Lee's Summit

It was noted in the landscape table the proposed evergreen heights on some species were less than 8' in height. The UDO requires a maximum height of 8' for all required plantings of an evergreen species. If the evergreens are required plantings, please revise the landscape table to reflect the correct height. A modification would be required for a reduced height.

In the landscape table for the length of medium impact area (the length of the lot), doesn't match the scaled length of the platted lot. The true length, once calculated would adjust these numbers slightly. Please revise the numbers and landscape sheet accordingly. A modification would be required if the numbers are not met.

The open space landscape requirements for the site aren't calculated correctly. The lot square footage minus the building footprint (only), is the number to use for the formula for calculating the required quantities of species. It seems the paved area was used as well. Depending on location and considered on a case by case basis: trees & shrubs for the open yard calculation may be allowed to be counted toward buffer screening; and street frontage shrubs may be counted toward parking lot screening if they serve that purpose.

Provide images of the lighting specifications within the table on the photometric sheet.

In regards to the east elevation. I understand the confusion on previously approved applications and the UDO standards. Staff will be recommending approval of 50% approved materials and a 50% metal ratio. Can we schedule a quick zoom meeting in the next couple of days to discuss this topic specifically? As most of the outstanding comments are somewhat insignificant, staff feels this project could be kept on the most up-to-date planning commission schedule. Revised plans reflecting the landscape comments could be re-submitted and additional discussion on the east elevation could happen that would give direction on the staff letter for the upcoming Planning Commission.

A preliminary development has specific criteria for review. Please provide in narrative form responses to each of the 3 PDP criteria. The criteria can be found in the UDO, Article 2.260.C.

This application does not require a special use permit due to the PMIX zoning district. However, certain conditions are in place for such facilities. A climate controlled storage facility has a set of conditions. These can be found in the UDO, Article 6.1185 (there are 4 conditions), please respond in writing how this development does or does not meet these conditions. Since this is a hybrid storage facility, the UDO has specific conditions for a self-storage type facility. These conditions can be found in the UDO, Article 6.1020 (there are four conditions), please respond in writing how this development does or does not meet these conditions. Although photographs of the surrounding area is not required, it might be helpful to have to include in the staff packet going forward to illustrate a feel for this development area.

A medium impact landscape buffer is required for the east property line/rear portion of the building. The landscaping requirements can be found in the UDO, Article 8.880.

On Sheet C1.0, remove the note indicating a Special Use Permit within the overall site data table. With the PMIX zoning a SUP isn't required.

A Form 7460 is required coordinated with the FAA.

Label and provide the breakdown of the metal panel system for the sides and rear elevations, where proposed. Staff will recommend approval of 50% of approved material (brick as shown), and the metal panels for each of these given elevations. Can a metal sample board be provided? Label the proposed colors for all exterior building materials.

Revise the accessible sign detail to include a van accessible signage/reference.

The building footprints on the landscape data table doesn't match the footprints on sheet C1.0 within the site data table.

Provide a photometric site sheet.

Please eliminate the steel casing pipe from the fire line.

Please add an additional valve near the main connection point, on the fire line branch. The City always requires a valve on each side of the street for fire lines.

A wye should already exist for this lot. Please check Record Drawings for location of sanitary sewer wyes and stubs. Contact our Records Technician at 816-969-1800 to request a "sanitary sewer stub location drawing" for this area. They will be able to provide this in pdf format via email.

The new ADA-accessible ramp should be constructed with dedicated ramps rather than 45 degree entry ramps. As such, the right of way shown on the PDP appears too small for this type of ramp. Either a sidewalk easement or additional right of way would appear necessary, and can be dedicated by separate document. Please provide sufficient notation on the Preliminary Development Plan.

Sidewalks and general location of the private ADA-accessible route across the driveway should be shown in accordance with Michael Park comments.
