For information only.

Revise Grate Inlet Section A-A on Sheet C4.3 to represent the grate inlet referenced and resubmit the sheet.

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 $15,239.68 (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 Development Services 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)

Submit a Land Disturbance Permit application and the required attachments to the Erosion Control Specialist prior to any land disturbance activities that are to occur prior to obtaining a building permit from the Codes Administration Department. Approval of these plans does not constitute approval of the erosion control plan. Contact Barton Reese at (816) 969-1800 for new land disturbance permitting details.

Details were provided on the grated inlet conversion, but it appears the new entrance is designed to convey stormwater from the street into the interior of the site. For instance, please review the contour lines in the vicinity of this new entrance. It would appear stormwater will be directed into the interior of the development according to these contours. Wouldn't it be easier to "ramp-up" the commercial entrance from the street to the ADA-accessble ramp, and provide a simple flat area for the ADA-accessible ramp? It appears the ADA-accessible ramp is creating this adverse situation with the drainage, and hence, might be the better solution to keep stormwater from entering the development from the street.

Two (2) Neenah 3339-A grated inlet tops are proposed. Have calculations been performed showing these two (2) grated inlet tops will have sufficinent capacity to capture upstream stormwater?

The frame and grate top is called-out as a Neenah Foundry R-3339-A or approved equal. This is a frame and grate combination for one (1) grate. As such, it appears it will be impossible to construct as shown (i.e., two frames cannot be constructed as shown without hitting each other).

The Neenah Foundy R-3339-A frame is 38.75 inches square at its base. The interior of the box appears to be 36 inches wide. It appears this frame will not fit.

Two of these grated inlets do not appear to fit within the 5 foot length of the existing curb inlet. In other words, placing two (2) of these single grated inlets side-by-side does not appear possible.

It would appear a new box might be warranted at this location based on the above comments.

On Sheet L1.1, revise the street name for the east/west portion of NE Akin Drive. This portion of street was renamed to NE Morgan Drive. In addition, reference the NE Morgan Drive within the appropriate landscape calculation area for the street frontage calculation.

The grated inlet conversion does not appear to be properly detailed. A note is provided, but no reference to the sheet number, detail number, and the detail sheet does not appear to show how this will be accomplished. Please provide a complete detail, including reference notes listing the detail number and sheet number on Sheets C1.1, C1.2, and C3.2.

Please ensure the elevations of the grated inlet conversion allow for proper drainage to the grated inlet. Please review the elevation plan and ensure stormwater will be directed to the grated inlet.

The Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs appeared to be missing the grated inlet conversion.

Propose a consolidated driveway plan/connected parking lot for the future expansion on the NW side of the building. Only one driveway is supported in consideration of the Access Management Code within the proximity of these two driveways shown on the plans.

The site design must accommodate functional use of the truck docks without requireing trucks to back in from the public road. Show how a truck can manuever the site and perform all required turns without use of the public right-of-way.

It appears the new commercial entrance on the north end of the project can be moved northward to eliminate the conflict with the existing curb inlet.

The same comment above would also apply to the southernmost commercial entrance.

The water meter is shown too far away from the commercial entrance. The water meter should be placed in an area easily-accessible to Water Utilities personnel. In this case, the water meter should be placed reasonably close to a commercial entrance.

Note 6 on Sheet C1.1 refers to an existing sanitary sewer stub. It appears the linework on this sheet is confusing.

Is there a reason that DIP pipe is specified for the fire line? C900 pipe would be acceptable. If DIP is used, please be aware of the requirements concerning polywrapping the DIP.

ADA-accessible ramp details must be provided for each ADA-accessible ramp. The generic details in the back of the plan set do not follow the recently-updated Section 5300 of the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual. Please refer to Section 5300 in terms of required information on the details. While a spot elevation plan is a good start, it will not substitute for the minimum-required information contained in Section 5300.

Sheet C1.2: The City does not support the conversion of the curb inlets to grated inlets. It appears the new commercial approaches can be moved slightly to eliminate the need for conversion.

Sheet C2.1: A spot-check of the spot elevation shown on the sidewalk revealed that a design slope of 2.0% was used. Section 5300 of the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual requires a design slope of 1.5%, along with specific design elements and call-outs specified in Section 5304.8. A specific design detail is required for each public ADA-accessible ramp (i.e., within right of way or a sidewalk easement).

Sheet C4.1: Curb and gutter details should show the inclusion of aggregate and subgrade stablilization/geogrid a minimum of one (1) foot beyond the back of curb.

Sheet C4.3: Sidewalk ramp details do not follow Section 5300 of the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual. For instance, a "Landing" is not needed, truncated domes are not desired for commercial entrances, and the "Type A Ramp" detail is not being used on the project. In addition, incorrect slopes are called-out (e.g., ramp cross-slope of 2% instead of 1.5% cross-slope). We recommend the elimination of these standard drawings since a specific detail is required for each ADA-accessible ramp within the right of way.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. Please include all work necessary to complete the sitework (i.e., not the building, parking lot lighting, or private sidewalks within the development).

The recorded plat for this lot proposes a 10 foot sidewalk/trail along the north segment of NE Akin Drive. Please revise the plans to reflect this 10 foot sidewalk.

The street name for the east/west portion of NE Akin Drive has been renamed to NE Morgan Drive, please update all sheets.

Label the right-of-way dimension for NE Akin Dr. and NE Morgan Dr.

The future building and parking lot expansions will require a separate final development at the time the expansions are needed or proposed.

Revise the parking spaces widths and depths to meet the minimum 9 foot width and 17 foot depth UDO requirement for parking spaces. The dimension should be measured from the face of the curb, it appears the dimensions are off by .5 feet.

The maximum height for flag poles is 25 feet. Please revise Note #29 on Sheet A1.1 that indicates the flag pole will have a maximum height of 30 feet.

Staff is unable to support the future parking lot driveway located on the northern limits of the lot. Revise the plans connecting the two parking lots internally rather than providing an additional driveway.

Please verify there is adequate space for large truck deliveries to be performed "on-site", staff cannot support large truck stopping and maneuvering within the public right-of-way (NE Akin Dr.). Perhaps the building/parking could be shifted to the east to accommodate large truck traffic.

The drive aisle located closest to the loading dock area between the parking spaces and loading dock apron does not meet the minimum aisle width standard of 24 feet. Please revise to meet the minimum drive aisle width.

On Sheet A1.2, revise the ADA signage detail to reference the R7-8 model.

On Sheet A1.2, include the brick color for the trash enclosure and the color of the painted gate for the closure. The gate shall be painted to be compatible with the color of the masonry walls and building it is to serve.

On Sheet A3.1, indicate with dashed lines the location of the roof-top-units. RTU's shall be screened by a parapet wall to the height of the units. If ground mounted units are proposed please indicate location on a sight plan and provide screening to the height of the units.

On Sheet A3.1 label the color of the proposed overhead doors.

On Sheet L1.1, reference the NE Morgan Drive Street within the appropriate landscape calculation area.

The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) requires all light fixtures on properties within or adjoining residential uses and/or districts that are separated by a non-arterial street and are within the perimeter area shall not exceed 15 feet. Outside the perimeter area, the overall height may be increased to 20 feet in height, measured to the top of the fixture from grade. For purpose of this standard, the perimeter area shall be measured 100 feet from the property line closest to the residential use and/or district. It appears two of the parking pole fixtures will need to be shifted to the east to meet this requirement or lowered in height.

On Sheet C1.1 label the surrounding property information.

Provide a statement indication the location of all oil and/or gas wells within the subject property and reference where this information was obtained.

Sign permits shall be submitted to and approved by the Development Services Department prior to installation.
