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 (which is calculated as 3% of the total infrastructure cost) is $8,362.24 These must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit.

DE Contact Field Eng. Inspector

Prior to the commencement of any construction activities, the Contractor shall contact Field Engineering Inspections at (816) 969-1200 to coordinate a preconstruction meeting / conference with the assigned Field Engineering Inspector.

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.

It appears the "Master Drainage Plan" dated Nov. 20, 2020 (hereinafter referred to as "the stormwater report") was developed not only to cover work undertaken by this application, but by work covered by another application which was only recently received within the past week (i.e., the renovation project covered by a separate Final Development Plan application). Will the work covered by this particular application result in increased impervious area, and if so, what is the net increase in terms of gross square footage and percentage of existing impervious area? In order to move forward with the application, these questions need to be addressed. This will have a bearing on the applicability of stormwater detention to this portion of the overall project.

The waiver request appears to request an exception to the design criteria for this particular project, along with other portions of the project covered by a separate Final Development Plan which was recently received within the past week. It is possible that no significant increase in impervious area will occur for this portion of the project (i.e., the athletic field portion). If so, then a waiver would not be required. It should be noted that staff will not support such a waiver, since it would appear detention could be constructed meeting the Comprehensive Control Strategy, and no justification was provided why it could not be constructed to this standard.

If it is determined that detention is required for this portion of the project (i.e., the athletic field upgrades), the plans covering the renovation and detention improvements must be approved prior to approval of these plans. This is due to the fact that the detention basin would need to be constructed prior to any other activities on the site, with the exception of erosion and sediment control.

If it is determined that detention is not required for this particular portion of the project, then these plans could be approved prior to approval of the renovation plans. These renovation plans were received last week, and are currently under review.

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.

The stormwater study utilized the wrong methodology. Although the Comprehensive Conrol Strategy was discussed, the pre-versus-post development criteria was used. Please revise report and plans as appropriate.

An itemized and sealed Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs should accompany your final submittal. The estimate should include only those items reviewed or inspected by the engineering group. This would include all pavement, grading to establish proper drainage, stormwater lines and structures, water lines and valves, detention basin, sanitary sewer lines and manholes and cleanouts, erosion and sediment control devices, final restoration including sodding, seeding, fertilizer, mulch, and topsoil.

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

Will there be new ground or roof top mounted mechanical equipment? If so please provide the manufacturer’s specification sheets for proposed mechanical equipment to be used. Please also show the location, size, and type of material to be used in all screening of ground mounted mechanical equipment.

On the elevations of all sides of proposed buildings please provide notation indicating building materials to be used on exteriors and roofs.
