Comment Number: 22 Comment Originated: 12/03/2014
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.
Response: As you suggested, we will resolve this comment with final compliance. I believe there is
some confusion on the Willow roadway classification that we need to confirm to address the K-values.
Regarding the “left” (aka-North) flowline profile, in our past experience, flowline designs have not been
required for future improvements, only centerlines, but again, we can work through this detail at final.
Topic: General
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014
01/05/2016: Please (still) remove all indications of bike parking in right-of-way.
12/03/2014: Bike parking in right-of-way shown on the site plan should be
removed as any bike parking in right-of-way is approved through a separate
process outside of the development plan. Since these are approved via a
revocable permit, it's indication on the site plan would be contradictory.
10/15/2014: The site plan shows the placement of bike racks along the Willow
Street sidewalk. These bike racks appear to be bike racks that are required
under the Land Use Code and when required by code, would need to be
located outside of public right-of-way.
Response: Indications of bike parking in the ROW have been removed from the plan and land use chart.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014
01/05/2016: The response indicates that the design for Willow has been
revised. How was the design revised from the previous submittal? From looking
at the present submittal, the findings appear to be similar as previously
commented, the interim design looks acceptable from a preliminary standpoint.
The pavement appears to be interim and would be removed in the ultimate
condition, requiring the local street portion of Willow abutting Lot 1.
12/03/2014: In general the information provided appears to be acceptable. The
interim cross sections should however be providing existing cross slopes to
compare how the new pavement section ties into existing. With the interim
cross-sections appearing to not match with the ultimate, it would be viewed that
the new pavement is interim and would be removed in the ultimate condition,
requiring the escrow of pavement for the local street portion abutting Lot 1.
10/15/2014: The development plan needs to provide information on how, (with
3
the curb and gutter being installed along Willow Street), would the street layout
work from a horizontal and vertical perspective. What would be the striping,
parking, bike and travel lane operation for the full Willow Street resulting from
this (horizontal control/striping plan) with the railroad track in mind? How will
(from a preliminary design information standpoint at this time) the roadway drain
and provide typical cross-sections along Willow Street for this.
Response: It appears that our previous response was copied from another comment and not properly
updated. The Willow Street design remains unchanged from the previous submittal, however we have
added the requested cross slope labels. The pavement that is proposed would not be interim in our view.
Instead, it would simply need to be milled slightly and could then be overlaid with the final lift for the
ultimate Willow improvements.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014
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.
Response: Understood. Again, we believe that the pavement that is proposed would not be interim.
Instead, it would simply need to be milled slightly and could then be overlaid with the final lift for the
ultimate Willow improvements.
Comment Number: 25 Comment Originated: 01/05/2016
01/05/2016: I'd like to confirm my recollection of the project's intention in that
access across Lot 2 from Lot 1 of the site development plan is not intended,
and Lot 2 will not be altered or accessed? Under this presumption, and in
coordinating with the "Not a Part of PDP" indication on Lot 2 of the drawings, I
would take the approach that the development agreement for the project would
only apply and be subject to Lot 1 of the subdivision plat.
Response: Your recollection is correct. The access to and from Lot 1 is intended to be provided from Lot
1 only.

Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014
10/14/2014:
Overall, staff is very pleased with this project and its ability to largely meet the
intent and provision of the R-D-R Zone District Design Standards and
Guidelines and its compatibility with the surrounding Old Town National
Register Historic District. The step backs, articulation, and differentiation
through the use of durable and high-quality materials all aid in breaking up the
building¿s large massing and assist in its compatibility with the surrounding
historic agricultural/industrial context.
Previous Response on 11/12/2014:
Thank you for the affirmation and support of our design and intent to comply with the
recently adopted R-D-R Design Standards and Guidelines
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014
10/14/2014:
Staff has concerns regarding the design of the "pub" element on the building¿s
southwest corner. This section of the building does not appear to meet the
design intent of the R-D-R Zone, and is not in line with the agricultural/industrial
vision for this industrial district. It is important to note that in its discussions
5
regarding the R-D-R Zone District Design Guidelines and Standards, City
Council was very clear about its desire to see projects in the area be authentic
to the existing historic industrial/agricultural character of this district, rather than
the commercial character found in the historic buildings on the other side of
Jefferson in the Old Town Historic District. This vision - which is articulated in
the R-D-R Zone District Design Guidelines - describes the inappropriateness of
elaborate architectural treatments such as decorative cornices, moldings, door
and window surrounds, and awnings, in favor of simple, even austere, elements.
Additionally, the pub appears to be closely mimicking a faux historic building,
one that would not have been built in this District. Buildings and stylistic
components should take reference from the historic character of this District,
while still clearly distinguishable as products of their own time.
Response:
The design of the pub element will be further discussed in the upcoming LPC Hearing on March 9th
. As we
continue to study and evolve the design of the Pub element along Linden to provide the appropriate
architectural character and its integration into the building and the character of this district, it is with the
understanding that this portion of the site also resides within the Old Town Historic District Boundary per
the District Geographic Boundaries Map.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/14/2014
Before the project is ready for Hearing, it will need to recieve a
recommendation from the Landmark Preservation Commission to the Decision
Maker.
Response: Previous Response on 11/12/2014:
The exterior design will be presented to the Landmark Preservation Commission for comment and approval
prior to the Hearing.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 12/01/2014
12/01/2014:
Concerns remain regarding the "pub" element on the Linden Street elevation
and its compatibility/appropriateness to the R-D-R Zone District, and that it
does not meet the intent of the zone district's Design Guidelines and Standards.
Additional information on the character and detail of this building has been
requested of the applicant. Staff looks forward to receiving this information once
it becomes available.
Response: Previous Response on 12/02/2015:
As we continue to evolve the design of the Pub and integrate design feedback from the Landmark
Preservation Commission Meeting, we will provide additional character and detail of this element to Staff.

10/15/2014: Light and Power will need a completed C-1 form indicating size
and type of electric power needed. We will also need to coordinate a
transformer location that is within 10' of a paved surface and accessible by a line
truck.
Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014
10/15/2014: Power will be coming from Lincoln Ave. in order to avoid tearing
up new facilities in Linden St. We will need to coordinate a route for the power
to take. Two possible routes include along Lincoln and Willow to get to the
property site or through the property access on Lincoln Ave. Light and Power
will work with the property developer/owner to obtain easements if necessary.
Response: Acknowledged.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 10/15/2014
10/15/2014: We will need to coordinate streetlighting with street trees. Large
shade trees need to be at least 40' from streetlights and ornamental trees need
to be at least 15' from the lights.
Response: The location of the streetlight along Willow Street was previously coordinated with Light and
Power. Smaller ornamental trees are being proposed in the grates adjacent to the streetlight in order to
satisfy clearances. Please let me know if a different location for the light is preferred.

12/05/2014: FIRE ACCESS
> The concept plan for the dead-ended EAE on the east side of the building
with no turnaround is acceptable in principle; however the proposed width of 15’
remains a question. PFA recognizes the delivery and alcohol storage area is
notably constrained and not many options are available for widening the EAE
under the current plan. PFA wishes to table review of the EAE width until other
questions regarding the overall building plan and distillery operation are flushed
out so it can be evaluated holistically. Should the project team find it possible to
increase the EAE width, PFA is available to revisit this subject sooner.
> The submitted plans continue to detail Willow Street with center parking (see
both "Cover Sheet and "Willow Street Striping Plan"). PFA will continue to work
8
with city staff to resolve the conflict with the ultimate design plan for Willow
Street but as the proposed building height is a condition of aerial apparatus
access, it seems appropriate that long term references to center parking be
removed from the plan sets.
10/14/2014: Potential problems exist for meeting access requirements. Further
discussion is needed for this site.
> FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS. The proposed 20' EAE on the east side of
the building appears to be in conflict with deliveries and loading/off-loading of
large trucks. Fire lanes are to maintain the required 20 foot minimum
unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance at all times.
> AERIAL FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS. In order to determining if aerial
apparatus access requirements can be met at this site, details need to include
the ultimate width of Willow Street and if parking is being allowed on either side
or down the center of the street. Recent discussions have suggested that a
redesign of Willow Street may limit your building height to a maximum of 30'.
> ROOF ACCESS. Depending on the design and function of the tower element,
roof access may be required. New buildings four or more stories in height shall
be provided with a stairway to the roof. Stairway access to the roof shall be in
accordance with IFC 1009.12. Such stairways shall be marked at street and
floor levels with a sign indicating that the stairway continues to the roof.
Response:
The design team met with PFA to address many of these issues on 11.05.2014 with follow up meetings
relating to the updated design on 12.07.2015 and 02.22.2016 and have provided the following revisions to
address the above concerns:
Fire Truck Access has been provided with 2 Fire staging locations, 1 along Linden at the Southwest corner
of the site and the other along Willow at the Northeast corner of the site. In addition a dedicated access
lane to provide an unobstructed path for fire truck access has been provided beyond the loading/unloading
trucks for the facility. This fire lane will reside within a 16’ emergency access easement per the request of
PFA and has an unobstructed overhead clearance that is greater than 14’.
Aerial Fire Apparatus Access was discussed with the consideration of diagonal street parking along the
Willow Street curb and no center parking as PFA expressed that their apparatus access aerial angles
would likely be sufficient with the proposed layout and current eave heights of the building.
Roof Access will be provided from an internal building stairway with an access hatch and alternating tread
device to the roof. This stairway will be provided with the required code signage indicating its roof access.
Willow Street Improvements: The center parking layout along Willow has been removed from the submitted
plans.

All perimeter gates shall be appropriately designed for emergency egress but
must also be approved for fire department ingress/access needs.
Response:
Per discussion with PFA on 02.22.2016, the courtyard gates will be equipped with the appropriate panic
hardware for emergency egress. Additionally measures will be taken to assure fire department access
will be provided in the form of a knox box master key access.

Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/05/2016
01/05/2016: BUILDINGS EXCEEDING THREE STORIES OR 30 FEET IN
HEIGHT
The Willow Street Striping Plan shows the building to be setback 35-37' from
the closest point of available fire access. Buildings exceeding 30' in height
prompt additional fire access needs for aerial fire apparatus placement and
operations. Up to date building elevations will be needed to evaluate if this
requirement is being met. Please refer to comment 1, above for more details.
Response:
Per meeting with PFA on 02.22.2016 Aerial Fire Apparatus Access was discussed with the consideration of
diagonal street parking along the Willow Street curb and no center parking as PFA expressed that their
apparatus access aerial angles would likely be sufficient with the proposed layout and current eave heights
of the building.

12/29/2015: Where will the public bike parking be located? There appears to
be some bike parking in the back (for employees?) and some shown in the
public right of way. Additional parking on the applicants property may be
needed.
Response: The 26 spaces located near the service area are for employees. For public spaces, there will
be at least 2 located indoors, and at least 24 spaces located within the public right-of-way (that will
require a separate encroachment permit). Also, 8 new spaces have been added in the publicly
accessible alcove to the south of building 1.

12/29/2015: This comment was made a year ago when the assumption was
that the Lincoln Corridor Plan would be improving the intersection of Lincoln and
Willow. The current funding for the Lincoln Corridor Project doesn't include this
intersection. Further discussions are needed about next steps.
12/02/2014: The addendum is received and accepted. At this time, no off-site
traffic-related improvements are anticipated to be required with the project.
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.
Response: The addendum memorandum, dated November 4, 2014, addressed the operation of the
Lincoln/Willow intersection with the existing geometry and the improved geometry (shown in the Lincoln
Corridor Plan). Acceptable operation was achieved under both circumstances. Since this intersection
was not included in the Lincoln Corridor Plan funding, the City has requested further discussions with
regard to the next steps to achieve/implement the improvements. It is expected that this development
will be involved in those discussions.
