Include a north arrow on the plan sheets. The plan shall be oriented so north is to the top or to the right side of the sheet.

Include a vicinity map with north arrow indicating the location of the property within the City on sheet A100.

According to Sheet A200, a mural/painted wall sign is being proposed for the western building elevation. In order to clarify the difference between a mural and a painted wall sign per the City's sign ordinance, see the following definintions of each: Mural: A design or representation painted, drawn or sculpted on the exterior surface of a building or other structure. A mural does not identify an occupant of a premise or relate solely to the use, business, establishment, or profession conducted, or to a principal product or service sold, offered, provided, or produced. Painted wall sign: Any sign painted, drawn or sculpted on the exterior surface of a building or other structure depicting any business, service or product. The basic difference between the two is that a painted wall sign promotes the goods or services offered by a particular business (commercial), while a mural does not (non-commercial), and there are differing requirements that need to be met for each according to the ordinance. Will the proposed wall sign/mural be promoting the goods or services offered by the business? As a general note, the City is currently in the process of updating it's development ordinance dealing with murals and painted wall signs. Other signage may be approved by separate application, however the proposed mural/wall sign will not be able to be approved until after the subject ordinances are approved by the Lee's Summit City Council.

Provide manufactures specification sheets for all proposed windows and doors.

Provide an elevation of the eastern exterior of the building, and include any proposed modifications that will occur as a result of the proposed project. If no changes to this elevation, please note that.

Colors of all exteriors including walls, trim, accents, roofs, mechanical equipment, etc., shall be indicated on the final development plan. Provide this information.

All roof-mounted equipment shall be screened entirely from view by using parapet walls at the same height as the mechanical units. For additions to existing buildings that do not meet this standard, individual screens will be permitted, with the design subject to approval by the Director.

The proposed ground mounted equipment shall be totally screened from view by landscaping or masonry wall up to a height of the units to be screened.

Where will the exterior trash enclosure(s) be placed, as I do not see them indicated on the plans? In order to meet UDO requirements, 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.

A photometric plan shall be required for all new development, redevelopment, parking lot development or expansion where new outdoor lighting is proposed or when otherwise required by the Director. The photometric plan shall be prepared by a lighting professional that is certified by the National Council on Qualifications for the Lighting Professions (NCQLP), or a State licensed professional engineer, architect, landscape architect or land surveyor. Please refer to UDO Section 7.230 for plan requirements.

Is any new parking lot lighting being proposed? If so, please refer to UDO Section 7.250 for specific parking lot lighting requirments.

All proposed signage will need to be approved by separate application.

On Sheet A200, please label the height of the fence around the outdoor patio area. According to the UDO, outdoor patios/decks associated with stand-alone and pad site businesses shall be 4 foot high security fencing around the patio/deck area when no residential adjacent property exists.

The north ingress/egress has a metal frame bolted to the building and concrete steps that appear to have been installed to provide structural support. Is this going to be left in place or removed as part of the renovation?
