (minimum K values of 60). The design
should be utilizing K values of 60 in the sag and crest condition.

03/27/2016: Based on the premise of the interim and ultimate cross sections
not coinciding, needing an overlay for the pavement, the ultimate construction
for pavement cannot be established as verified by our Director. The project
would need to provide a local street portion of pavement (13 feet in width) along
its frontage based on the current design. The Director is open to an approach
however where a temporary pavement subgrade section is established (through
a recommendation by the Geotech engineer), as a cost saving measure,
realizing that a future road reconstruct (likely by the City) would occur in the
future, yet still having established that the sidewalk and curb and gutter is in the
ultimate condition.
01/05/2016: Carried over just for acknowledgment of the acknowledgement. I'm
again presently viewing that the Willow Street frontage work is interim in its
present design.
12/03/2014: Carried over, just for indication that it again appears that the local
street portion of pavement for Lot 1 will need to be provided with the interim
paving not coinciding with the ultimate paving.
10/15/2014: Under the presumption that ultimate curb, gutter and sidewalk is
installed along Willow Street, the local street portion of curb, gutter and sidewalk
is satisfied, with the City reimbursing .5 feet of sidewalk width. Depending on
whether Willow Street pavement is correspondingly installed in what can be
determined is the ultimate location and at local street width will determine
whether local street pavement obligation is satisfied or would need to have an
established repay collected. The Linden Street repay for the local street portion
is required and indicated in the development agreement for the project.

03/23/2016: There appears to be a trash enclosure along Willow Street.
Please note that Section 3.5.1(J)(1) requires that trash enclosures must not be
located within 20 feet of any public street or public sidewalk. And, the
street -facing enclosure appears to match the iron pickets whereas the screen
should be solid. Also, the gate may have to be a slider so that doors do not
swing out over the sidewalk. If this is the only practical location, then let's
discuss how best to mitigate with appropriate exterior materials.
