will be removable. The electrical service for the building will be 1,200 Amp 480Y/277
Volt, therefore, the transformer will be a 500KVA unit. Due to this new configuration,
we believe we have provided access to the utility company, which will allow them the
ability to remove/replace the transformer when required with out the use of hoist
lifting device.

[8/4/08] The electric equipment within the enclosed area must be accessible to utility
personnel 24/7 without a special key & without obtaining an 'escort' to obtain access.
The utility court will have a locked gate. Next to the gate will be a utility company
approved "Knox" box with the access key to the utility court.

[8/4/08] The landscape plan needs to show the existing streetlights adjacent to the site.
Street tree locations then need to be adjusted as necessary to provide 40 feet of lateral
clearance between lights and trees (15 feet if the tree is an ornamental type).
All existing light location are shown on the landscape plans.
Number: 5 Created: 8/4/2008
[8/4/08] The location of electric meters needs to be coordinated with Light & Power
Engineering.

Topic: Traffic
Number: 46 Created: 8/26/2008
[8/26/081 TIS- AM southbound Rt volume shows 111 vehicles. This seems to be an error.
Please review and address.
A revised TIS has been submitted.
Number: 47 Created: 8/26/2008
[8/26/08] Traffic is concerned with the lack of sight distance at the underground exit and
sidewalk. With the current amount of pedestrians, cyclists and boarders navigating the
sidewalks exiting vehicles need some visibility to safely enter the sidewalk.
Audible and visual signals require the affected sidewalk users to be attentive to the blind
motorists actions, but do not give the motorist any aid in verifying the sidewalk is clear to
enter. Therefore all responsibility is placed on the sidewalk user to know of an exiting
Page 6
vehicle, and there's little the motorist can contribute to making a safe entry onto the
sidewalk.
It is felt that the proposed design is suitable for this area. We have tried to bump -out
the sidewalk in this location, but this resulted in a rise in 100-year flood elevation at
the existing upstream buildings to the northwest of the site. We have since added a
flood gate allowing us to lower the finished floor. This created a gradual walking
area. We have also proposed a steel barrier to force the travel of pedestrians away
from the building.
Number: 48 Created: 8/26/2008
[8/26/081 Why is the width of the sidewalk reduced at the underground entry? This seems to
worsen the exiting vehicle issue previously described.
The width of the sidewalk has been redesigned to a full 8' walk and is now proposed
along the street instead of along the building.
Number: 49 Created: 8/26/2008
[8/26/08] The location of the parking stall to the east of the underground entry places
considerable difficulty on exiting cars and cars on Walnut to see each other. This does not
meet LCUASS sight distance criteria and may need a variance or some parking space
improvements.
We have proposed eliminating one of the stalls to the east and replacing it with a
motorcycle/moped parking area. With the street travel lanes being 10' passed the
end of the parking stalls, we feel there will be adequate sight for the drivers existing
the building. Traffic travels slowly in this area, due to the amount of service vehicles
parked along the roadway.

The plans have been updated.
Department: Stormwater-Water-Wastewater Issue Contact: Wes Lamarque
Topic: Stormwater
Number: 37 Created: 8/22/2008
[8/22/081 With more research in the City's Storm Drainage Criteria Manual, Section 7.1
states that one foot of freeboard is required for major channels. Due to the high amount of
flow in the street, this could be considered a major channel. A variance would be required if
the lowest opening into the building is less than 1 foot from the 100-year water surface
elevation. The analysis showing that the building elevation is above the street capacity with
1.33 times the flow is part of the justification to support a variance, additional mitigation
techniques would have to be incorporated into the design to ensure health and safety for the
public. Sump pumps in the parking garage, which are being proposed, is one option. A
trench drain on the down slope entrance into the garage that is piped to the storm sewer is
Page 7
another option. A flood gate along the garage entrance which would provide one foot of
freeboard is another option as well.
Overall, the design needs to incorporate as much mitigation techniques as possible to
provide the proper safety factor. The primary issue with a street is the wave action caused
by cars using the street. The City will evaluate if all of these mitigation techniques are
adequate.
A floodgate will be utilized that is a minimum of 1' above the 100-yr flood elevation.
Specific details will be provided with the architectural plans.
Number: 38 Created: 8/22/2008
[8/22/081 Has there been a decision if any water quality BMPs are going to be incorporated
into the design. Tree wells were discussed at a previous meeting as being a possibility.
We have every intention of incorporating some sort of water quality BMP with this
project, but will decide on how at a later time.

As discussed on the phone, a note has been added to the utility plan that all existing
sanitary sewer services shall be abandoned and shall be coordinated with City Utility.
Number: 12 Created: 8/15/2008
[8/15/08] Will there be a conflict on Mountain between existing 10-inch water main and
proposed storm sewer?
If the depth of the existing 10' water main is below the required minimum depth,
there is no conflict with the current design. Approximated location have been shown
on sheet ST1. A note has been added to the sheet ST1 specifying that the "Location
and depth of the existing 10" water main are to be field verified and examined to
insure 18" minimum separation.

[8/5/08] The "Statement of Planning Objectives" mentions the separation between the new
building and the Co-op building in order "to open up views to the existing ghost sign... -and
to allow for pedestrian access between Mountain Avenue and Walnut Street". At the ZBA
meeting, it was described that the ground floor would be setback from the west lot line
approximately 10% but that the upper floors would be setback less. It's hard to tell if that's
still the case from the elevations and site plan submitted.
It would be helpful if the Mountain Ave. elevation drawing was expanded to show the edge
of the Co-op building, and if the site plan showed the upper floor overhangs and perhaps
walkway "arrows" can be added indicating the pedestrian connection.
The Co-op building has been added to the elevation drawing.
Number: 8 Created: 8/5/2008
[8/5/08] The color elevations I received show some awnings, but the black and white
elevations don't. Please add them to the black and white.
These awnings have been added to the black and white elevations.
Number: 9 Created: 8/5/2008
[8/5/08] Add the utility screening fence and gate and the trash enclosure to the black and
white building elevations. The code requires that trash enclosures have to be at least 20'
from a public sidewalk. That's difficult to do on infill lots in the downtown when the lot
doesn't abut an alley. Since your enclosure is closer than 20', we'll need a trash enclosure
detail showing the materials matching the building, and probably of a height of at least 8'.
The utility screening fence and gate and the trash enclosure has been added to the
black and white elevations.
Be sure and return all of your redlined plans when you re -submit.
If you have any questions regarding these issues or any other issues related to this project,

[8/22/08] Grading Plan — The retaining wall adjacent to the sidewalk will need more detail

[8/22/081 Staff is concerned about the west elevation that faces the historic district. It
appears that there is a reduced level of detail and quality along a significant portion of this
elevation and yet the relationship to the historic district remains a sensitive issue. Both
Historic Preservation and Current Planning would like to meet with the project team to

[8/22/08] The storm drain and road design profiles won't scan or copy well. Can you reduce

[8/22/08] Cross Sections — It appears that you are maintaining a consistent cross slope for
the most part on the road section from existing to new asphalt. Can you please show/label
the existing street cross slope on the cross sections to show if it is carried through or if there
is a change in cross slope at the saw cut line?
Existing cross -slope grades have been added to the cross -sections.

[8/22/081 The sight distance coming out of the parking garage needs to be addressed. Per
my email sent to Cody Snowden on 8/21, the City will not consider the proposed light and
Page 4
auditable warning system for pedestrians. The standard sight distance triangle at an
intersection is 10x10 feet. If you are unable to provide the standard sight distance clear area
you will need to propose other creative options for us to consider. I can coordinate any
meeting necessary to try and resolve this issue.
It is felt that the proposed design is suitable for this area. We have tried to bump -out
the sidewalk in this location, but this resulted in a rise in 100-year flood elevation at
the existing upstream buildings to the northwest of the site. We have since added a
flood gate allowing us to lower the finished floor. This created a gradual walking
area. We have also proposed a steel barrier to force the travel of pedestrians away
from the building.

[8/21/08] There needs to be 8 upsized mitigation trees. In addition to the 4 new Honeylocust
along E. Mountain that already are specified at the large size the 4 Honeylocust along
Walnut shall also be specified at 3.0 inch caliper or greater.
We had originally planned to lose 4 trees but have reduced that count to three. If we
add (2) 3" caliper trees for every one mitigation tree, we need a minimum of 6
mitigation trees (we are showing 7). We plan to keep the tree in front of the co-op
building to the west, although when previously submitted we thought we would have
to remove it.

[8/4/08] The utility screening fence & gate must be a type of material that provides for air
flow (i.e. wrought iron). This is necessary because the electric transformers inside the gate
are air cooled devices.
The utility screening fence and gate will allow air flow and will be similar to the
requested "wroght iron".

[8/4/08] The architect & developer previously agreed to provide a hoist lifting device to lift
the electric transformers from the enclosed area to a point outside of the building. The utility
plans need to show the details of this hoist.
The utility court has been modified since that discussion. The transformer for this
building will not be located totally under the building as previously discussed. It will
only be half under the building overhang. The fence material around the transformer
