On the EOOPCC sheet, please remove the stripping, lighting and non-applicable cost items. Make sure to also revise the proposed size of sanitary sewer lateral and account for the missing cost items (e.g. sanitary cleanout and connection to existing water main).

Please revise the design cross-slope of sidewalk pavement to 1.5% maximum on applicable construction detail(s) shown on sheet 12.

Please provide a stormwater memorandum summarizing the stormwater detention requirements for this site in relation to the proposed improvements. This is needed for our files to demonstrate adequate detention facilities are being provided.

Retaining wall not provided. Deferred to construction per request. Action required: Complete retaining wall design must be provided before installation and inspection.

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 plan currently shows a concrete pad 14 feet in length, measured from the enclosure opening.

SIDEWALK LINE WORK. A segment of the sidewalk improvement along the radius of the northeast corner of the Private Drive A and B intersection appears to be missing.

DRIVEWAY ENTRY WIDTH. - The minimum pavement width at the parking lot entry off Private Drive B shall be a minimum of 24', excluding curb and gutter (28' from back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The drive currently measures 27' from back-of-curb to back-of-curb). The curb line shall be pulled back a minimum of 1' to meet the minimum drive width. - Dimension the pavement width, excluding curb and gutter, for the parking lot entry off Private Drive A. It appears to scale at 23'-6". A minimum pavement width of 24' is required, excluding curb and gutter.

DRIVE-THROUGH LANE. Show the location for the drive-through order box. A minimum 4-car stacking is required from the drive-through pick-up window and a minimum 5-car stacking is required from the order box.

ADA PARKING SIGN. Revise the sign detail to show the parking sign mounted a minimum 5' above grade, measured to the bottom of the sign.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT SCREENING. Show the location of all ground-mounted and roof-top mechanical screening screening on the site plan and/or building elevations (using dashed lines) to the extent possible. Ground-mounted equipment shall be fully screened from view from off the property using masonry walls or evergreen landscaping of a height at least equal the equipment being screened. Roof-top units shall be fully screened from off the property using parapet walls of a height at least equal the equipment being screened. Please account for the additional curb height on which the RTUs will be mounted.

LIGHTING. Provide cut-sheets for all proposed exterior lighting fixtures for review and approval. All exterior light fixtures shall have full 90-degree cut-offs in order to direct light down and so the light source is not visible from off the property.

Please include a note stating that “The contractor shall contact the City’s Development Services Engineering Inspectors 48 hours prior to any land disturbance work at (816) 969-1200”.

Before resubmitting, feel free to remove the note(s) that are not applicable on sheet 2. Please revise the water notes to match the proposed scope of work shown on the utility sheet. Make sure to also revise sanitary note 10 to mention “City of Lee’s Summit”.

Please provide an Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (EOOPCC) sheet.

Please provide inlet protection to the curb inlet across private drive A.

On the utility sheet, please add a note regarding the 18” minimum vertical clearance requirement between utility lines. Make sure to also specify the pipe material to be used for both the water service line and the sanitary lateral.

When pipe is to be installed in embankment or fill, the embankment shall be constructed in accordance with APWA Section 2102.6 and shall be built up to a plane at least 18 inches above the top of the pipe prior to the excavation of the pipe trench. Please include the following note on any applicable sheet: “Compacted fill shall be placed to a minimum of 18” above the top of the pipe prior to installation”. Also, make sure to show/label the limits of the compacted fill placement in the profile view(s). Use hatching for clarity.

The ADA-accessible ramps at the commercial entrances are not detailed, but rather, only labeled on the site plan. The City of Lee’s Summit requires a site-specific detail for each ADA-accessible ramp and route across commercial entrances. Please be aware of the City-specific requirements, which are more stringent than PROWAG in terms of running slope (7.5%), and cross-slope (1.5%). Please update as appropriate, and include appropriate reference notes on the site plan indicating the location of the site-specific details within the plan set.

The trenching and backfill detail for storm line, sanitary sewer line, and water lines has changed recently. The City of Lee’s Summit now requires 12 inches of aggregate over the top of the pipe rather than 6 inches.

The hydraulic grade line for the design event should be shown on the profile view of the storm lines greater than 6 inches in diameter. At a minimum, the 10 year event must be lower than the crown of the pipe.

The standard detail for the private sanitary sewer lateral connection to the public sanitary sewer is missing. Please include the City’s building sewer stub and riser construction standard detail [SAN-1].

Please show/label flow line elevation(s) on to the storm sewer profile view. Make sure to assign a 0.2’ minimum elevation drop within the storm structures if the angle between the incoming and outgoing pipe is less than 22.5 degree. If the angle is equal or above 22.5 degree, please assign a 0.5’ minimum elevation drop.

Please clearly show/delineate area(s) of proposed sidewalk.
