Lee's Summit

DE C&O #03 Eng & Insp Fees

All Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fees shall be paid prior to approval of the Master Drainage Plan associated with this application.

DE C&O #05 As-Graded MDP

The As-graded Master Drainage Plan shall be submitted to and accepted by the City prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion and prior to the issuance of any building permits for the development.

DE C&O #06 Land Disturbance

A Land Disturbance Permit shall be obtained from the City if groundbreaking will take place prior to the issuance of an site development permit, or building permit.

The notarized temporary grading easement appears to have been whited-out on the Grantor space, and the phrase "UNIVERSAL RENTALS" pasted on the top of the original wording. It would appear, therefore, an alteration of the original notarized document occurred, thus rendering the document unenforceable.

The easement document must not only specify the Grantee in terms of current owner, but the land for which it applies. As submitted and recorded, the easement merely grants rights to a person, and that person will no longer own the property in question after the sale. We would recommend the applicant submit a courtesy review copy of the easement to the City for review prior to execution and recordation to avoid these situations. Please be aware the original submittal of the easement was left blank for the Grantee, and we understood the applicant would ensure the Grantee was properly identified in terms of name/address, and land to which the easement applies.

Please see Planning comments concerning plat note additions and discrepancies related to incorrect location (Cobey Creek). Also, no plat language was provided concerning building permits not being issued until such time as the work included in the Master Drainage Plan has been completed.

DE C&O #01 Eng Plans – FP/PP

All required engineering plans and studies, including water lines, sanitary sewers, storm drainage, streets and erosion and sediment control shall be submitted along with the final plat and approved prior to the approval of the final plat. All public infrastructure must be substantially complete, prior to the issuance of any building permits.

DE C&O #02 Master Drainage Plan

A Master Drainage Plan (MDP) shall be submitted and approved in accordance with the City’s Design and Construction Manual for all areas of the development, including all surrounding impacted areas, along with the engineering plans for the development. The MDP shall address drainage level of service issues on an individual lot basis.

DE C&O #03 Eng & Insp Fees

All Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fees shall be paid prior to approval of the associated engineering plans and prior to the issuance of any infrastructure permits or the start of construction (excluding land disturbance permit).

DE C&O #04 Cert FA or Escrow

All subdivision-related public improvements must have a Certificate of Final Acceptance prior to approval of the final plat, unless security is provided in the manner set forth in the City's Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). If security is provided, building permits may be issued upon issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion of the public infrastructure as outlined in Section 1000 of the City's Design and Construction Manual.

DE C&O #05 As-Graded MDP

The As-graded Master Drainage Plan shall be submitted to and accepted by the City prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion and prior to the issuance of any building permits for the development.

DE C&O #06 Land Disturbance

A Land Disturbance Permit shall be obtained from the City if ground breaking will take place prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit, building permit, or prior to the approval of the Final Development Plan / Engineering Plans.

The application is missing the following items: 1) off-site stormwater improvement plans, 2) off-site easement(s) for stormwater improvements (we are only showing an unexecuted and unrecorded temporary construction easement), 3) Master Drainage Plan for the new subdivision. The response to comment letter states these items were submitted, and our tracking software shows something was attempted for upload on 6/22/2020, but it does not exist.

If the work on the off-site improvements has not been issued a Certificate of Final Acceptance, then an irrevocable letter of credit could be submitted to record the plat. No building permit, however, could be issued until an as-graded and approved Master Drainage Plan has been submitted, and the off-site improvements are substantially complete.

A review was not completed as an electronic copy of the plat was not submitted. Provide and electronic copy at resubmittal.

Plat appears to encroach upon parcel to the south. Ladwig & Associates will record the larger survey of the surrounding area with the County. Once the County GIS approves it, we can look at the plat in light of the new linework.

A Master Drainage Plan was missing from the submittal. This plan should also address the off-site grading across Lot 17A, Replat of Lowe's Addition, Lots 15, 16, and 17, and any other grading beyond this lot that is necessary to establish proper drainage.

A review was not completed as an electronic copy of the plat was not submitted. Provide and electronic copy at resubmittal.

A restriction note shall be included on the final plat stating: “Individual lot owner(s) shall not change or obstruct the drainage flow paths on the lots, as shown on the Master Drainage Plan, unless specific application is made and approved by the City Engineer."

Plat corner control points do not reflect the area platted: these control points lie near SW Noel and SW 2nd if using feet. There is no reference to feet or meters, and no grid factor.

Make the former lot number references and plat titles a lighter color so it's not so busy.

A note should be added concerning the Master Drainage Plan. At the current time, a Master Drainage Plan may be the best method for assuring the swale in the rear of the lots is installed according to plan. If not providing a separate Master Drainage Plan and subsequent as-built Master Drainage Plan, then a Final Development Plan might be sufficient to ensure this is constructed.

The required note concerning the presence of abandoned oil and gas wells was missing from the plat. Please indicate whether abandoned oil or gas wells exist, and the method used to verify this information. Please be aware that visual indication of the presence of abandoned oil and gas wells is not sufficient. Either consult with the MDNR Division of Geology and Land Survey database, or perform an office visit at City Hall to review the 1995 report by Edward Alton May, P.E.

Please submit an electronic copy of plat for GIS review.

Infrastructure plans are required for this subdivision. This includes the preparation of engineering plans for stormwater management, as well as a Master Drainage Plan. Please see the comments related to the Preliminary Development Plan for further details.

A Master Drainage Plan shall be required for this subdivision. Please change the drainage note to reflect this requirement.

A general utility easement of 10 foot minimum width is required along the street frontage.

Provide a vicinity map, with a north arrow.

The type weight for lettering is heavy in places and makes letters blurry and unable to read.

Provide the building line labels. Reconcile between the related preliminary development plan to be consistent.
