Staff cannot administratively approve an exception on the screening of the RTU’s, the parapet will need to be increased in height to screen them to meet the UDO’s regulation.

The north and West elevations requires additional architectural detail. Additional material changes are needed to break up the amount of proposed E.I.F.S. In addition, vertical and horizontal interest is needed along with potential projections or offsets to break up the flat wall.

Please refer to Michael Park's comment regarding the VROW request.

Provide a photometric plan. also provide the manufacture's specifications for all proposed exterior lighting. (This was not found with the resubmittal)

After further thought, the parking spaces along the west property line can be reduced to 17-feet to face of curb since they can overhang two feet into the grassy area to the west. The spaces will have to be reduced to 17-feet in order for the drive aisle to meet the 24-foot minimum width. The drive aisle width cannot take into account the two-foot of curb. Also, please confirm the two spaces to the north and east of the lot is 9-feet to the face of the curb.

Provide a color version of the elevations.

Provide a photometric plan. Also provide the manufactures specifications for all proposed exterior lighting.

The roof top units do not appear to be screened via the parapet. The parapet needs to be increased in height to screen the roof top units.

A Vacation of Right Of Way form is needed for the portions of parking spaces that will be affected.

Provide more detail for the outdoor fencing area, to include a detail of the fence and the proposed location of the fenced in areas.

The depth of the parking spaces along the western property line needs to be increased to 19-feet in length. The two parking spaces located on the north portion of the lot do not meet the minimum width of 9-feet. and minimum depth of 19-feet.

Provide a landscape worksheet to illustrate the required quantities of trees and shrubs, and how it was determined in respect to the Unified Development Ordinance. Additional trees and shrubs are needed to meet landscaping requirements. The required landscaping needs are as follows: -six shrubs are needed meet the parking screening for the spaces along SW Tower Park Dr. -A total of 6 trees are required along SW Tower Park Dr. to meet the street tree requirement. -A total of 8 shrubs are needed along SW Tower Park Dr. to meet the street shrub requirement. -A total of 5 trees are required to meet the open yard tree requirement. -the caliper size for shade trees shall be 3" -the height for evergreen trees shall be 8'

The north and West elevations requires additional architectural detail. Additional material changes are needed to break up the amount of proposed E.I.F.S. In addition, vertical and horizontal interest is needed along with potential projections or offsets to break up the flat wall.

Provide a trash enclosure detail. Please reference Article 7 for design standards.

Please reference the R7-8 accessible sign within the detail.

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

Provide a statement noting the location and limits of the 1% Annual Chance Flood, as set forth on the current FEMA maps with reference to the panel number.

Label the right-of-way width for all roadways.

Are any easements being proposed as part of this project?

Label the surrounding property information.

Provide a statement indicating if any the location of all oil and/or gas wells within the subject property. Provide a reference as to where this information was obtained.

Any proposed signs require a sign permit to be submitted and reviewed for approval.

A stormwater detention memorandum was missing from the submittal. The memorandum must be signed and sealed, with a statement concerning the detention being provided by an off-site entity (i.e., Kessler Ridge at New Longview detention basin), and how the future maintenance of this facility will be proportioned to each property owner with drainage entering this basin.

A site-specific design is required for all ADA-accessible ramps within the right of way (i.e., the new commercial entrance on SW Tower Park Dr.). It is no longer acceptable within the City of Lee's Summit to specify a design by reference to a standard detail. Items that are required in the site-specific design are listed in Section 5304.8 of the City of Lee's Summit Design and Construction Manual. There are eleven (11) items necessary to be included in the design, some of which are not required such as the detectable warning surface.

Please be aware that the site-specific design for the ADA-accessible ramps discussed above do not necessarily need a "ramp" in this instance. It may be possible to provide an ADA-accessible route across the commercial entrance, provided the grade from SW Tower Park Dr. is not severe, and does not result in vehicles "bottoming-out". The width of this ADA-accessible route should be a minimum of 5 feet.

Please be aware that the ADA-accessible design parameters differ a bit from what is shown on the City of Lee's Summit standard details for ADA-accessible ramps. The City of Lee's Summit standard details, which should not be used on this project, serve a different purpose (i.e., field design, where a right of way permit is obtained by private entities without engineering plans). The design parameters which must be followed in the City of Lee's Summit are listed in Table LS-5 and Table LS-6. There is a maximum cross-slope of 1.5%, and a maximum running slope of 7.5%, and these parameters differ from PROWAG and the City of Lee's Summit standard details. These more stringent design standards allow for construction tolerance.

At a minimum, an 8 inch thick KCMMB commercial entrance is required from the right of way line, to the sawcut on SW Tower Park Dr. Please call-out on the site plan on Sheet C1.

Sheet C2 "Grading": How will the adjacent property to the southwest continue to drain? Will grading be provided to the back of curb to allow for continued drainage from this property? Will off-site grading be required to make this transition? Has the adjacent property owner been contacted concerning this grading?

Is there a particular reason PEP pipe is specified for storm drainage?

Sheet C3: Please be specific how the end of pipe to be extended in the future will be plugged and capped.

All Stormwater Profile Sheets: Please show the hydraulic grade line for the design storm event on the profile view. It appears the 100 year storm event was calculated, based on the table in the lower right hand corner.

Sheet C4: Please be specific about the method used to plug and cap the end of the storm line to be extended in the future.

Sheet C4: It appears an existing fire hydrant was omitted from this sheet near the intersection of SW Tower Park Dr. and SW Longview Blvd. We are showing a fire hydrant located in the northwest corner of this intersection.

Sheet C4: Please reference Sheet C10, detail WAT-11 for the water meter and vault, rather than "...per City of Lee's Summit Water Dept. Requirements".

Sheet C7: A separate curb and gutter detail is required, showing the aggregate base, subgrade stabilization or geogrid extending a minimum of one (1) foot beyond the back of curb. The detail that is provided on this sheet is not accurate in regard to new construction of curb and gutter.

Sheet C8: The asphaltic concrete typical sections meet our Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). In fact, they exceed our UDO. Please be aware that our inspector shall enforce this design.

Concerning the Missing Fire Hydrant Comment: Please be aware that the new sidewalk on SW Tower Park Dr. may be in conflict with the location of the existing fire hydrant. Relocation of the fire hydrant may be necessary to meet City standards.

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, plus a nominal "per trip" fee for the observation and collection of water samples (if required). Items to include in the estimate include: 1) storm lines greater than 6 inches in diameter, 2) stormwater structures, inlets, etc., 3) sanitary sewer lines and extensions, including laterals, 4) fire hydrant relocation, 5) paving, 6) aggregate base course, including the area one (1) foot beyond the back of curb, 6) curb and gutter, 7) subgrade stabilization or geogrid, including the area one (1) foot beyond the back of curb, 8) sidewalk, 9) ADA-accessible ramps in the right of way, 10) KCMMB commercial entrance, 11) sawcuts, 12) grading to establish proper drainage on the site, 13) erosion and sediment control measures and devices, and 14) final restoraton, including sodding, sedding, fertilizer, mulch (do not include trees, shrubs, and ornamentals).
