DE Engineers Estimate

The Engineer’s Estimate of Probable Construction Costs has been accepted for this project, and the Engineering Plan Review and Inspection Fee (which is calculated as 3% of the total infrastructure cost plus a water test inspection fee, water tap and meter setup fee, and sanitary sewer impact fee for one (1) of the meters since the other is strictly for irrigation) have been included. These must be paid prior to the issuance of an infrastructure permit and/or the final processing of a building permit. $106,852.32

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 schedule a project coordination meeting 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.

No grade information was provided for the new segments of sidewalk or ramps at the corner of Blue and 2nd St.

The asphaltic concrete typical section shown on Sheet C520 is missing either geogrid or chemically-stablized subgrade. In addition, show a minimum of 2 inch surface course KCMMB asphatlic concrete, and a minimum 4.5 inch asphalic base course. The reason for this difference is the KCMMB specification does not allow for any course less than 2 inches due to the aggregate used in the mix.

Cost estimate required prior to formal approval.

PLATTING. The proposed new building and fuel canopy extend across the existing lot line separating Lots 1 and 2 of the Replat of QuikTrip Blue Parkway. No building permit for the proposed improvements may be issued until such time as a minor plat merging the two existing lots into a single lot is approved and then recorded with the County. The previously made comment above has been acknowledged by the applicant. Said comment is being kept for documentation purposes.

EASEMENTS. The proposed fueling station canopy encroaches into an existing 10' easement that is to be vacated under separate application. The final development plan cannot be approved or a building permit issued until such time as the impacted easement is vacated. The easement vacation application has been made and is currently going through the approval process. The previously made comment above has been acknowledged by the applicant. Said comment is being kept for documentation purposes.

Miscellaneous Correction

Payment in lue of will be required for the sidewalk along 3rd Street. This can be paid when replatted if planned or with the approval of these plans.

The crosswalks along 2nd and Blue need to be reviesed per staff discussion in the Zoom meeting.

The final development plan cannot be approved or a building permit issued until such time as the impacted easement is vacated. No application to vacate said easement has been submitted to date.

The geotechnical report dated Dec. 14, 2024 states on page 13 "...our analysis did not include evaluating minimum pavement sections." It is for this reason the pavement sections listed in the geotechnical report cannot be considered equivalent to the standard design shown in the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). It is recommended the applicant use the standard pavement section listed in the UDO. If a geotechnical analysis is used in lieu of this standard pavement design, specific parameters shall be used in the preparation of the report. These parameters are shown in the pdf document uploaded to "Documents and Images" on Mar. 27, 2025, and should be used in the preparation of a pavement design that meets or exceeds that which is shown in the standard UDO design.

Itemized cost estimate (signed and sealed by a design professional registered in the State of Missouri) shall be required for all sitework. In lieu of a signed and sealed cost estimate, an executed contract with line items shall be acceptable.

Miscellaneous Correction

Payment in lue of will be required for the sidewalk along 3rd Street. This can be paid when replatted if planned or with the approval of these plans.

See previous applicant letter. I am still not seeing any detailed plan for the median removal and replacement, including the ADA-accessible ramps and routes through the median, pavement marking, etc. Correction required.

Sheet C520: 1. F11 references a geotechnical report which still has not been submitted. Without the report, I cannot review pavement section. Submit the geotechnical report for review. 2. KCMMB asphaltic concrete and PCC concrete is required, and was not called-out on this sheet. This shall be required regardless of whether the geotechnical report recommends KCMMB mix or not.

Sheet C151: See previous applicant letter. Sanitary lateral lines shall be connected to City sanitary sewer with a wye, not a tee. Correction required.

Multiple Sheets: Refer to previous applicant letter. Wings are shown on the edges of ADA-accessible ramps despite our request to delete them and grade to the edge. Correction required.

Multiple Sheets: C550 is referenced as a detail for the median island described above. There are no details for the median island on Sheet C550. Correction required.

Informational Comment: A cost estimate is required prior to final approval.

Details for the ADA-accessible ramps at commercial entrances, intersection of 2nd and Blue Pkwy, and the mid-block crossing were missing. Elevations are required, along with slope callouts for the running slope and cross-slope. It shall not be based on a " maximum slope" criteria, but rather, a specific site design. Correction required.

The receiver ramp on the east side of Blue Pkwy. is constructed as a Type B ramp which is no longer allowed under PROWAG. Use a Type A curb ramp in lieu of the Type B ramp, provide a turning space beyond the ramp to facilitate turnaround. Correction required.

Sheet C112: See comments related to ADA-accessible ramps. Site-specific design is required for all ADA-accessible ramps, with site-specific running slope and site-specific cross-slope for each scenario, including: 1) commercial entrances, 2) intersections, 3) mid-block crossing, and 4) all other ADA-accessible ramps on the project. Correction required.

The ADA-accessible route across intersections and commercial entrances shall be designed and detailed with: 1) five (5) foot minimum width of the ADA-accessible route, 2) cross-slope callouts not to exceed 1.50%, 3) running slope not to exceed street slope, 4) dimensional callouts on all. Correction required.

Eliminate the "wings" on the ADA-accessible ramps. Simply grade to the edge without the wings. Correction required.

In terms of callouts for the slope across the mid-block ADA-accessible route from the north side of 2nd St. to the south side of 2nd St., it will be acceptable to callout "match existing road grade" or equivalent language. We do not want to introduce a PI at this point. Correction required.

The ADA-accessible route across the stop-controlled yield intersection (i.e., at the corner of 2nd St. and Blue Pkwy.) must be designed to be less than 1.50% cross-slope. Correction required.

For informational purposes, the City of Lee's Summit has more stringent design standards for ADA-accessible slopes and cross-slopes. We use 7.50% for the design running slope, and 1.50% for the design cross-slope. That way, if the ramp or sidewalk is installed at a slightly higher running slope of 8.10% for instance, it will still be accepted. This is for tolerance purposes only. Use the more stringent 7.5% and 1.50% for design purposes of all ADA-accessible ramps, routes, etc.

Utility Plan: A 6 inch sanitary service is shown serving the new lot to the south. This shall be a public sanitary sewer extension, and shall require separate engineering plans. In addition, an 8 inch line is the minimum size for public sanitary sewer extensions. Correction required.

Be aware that doghouse manholes are not allowed when placing the new manhole for the public extension to the south lot. Provide notes on the plans so this is obvious to the contractor. Correction required.

Parking lot ADA-space detailing was missing slope callouts. Generic slope callouts (i.e., "2% max slope") are not sufficient. Correction required.

Ensure you have designed a compliant turning space at the southwest corner of 2nd St. and Blue Pkwy. This may require the movement of the power poles and guy wires. Correction required.

Ensure there is 6 feet of width for the ADA-accessible ramp at the southwest corner of 2nd St. and Blue Pkwy. due to the sidewalk being at the back of curb. Correction required.

Pavement typical sections refer to a geotechnical report which was not submitted with the package. If the pavement sections meet our Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in terms of the standard design, a geotechnical report is not required. However, your design for the asphaltic concrete does not meet our UDO and the geotechnical report shall required for review. It should be noted the PCC section does meet our standards. Correction required.

HGL and design storm shall be shown on the storm line profile views. If storm lines cannot manage the 100 year event without surcharging, a suitable overflow route shall be shown on the plans, with sufficient freeboard (i.e., 2.00 feet) to any building opening. Correction required.

Specify KCMMB concrete mix 8 inches for all commercial approaches from the sawcut to the property line. Correction required.

A SWPPP shall be required if the disturbed area is 1 acre or greater. Informational comment.

Are you going to remove the sanitary sewer, or abandon in place? Whichever method is used, it shall be clearly-shown on the separate public sanitary sewer plans discussed earlier in this letter. If abandoned in place, it shall follow the requirements shown in the Design and Construction Manual for filling with sand, and grouting the ends. Corrections required.

It was my understanding the rear water line (i.e., 4 inch) along the northwest property line was going to be abandoned to the extent it could be abandoned. This would appear to be to a point where the property owner to the west can still maintain their meter service. Correction required.

It would be preferred the 4 inch line described above be removed rather than abandoned in place. Correction required.

Domestic and irrigation meters: Do not connect to the 4 inch water main as you are showing on the utility plan. Use either the line on the north side of 2nd St., or the east side of Blue Pkwy. Correction required.

Be aware the water meters shall be connected separately to the water main on Blue Pkwy. or 2nd St. They shall not be allowed to join together as you are showing on the utility plan sheet. Correction required.

Notes call for a 2.5 tap to be made on the water line. All connections greater than 2 inches diameter shall be a cut-in tee rather than a tap. Correction required.

Show the materials and sizing for the domestic and irrigation service lines, keeping in mind copper is required from the main to the meter, and a minimum of 10 feet beyond the meter, with the balance being material acceptable to Building Code. Correction required.

Although separate plans for the public sanitary sewer improvements shall be required, I will provide some comments to assist. You are showing a tee connection from the building to the main. Only wye connections are allowed in the City of Lee's Summit. Correction required.

Southern termination of the public sanitary sewer line shall be a manhole, not a cleanout. Correction required.

Sanitary sewer appears to be deficient in terms of drop across manholes in some locations. City requires a minimum of 0.2 feet for straight through manholes, and 0.50 feet for anything greater than 40 degrees. Correction required on the separate sanitary sewer plan.

Sanitary sewers placed in paved areas have a standard detail that is relevant to at least 1 manhole on this project. Insert the standard detail, and note on the plans. In general, the City requires a concrete collar to be constructed around the manhole frame and lid to achieve perfect level without bumps in the finish product, and resembles a diamond as viewed from the driving direction. Correction required.

Water line abandonment/removal (i.e., the 4 inch line along the west boundary) shall be shown on a separate public plan set. This public plan set may be combined with the sanitary sewer plan set since neither will require an MDNR permit. Correction required.

Sheet C151: What is lateral A? Is this a drafting remnant? Correction required.

All asphaltic concrete used on the project shall be KCMMB mix. Please notate on the plans that KCMMB asphatic concrete shall be used. Correction required.

Sheet C521: Cleanup required on the strikeover on F6. Correction required.

Sheet C524: The concrete collar detail does not match the City standard detail. Use the City standard detail and ensure there are sufficient notes on the plan view referencing the standard detail. Correction required.

Show the subgrade extended a minimum of 1 foot beyond the back of curb. This can be in the form of a marked-up curb detail showing the extension. Correction required.

Island with ADA-accessible route and ramps is called out on sheet C130 and references Sheet C550. Sheet C550 does not include any details concerning the construction of this median and ADA-accessible ramp system. Complete plans with plan view, section views, details, and all other information necessary to construct the new median are required. Correction required.

New easement shall be dedicated on the new plat for the sanitary sewer. It shall be a dedicated sanitary sewer easement (i.e., exclusive to sanitary sewer), with standard template dedication language as provided by the City. Please see plat comments for more information. Informational comment.

Old easement for the sanitary sewer should be vacated in a partial manner. A separate process and separate application for the vacation shall be required. Informational comment.

Again, please submit separate public improvement plans for the sanitary sewer and the water main abandonment. Since neither shall require an MDNR permit, it will be best to combine the two. Correction required.

A cost estimate shall be required prior to formal approval for the sitework. Informational comment.

Sheet C150: Add notation to the manhole in pavement which references the City standard detail for the concrete collar. It should also be reflected on the plan view (i.e., with the general shape and orientation of the diamond) for easy reference. Correction required.

Include the new fire hydrant on the public improvement plan set. The new domestic water and irrigation connection can be made at a point immediately before the gate valve. Correction required.

For the public plan set, include an additional valve on the east side of Blue Pkwy. Correction required.

Ensure the separate public plan set shows the new water main beneath Blue Pkwy. to be bored. No casing carrier pipe is desired or required. Correction required.

Public fire hydrant may need to be moved slightly to allow for the installation of taps and/or cut-in tee for the two (2) water meters. Evaluate and correct as appropriate.

Water meters shall be installed within right of way or easement. Correction required.

It appears you are connecting the new fire hydrant to the 4 inch line on the east side of Blue Pkwy. You will need to locate the 6 inch line where it changes size, and connect at that point. In other words, connect the new fire hydrant to the 6 inch line rather than the 4 inch line. Correction required.

Payment in lue of will be required for the sidewalk along 3rd Street. This can be paid when replatted if planned or with the approval of these plans.

PLATTING. The proposed new building and fuel canopy extend across the existing lot line separating Lots 1 and 2 of the Replat of QuikTrip Blue Parkway. No building permit for the proposed improvements may be issued until such time as a minor plat merging the two existing lots into a single lot is approved and then recorded with the County.

PLAN TITLE. Revise the plan title on Sheet C001 from Preliminary Development Plans to Final Development Plans.

LOT INFORMATION. Label the lot line dimensions and bearings.

EASEMENTS. 1) Show and label the existing 16' Water Easement along the east property boundary on the proposed site plan (Sheet C100). Said easement is shown on the Demolition Plan (C030) with a note indicating that it is to be vacated by separate document. No application to vacate said easement has been submitted. A proposed trash enclosure is shown to encroach into the easement, which is prohibited and so requires vacation of at least the portion of the impacted easement before commencement of construction. 2) Show and label the existing 15' Utility Easement along the south property boundary on the proposed site plan (Sheet C100). Said easement is shown on the Demolition Plan (C030) with a note indicating that it is to be vacated by separate document. No application to vacate said easement has been submitted. 3) Show and label the existing 10' Utility Easement that runs east-west through the property on the proposed site plan (Sheet C100). Said easement is shown on the Demolition Plan (C030) with a note indicating that it is to be vacated by separate document. No application to vacate said easement has been submitted. The proposed fueling station canopy is shown to encroach into the easement, which is prohibited and so requires vacation of the impacted easement before commencement of construction.

SIGNAGE. The final development plan review and approval process does not include the signage component. Signs are reviewed and approved as part of the permit approval process under separate cover that is submitted and initiated under the City's online application portal.
