Topic: Building Elevations
Please provide color builiding elevations and a materials page that shows actual photographs
of the proposed materials. Pages with 3D views of the buildings would also be helpful. For
the Lot 3 architecture, please show footprints that are more detailed that illustrate the recesses
and projections in the elevations.
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/22/2013
The building elevations for Lot 3 may need more articulation in some areas in order to satisfy
the Land Use Code standards in 3.5.3. We suggest a meeting to discuss this in more detail.

Add a note to the site plan S1 that building square footages shown on the plans represent the
building footprint area, and not the area of the building envelopes. This seems to be the case
for all of the building footprints except for the two future footprints to the west, where the 100,000

01/23/2013: Link N Greens Request for Variance #1 – Driveway Curb Return Radii
We do not believe that the following two turning template drawings are realistic and need to be
redone. 1. The right turn movement into the ¾ access point on Lemay Ave. It is not desirable
nor is it safe for a vehicle to turn from the outside travel lane across the other travel lane, the
bike lane and the right turn lane to enter into the site. It maybe that the driveway width needs to
be widened and/or shown that the turn can be made by encroaching into the exit lane. 2. The
right turn movement into the driveway off of Lincoln. It needs to be shown that the turn can be
made from the travel lane, bike lane or left turn lane not the center turn lane since this will likely
be a raised median in the future and not available for the truck to use for turning. As with the
other intersection it maybe that the driveway will need to be widened out and/or the turning
truck will need to encroach on a portion of the exit lane to be able to turn into the site. 3. Also
missing a drawing for right out at the ¾ access.
I will not provide a written response (other than this) to the variance request until we receive and
review revised turning template drawings for these two movements.
Comment Number: 1 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: We are asking that a condition be placed on this project as it goes to hearing that
the design for the double left turn lane for southbound Lemay Avenue to eastbound Mulberry
Street be designed now and built with the 2nd Phase or whichever Phase of the project triggers
it. The design should be included in the final utility plan set, the row needed to accommodate
the turn lane be dedicated, and language regarding the timing of the improvement be included
in the Development Agreement.
Comment Number: 2 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: With each additional Phase/ minor amendment the project will need to submit a
TIS for that phase. The TIS submitted for the site and Phase 1 indicates that with the
development of additional phase there maybe LOS and/or APF issues or concerns, therefore
language will be placed with the Development Agreement for the project that with each
subsequent submittal be it minor amendment or otherwise that a TIS for the proposed Phase
be provide for review and analysis. From this analysis we will be able to determine if there are
any LOS or APF issues with the proposed Phase, and appropriate measures can be done to
address the issues.

01/23/2013: New standards for median landscaping are being adopted (the standards have
had first reading with City Council). I don’t know what the expectation for the landscaping of the
modified medians is to be. I have talked briefly about this with Bruce Hendee and it seemed
that landscaping to the new standards would be expected. This maybe what you are showing.
The landscape plans for the medians need to be reviewed and coordinated with the
Streetscape Team. Pete Wray or Clark Mapes can coordinate that.

01/23/2013: The plans note that the existing sewer main easement will be vacated by the plat.
The easement cannot be vacated until the easement is no longer needed and the line has
been relocated, so the notes on the plans need to be changed to reflect this.
Comment Number: 6 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: Upon relocation and of the Sewer Main line the City can process a vacation of the
existing easement area. This is an administrative process. At such time as this can be
vacated the applicant will need to provide a legal description and sketch for the area to be
vacated (prepared by licensed surveyor), the processing fee (currently $400), and the filing
fess which will be calculated at the time of recording.

01/23/2013: You are showing the building envelope line crossing over the utility easement
adjacent to Lincoln Ave. It would be better if this was not shown crossing over since it is
unlikely that the easement would be vacated to accommodate this.
Comment Number: 8 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: Note number 4 on the utility plans and note number 1 on the grading plans indicate
that the City shall inspect all storm sewers. We can do this (inspection fees will be charged),
but we only require the City to inspect those lines to be owned and maintained by the City.
Right now it is not noted on the plans which lines are private or public, but will assume that
some of them will be private and we do not need to inspect these.
Comment Number: 9 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: On the interim cross section and as part of your design you need to show a 4
paved shoulder with a minimum of 2 foot gravel beyond adjacent to the right turn lanes. The
bike lane serves as this where they are adjacent to the edge of roadway, so it is not needed
there.

01/23/2013: The existing fire hydrant shown to be relocated (at the north west corner of the
property) is this to be relocated with the first phase? If so it needs to be shown on the phase 1
utility sheets. The hydrant should be placed 8- 10 feet north of the property line so that it falls
within the future parkway and will not need to be relocated again. A note should be provided
indicating this location.

01/23/2013: Phase 1 utility sheets. You need some additional sheets to show all the utility
work that is a part of phase 1. The relocated sewer and several storm lines go off the sheets
provided. Also per the street plans it appears that the water and sewer mains going into the
retail area are to be stubbed in, but the phase 1 plans do not show that. Please clarify.

01/23/2013: Need to note what happens to the existing sewer line once it is no longer needed.
Will it be removed? The portion within the row will need to be removed. If other portions are to
be left in place the portions that run under utility easements will need to be flow filled so it will
be clear if a utility digs them up that it is no longer an active line.

-to achieve compliance with Section 4.20(D)(3)(1), the formation of outdoor spaces, such as
courtyards, plazas, etc. shall be applied and this will also help break up the massing of the
two-story building.
-screening of the west side of the parking lot should include a wall (if it works from a floodplain
perspective) and landscaping materials. Landscaping materials in this area must not all be
native, though the transition back to native species should occur as quickly as possible. Rocky
Mountain Junipers was one species discussed during the meeting for achieving this objective.

1 Plat – The effective 100-year floodplain and floodway must be shown not the proposed
floodplain.
2 Landscape plans – Please make sure the floodplain lines can be seen throughout and that
the floodplain is labeled as “proposed.”
3 Landscape Plan – Sheet L6 – An amphitheater is shown on this plan and is not included on
the floodplain plans. Please discuss this with ACE for inclusion in the hydraulic model and the
impact on the floodplain.
4 Site Plan – Please add the proposed floodway boundary and see edits to the notes.
5 On any plans where the floodplain variance is discussed, please revise to say the variance
was approved and list the conditions of approval. Ex. Floodplain Plan, Note 9; Site Plan, Sheet
1.
6 Floodplain Plan – Please expand the floodplain table to include all of the buildings –
including the retail and the future buildings. Please also list in separate columns: the effective
100-year flood elevation, the effective 500-year flood elevation, the regulatory flood protection
elevation, the lowest HVAC, mechanical or electrical elevation. Please add a footnote of the
conversion to the FEMA 1988 datum for use in filling out the elevation certificates.
7 Floodplain Plan – Other plans show a retaining wall, entrance sign and amphitheater. Please
show these items on the floodplain plan and provide a detail of the design. Staff is concerned
that the retaining wall may be considered a flood wall by FEMA. These items should be
discussed with ACE for floodplain impact.
8 Floodplain Plan and MUP-1 – Please include FF for future buildings.
9 Floodplain Plan- Please clarify Note 3 that a separate floodplain use permit and $25 permit
fee is required for each structure built prior to the LOMR approval by FEMA. The permits can
be obtained at time of building permit. All restoration and site grading can be done as one
permit. Any future work not included on these plans will require a separate floodplain use
permit.
10 Floodplain Plan – Note 4 – Please clarify that no work, including excavation, shall be done
in the floodway prior to approval of the CLOMR by FEMA. Include that the staging
11 Floodplain Plan – Note 8 – Clarify that proposed flood elevations are subject to approval of
the FEMA CLOMR and LOMR.
12 Floodplain Plan – Please add a note that no work is planned for the historic barn or other
structures at this time. Any future work is subject to the floodplain regulations in Chapter 10 of
City Code.
13 Floodplain Plan and ECP-1 – Include a note that all staging areas, including storage of
equipment and materials, etc., must be located out of the 100-year floodplain.
14 Floodplain Plan – Include a note that all floatable materials (picnic tables, bike racks, trash
dumpsters) located in the 100-year floodplain must be anchored to prevent floatation. Any fleet
vehicles must be parked in areas outside the 100-year floodplain.
15 Floodplain Plan – Include a note that all buildings are designed as slab-on-grade.

16 Floodplain Plan – Include a note that any elevators will be designed in compliance with
FEMA Technical Bulletin 4.
17 Floodplain Plan – Include a note that each structure must have a FEMA elevation certificate
reviewed and approved prior to issuance of the CO.
18 Floodplain Plan and Site Plan – Include a note that life-safety and emergency response
critical facilities are not allowed in the 100- or 500-year floodplain.
19 Floodplain Plan – Legend – Floodway needs to be mapped and shown on the plans. The
floodplain lines are hard to distinguish and make it difficult to determine what is in and out of the
floodplain – please review and revise if possible. Label the floodplain lines as “proposed”.
20 A second floodplain plan is needed to show the effective floodplain and floodway, since the
proposed floodplain and floodway are not yet approved and therefore are not regulatory.
21 When including a note about floodplain being revised and that these are “proposed
floodplain lines”, please add a clarifyi8ng statement that these lines are subject to the FEMA
LOMR. Ex. Sheet MGP-5, Site Plan – Sheet 1
22 As currently shown on the proposed floodplain mapping, the relocated Fisher Barn may be
the only historic structure to ultimately be shown in the 100-year floodplain. Is it possible to
have this relocated to an area out of the floodplain? See Site Plan Sheet S8.
23 More details are needed regarding the bank stabilization work. Please include details of
the site specific grading, rip rap, any TRM, etc. There should be information on specific
materials being used – i.e. rip rap size, color, locations, cover, etc.; type of TRM and
anchoring of TRM with details for each location. Show areas where concrete and spur dike are
being removed and details for bank restoration.
24 Drainage Report – Sect. 1.2 and 3.6 – Please discuss the critical facility hazardous material
floodplain variance. Include variance conditions.
25 Drainage Report – Sect. 1.3 – Please discuss other floodplain criteria. See notes from the
floodplain plan for items to be included.
26 Drainage Report – Sect. 1.3 - Discuss elevation of structures. Include table from floodplain

regulations in Chapter 10 of City Code. Discuss future development requirements from notes
being added to the floodplain plan.
29 Please see the Floodplain Development Review Checklist marked up by Marsha
Hilmes-Robinson. Items that are not checked off or marked NA still need to be included on the

01/23/2013: There is a concern for the lack of design for the many areas areas proposing
overland flow in a 100-year storm. How these flows are directed to the river in the interim and
ultimate conditions without causing erosion and in a safely manner in conjunction with the other
site features is the focus.
Comment Number: 3 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: The text of the drainage report mentions taking the off-site flows of the Coy ditch
but I could not see on the plans how this was happening. It looks like if enter a sump (pond)
and then just spills and travel overland towards the south and maybe even onto the property to
the west.
Comment Number: 4 Comment Originated: 01/23/2013
01/23/2013: It was hard to determine if the storm sewer system was accepting the 10 or
100-year design flows or if the system was designed for these flows minus the calculated
infiltration flows in the water quality mitigation areas. There was a lack of labeling that I could not
correlate the inlet calculations with the utility plans. The City does not like the idea of reducing
pipe sizes an not accommodating the full design flow.
