DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee of $1,108.77 (which is based on 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee(s)) must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit.

An agreement for the construction of the public sidewalk along Jefferson St must be executed prior to issuance of any type of occupancy for the structure. An estimate for the sidewalk should be provided separately.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Contact a Development Services inspector at (816) 969-1200 at least 48 hours prior to the onset of construction.

DE Contact ROW Inspector

Prior to any activities within the right-of-way that are not directly associated with a specific infrastructure or building permit, a separate right-of-way permit may be required. Contact a Right-of-Way Inspector at (816) 969-1800 to obtain the required 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.

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.

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. For information only.

Thank you for submitting the manufacture’s spec sheets for the proposed mechanical equipment to be used. The spec sheets submitted show that this will be a roof top mounted unit, however sheet A2.10 does not show any the units or screening on the elevations. Please submit building elevations that show the location of the proposed mechanical equipment. Please also submit the location, size and materials to be used in all screening along with a dashed line indicating the roof line and rooftop mechanical equipment.

Please submit the manufacture’s spec sheets for all proposed mechanical equipment to be used (2nd request).

Thank you for identifying the locations of the proposed lighting and providing the photometric plan. I am still in need of the manufacture’s spec sheets for the proposed lighting wall packs (2nd request).

In the Land Use Table on sheet C100 please clarify the total floor area of the proposed building vs. total floor area of all the buildings on the site.

Please refer to comment #4 contained in the applicant letter dated Jan. 30, 2018. Section views are provided for the sidewalk, with no reference to edge of pavement, or bottom of swale/ditch. In addition, these should be grading details, not just "sidewalk section views".

In reference to the above comment, no grading plan in the plan view was provided.

In reference to the above two comments concerning grading in relation to the edge of pavement and the sidewalk, it does not appear the sidewalk will meet ADA standards. For instance, ADA allows for the installation of a sidewalk to coincide with the running grade of the road, but this does not appear to be met. The sidewalk, rather, is shown with no regard to the running grade of the road (i.e., Jefferson St.).

In regard to the above comment, a site visit on Feb. 12, 2018 showed what appeared to be a significant grade change at the northeast corner of the project, where the sidewalk terminates. It appears that a significant elevation change will exist if these plans were followed. In other words, any future sidewalk extension to the north would be impossible without a significant re-design and demolition.

The graphical vertical scale for the "sidewalk section view" does not appear to be correct.

The power poles at the north end of the proposed sidewalk will likely need to be reset after grading to comply with the ADA standards for running street grade.

Sheet C.600: Please correct the typographical error "GOE-GRID".

A revised Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs is required to show the additional grading work in the right of way. This work includes the construction of the sidewalk to comply with ADA standards.

The estimate discussed above did not appear to include the MoDOT base to be installed one (1) foot beyond the back of curb.

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. For information only.

Please add a land use and sit data table to the plans. The information in these tables must include; • Area of land in sq. ft. and acres • Total floor area • Number of required and provided parking spaces • Impervious coverage • Floor area ratio

Since a site data table was not included with the submitted plans I am unable to calculate or comment on parking requirements. Once the site data table information is submitted additional parking comments may be made.

Please continue the 30’ building line setback the full length of the eastern plat boundary adjacent to SW Jefferson St.

Please remove the existing gravel note and outline from the plans.

Is any exterior lighting being proposed? If so you must identify the locations of the fixtures and label them on the plans. A photometric plan will also need to be submitted along with the manufacture’s spec sheets.

Please submit the manufacture’s spec sheets for all proposed mechanical equipment to be used.

On sheet A2.10 a detail is given for a ground sign. Please identify on the site plan where the proposed location of this sign.

Based on the new street frontage and lot square footage, new landscaping vegetation is required. • 3 street trees • 5 street shrubs • 8 open yard shrubs • 4 open yard trees Existing trees and/or shrubs that are to be retained to satisfy these requirements shall meet the following standards. • Evergreen trees shall be at least 6 feet in height. • Deciduous trees shall be a minimum of a 2 inch caliper. • Trees shall be free from mechanical injuries, insect infestations and disease. Please update the landscaping plans to reflect the required number of trees and bushes. If it is your intention to count the existing vegetation towards your landscaping requirements please confirm they comply with the criteria above and label the plans accordingly.

Please provide details for the trash enclosure referenced on sheet C. 100.

Sheet C. 100 shows what appears to be the existing sidewalk and a proposed new sidewalk. Please only show the proposed new sidewalk.

A 5’ sidewalk is required to be extended to the property boundary along SW Jefferson ST. Please update the plans accordingly.

Please correct the cover page references to the City of Pleasant Hill.

Please delete the reference to KCAPWA design criteria, and leave the reference to the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual.

Sidewalk should be extended the full length of the plat boundary (i.e., along Jefferson St. to the north).

The grading plan does not show sufficient detail for placement of the sidewalk along Jefferson St. Since this is an open ditch roadway, cross-sections should be provided, in addition to a grading plan in plan view.

The maximum design slope for the area between the sidewalk and the ditch is 3:1. Please keep this in mind during the design.

The existing gravel entrance on Jefferson St. should be removed, along with any culverts, pipes, etc. that are existing. Grading should be performed to create a suitable open ditch along Jefferson St. Please provide sufficient notes, and please show the grading on the grading plan and cross-sections discussed earlier.

Sheet C.300: Please label the existing backflow vault.

All Sheets: Please label Jefferson St.

Sheet C.600: Concrete paving is shown with geogrid. Is this desired? If not, then please remove the reference to geogrid. If using asphaltic concrete, then show an alternate with asphaltic concrete.

An Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings.
