Lee's Summit

Permeable pavement is called out on Sheet C4, but subsequent sheets refer to gravel. Please be aware that Public Works does not consider gravel as permeable pavement.

Please note that separate engineering plans for the off-site public improvements will need to be submitted with the Final Development Plan.

Sheet C13 states that the pavement thickness will be based on a geotechnical report. Please note that the City has specific requirements for pavement thickness contained in the Unified Development Ordinance Article 12 which must be followed. Any pavement design based on a geotechnical report must be the equivalent or better than that specified in the Unified Development Ordinance.

Sheet C13 specifies that "gravel pavement" will be constructed using No. 67 permeable stone. Please note that the City does not consider gravel to be "pavement".

Please show the location of the existing and proposed domestic water meter.

The "Storm Water Management Plan" dated June 16, 2014 includes Table 2 on page 2. Table 2 appears to show the allowable runoff using the flat-rate peak discharge design strategy under Comprehensive Control, but does not present the actual developed condition peak flow rates (i.e., the post-development peak flow rates for each subarea). Please revise the report as appropriate.

The "Storm Water Management Plan" dated June 16, 2014 discusses 40 hour extended detention being utilized for the project. Please keep in mind that credits are available if permeable pavement (i.e., as defined by the American Concrete Institute) is used on the site to decrease the amount, or in some cases elimination, of the 40 hour extended detention requirement.

If any waivers are being requested for the allowable peak discharge from a specific subarea, then please make this request within the stormwater report. From the appendices, it appears there are subareas which exceed the allowable peak discharge.

Please note that Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) approval will be required for the stormwater discharge onto MoDOT right of way. This will be needed prior to approval of the Final Development Plan.

Please note that the off-site public improvement plans must be approved prior to approval of the Final Development Plan.

Code Statement

All building and life safety items shall be in accordance with the 2012 International Fire Code and local amendments.

FDC's

Exceptions: 1. For Group R-3 and Group U occupancies, the distance requirement shall be 600 feet (183 m). Action required: Provide a hydrant plan for the site. The current hydrants on site are "yard" hydrants from the building suppression system. Indicate how the system will be converted to a private system, including a back flow device (Public Works). Ref. NFPA 14, APWA, and LS Design and Construction Manual. Hydrant coverage will need to be provided within 600 feet of the covered utility buildings in the covered RV area. Coverage will also be needed for the future retail space. Hydrant water flow requirements and spacing shall be in accordance with IFC Appendix B and C.

Imposed Loads

Fire Department- IFC 503.2.3 Fire apparatus access roads shall be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus and shall be surfaced so as to provide all-weather driving capabilities.

Knox Box

Action required: Class 1 Standpipe connections shall be provided in the warehouse area.

Sprinkler System

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.

Plat. Per the requirements of Section 16.020 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), paragraphs C, E, F, and G, if it is intended that "Future Building B" shall have a separate lot and/or different ownership the property shall be platted.

Access Easement. A permanent access easement for the "future retail space" and along the entire southern property line shall be provided.

If the area in front of the building leading to the loading dock on the north elevation is intended to be utilized (drove or parked on) then this area shall be paved with either asphalt or portland cement. If this area is not intended to be utilized then the gravel shall be removed and it shall be seeded.

Curb Blocks. Per Section 12.120.F.1.e of the UDO the use of curb blocks in parking areas is prohibited, except at the head of accessible parking spaces when they are adjacent to a pedestrian walkway with no raised curb.

Elevations. Call out existing materials and any new materials and their colors. Are the existing fans on the south side of the building to remain? The existing overhead door and loading dock on the north? Conduit on the east side of the building? None of these items are called out on the elevations.

Architectural Relief. Horizontal and vertical breaks shall be incorporated into the building elevations as required per Section 7.220.A and B. This may be accomplished with the use of pilasters, wainscoting, faux windows, and/or by boxing in downspouts. The City is open to other potential architectural features that may accomplish the intended goal.

Mechanical Units. How will the existing and any new mechanical equipment be screened?

Fence. Provide a detail of the fence surrounding the covered RV area.

Landscaping. Provide calculations for required landscaping, justification for any landscaping not provided and a request for modification to the applicable landscape ordinance. In addition, move deciduous trees that are shown to be located in the pavement of the 2nd access drive.

Provide a detail of the roofed/covered RV spaces.

General Notes on Sheet C1. Notes #4, #6, #7, #23, and #26 shall be revised to reflect applicable state and local standards.

Lighting. Provide a Photometric Plan for site lighting and spec sheets for any proposed or existing lighting to be utilized.

Gravel is not permitted. Any areas that are currently gravel will need to either be paved with asphalt or cement or gravel removed and seeded. "Gravel paving" is still gravel and not pavement.

How many trucks will be stored on site at any given time?

All required off-site improvements shall be completed prior to certificate of occupancy.
