Please refer to comment 4 in the previous applicant letter. The detention basin dedication language in the upper right hand corner of the plat has a series of items within brackets (i.e., covenants, conditions, restrictions, or operation manual) that is not clear. Will there be an HOA established? It was our understanding that no HOA is being established, and hence, no covenants, restrictions or conditions can exist. Please clarify by using the appropriate template.

TRACT A DEDICATION PARAGRAPH. The paragraph that dedicates the "Detention Area" tract (Tract A) includes language in brackets (lines 2 and 3 of the paragraph) that is unfinished/placeholder language. Revise.

"S/E" is shown on the legend, but "Sanitary Sewer Easement" is called-out on the plat. Please reconcile.

Sanitary sewer easement definition under "dedications" does not follow the City of Lee's Summit template. Please use the following template: "A permanent and exclusive easement is hereby granted to the City of Lee’s Summit to patrol, alter, conduct surveys, construct, erect, inspect, install, maintain, operate, rebuild, reconstruct, relocate, remove, renew, repair and replace sewer pipe lines, manholes, and appurtenances thereto, including the right and privilege at any time and from time to time to enter upon, over, under, through, across, in, and upon those areas outlined or designated upon this plat at “Sanitary Sewer Easement” or within any street or thoroughfare dedicated to the public use on this plat. Grantor, its successors and assigns, shall not obstruct or interfere with Grantee’s use and enjoyment of the easement granted hereunder by any means, including, without limitation, obstructing or interfering with the operation, maintenance, or access to such pipe lines, manholes, and appurtenances thereto, by erecting, or causing or allowing to be erected, any building, structure, or other improvements on said easement. Grantor, its successors and assigns, to the fullest extent allowed by law, including, without limitation, section 527.188, RSMo., hereby waives any right to request vacation of the easements herein granted. All easements shall, at all times, be deemed to be and shall be a continuing covenant running with the land and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Grantor."

Sanitary sewer easement was missing to the south of Cape Dr. Please dedicate a sanitary sewer easement (i.e., not a general utility easement) for the line to the south plat boundary.

Detention basin maintenance language includes reference to HOA, POA, or owner. Please be specific as to the responsible party, since the template is meant to be altered to be site-specific. In this case, it shall be the owner since there will not be a separate HOA or POA to provide future maintenance or inspection. Please correct.

Private easement language is included within the dedication language. Where are these private easements? If no private easements, this language should be removed.

Sidewalk is not shown along Cape Dr. It is only shown to the limits of the construction of Cape Dr., with no indication of future construction of sidewalk along both sides of Cape Dr. Please correct. Please see Planning comments for more information.

Stream buffer language shall be revised as follows: "In the areas designated as “Stream Buffer Easement” there is hereby granted to the City an easement for the purpose of prohibiting any development of any kind and prohibiting the erection, construction, placement or maintenance of any structures upon such land, as the term “structure” shall be defined in the City’s Unified Development Ordinance in Chapter 33 of the City Code of Ordinances, and prohibiting any change in the grade and elevation of such land, and prohibiting the alteration of the natural course and flow of the water in the stream, and prohibiting the damming or stoppage of the water in the stream, and to require the owners of such land to keep and maintain such land in its natural vegetative state and to tend, maintain and mow such land as required by the City’s Property Maintenance Code in Chapter 16 of the City Code of Ordinances, which easement shall constitute a servitude upon the land so encumbered and which shall run with the land in perpetuity and be binding upon the land owners, their successors and assigns and all other parties claiming under them, and shall remain in full force and effect forever. A waiver or modification to this Stream Buffer Easement, or a release of this Stream Buffer Easement, may be granted by the City Engineer on behalf of the City as to any or all areas so designated on this Plat, which waiver, modification or release shall be recorded in the land records for Jackson County.”

Legal Description

Please submit an electronic copy of the legal description. Microsoft Word document or selectable text PDF are the preferred file formats. The legal description can be emailed to the planner's email address above.

DATES. Update the years referenced in the owner's signature paragraph, notary paragraph and City Council approval paragraph from 2021 to 2022.

SIDEWALKS. 5' sidewalks shall be added to both sides of the entire length of SE Cape Dr.

LOT NUMBERS. Since the parcel on which the detention basin is located serves no other purpose than to house private infrastructure, rename Lot 2 as Tract A. Update the plat title and any other reference to Lot 2 throughout the document to reflect the change in lot name.

Can you clearly identify where the 1 ft line is? It seems to be covered up by the plat boundary and the circles. I assume it is between the plat boundary and the tract to be dedicated for Bailey Rd ROW.

Sidewalk (10') required along the south side of Bailey Road in accordance with sidewalk requirements and Comprehensive Plan (Greenway Master Plan Element). This has already been included in the Engineering Plans.

Sidewalk (5') required along other streets impacted/extended in accordance with UDO. these sidewalks have also already been shown on the submitted Engineering Plans.

Legal Description

Please submit an electronic copy of the legal description. Microsoft Word document or selectable text PDF are the preferred file formats. The legal description can be emailed to the planner's email address above.

SIDEWALKS. A 5' sidewalk is required to be constructed along the south side of SE Bailey Rd. Show and label said sidewalk.

Comment 5 on previous applicant letter was not addressed: It does not appear the stream buffer matches what is shown on the Final Development Plan. Two separate lines are shown for the stream buffer. It is our understanding the stream buffer extends to the property boundary to the east. Please check and ensure the correct stream buffer is shown on the plat. It appears one of the dashed lines represents the ordinary high water mark(?), so this should be reconciled.

Comment 4 previous applicant letter was not addressed: Water line easement may need to be established, but no plans have been submitted for water line extension. If water main can be installed in embankment at minimum depth of cover, but above the box culvert, a separate water line easement might not be necessary. If however the water line extension cannot be installed on top of the box culvert without clearance issues or depth of cover issues, a separate water line easement shall be established around the box culvert, and crossing the creek to the east.

Comment 10 within previous applicant letter was not addressed: Prior to approval of the plat, Cape Dr. improvements plans shall be submitted and approvable. This would not only include Cape Dr. plans, but also water line extension to the plat boundary, storm improvements, and box culvert improvements.

Please refer to comment 7. The City has standard detention basin language that should be used to identify maintenance aspects of the basins. Although the private easement would be a good idea, identification of the parties responsible for the operation and maintenance is required. If you do not have the most up to date language, we will send it separately.

What is that 1 foot length designation near the POB? Is there an associated bearing?
