The Design Criteria Modification Request should be combined into one (1) single pdf file with: 1) the template form, 2) the summary discussion (sealed), and 3) exhibits. Please combine these into one (1) single pdf file.

The 6 inch fire line appears to be connected to a private water line. Does this private water main connect to the public 12 inch main along Douglas St. with a backflow vault and backflow assembly? If not, a backflow vault and backflow assembly may be required near the 12 inch main near Douglas St. Please review and revise the drawings as necessary, as it appears there is no backflow vault near the 12 inch public main near Douglas St. If required by Water Utilities, this backflow vault and backflow assembly should be located outside of right of way and outside any public easements. Please see the Design and Construction Manual for more specific requirements for fire lines and backflow vaults, or contact me for further discussion.

A 2 inch domestic service line is shown connecting to what appears to be a private water main. It also shows an in-line backflow vault and backflow preventor, which should be shown within the building and not outside the building. Backflow vaults installed outside a building are generally limited to private fire lines rather than domestic water service lines. Please show the location of the water meter, including sizing information, near the public water main along Douglas St. (i.e., the 12 inch line near Douglas St.). No backflow vault is desired or required for a domestic service line, so please eliminate the backflow vault from the domestic line. Please revise as appropriate.

A two (2) inch domestic water service line is shown, but it is questionable whether this size line is appropriate for the building shown. Are you intending on installing a 2 inch meter? It would appear a 5/8 inch meter would be sufficient in this instance, and it would appear a 2 inch line would not be required. Please review and revise as appropriate.

Please show the location of the water meter and the size of the water meter. It should be located near the public 12 inch line near Douglas St., and within right of way or an easement and in an area readily-accessible to Water Utilities staff. If no easement is located in the area of the water meter, a separately-recorded water line easement may be dedicated.

It appears a water meter already exists near the private fire hydrant. Is there a reason why an additional water meter is being proposed? It may be possible to install a tee after the existing water meter, and utilize the existing water meter to service the new building. Please evaluate and revise as appropriate.

There were references to W(R) on the plan sheets (i.e., Water Line "Record"). What does this term refer to? We are seeing no such water line in our records. Please evaluate and revise as appropriate.

Due to the apparent confusion regarding water lines and fire lines, please contact me for further information. Alternatively, please consult the Design and Construction Manual "Water Mains" for further information regarding fire lines, domestic service lines, backflow vaults and backflow assemblies, etc.

Please revise the cost estimate as appropriate after making the revisions to the plans.

The waiver request is not a construction modification request, but rather, a design modification request. Please resubmit the correct form.

Please include the project number on the design modification form. It is project number PL2022374.

Please ensure the other waiver requests for Lee's Summit West High School and the main Lee's Summit High School include the correct form for the waiver. It is not a Construction Modification Request, but rather, a Design Criteria Modification Request. This form shall be sent separately.

The plan package included Lee's Summit West High School improvements. Please eliminate these from the application package, and only include those pertaining to Lee's Summit North High School.

Normally, a general overview sheet is included to show where the improvements are being proposed. I could not find such a general layout sheet. Please provide a general layout sheet of the campus.

No further review was conducted, pending receipt of a plan package that can be reviewed from the perspective of: 1) one project (i.e., Lee's Summit North High School), and 2) an overview sheet showing where the proposed building is located in relation to other buildings. At present, I cannot determine where the building addition is being proposed with certainty.
