DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Contact Public Works Inspections at (816) 969-1800 at least 48 hours prior to the onset of construction.

DE Contact ROW Inspector

Contact a Right-of-Way Inspector at (816) 969-1800 prior to any land disturbance within the right-of-way. These activities may require a permit.

DE Future Repair Work

Please be aware that any future repair work to public infrastructure (e.g., water main repair, sanitary sewer repair, storm sewer repair, etc.) within public easements will not necessarily include the repair of pavement, curbing, landscaping, or other private improvements which are located within the easement.

PW Public Improvements TIFF CD's (DELETE)

Any public improvements will require two (2) CD ROMs with the plans in TIFF format.

PW Submit Land Disturbance (DELETE)

Submit a Land Disturbance Permit application and the required attachments to the Erosion Control Specialist prior to any land disturbance activities that are to occur prior to obtaining a building permit from the Codes Department. Approval of these plans does not constitute approval of the erosion control plan. Contact Barton Reese at (816) 969-1800 for new land disturbance permitting details.

As requested in the previous comment letter, please show the location(s) of the on-site stormwater collection system which will collect stormwater from the building and direct it toward the alley to the west. The location(s) and size of the piping should be clearly shown. It should be labeled as "private" from the building to the public storm box to be constructed in the alley (i.e., the storm box in the alley will be considered public, but everything between it and the building will be considered private).

As requested in the previous comment letter, the ADA ramp should be labeled.

The water meter location should be clearly shown and labeled. It must be located outside the limits of the walking surface.

As requested in the previous comment letter, the City requires that brick pavers be installed with a 4" thick underbase of portland cement concrete on a layer of clean sand between the concrete base and the paver. Clean sand should also be swept into the joints following placement. Please show a detail of this installation.

As requested in the previous comment letter, the note on Sheet C.001 under "storm sewer" should be changed to reflect the requirement that stomwater will be diverted to an underground system to be constructed in the western alley.

As requested in the previous comment letter, a valve will be required just beyond the tapping sleeve for the new 4" fire line. This must be called out as a restrained valve using straddle blocks. Show the location of the straddle blocks.

As requested in the previous comment letter, the domestic water line must be tapped off the existing public water line rather than the fire line. Keep in mind that the water meter must be placed within right of way or an easement, but must not be placed within the walking surface of the sidewalk.

As requested in the previous comment letter, a separate set of engineering plans will be required for the storm sewer improvements within the alley to the west. This plan set should generally follow the concept plan shown in the Preliminary Development Plan. The new public grated box at the upstream end of the alley will denote the beginning of the public improvement portion of the stormwater improvements for this project. All other aspects of the stormater collection system (i.e., roof drain tie-in, storm lines from the building to the alley, etc.) will be considered private.

As requested in the previous comment letter, the Engineer's Estimate appears to be missing the brick paver construction (including the concrete base discussed earlier), the on-site storm drainage construction (i.e., piping, headers, junctions, alley cuts and restoration of alley asphalt surfacing), and the concrete flume.

ROOF-MOUNTED MECHANICALS. The response letter from the architect to staff's previous comment regarding the screening of the RTUs indicates that a decorative iron and cedar fence will be utililized as screening. The City's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires RTUs to be fully screened from view by the building's parapet walls being of a height equal to the height of the units being screened. The proposed wood fence screening cannot be approved as it does not satisfy the UDO requirement.

TRASH ENCLOSURE. Please confirm that there will be no exterior trash dumpster to serve the building and that any trash dumpster or other type of trash recepticals will be housed inside the building. If any trash recepticals will be kept outside, they shall be housed within an enclosure constructed of masonry walls with solid steel gates.

Please show the location(s) of the on-site stormwater collection system which will collect stormwater from the building and direct it toward the alley to the west. The location(s) and size of the piping should be clearly shown.

The ADA ramp should be labeled.

The water meter location should be clearly shown and labeled. The lid must be ADA-compliant.

The City requires that brick pavers be installed with a 4" thick underbase of portland cement concrete on a layer of clean sand between the concrete base and the paver. Please show a detail of this installation.

Code Statement

Fire Department-All building and life safety issues shall comply with the 2006 International Fire Code and local amendments as adopted by the City of Lee’s Summit.

Misc.

The location of the fire department connection (FDC) was not shown on the plans. The FDC shall be located on the front of the building, or as approved by the fire code official.

Dumpsters

"Fire Department- IFC 304.3.3 Capacity exceeding 1.5 cubic yards. Dumpsters and containers with an individual capacity of 1.5 cubic yards [40.5 cubic feet (1.15 m3)] or more shall not be stored in buildings or placed within 5 feet (1524 mm) of combustible walls, openings or combustible roof eave lines." A dumpster enclosure (built to UDO requirements) was not shown on the plans. If provided, it will need to meet IFC and UDO requirements.

Sheet C.100: Inserta-tees are not allowed. A wye must be cut into the existing sanitary sewer.

Sheet C.100: The fire line plan will be changing as per discussions with the architect. These changes must be reflected on the revised plan.

Sheet C.100: The location of the domestic water supply will be changing as per discussions with the architect. The final plan must be revised accordingly.

Separate engineering plans for the public storm line improvement will be necessary for the alleyway storm sewer extension.

A stormwater plan was lacking from the submittal. This plan should show all on-site improvements including sizing, length, and profile views. Hydraulic grade lines should be shown on the profile view. Downspout routing should be clearly shown on the plans.

Sheet C.050: Silt fence will not be an effective means for sediment control. It is recommended that straw logs and/or straw wattle be used in this instance due to the special conditions at the site.

An Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal. The Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee is based on this estimate. Please exclude the actual building from the estimate and any water lines 2" or less in diameter, but include all other costs associated with the project.

Code Statement

Fire Department-All building and life safety issues shall comply with the 2006 International Fire Code and local amendments as adopted by the City of Lee’s Summit.

Misc.

Installation of the the fire main and back flow shall be in accordance with LS Public Works Construction Manual and NFPA 24 Section 10.6. Action required: Make correction on the length of pipe under the building to comply with NFPA 24.

PRIVATE PARKING AGREEMENT. Provide copies of all signed private parking agreements for the minimum 179 shared parking spaces required for this use.

LIGHTING. Provide manufacturer specifications for all exterior light fixtures for review and approval. All exterior wall-mounted light fixtures shall be flat lens fixtures with 90-degree cut-offs so as to direct the light downard and so the light source is not visible from off the property.

ELEVATIONS. - Label all the proposed exterior building material colors (including the man doors at the rear of the building) on Sheet A4.0. - Label the proposed building material and color of the exposed exterior staircase. - It is our understanding from the City's Codes Administration Department that the proposed windows on the north and south building elevations will have to be eliminated in order to meet building code. Provide revised elevations reflecting this change.

ROOF-MOUNTED MECHANICALS. It isn't clear from the plans how the roof-top units will be screened. The UDO requires roof-mounted equipment to be screened by parapet walls equal to the height of the mechanical equipment.

ROOF-TOP STRUCTURE. The third floor plan on Sheet A1.1 shows a structure radiating from the area where the storage room and roof deck lobby abut. Label the structure and the type of material.

BUILDING FOOTPRINT. The building footprint on the civil and landscape plans does not match the footprint on the architectural drawings.

PARKING LOT NOTES. Note #3 does not apply to this development. Remove this and any other notes from Sheet C.001 that do not apply to this specific project.

LOT LINES. Label the lot line dimensions.

The construction limits and details for work in the right-of-way are unclear, including brick pavers and sidewalk.

There appear to be non-applicable plan notes referencing one-way traffic flow.

Will there be any temporary traffic control needed? If so, reference details/plan.

Identify any signing or pavement marking changes to Douglas St. frontage where the driveway is removed and new space for on-street parking (or loading zone) will be available.
