Misc.

Items from previous submittal addressed in the applicants letter dated December 1, 2014.

As previously discussed, all platting/re-platting of the properties shall be required prior to the issuance of a final occupancy.

A full-building permit shall not be issued until the Vacation of Easement application is approved by City Council and executed.

Please add a note stating that "...all construction shall follow the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual as adopted by Ordinance 5813. Where discrepancies exist between these plans and the Design and Construction Manual, the Design and Construction Manual shall prevail."

Please note that the pavement section table on Sheet 5 of 23 does not follow our Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in terms of asphalt base course for parking stalls. The minimum thickness for the base course is five (5) inches for parking stalls.

Sheet 8 of 23: Please label the stormwater improvements as private either on the plan view or within the title block.

Sheet 8 of 23 and 10 of 23: Please add a note stating that the easements are "to be vacated".

Sheet 9 of 23 appears to be missing.

Since the water line is going to become private, backflow vaults and assemblies will need to be installed at each end of the private line (i.e., near Murray Road and Peace Parkway). The vaults will need to be installed on private property outside of any easements, and a gate valve installed just prior to the vault.

Please add a note on the water and sanitary sewer plan sheets stating they are private.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. The Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee is based on this estimate, and is calculated at 3% of the total sitework, plus a per-trip fee of $100 for the collection of water samples. Public and private items to include in the estimate include: 1) storm pipe greater than 6 inches diameter, 2) storm structures, 3) sanitary sewer lines, 4) sanitary sewer manholes and wye connections, 5) water lines greater than 2" diameter, 6) water line fittings, thrust blocks, tees, bends, valves, valve boxes, valve box lids, 7) backflow vault and backflow assemblies, 8) grading to establish proper drainage for the site, 9) grading for new parking lot, 10) subgrade construction including one (1) foot beyond the back of curb, 11) pavement, 12) curb and gutter, 13) public sidewalk, 14) erosion and sediment control devices, 15) final restoration including sodding, seeding, fertilizer, and topsoil.

Provide a land use table on the site plan (Sheet 3) that includes the following: total floor area of proposed building; number of dwelling units; land area in square feet and acres for Lots F and G; number of required and proposed parking spaces; impervious coverage and floor area ratio.

Provide sufficient dimensions to indicate relationship between buildings and property lines.

It's unclear based on the manufacturer's specification sheets if the pole light fixture will be a full-cut off fixture. The UDO requires a flat lense/full-cut-off fixture and be mounted to the pole at a 90-degree angle. Also, the wall luminaire looks to be angled at the bottom. The UDO requires a full-cutoff for wall-mounted lighting.

Provide light pole detail including base height and over-all pole height. Per Unified Development Ordinance Article 7.280.D.2 - All light fixtures on properties within or adjoining residential uses and/or districts shall not exceed 15 feet. Per Unified Development Ordinance Article 7.280.G.1 - All fixtures on developments that adjoin residential uses and/or districts shall be limited to 175-Watts maximum per head through the entire parking lot.

What is the wattage of the pole lights? I do not see it in the manufacturers specification sheet.

FYI- A full-building permit shall not be issued until the Vacation of Easement application is approved by City Council and executed.

Please provide an accessible sign detail and make a note in the accessible sign detail, the sign shall follow the R7-8 model type. Label 36"-60" mounting height above grade, measured to the bottom of the sign.

A portion of the plans are not sealed by a professional engineer. Sealed plans are required when resubmitting.

On Sheet A4 provide a color palette of the proposed building colors.

Label the location of the mechanical equipment and the method of screening proposed. Will the equipment be mounted on the roof or ground mounted? Screening is required, refer to Article 7 of the Unified Development ordinance for specific requirements.

Proposed signs shall be submitted to the Planning and Codes Administration for review and approval, by separate application.

As previously discussed, all platting/re-platting of the properties shall be required prior to the issuance of a final occupancy.

Is a trash enclosure proposed for this site? If so, please indicate the location and provide a detail of the enclosure. All exterior trash storage containers shall be screened so that they are not visible from off the property. Each trash enclosure shall be constructed of masonry walls with a steel gate painted to be compatible with the color of the masonry walls and building it is to serve.

Please include a dashed line indicating the roof line and rooftop mechanical equipment (if proposed), on the elevation. Also, provide the manufacturer's specifications for the proposed mechanical units.

The pavement section on Sheet 5 does not not the Unified Development Ordinance requirements. Per Section Unified Development Ordinance Section 12.120 - Parking Lot Design, 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.

Per Unified Development Ordinance Section 12.120.F.d - All vehicle parking lot areas and access drives in all zoning districts shall have a boundary constructed of straight-back Portland cement concrete curbing (CG-1) or an integral Portland cement concrete sidewalk and curb with a vertical face.
