Parking. The site plan says you are providing 27 parking spaces, but I only count 25. I see two additional pull-off spaces at the drive-through exit. Those two spaces can’t be counted toward the require 27 spaces. The two pull off spaces are really a continuation of drive-through queueing spaces as opposed to actual parking spaces. Please fix the number of parking spaces to match the required amount. Please label the two pull off spaces, so we are clear as to what they are.

Miscellaneous Correction

Fence. The site plan (Sheet C1.0) notes that the existing wood fence abutting the residences will be reconstructed, but gives no detail as to how it will be reconstructed (e.g. wood, vinyl or masonry). The landscape plan (Sheet L1.0) notes that the existing fence will count toward the opaque fence requirement. The existing wood fence is a lawful non-conforming site characteristic. The current high-impact landscape requires either a 6’ vinyl fence or masonry wall. If the proposed fence reconstruction means a complete removal and replacement, the lawful non-conforming status of the fence goes away and can only be reconstructed in accordance with current ordinance requirements. If the proposed fence work actually falls under the category of repair, then it can be carried out in accordance with the language under UDO Section 10.210.

Miscellaneous Correction

A written narrative giving justification for each of the requested UDO modifications is required to be submitted in support of the application.

Miscellaneous Correction

Setbacks. Please label and show required property setback lines on drawing.

Miscellaneous Correction

Bearings. All four sided bearings seem to be off just a little from the original plat. Please fix this or show both the original bearings and the new ones.

Miscellaneous Correction

CG-1 C&G label. Please label what CG-1 C&G mean.

Miscellaneous Correction

Mechanical equipment. Please show in a dotted outline where the mechanical equipment will be to ensure the parapet will be covering it.

Miscellaneous Correction

Landscaping. Proposed deciduous trees shall be minimum 3” caliper at the time of planting to meet ordinance requirements. Additionally, evergreen trees shall be a minimum 8’ in height at the time of planting. Please refer to Sec. 8.750-Acceptable plant materials.

Miscellaneous Correction

Building Architecture. The building’s architecture is unlike any non-industrial building in Lee’s Summit. Please quantify the percentage of metal panel used on each of the four building elevations. The highest percentage of metal panel typically approved in the past has been around 40%. The shadow rib metal panel that constitutes the majority of the building’s exterior is typical for our industrial building areas, but not for commercial areas. The type of metal panel approved in the past for commercial application has been aluminum composite metal (ACM) panels. This type of metal and depending on the amount, will have to be discussed at the Planning Commission and City Council meeting. The proposed elevation, currently does not meet the UDO Section 8.180. A.1 and 2 for the offset requirements, nor does it not meet the four-sided architecture requirements found under Section 8.180. B. Please make sure to somehow dress up the side that is facing the highway.

Miscellaneous Correction

Wall-mounted lighting. What type of exterior wall-mounted light fixture will the building have? Please see the lighting requirements under UDO Article 8 Subdivision 5-Lighting Standards

Miscellaneous Correction

Monument sign. Please provide a detail of the monument sign to ensure it meets the UDO standards under Article 9. It also appears the monument sign is in an existing U/E and so the sign will need to be relocated. Please show the locations of the 10” and 24” water mains that run across the property. It appears there may be a conflict between the 10” main and the monument location.

Miscellaneous Correction

Patio seating. The site plan calls out the patio being set back 95’ from the adjacent residential property versus the required 100’. Please double check your measurements. I am showing it to be a 100’. In the site plan you say “patio seating arch drawings”. I do not see any drawings for this.

Miscellaneous Correction

Deteriorating Pavement. Please show specs for the repair and seal for deteriorating pavement.

Miscellaneous Correction

Monument sign. Please show where the new monument sign will be going.

Miscellaneous Correction

Measurements. Please show all measurements to be from the front of the curb, instead of the back.

Miscellaneous Correction

Trash enclosure concrete. 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 Sec. 8.620 of the UDO. Currently, the pad measurements on the plans are less than 30' in length. Please update this to meet code.

DE C&O #01 Eng Plans – FDP/PDP

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 development plan. All public infrastructure must be substantially complete, prior to the issuance of any certificates of occupancy.

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 site development permits or the start of construction (excluding land disturbance permit).

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 a site development permit, building permit, or prior to the approval of the Final Development Plan / Engineering Plans.

DE C&O #11 Pavement Thickness

Private parking lots shall follow Article 8 of the Unified Development Ordinance for pavement thickness and base requirements.

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. Action required: The replaced parking lot/ fire access shall be capable of carrying the an imposed load of 75,000-pounds. Provide a detail on the buildind permit drawings.

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.

Please include a cover sheet for the civil plans. The cover sheet must appear on top of the set of plans and must contain the following items: o Project name (as headline) o Vicinity map o Developer’s contact information o Design engineer’s contact information o Table of contents o Utility Contact information

Several sections of existing curb, all over the site and along the ones that have been identified to remain, are either chipped or damaged. Replacement of those areas is necessary. Revise/add curb leader(s), as applicable and shown in the attached screenshot.

Areas within the commercial entrance, center of parking lot and upstream of concrete flumes (as shown in the attached screenshot) appear to be quite deteriorated. Reconstruction is therefore necessary. Please show/label on the plans.

Revise grading note 5 to mention “City of Lee’s Summit Design and Construction Manual”.

On the utility plan sheet, include pipe size for the proposed water service line and for the proposed sanitary sewer lateral.

On the utility plan sheet, make sure to label/show the existing 10” distribution water main, 24” transmission water main and the 8” sanitary sewer main.

Are there any sidewalks intended to be built on-site? Show on the site plan sheet, if applicable. Make sure to also provide a cross sectional view of the new concrete sidewalk pavement to be built.

Include a cross sectional view of the new asphalt pavement to be built.

ADA construction standard details may be removed since they are not required with a PDP.

Please keep in mind that a minimum horizontal separation of 5 -7 feet, between the edge of tree and the edge of water main, must be maintained in order to prevent tree roots from growing into the public utility pipe(s). Only ornamental trees are allowed within public easements.

This site was reviewed for potential future outter road modifications with minimal impact to the parking lot.
