MECHANICAL SCREENING The Applicant's response dated February 10, 2015, indicates that the location, size, type and material used for ground mounted mechanical unit screening is contained in the Achitectural Sheets. Where is this information located on the Architectural Sheets? Per UDO Section 7.180.F - Ground mounted equipment shall be totally screened from view by by landscaping or maonry wall up to a height of the unites to be screened.

PARKING REQUIREMENTS As referenced in Staff's Applicant's Letter dated December 19, 2014, additional parking may be required for the site based on the proposed use of the building addition. Indicate what the proposed usage of the building will be (manufacturing; warehouse - transfer/storage; wholesale - office/warehouse). Will additional employees be required as part of the expansion?

PAVEMENT Based upon review of the parking lot pavement detail referenced on Sheet C.600, it does not appear that the proposed pavement surface meets the Unified Development Ordinance requirements. Also, where is the detail for the designated fire lanes and delivery/freight truck access lanes? Per UDO Section 12.120 - All vehicle parking and loading areas and all access drives shall be improved with one of the following: (i) a minimum 5-inch asphaltic concrete base overlaid with a 2-inch asphaltic concrete surface constructed on a sub-grade of either 12-inch prepared soil, 8-inch aggregate or 9-inch fly ash treated soil; (ii) a minimum 6 inches of full depth unreinforced Portland cement concrete constructed on a sub-grade of either 12-inch prepared soil, 8-inch aggregate or 9-inch fly ash treated soil.

DOORWAY COLOR The Architectural Sheets do not indicate the color of the doorways on the building addition. The color of the new doorways must match the color of the existing building as well as the proposed building addition.

BUILDING COLOR Provide a color palette indicating the color of the existing building as well as the building addition and new doorways.

Please correct the two typographical errors contained within the "Macro Storm Water Drainage Study" dated Dec. 5, 2014. These typographical errors are contained within Section 3 and 7 (i.e., "regarded" should be "re-graded"?). In addition, where are the calculations for 40 hour extended detention and/or BMPs to meet the requirements of Section 5600 contained within the report?

Sheet C.001: Note 4 should be corrected since this is the City of Lee's Summit rather than the City of Pleasant Hill.

Sheet C.100: It does not appear the easternmost utility easement is scaled properly.

Sheet C.100: What is the additional dashed line along the 7.5 foot utility easement on the north edge of the property line?

Sheet C.100: Linework on the storm pipes is not clear. Two storm lines are shown ending at the proposed concrete pavement without any clear definition of what is happening.

Sheet C.101: There appears to be two (2) dashed lines parallel to the existing perimeter easements. What do these lines represent?

It is likely that the Planning and Codes Administration Department will require a sealed drawing of the retaining wall(s) due to the height.

Sheet C.300: What are the plans for the downspouts?

Sheet C.300: Linework for the existing storm lines near the proposed concrete pavement is not clear. For instance, the southernmost storm line is shown ending near the inlet, without any indication of where it goes from there.

Sheet C.300: Please label the new fire line extension as "proposed" or equivalent. it is difficult to determine what is being proposed.

Sheet C.300: Please label the location of the Fire Department Connection.

Sheet C.300: The fire line is shown connecting to the private fire hydrant assembly. This is not correct. Please show the fire line extension tied into the existing fire line, with the existing fire hydrant shown offset from the main fire line.

Sheet C.300: What is the purpose of the blow-off assembly? Is this a high point in the line?

Sheet C.301: Please revise the "Macro Storm Water Drainage Study" dated Dec. 5, 2014 to include the actual design shown on this sheet. The report discussed an 8 inich outlet pipe, with no further explanation of the multi-stage structure and 24 inch outlet pipe on the backside.

Sheet C.301: The plan view for the new outlet structure does not match the typical section shown on the bottom right hand corner. Please ensure that the plan view matches the typical section, including the 24 inch outlet pipe on the backside of the outlet structure. In addition, how will the 40 hour extended detention requirements and/or BMPs be installed within the re-graded detention basin? The plans should be specific in this regard.

Sheet C.301: The flowline elevation shown in the plan view does not match the elevation called-out in the typical section. In addtion, there are multiple flowlines for this outlet structure, and it may be better to reference the typical section on the plan view.

Sheet C.301: A pipe is shown just west of the new outlet structure pipe. It is unlabeled, and a flowline elevation is not called-out. Please call out the flowline elevation, and the size of this pipe.

Sheet C.301: What is the plan for the old detention basin outlet structure? Will it be removed? Public Works recommends removal of this structure.

Will the new building require any new sanitary sewer service?

Sheet C.302: Please show the location of the existing backflow vault and backflow assembly on the plan view. If not present, then a new backlfow vault and backflow assembly may be required near the right of way on the private side and outside of any easements. A gate valve would also be required prior to the backflow vault and assembly.

Sheet C.302: This sheet is entitled, "Drainage Area Map", but the inset says "Utility Plan."

Sheet C.300: This sheet is entitled "Storm Sewer Plan", but the inset states "Utility Plan." Please reconcile.

The index on Sheet C.001 does not match what is shown within the plan set. For instance, Sheet C.300 does not match what is shown on the title of the actual sheet. Also, Sheets C.301 and C.302 are not referenced within the index.

It did not appear that a typical section was provided for the proposed pavement thickness, base, and curb and gutter. Please see the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 12 for specific requirements pertaining to pavement thickness and base for private parking lots.

Please note that an "as-graded" record drawing will be required showing that the site has been graded in accordance with the approved Final Development Plan. This "as-graded" record drawing will be required prior to Substantial Completion of the project.

Sheet C.200: The grading plan shows contours which cross each other on the north side of the project. This should be corrected.

Sheet C.200: Please call out the percentage slope along the swales shown on the north side of the property. Please be aware that 2% is considered a minimum slope on grass.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. This estimate should include all items necessary to complete the work, including: 1) water lines greater than 2 inches diameter, 2) fittings, valves, bends, and tees for water lines, 3) valve boxes and lids, 4) sanitary sewer connection at the main, 5) sanitary sewer stubs (if any), 6) stormwater systems, 7) grading for detention basin, 8) detention basin outlet structure, 9) all stormwater piping and structures, 10) removal of existing detention basin outlet structure, 11) grading to establish proper lot drainage, 12) paving, including compaction, base, and surface and base course asphalt or concrete pavement, 13) public sidewalks, 14) erosion and sediment control devices, 15) final restoration, including black dirt, seeding, sodding, fertilizer, etc.

As a general comment, the plans and stormwater report appear to have been prepared without adequate quality control. There are numerous linework errors, contradictory information contained within the plan view versus the section view for the detention basin retrofit, contradictory information contained within the stormwater report versus the typical section view on the detention basin retrofit, lack of clarity whether a new sanitary service is being proposed as evidenced by the bold sanitary sewer linework, contour lines that cross each other along the north property line, scaling errors, and other drafting issues. Please ensure that the final drawings and final stormwater report eliminate these errors.

Provide a land use schedule that includes total floor area of the existing and proposed building; lot area in square feet and acres; impervious coverage and floor area ratio.

Provide name, location, width, radii, centerline and grade of streets.
