DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs shall be resubmitted to include erosion and sediment control devices and measures, final restoration, and sodding, seeding, fertilizer, topsoil and mulch. Fees to be determined based on the estimate.

The waiver to the stormwater detention requirements is currently under review by the City Engineer. Final approval is contingent upon this waiver being approved by the City Engineer.

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 / discussion 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.

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 International Existing Building Code is NOT adopted by the City of Lee's Summit

Miscellaneous Correction

903.2.3 Group E. An automatic sprinkler system shall be provided for Group E occupancies as follows: 1. Throughout all Group E fire areas greater than 12,000 square feet (1115 m2) in area. 2. The Group E fire area is located on a floor other than a level of exit discharge serving such occupancies. Exception: In buildings where every classroom has not fewer than one exterior exit door at ground level, an automatic sprinkler system is not required in any area below the lowest level of exit discharge serving that area. 3. The Group E fire area has an occupant load of 300 or more. The addition takes the building over the 12,000 square foot threshold for a sprinkler system, unless other approved building provisions are implemented.

Fire Lanes

IFC 503.2.1 - Fire apparatus access roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet (6096 mm), exclusive of shoulders, except for approved security gates in accordance with Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches (4115 mm). The existing (non-conforming) fire lane between the buildings shall be maintained.

Miscellaneous Correction

Sanitary connection at manhole not allowed. 11/14/22 - Deferred to Engineering approval

An erosion and sediment control plan appeared to be missing. Please submit an erosion and sediment control plan for this project. Since the disturbed area is less than 1 acre, a SWPPP shall not be required.

The waiver for stormwater is being reviewed. It is our recommendation the waiver should be approved. However, please include the project number PL2022372 on the form, and please limit the exhibits to one (1) (i.e., grading plan?). Recommend highlighting the new building additions in yellow on the single exhibit. We would also suggest a quick analysis of the increase in stormwater peak discharge for the newly-created impervious area by use of a table showing the pre versus post-development peak flows due to the building addtions. A quick calculation shows about 0.3 cfs increase in stormwater peak flows for the 100 year event, and it would be beneficial to show this in the form of a table. Please review and revise as appropriate.

It appears the public sanitary sewer is being relocated. Separate public sanitary sewer plans shall be required. Doghouse manholes are not allowed in the City of Lee's Summit. Please submit a separate sanitary sewer relocation plan, and eliminate all doghouse manholes. Ensure a minimum of 15 feet clearance from the building and the outside of the sanitary sewer line is maintained by the realignment.
