RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION. The necessary right-of-way for the future roundabout on Independence Ave has yet to be dedicated. It is staff's understanding that the right-of-way will be dedicated by separate document. No building occupancy will be allowed will be issued until the necessary right-of-way is dedicated. The right-of-way dedication document shall be executed, recorded with Jackson County and a certified copy of the document and exhibit returned to the Planning and Development Department.

DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Public Works Review and Inspection Fee of $32,527.68 (which is based on 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee) must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit from the Codes Department.

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.

Please be advised that any site grading which increases or decreases the maximum and minimum depth of cover requirements for sanitary sewer, storm sewer, or water lines must be mitigated by the applicant by relocation of the utility vertically or horizontally.

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. For information only.

Knox Box

Fire Department- IFC 506.1 Where access to or within a structure or an area is restricted because of secured openings or where immediate access is necessary for life-saving or fire-fighting purposes, the fire code official is authorized to require a key box to be installed in an approved location. The key box shall be of an approved type and shall contain keys to gain necessary access as required by the fire code official. An approved lock shall be installed on gates or similar barriers when required by the fire code official. The gate has been added and shall be provided with a Knox padlock. If not already present, a Knox box shall be provided on the building above the FDC. Contact the fire department for a Knox lock application.

The pavement detail for driving surfaces (i.e., heavy duty asphalt on Sheet C4.1 calls out a 2" surface course asphaltic concrete surface course over a 5" base course. The geotechnical report recommends a 2" surface course over a 6" base course. Please reconcile this discrepancy.

Where will the fire lanes be constructed? The geotechnical report recommended a 2" surface course asphaltic concrete over a 7" base course.

Sheet C1.3: A discrepancy exists on the location of the new water meter. It is shown in the same location as currently exists, but does not reconcile with that shown on Sheet C1.1. It should be located near the entrance in a relatively flat location as shown on Sheet C.1.

Please verify in writing that any geogrid installed for the southern portion of the retaining wall (i.e., south of the roundabout) will not protrude into the utility easement.

In the applicants response the the question concerning depth of cover for the existing water main(s), the applicant stated that there should not be any impact due to minimal grading in these areas. What differences in elevation over the existing water line(s) are going to exist after final grading? Has the applicant requested any as-built record drawings of the water main(s) from our Records Technician? As previously discussed, if the final grading results in the water main having greater than seven (7) feet of cover, or if final grading results in the water main having less than 3.5 feet of cover will require the water main to be relocated either vertically or horizontally at the applicants expense.

RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION. The necessary right-of-way for the future roundabout on Independence Ave has yet to be dedicated. The dedication can be done either through a final plat or by separate document. No building permits will be issued until the necessary right-of-way is dedicated.

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. For information only.

FDC's

Fire Department- A fire hydrant shall be located within 100 feet of the fire department connection (FDC). The location of the FDC was not shown. If using the existing FDC, the location meets requirements.

Knox Box

Fire Department- IFC 506.1 Where access to or within a structure or an area is restricted because of secured openings or where immediate access is necessary for life-saving or fire-fighting purposes, the fire code official is authorized to require a key box to be installed in an approved location. The key box shall be of an approved type and shall contain keys to gain necessary access as required by the fire code official. An approved lock shall be installed on gates or similar barriers when required by the fire code official. The gate has been added and shall be provided with a Knox padlock. If not already present, a Knox box shall be provided on the building above the FDC. Contact the fire department for a Knox lock application.

RIGHT-OF-WAY DEDICATION. Will the right-of-way necessary for the future roundabout on Independence Ave be dedicated by plat or by separate document? Dedication through either means is acceptable. However, dedication via plat may take longer due to plat applications having to go through the Planning Commission and City Council for approval. No building permits will be issued until the right-of-way is dedicated.

SECURITY GATES. Is a security gate of any kind being proposed for the property entrance? If so, a Knox Box will need to be provided to allow for Fire Department access to the property during non-operating hours. Please contact Asst. Chief Jim Eden at 816-969-1310 regarding Knox Box requirements.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING SIGN. Note #9 on Sheet C1.1 calls out the ADA parking sign as being that shown in the Volkswagen Signage Package (Sheet G1.4). The sign called out in said package is not the City standard, therefore is not allowed. The type of sign to be installed at the head of every ADA parking space shall be the type R7-8 (white background, green text, green border and blue wheelchair symbol) as identified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).

PAVEMENT DETAIL. The proposed pavement thickness profile on Sheet C4.1 does not comply with the City's standard. See Section 12.120.F of the UDO for the required pavement thickness profile.

SIGNAGE. Approval of the dealership wall and monument signs require separate Sign Permit Applications. Signage will be limited to the 7 wall signs and 3 monument signs granted by the City Council as part of the preliminary development plan approval.

LIGHTING. - A photometric plan in compliance with Section 7.260 through 7.320 of the UDO shall be submitted for review. - Manufacturer specifications for all exterior light fixtures shall be provided to review for compliance with the applicable sections of the UDO referenced above.

Please add a note on the cover sheet stating that "...all construction shall follow the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual as adopted by Ordinance 5813."

Will the additional right of way be dedicated by separate document?

Will the existing private sanitary sewer force main be abandoned and replaced?

The water meter (whether existing or proposed) should be relocated near the entrance to the new dealership. The current placement (or proposed placement as the case may be) is such that it will be located on a steep slope with dangerous access for Water Utilities personnel. Please relocate this meter to a relatively flat location (within an easement or right of way) near the entrance to the dealership.

Sheet C4.1: "Standard Pavement" section does not meet the design criteria specified in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 12. Please refer to the UDO for specific thickness requirements of the asphaltic concrete surface and base course, as well as the subgrade.

What are the impacts of the grading activities on the water line? It appears there may be issues with water mains being too shallow (i.e., less than 42" in depth). If this is the case, then the water line(s) must be relocated vertically or horizontally. Separate engineering plans will be required for relocation of the water main(s).

Please specify the contour interval on Sheet C2.2.

Sheet C3.1: Please label the end of the 48" CMP with a note stating "36" Orifice Plate Welded to End" or similar language.

Please add a note to Sheet C1.1 stating that tactile warning devices (i.e., truncated domes) are not allowed at ADA-ramps serving private entrances.

Please show the location of the Fire Department Connection (FDC). Please see the Fire Department's comments related to placement of fire hydrants in relation to the FDC.

Will geogrid be used for the construction of the modular block wall along Independence Avenue? If so, it would appear it will be encroaching into the utility easement. This could have a significant impact on the City's ability to maintain the water main along Independence Avenue. It may be necessary to consider a free-standing concrete retaining wall for this project since any subsequent disturbance of geogrid by utility contractors or the City would likely lead to retaining wall failure.
