DE C&O #01 Eng Plans – FP/PP

All required engineering plans and studies, including water lines, sanitary sewers, storm drainage, streets and erosion and sediment control shall be submitted along with the final plat and approved prior to the approval of the final plat. All public infrastructure must be substantially complete, prior to the issuance of any building permits.

All Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fees shall be paid prior to approval of the engineering plans and prior to the issuance of any infrastructure permits or the start of construction (excluding land disturbance permit).

DE C&O #04 Cert FA or Escrow

All subdivision-related public improvements must have a Certificate of Final Acceptance prior to approval of the final plat, unless security is provided in the manner set forth in the City's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Section 16.340.

All permanent off-site easements, in a form acceptable to the City, shall be executed and recorded with the Jackson County Recorder of Deeds prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion. A certified copy shall be submitted to the City for verification.

It is impossible to determine whether the proposed easements shown on the final plat are sufficient to fully-contain the sanitary and water lines because the engineering plans did not show the proposed easements. My suspicion is that the water lines are too close to the edge of the easement to allow for future maintenance, while the sanitary is probably ok. Therefore additional easements may be required prior to engineering plan approval.

The drainage easement shown at the end of the main storm sewer trunk line is shown as twenty (20) feet. It will need to be widened to sixty (60) feet based on the depth and width of the pipe.

There is an extraneous easement that we do not need or want extending from the “curve” in Innovation Parkway to the end of the pipe. This is not needed. It is described as “C/L 20’ D/E S58 degrees 31 minutes, 09 seconds West 94.33”.

A 5-foot sidewalk shall be required along the north side of NW Chipman Road.

A 10-foot multi-use trail shall be required along the east side of NW Ward Road.

Add, label and dimension setbacks for the lots based upon CP-2 standard setbacks.

On all sheets and within the signature block, add the initials "MMC" to the end of the City Clerk's name. The signature block shall read: "Denise R. Chisum, MMC" (with the existing title as shown "City Clerk").

Correct the Planning Commission Secretary to "Fred DeMoro".

Correct the title for Robert G. McKay, AICP to "Director of Planning & Codes Administration".

Add "and Tract A" to the plat title in the certification paragraph.

Add the common area dedication paragraph language since there is a tract.

Add the address 701 NW Ward Road to lot 7.

Add the address 330 NW Tudor Road to Tract A.

Please change the signature block for the City Engineer to George M. Binger III, P.E., City Engineer.

Please provide a note stating whether abandoned oil or gas wells exist on the property. The City has in its possession a report entitled "Environmental Impact Study of Abandoned Oil and Gas Wells in Lee's Summit Missouri" by Edward Alton May, Jr., P.E., dated 1995 which may be examined during normal business hours in the Development Center. Alternatively, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) Division of Geology and Land Survey (DGLS) maintains an online database with the same information. Please be aware that a statement such as "...there is no visible evidence of abandoned oil and gas wells on the property" will not be suffiicient.

An overview plan of the sanitary sewers, stormwater lines and structures, and water lines was not provided with the engineering plans. It was difficult to determine whether the proposed easements were sufficient to fully-contain these infrastructure elements. It is for this reason that minor comments may be forthcoming along with the engineering plan comments which relate to the plat. These engineering plan comments will be submitted to you by May 26, 2015.

Are there any easements which need to be vacated due to realignment of the sanitary sewer? If so, please note these on the plat as "to be vacated by separate document". If new easements are needed for the realigned sanitary sewer, please show their locations on the plat.

It did not appear that sidewalk was shown on the plat. Please show the locations of sidewalk along both sides of Innovation Parkway, both sides of Tudor Rd., and the east side of Ward Rd. Sidewalk width should be specified as five (5) feet. Please show the locations of all ADA-accessible ramps.

Sheet 2 of 4: Please label the easement along the northwest property line of Lot 2.

Sheet 1 of 4: Please change the Drainage Note as follows: "The individual lot owners shall not change or obstruct the drainage flow paths on the lots, unless specific application is made and approved by the City Engineer." A Master Drainage Plan is not required for this development, and hence the need to remove the reference to a Master Drainage Plan.

Sheet 1 of 4; Please provide a note for the detention basin tract stating that "...detention area not part of this plat", or similar language.

Sheet 1 of 4: Common Area note is confusing. Are there any Common Areas on this plat?

Plat Title. Correct the plat title in the title block and dedication paragraph to read: Summit Innovation Center, 1st Plat, Lots 1-7.

Easements Paragraph. Use the standard easements paragraph as shown on the sample on page 13 of Article 16 in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).

Certification Paragraph. Use the final plat certification paragraph language as shown on the sample on page 13 of Artilce 16 in the UDO.

City Signature Blocks. Change the City Engineer from "Dena E. Mezger, P.E." to "George M. Binger III, P.E.". Add the signature block for the Planning Commission Secretary, "Fred DeMoro". In addition, anytime a plat consists of more than one sheet the certifications for city approval are required to be repeated on each sheet in approximately the same location on each sheet.

Label and dimension setbacks.

Add the directional prefix "NW" to "Tudor Road".

There is a dashed line that crosses Lots 2 and 4 on Sheet 3 of 4. Is this the old lot line? Please label accordingly or remove as needed.

Street Name. Is it Innovation Drive or Innovation Parkway? The preliminary development plan showned it as Innovation Drive, but the final plat shows it as Innovation Parkway.

Addresses. Address the Lots as follows: Lot 1 1151 NW Ward Road Lot 2 1131 NW Innovation Parkway Lot 3 1201 NW Innovation Parkway Lot 4 1100 NW Innovation Parkway Lot 5 1050 NW Innovation Parkway Lot 6 1101 NW Innovation Parkway

Remove the common area dedication language on Sheet 1. No common area tracts are being dedicated as part of this plat.

Sidewalks. Add a 5' sidewalk along the entire Chipman Road frontage of Lot 7. Add a 10' multi-use trail along the east side of the plat's entire frontage along Ward Road. Add a 5' sidewalk on both sides of Innovation Parkway.

Shared access easements are needed for the shared driveways serving Lots 4 & 5 and Lots 2 & 3.
