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.

Please note the acceptable run-on ratio for final design. Please also review the paver detail provided and add an underdrain if possible. The proposed tree wells in the drainage report appear to be in the right of way; LID techniques such as this cannot count toward treating private development as it is in a public space.

Members expressed some concern about the stepback of the top portion of the distillery tower and the window patterning, and referenced an Italianate-inspired industrial tower example provided by the applicant as design inspiration for adjustments that would be more compatible with the historic district. Comment Number: 7 Comment Originated: 03/11/2016 03/11/2016: LPC members expressed some concern about the quantity of metal material on the distillery building's south elevation, particularly because it abuts the brick Depot building to the south.

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. Topic: General Comment Number: S Comment Originated: 10/15/2014 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.

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.
