Lee's Summit

Sidewalk is required along Thompson Drive.

BUILDING ELEVATIONS. In earlier meetings with the applicant, it was stated that additional photos of a similar/identical existing building would be provided to help convey the appearance of the buildings. To date, the only photo is a partial image of an existing building included on the building elevations. Staff suggests that photos be submitted of all building sides to provide a real world example of the proposed architecture. While the color axonometric elevations provided are helpful, photos of an existing building better convey the building aesthetic.

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 #09 FDP Reviews

Certain aspects of the development plan will be further reviewed during the Final Development Plan phase of the project. This includes detailed aspects of the design to help ensure that the plan meets the design criteria and specifications contained in the Design and Construction Manual.

Miscellaneous Correction

The existing water main on the west side of SE Decker Street must be extended south to connect to the existing 16" water main on the south side of SE Thompson Drive. Issuance of a Certificate of Substantial completion for this extension is required prior to issuance of any type of Certificate of Occupancy for this project.

Knox Locks

IFC 506.1 - Where access to or within a structure or an area is restricted because of secured openings or where immediate access is necessary for life-saving or fire-fighting purposes, the fire code official is authorized to require a key box to be installed in an approved location. The key box shall be of an approved type listed in accordance with UL 1037, and shall contain keys to gain necessary access as required by the fire code official. 506.1.1 Locks. An approved lock shall be installed on gates or similar barriers when required by the fire code official. Provide Knox key switch on the gates and a Knox Box.

FDC

IFC 903.3.7 - Fire department connections. The location of fire department connections shall be approved by the fire code official. Connections shall be a 4 inch Storz type fitting and located within 100 feet of a fire hydrant, or as approved by the code official. Show the location of the FDC.

Revise the southeast fence to be completely out of the stream buffer.

Include pavement sections.

Since the existing water main is across the street, please show one tap and extend the fire line under the road. Then the domestic water line can tap that fire line prior to the backflow vault.

Label all existing utility line sizes.

Please extend the water line denoted by Site Plan Key Note 3 south to connect to the existing water main on the south side of SE Thompson Drive. The existing water main on the north side is not Lee’s Summit water line.

How will the detention basin discharge get to the existing drainage way? Well there be an end section and rip rap? Please clarify.

Will there be sanitary sewer service in the south building? No sanitary line is shown. Please clarify.

BUILDING ELEVATIONS. - To satisfy the requirements for four-sided architecture, extend the use of contrasting materials, colors and textures onto all sides of the proposed buildings. According to the applicant response letter on the related special use permit application, no contrasting materials, colors and textures have been extended onto the north elevation of Building B due to the presence of existing trees and other vegetation along the north side of the property. The UDO requirement for four-sided architecture calls for these features to be extended across all elevations so that there is no appearance of a "back" to a building. Staff's recommendation will be for compliance with the UDO requirement for four-sided architecture. - To satisfy the requirement for horizontal and vertical breaks, provide projections and offsets in order to provide visual interest and architectural relief to break up the long expanses of flat walls. The renderings do not appear to convey that there is much, if any, projection or off-set at the transition between the proposed metal and proposed wood composite on any of the out-facing building elevations. The materials appear to be flush at these transitions, thereby resulting in flat walls. Projections/off-sets are required so as to break up the long, flat wall planes. In a follow-up meeting between staff and the applicant on the special use permit application, the applicant indicated that photos of a similar/identical existing development would be provided to convey how the proposed design complies with the requirement for horizontal and vertical relief that may not be evident through the drawings provided. No photos or the like have been provided on the resubmittal.

SIDEWALKS. For your information, the pursuit of any modifications seeking relief from any development standard via a preliminary development plan application (such as the architectural requirements previously mentioned) opens the opportunity for staff to recommend to the City Council that certain site improvements be required as conditions of approval for said preliminary development plan. In this case, staff will recommend that a condition of approval be that sidewalks be required to be constructed along the Thompson Dr street frontage in order to reflect current development standards that require sidewalks along all non-residential streets. Staff understands that the applicant will request relief from staff's recommendation for sidewalk as part of the separate preliminary development plan application.

LIGHTING. - Provide a photometric plan in accordance with UDO Section 8.230. All exterior light fixtures shall comply with the lighting standards under UDO Sections 8.220 and 8.270. - Provide manufacturer specifications for all proposed exterior light fixtures for review.

TRASH ENCLOSURE PAD. 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.

DRIVE AISLE WIDTH. Dimension the width of the drive aisle between the parking spaces facing the two buildings.

APPLICATION FEE. The $2,175 preliminary development plan application fee has yet to be paid. The application will not continue the review/approval process until such time as the fee is paid.

Until it is determined if the Waiver on Materials is going forward, Staff still requires sidewalk along Thompson Drive. Should the applicant decide to drop the request for alternate materials, the requirement for sidewalk will be dropped.
