Lee's Summit

Submit a SWPPP specific to this project with appropriate signature blocks completed.

The trench drain between the two pools will likely accept chlorinated or otherwise treated pool water and this may not drain to any part of the public storm sewer system.

Add a typical section that depicts the composition of the proposed retaining wall.

Add a note that states that the domestic water connection is made by a corporation stop.

EASEMENTS. The plan set shows some sort of retaining/landscape wall sign at the southeast corner of the site. Said sign structure encroaches into an existing sanitary sewer easement and is shown to be built over a sanitary sewer line. The City's encroachment policy prohibits the encroachment of a retaining/landscaping wall into an easement, nor within 15' from the nearest outside edge of a sanitary sewer line. The response to the previously made comment above is that the developer acknowledges the encroachment and takes responsibility for any damage. However, the City's policy is that no structures such as landscaping or retaining walls are allowed to encroach into a public easement, thus the proposed wall must be relocated out of the easement. Should you want further discussion regarding the Public Works Department's Encroachment Policy, please reach out to your assigned Project Manager to coordinate said discussion.

LIGHTING. 1) As previously commented, provide manufacturer specifications for all proposed exterior light fixtures for review and approval. 2) No information is provided on the photometric plan regarding the proposed pole light fixture height(s). Light pole fixtures within 100' of residential uses is limited to 15' above grade; light pole fixtures greater than 100' from residential uses is limited to 20' above grade.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. It does not appear from the FDP that any exterior mechanical equipment is being employed with the proposed improvements. Should any exterior equipment be needed, said mechanical equipment shall be fully screened from view in accordance with UDO Sections 8.110.B and 8.110.C and confirmed at the time of occupancy inspection.

FORM 7460. An FAA Form 7460 shall be completed and submitted to the FAA, and comments received back prior to the issuance of any building permits.

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.

Hydrants

IFC 507.5.1 - Where a portion of the facility or building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the jurisdiction is more than 300 feet from a hydrant on a fire apparatus access road, as measured by an approved route around the exterior of the facility or building, on-site fire hydrants and mains shall be provided where required by the fire code official. Show the location of the hydrant.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION. 1) The legal description on Sheet C001 is incorrect. The current plat of record for the site is "Discovery Park, Lot 9-1 and Tract A-1". The subject project site is Tract A-1 of said plat. 2) Some of the proposed improvements extend outside of Tract A-1 and onto the following abutting lots: Lot 10, Village at Discovery Park; and Lot 1, Alura 1st Plat. The proposed improvements cannot cross established lot lines, thus a replat of the affected properties is required so that the common property improvements are contained within the boundaries of a single common area tract. 3) Revise the legal description as needed to reflect the extent of the project site boundaries.

SITE DATA TABLE. Add a site data table that includes the following information: Site/Lot Area (in both sq. ft. and acres); Building Floor Area (in sq. ft.); Impervious Coverage (in sq. ft., acres, and expressed as a percentage of the site area; Pervious/Open Area (in sq. ft., acres and expressed as a percentage of the site area)

STREETS/PRIVATE DRIVE. Dimension the width of the private drive and the tract that contains the private drive that provides access to the site along the east boundary.

EASEMENTS. The plan set shows some sort of retaining/landscape wall sign at the southeast corner of the site. Said sign structure encroaches into an existing sanitary sewer easement and is shown to be built over a sanitary sewer line. The City's encroachment policy prohibits the encroachment of a retaining/landscaping wall into an easement, nor within 15' from the nearest outside edge of a sanitary sewer line.

SIDEWALKS. Construction of the sidewalk along the private street/drive along the site's eastern frontage shall be constructed as part of the subject development, if not already existing.

RECREATIONAL FACILITY REQUIREMENTS. The proposed pickleball courts are subject to the use conditions under UDO Section 6.1350.N, inclusive of the following: 1) Courts and fields for one- or two-person teams shall be set back at least 50 feet from the property line for the abutting apartment development to the north; 2) A fence more than six feet in height shall be set back from the abutting apartment development boundaries the north a distance equal to the height of the fence; 3) It shall not be lighted for night use; and 4) The design and layout of the recreational facility on the property shall be such that it minimizes sound and light at the property line. At the time the application was submitted and approved for Discover Park - Zone 1 (that included the subject site), the subject amenity area was only shown as the site for a swimming pool area. No pickleball or other type of recreational athletic court was proposed by the applicant for the amenity area at that time, therefore the aforementioned athletic court regulations did not apply at time time. The athletic court regulations are now triggered with the proposed pickleball courts.

LIGHTING. Provide a photometric plan for the amenity area that complies with the requirements of UDO Section 8.230. Proposed exterior light fixtures shall comply with the requirements of UDO Sections 8.220, 8.260 and 8.270. Provide manufacturer specifications for all proposed exterior light fixtures for review.

MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. Will any mechanical equipment be housed outside the utility/pool equipment or storage rooms (e.g., HVAC condensers, etc.)? If so, show the location of any exterior mechanical equipment on the site plan (for any ground-mounted units) or building elevations (for any RTUs). Mechanical equipment shall be fully screened from view in accordance with UDO Sections 8.110.B and 8.110.C.

LANDSCAPE PLAN. The landscape plan shows proposed evergreen trees being of a height of 6' at the time of planting. To comply with City ordinance, evergreen trees shall be a minimum 8' in height at the time of planting. Revise.

FORM 7460. An FAA Form 7460 shall be completed and submitted to the FAA, and comments received back prior to any construction.
