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 2018 International Fire Code.

Imposed Loads

IFC 503.2.3 - Fire apparatus access roads shall be designed and maintained to support the imposed loads of fire apparatus and shall be surfaced so as to provide all-weather driving capabilities. Fire lanes shall be capable of supporting 75,000- pounds. Confirm heavy duty asphalt locations.

DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs is required prior to formal approval. The Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee is based on the approved estimate, and must be paid prior to formal approval of the Final Development Plan.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Contact Field Engineering Inspections 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.

No connection of the "future domestic water line" can be made at this time. When the future building expansion is desired, the connection can be made at that time. Please delete the connection on Sheet CE3.

Comments concerning the public water main extension shall be sent to you separate from these comments. Please ensure those comments are incorporated into the Final Development Plan, in particular, Sheet CE3.

Miscellaneous Correction

Note E on Sheet CE3 indicates that a 1.5 inch water line is to be installed. I assume that a 1.5 inch water meter is to be installed. This meter is installed on a 2inch corp on the main and requires the use of 2" Type K copper piping. Please make clearifications on the plans.

Miscellaneous Correction

Not G on Sheet CE3 does not indicate the size of meter assembly to be used for the irrigation system. Please provide additiona information on the plans note.

Please provide a separate plan set for the public water main extension. Provide sufficient reference notes on the Final Development Plan which direct the contractor and inspector to the separate set of public water main extension plans.

Please move the backflow vault outside the limits of the easement. It appears to slightly encroach upon the easement.

Please indicate the sizing of the domestic and irrigation water meters.

Service lines (i.e., domestic or irrigation lines) from the water main to the meter must be either 3/4", 1", 2", or 3". 1.5 inch service lines are not allowed.

It is not clear what is meant by "future expansion". A separate water meter is shown serving this future expansion, and this is typically not done until a future Final Development Plan is submitted for the future building expansion.

Please reference standard drawing WAT-11 contained elsewhere in the plan set on the Utility Plan sheet.

Please show how the backflow vault will be drained. There are several ways this can be done. Either by providing a hole in the sump and daylighting, connection to a storm sewer box, or construction of an infiltration trench. Otherwise, the backflow vault will fill with water.

Sheet CE6: Please show the extension of MoDOT Type 5 aggregate base beneath the pavement, a minimum of one (1) foot beyond the back of curb.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal drawings. Items to include in the estimate are: 1) storm lines greater than 6 inches diameter, 2) storm boxes and connections to existing storm boxes, 3) water lines, 4) backflow vaults, 4) fire hydrants, 5) valves, valve boxes, fittings, elbows, tees, 6) sanitary sewer service lines, 7) pavement and sawcutting, 8) curb and gutter, 9) subgrade including the aggregate base extended a minimum of one (1) foot beyond the back of curb, 10) grading to achieve proper drainage, 11) grading for parking lot, 12) erosion and sediment control devices and measures, and 13) final restoration, including sodding, seeding, fertilizer, mulch, and topsoil.

PARKING SPACES. Revise the calculated number of parking spaces for the future building expansion listed in the Calculation table on Sheet CE 5 from 10 to 12.

PARKING LOT CURBING. Either CG-1 curbing or temporary asphalt curbing shall be installed along the south boundary of the parking lot/access drive where the pavement will be extended in the future for the development of the property to the south.

TRASH ENCLOSURE. Trash enclosure areas shall be improved with a Portland cement concrete pad and a Portland cement concrete approach 30 feet in length, measured from the enclosure opening. The pad and approach shall be improved with a minimum six inches of full depth unreinforced Portland cement concrete constructed on a sub-grade of four inches of granular base course. The plans currently show a concrete approach 20 feet in length.

ACCESSIBLE PARKING SIGN. Revise the detail on Sheet CE9 to show a minimum sign mounting height of 5'-0" above grade, measured to the bottom of the sign.

LANDSCAPE PLAN. Revise the last general note on the plan to read, "Open areas not covered with other materials shall be covered with sod." Seeding of open areas is not allowed in this case.

ARCHITECTURE. - Label all of the proposed exterior material colors on Sheet A-201. - It isn't clear on the building elevations if any vertical and/or horitzontal offsets or projections are proposed for the building walls. The City's Unified Development Ordinance requires these types of features in order to break up the large wall planes.

MONUMENT SIGN. For your information, approval of the final development plan does not constitute approval of the monument sign that is included in the architectural drawings. The monument sign goes through a separate sign permit approval process. As currently depicted on the architectural drawings, the monument sign exceeds the maximum allowable overall structure size of 96 sq. ft.; the monument has an overall structure size exceeding 100 sq. ft.

Although a private roadway/driveway intersection, stop signs are recommended either north-south approaches or east-west approaches (two-way stop) to establish traffic control.
