Where the vertical distance between the grade plane and the highest roof surface exceeds 30 feet (9144 mm), approved aerial fire apparatus access roads shall be provided.

PROPERTY LINE. There appear to be two sets of lines that intend to depict the property lines along Kessler Drive on the north and Longview Road on the south. The north and south boundaries of the already platted Tract 1, Tower Park (detention basin) also have the same issue. The lines are offset by approximately 6' and appear on all plan sheets.

SIDEWALK. - A 5' sidewalk shall be provided along the Longview Road frontage from the point that the north-south segment meets the east-west segment to the development's easternmost boundary. - A minimum 5' trail shall be provided along the development's eastern boundary connecting Longview Road on the south to Kessler Drive on the north as depicted on initial drawings presented at the pre-application meeting. A spur providing pedestrian access from said trail to the detention basin/recreation area shall also be provided. - Label the existing sidewalks, including width.

DRIVE CONNECTION. - The drive connection onto Longview Rd (east-west portion) that lines up with Ovation Drive, shown as "future", shall be constructed as part of the development's initial construction. - A temporary asphalt curb shall be provided at the end of the drive stub shown to provide access to the abutting parcel to the east.

PARKING CALCULATIONS. - The required number of visitor parking spaces is incorrectly listed as 154. The required number is 155. - Based on the additional space referenced above, the listed number of total parking spaces required shall be changed from 618 to 619. - The listed number of onsite regular parking spaces is 303. However, only 291 are actually shown on the plat. - Unless approved as part of an alternate parking plan, all required parking spaces shall be located on the same lot as the use they serve. 55 off-site spaces are listed as being provided. The spaces in question are shown as the existing parallel parking spaces along Longview Rd and Kessler Dr. Staff will consider using the on-street spaces to meet the parking requirements. However, such alternate parking plan is subject to City Council approval as part of this application process. - The listed total number of parking spaces provided is shown as 593. The correct number based on previous comments above is 581. - Provide a narrative and data to support the request to provide 581 parking spaces (inclusive of the 55 off-site spaces) when a minimum of 619 spaces are required per the UDO.

KESSLER DRIVE. Kessler Drive is not accurately depicted on the site drawings (e.g. width, median location, etc).

PARKING LOT SETBACK. Parking lots shall be set back a minimum 20' from the right-of-way. The parking spaces along Longview Rd are shown to be set back approximately 13' The parking spaces along Kessler Dr are set back from 0' to 5'.

BUILDING SETBACK. Depending on which line along Kessler Drive depicts the actual property line, there appears to be a portion of the clubhouse structure encroaching into the right-of-way.

SITE LIGHTING. - Provide cut sheets for all proposed exterior light fixtures for review. - All exterior light fixtures shall meet the requirements of Sections 7.260 through 7.300 of the UDO.

GROUND-MOUNTED MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. Show the location of all proposed ground-mounted mechanical equipment. Equipment shall be screened from view up to the height of the units using evergreen landscaping or masonry walls.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING SPACES. All accessible parking spaces shall be identified by a sign (type R7-8 in the MUTCD), mounted on a pole or other structure at the head of the space, located between 3' and 5' above the ground. The prescribed height shall be measured to the bottom of the sign. Provide a detail.

LANDSCAPE PLAN. - Label all tree and shrub sizes on the respective lists. See Section 14.050 of the UDO for the minimum size requirements. - At the bottom of the site data table, the labels for the provided street trees and shrubs were inadvertently switched. - Add a note to the plan stating that all distrubed and open areas not covered with other materials shall be covered with sod. No seeding is allowed.

ARCHITECTURAL ELEVATIONS. - Label the proposed apartment building material color palette, including the garage doors. - Call out the proposed apartment roofing material and color. - The clubhouse elevations did not label any exterior building materials or colors. See comments above. - Show all roof penetrations on the apartments and clubhouse to the extent possible. All roof penetrations shall be placed in architecturally designed appurtenances. Small vent pipes may be painted to blend in with the roof to disguise their appearance. - Building-mounted utility meters and associated equipment (e.g. pipes, conduit) shall be painted so as to blend in with the building. - All exterior trash containers shall be screened so they are not visible from off the property. Trash enclosures shall be constructed of masonry walls with solid steel gates painted to be compatible with the color of the masonry walls and building it is to serve. Provide a detail.

Legal Description

Please submit an electronic copy of the legal description. Microsoft Word document or selectable text PDF are the preferred file formats. The legal description can be emailed to the planner's email address above.

Resubmittal of Traffic Study addressing previous comment sent to the traffic engineer.

Need to discuss sidewalk connectivity between Longview and Kessler, along the eastern property line (driveway/parking), including connectivity to the shared use detention basin/open green space amenity. Also need to discuss driveway connectivity on the eastern property line.

Need an access easement over the eastern property for shared access to the east and between Longview and Kessler.

Please check with the Public Works Records Technician at 816-969-1800 for an accurate rendering of water line locations. There are water lines that have been abandoned and relocated which need to be corrected.

As discussed in the pre-application meeting, all interior sanitary sewers must be private, and the end of the public system will be the existing manhole along Longview Road (east/west portion).

As discussed in the pre-application meeting, all interior water lines must be private.

Domestic water connections must be made to the City mains. These connection points can be made along Longview Road (north/south), or Kessler Drive.

Water meter locations must be within City right of way or an easement.

In the event that fire lines are longer than fifty (50) feet as measured from the water main to the riser on a building, a backflow prevention assembly and vault is required within five (5) feet or as close as possible to the water main.

Domestic water lines are not allowed to connect to the private fire line(s). Exceptions to this rule are specified in Section 6901(I)3, and only when a backflow assembly within a vault is provided.

The stormwater line crossing Kessler Drive will be considered private from the junction box on the south side of Kessler Drive and continuing downstream. From that point, including the junction box, the system will be considered private.

The public easement which contains the public storm line mentioned in comment #7 will need to be partially vacated.

Sidewalk should be shown along the south property line (i.e., the east/west portion of Longview Road).

The private road connection shown as "future" should be constructed along with this project.

Please check the locations of all drainage structures and water lines along Kessler Drive. It appears there are drafting errors since it appears there is an offset shown which doesn't exist.

Interior fire hydrants were not shown. These fire hydrants must be private and must be served by an interior fire line. This fire line must be private.

Please provide a reasonably accurate rendering of Kessler Drive, including medians. It appears this was lacking from the plan.

Property lines, easements, and other pertinent features were not labeled and the legend did not include all symbols used in the plans. Please label these features, and revise the legend to include all symbols used in the plans.
