Lee's Summit

I approve of leaving the existing access based on the attached letter provided by Engineering Solutions, dated March 26, 2026.

Remove the Detention Basin label throughout the plans, stormwater report, and waiver request; replace with Infiltration Basin. Add the specific design geometry for the infiltration basin to the plans. Please be advised that as-builts will be required for this BMP. Remove the pipe shown in the Infiltration Basin Detail. Remove the proposed weir from the Pre Development Drainage Plan.

Add ADA compliance information for the proposed new sidewalk from the existing public sidewalk facilities to the building. Include dimensions and cross-slope for all turning spaces. Please make sure that all turning space cross-slope labels do not exceed 1.5%, including the turning spaces from the ADA parking area. Provide the cross-slope for the proposed driveway and the existing sidewalk panel where the proposed new sidewalk connects to the existing public sidewalk facilities as a turning space.

Section 15.1.f of the City's Access Management Code specifies that "access for a single residential property are not permitted on collectors and arterials and access to collectors and arterials for residential properties shall conform to other provisions of this code which preclude such access if an alternative exists from a local street, access street or shared access condition." By this rule the access along Douglas is not permitted once the access along Maple is constructed. A variance may be requested in writing and may be supported by staff.

Stormwater design waiver options will be discussed with the City Engineer and further comments will be offered when available.

Miscellaneous Correction

Provide manufacturer specifications for the proposed decking and railing along with elevations for the deck area.

Locate and show the existing sanitary sewer (along west property line) and the associated utility easement on the plans. Identify the right-of-way limits along Maple St. on the plans.

Revise pavement sections to show the correct asphalt material. Plan notes and sections do not agree, please reconcile. Show in the plan view, the required concrete material for the driveway approach from the City street.

Add site specific ADA sidewalk and curb ramp information to the plans, including slopes and cross slopes. Provide information that includes access to the building from the ADA parking and through the proposed driveway.

Stormwater report has conflicting information regarding if the design meets APWA 5600. Provide the percentage of voids used in the storage volume calculations. Show how this detention pit will drain within 24 hours. Add shear stress calculations to the plans.

Has consideration been given to connection to the storm inlet (1757) at the corner of Douglas St. and Maple St.? With a waiver for detention, this potentially could eliminate the detention pit and the possible negative impacts to this development and the neighboring properties. Please be aware that final plans for the CIP stormwater project are now available, and the construction is planned to start Summer 2026.

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.

Miscellaneous Correction

Provide manufacturer specifications for the proposed decking and railing along with elevations for the deck area.

Please incorporate into the plans the permanent sidewalk/utility easements and temporary construction easements recently obtained for the City’s CIP roadway project. This has been provided to the designer by separate document.

The landscape plan must be amended to better coordinate with the CIP roadway project. No new trees or shrubs should not be planted in the areas needed for permanent or temporary easements. The submitted landscape plan shows larger caliper trees proposed withing the new permanent 10’ utility easement which will not be allowed. Please verify and note on the plans that only ornamental trees and shrubs may be planted within any easement.

Show in the pavement sections and add the following notes to the plans regarding paving per Section 2200 of the City Design and Construction Manual. Note that the minimum surface course thickness for KCMMB asphalt is 2 inches and the Unified Development Ordinance Section 8.620 – Parking Lot Design will still govern for overall thickness requirements. - All asphalt materials shall conform to the KCMMB ASPHALT MATERIAL SPECIFICATION, current edition. - All concrete materials for paving curb and gutter, sidewalks, paths, commercial driveways and other pavements in the right of way shall conform to the KCMMB specifications.

Add City Standard Details for curb/gutter and sidewalks/ramps.

Add site specific ADA design information for the sidewalk/ramps, including access to the building and through the proposed driveway.

Submit an Engineer's Estimate of Probable Construction Costs and the SWPPP.

Detention plan, profile and detail conflict, please reconcile. Show trees removed from detention basin. Show that the end section treatment can withstand the shear stress of the discharge velocities. Add a detail for the flume from the parking lot to the detention basin.

The Storm Water Memorandum provides conflicting information on whether the design meets or does not meet the City and APWA 5600 requirements, please revise.

Sheet C.001: Update zoning to TNZ and remove proposed zoning.

Sheet C.101: Provide further information on the flattened curb for the ADA route (full dimension of the flattened curb, will all other curbs be standard curbs, etc.).

Sheet L.100: Show which existing trees will be removed.

Sheet L.100: Given discussions at Planning Commission concerning landscaping and screening of the parking lot, replace some of the shrubs adjacent to the parking on the west with evergreens.

Sheet L.100: Switch out the trees along the perimeter for ornamental trees.

Is any additional lighting proposed? If so, provide a photometric plan.

Sheet C.101: Show and label sight triangles.

Sheet C.101: Provide setbacks to the deck.

Provide manufacturer specifications for the proposed decking and railing along with elevations for the deck area.

The sidewalk wrapping all around the building was not shown in the PDP, is that just desired by the property owner for full circulation?

A minor plat will be required. When will this be submitted?

Sheet L.100: Replace all invasive species with a non-invasice species (the burning bush shrub).
