DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Public Works Review and Inspection Fee of $8,602.86 (which is based on 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee) must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit from the Codes Administration Department.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Contact Public Works Inspections at (816) 969-1800 at least 48 hours prior to the onset of construction.

DE Contact ROW Inspector

Contact a Right-of-Way Inspector at (816) 969-1800 prior to any land disturbance within the right-of-way. These activities may require a permit.

DE Future Repair Work

Please be aware that any future repair work to public infrastructure (e.g., water main repair, sanitary sewer repair, storm sewer repair, etc.) within public easements will not necessarily include the repair of pavement, curbing, landscaping, or other private improvements which are located within the easement.

PW Submit Land Disturbance (DELETE)

If ground breaking will take place prior to the ssuance of a building permit from Codes, please submit a Land Disturbance Permit application and the required attachments to the Erosion Control Specialist.

DE C&O #12 Cut & Fill

Any cut and / or fill operations, which cause public infrastructure to exceed the maximum / minimum depths of cover shall be mitigated by relocating the infrastructure vertically and / or horizontally to meet the specifications contained within the City’s Design and Construction Manual.

Show the utilities (sanitary and water) on the revised landscape plan.

I am in receipt of the proposed revised landscape plan dated November 3, 2016, for the above referenced project. The proposed plan has the following deficiencies: • The container or caliper size is not provided for the Hot Wings Tatarian Maple Clump and the Sweet Bay Magnolia. • The required street frontage trees and street frontage shrubs are not located adjacent to the streets (NW Ward Road and NW Innovation Parkway) as required. It appears that the # of trees are spread around the entire perimeter of the site. This is incorrect. The street frontage trees are required at a ratio of 1 tree per 30 linear feet of street frontage, and the street frontage shrubs are required at a ratio of 1 shrubs per 20 linear feet of street frontage. There is no street frontage located adjacent to the parking stalls to the northwest of the site and the access road does not count as street frontage (this will merely connect the parking lot of this site to the parking lot of other future sites). Street frontage trees and shrubs are only required along dedicated public street frontages.

Code Statement

All issues pertaining to life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to the safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations, shall be in accordance with the 2012 International Fire Code .

Misc.

Special inspection documentation shall be provided for the installation of the turf blocks.

If the elevator penthouse overrun and/or laundry chute vent cap are visible after construction the parapet may be required to be extended to screen these elements.

A sidewalk connection shall be made between the sidewalk on Innovation Parkway and the drive entrance located along the private drive. A brief memo with an update for this area can be attached as an addendum to the approved plans.

Acknowledgment of changes to the planned access easements upon adjacent properties to the east and north by the owner (or owner's representative). This will cause shared access to be located upon the north adjacent property entirely that abuts its south property line with shared access to the surrounding properties (rather than split on the property line as planned). Similarly, adjustments to the existing access easement on the adjacent property to the east may be necessary to ensure proper driveway alignment of the shared driveway that connects all the surrounding properties to the future right-in/right-out and Innovation Pkwy.

The northeast property line has a 15 foot access easement for the bordering shared driveway. The access easement should be wider and/or consideration of a larger than 15 foot access easement may be needed to the immediate northeast of this property line for a total width that may accommodate the appropriate driveway/private street width. Currently this drive is only 20 feet wide and may not be sufficient for the overall development plan or accommodation of traffic (e.g. fire/truck access). Typical drive width is 28 foot back of curb with space for adjacent sidewalks. Furthermore, the future access is shown with improper geometry/alignment (e.g. no curves at directional changes). This should be corrected to ensure the final development plan properly considers the shared access.

The setback from the north property line appears too narrow (only 10 feet) for the planned right-in/right-out driveway approved on the Summit Place PDP and preliminary plans for overall site master plan. Typically an easement for 28 foot back of curb to back of curb driveway with adjacent sidewalk would be available split on the property line. A concept of how this driveway would be provided in relation to the FDP and other approved PDP needs to be illustrated to ensure compatibility. An adjusted access easement or easement centerline "offset" from the property line may need to be considered and should be coordinated at this time.

Please submit an Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs.

For Information Only- The second permanent access shall be provided when the drive to the lot to the east is developed. Action required: Show where the second drive will access the future drive east of the building.

Misc.

Provide a detail and specification sheet for the turf blocks to be used or the temporary access. Installation will require special inspections to ensure fire department approved turf blocks are installed per specification.

Illustrate the shared driveway (and access easement) along the north side of the property (future right-in/right-out access along Ward Road associated with the Summit Innovation Campus PDP and approved Summit Place PDP) to ensure there's no conflict with the proposed FDP.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs was missing. Please refer to the August 31, 2015 applicant letter for specific items to include in the cost estimate.

Accessible sign. The correct sign has been referenced; however, the detailed description does not match the R7-8 sign. This description should read: A vertical rectangular white sign with a green border and the words "RESERVED PARKING" in green on two lines above a blue handicapped symbol.

Parking. Standard parking space dimensions shall not be less than nine (9) feet wide by nineteen (19) feet long, except where the head of a parking space abuts a six (6) foot wide sidewalk or curbed landscaped area (per Sections 12.120.C.1 & 2). Parking dimensions provided on Sheet C101 indicate that spaces located around the building do not meet the 19' depth requirement. In addition, Sheets SP 1, SP 1.2 E 2.5 & 2.6 show 6 parallel parking spaces adjacent to the rear of the building but Sheets C002 & C101 only show 5 parallel spaces.

Roof-mounted equipment. The revised elevations (Sheets A201 & 202) still show several protrusions from the roof line that are not labeled and do not appear to be screened. Parapet heights shall be increased to screen all roof-top mechanical units and penetrations (e.g. exhaust vents, etc.).

Trash enclosure. Modifications cannot be requested at the final development plan phase of development. Modifications can only be requested at the preliminary development plan phase and must be approved through the City Council through a public hearing. PVC panels do not meet the requirements of Section 7.180.G.

Lighting. Coordinate lighting nomaclature in the cut sheets with Sheets SP 1, E 2.5, E 2.6, and E 4.0. For example, on Sheet SP 1 the flag pole lighting is shown as SL02 but is SL3 on Sheet E 2.5 and is not even shown on Sheet E 2.6. Likewise, the pole lights are labeled as SL01 on Sheet SP 1 but are labeled as BB on the electrical sheets. In addtion, Sheets E 2.5 & 2.6 show a rectangular box on the north side of the entry/exit but it is not labeled. Please remove or label as necessary.

Flag pole height. The maximum height allowed for flag poles under Article 8 of the UDO is 25 feet.

Illustrate the shared driveway along the east side of the site and future driveway connections to ensure there is no conflict. The shared driveway and its easement do not appear to match the PDP.

Illustrate the shared driveway (and access easement) along the north side of the property (future right-in/right-out access along Ward Road associated with the Summit Innovation Campus PDP and approved Summit Place PDP) to ensure there's no conflict with the proposed FDP.

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."

Is the fire line being installed prior to the road construction on Innovation Parkway? If so, a casing carrier pipe is not required. If the fire line is being installed after road construction, the fire line shall be bored, and a casing pipe installed as per the City of Lee's Summit standard details.

Asphalt pavement detail on Sheet C501 does not meet the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Article 12. Please see the UDO Article 12 for specific requirements.

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 cost of the site work, plus a $100 per trip water test observation and sample collection fee. Items to include, both public and private, in the estimate are: 1) stormwater pipe greater than 6 inches diameter, 2) stormwater structures, 3) sanitary sewer connection to the main, 4) water lines greater than 2 inches in diameter, 5) connection to the water main, 6) fire hydrants, 7) backflow vault and backflow assembly, 8) valves, valve boxes, and covers, 9) public sidewalks, 10) grading to establish proper drainage, 11) grading for parking lot, 12) subgrade preparation, including the area one (1) foot beyond the back of curb, 13) aggregate for subgrade, if used, 14) pavement, 15) curb and gutter, 16) erosion and sediment control devices, 17) final restoration, including seeding, sodding, turf reinforcement mat (if used), mulch, fertilizer, and topsoil.

Is the meeting/board room open for public use or guests only? If open for public use additional parking will be required. One option would be to enter into a shared parking agreement with an adjacent lot and build the parking needed, or not to allow non-guest use until additional parking is available.

Accessible parking. One of the four required accessible spaces is required to be van accessible per Table 12-3 in Section 12.080 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). See Section 12.080.B. and H., respectively, regarding the required width for the adjacent aisle and vertical clearance.

Acccessible sign. The accessible sign detail provided on Sheet C501 is incorrect. The standard the City of Lee's Summit uses is R7-8 (without the arrow).

FYI. Per Section 12.120.C.2, where parking adbuts 6 feet of either sidewalk or curbed greenspace the length of the spaces may be reduced 2 feet (from 19 feet to 17 feet).

There appear to be some plan inconsistencies. For example, not all sheets show the temporary fire access and the electrical site plan sheets show a different parking lot layout with 9 additional spaces. In addition, the landscape plan has NW Innovation "Drive" but it should be "Parkway".

Roof-mounted equipment. There appears to be some sort of roof-mounted mechanical equipment projecting from the roof on the elevations. Per Section 7.180.E. "all roof-mounted quipment shall be screened entirely from view by using parapet walls at the same height as the mechanical units". The only instances where this has been waived in the past, for new construction, is when it has been shown to staff that the line-of-sight is such that the protrusion would not be visible.

Ground-mounted equipment. Provide details for the ground mounted mechanical screening. Per Section 7.180.F. "ground mounted equipment shall be totally screened from view by landscaping or masonry wall up to a height of the units to be screened".

Trash enclosure. Provide details for the trash enclosure. Per 7.180.G. all trash enclosures "shall be constructed of masonry walls withy a steel gate painted to be compatible with the color of the masonbry walls and building it is to serve".

Sign permits. Sign permits shall be obtained prior to the installation of any signs through the Department of Planning & Codes Administration. All signs proposed must comply with the sign requirements as outlined in the sign section of the UDO.

Photometric plan. The photometric plan shall be represenatitive of all exterior lighting (including pole-mounted, building-mounted, recessed, and under-canopy. Provide a break down on the photometric plan of the maximum footcandles, minimum footcandles, average maintained footcandles, and maximum to minimum ratio for each lighting zone per Section 7.230.E. of the UDO.

Uniformity ratios. Prove that the required uniformity ratios (Section 7.250.F. of the UDO) are being met.

Fluorescent lighting. Per Section 7.220C.6 fluorescent lighting is prohibited except as accent lighting or in shielded wall packs/scones. Additionally, there is an exception for egress lights.

Cut sheets. Provide the cut sheets for all exterior lighting.

Street frontage trees. The landscape plan appears to be short 2 required street frontage trees. The street frontage trees are required along NW Ward Road and NW Innovation Parkway.

Parking lot screening. Provide the required parking lot screening per Section 14.120 of the UDO. This screen can be a combination of plants, earthen berm, and/or a wall.

Provide a list of possible plant materials and their proposed sizes. See Section 14.050 of the UDO for minimum size requirements.

Add a note to the landscape plan regarding plant material near the temporary fire access that may be installed once that access goes way.

Correct the label on Sheet C002, and any other sheets as necessary, to read "15' Access Easement" not "setback". In addition, show the full access drive (the portion not being built for this development should be shown in grey scale).

Access road. Curbing shall be provided at the end of the access road where it will be extended in the future. Temporary asphalt curbing is acceptable.

Driveway/Drive aisles. All drives intended to serve two-way traffic shall have a minimum pavement width of 24' (28' from back of curb to back of curb). The plans shown driveway/drive aisles at 24' measured from back of curb to back of curb, please revise accordingly. This also applies to the access road itself.

Easement encroachment. The trash enclosure shall not encroach into any easement. The plan shows it in a 7.5' U/E.

Pavement details. The asphalt and concrete details do not meet the minimum pavement design standards. See Section 12.120.B for the City standards.
