Show the existing and proposed deck footprint
Lee’s Summit’s residential deck information distinguishes a plot plan locating and dimensioning the deck from a building plan showing construction details. It provides a Scope of Work Statement and Development Services contact route. Site position and component changes are different information to prepare for that conversation.
Mark the existing footprint and any proposed change to it. Show stairs, landings and the relationship to the house and yard, clearly separating current conditions from alternatives. A finish photograph alone may not explain a larger outline or a changed route between levels.
Name the components proposed to remain
Name the components proposed to remain, such as framing or supports, separately from the surface pieces you want considered. Ask an appropriate professional to assess those retained parts rather than assume reuse is suitable because the project is called a repair or replacement.
Keep the component list and site sketch with the City enquiry about the actual scope. Explain the desired stopping point and adjoining finishes, then confirm what the provider accepts. This guide does not supply a deck design, decide an exemption, verify load capacity or establish the condition of existing supports and connections.
Why show both deck footprint and construction details to Lee’s Summit?
The City describes plot-plan information about location and dimensions separately from building-plan construction details. Show the site position and the proposed component changes as different parts of the enquiry.
Can a replacement deck assume the existing supports will remain?
Do not assume so. Identify the parts you hope to retain and ask for appropriate assessment before scope is agreed. A replacement label does not establish their condition or suitability.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
