RE: DP20-0159, SITE/GRADING - Optimum Inc, new building and driveway / 8500 E Old Vail
Rd, Tucson AZ 85747, Received June 15, 2023
To whom this may concern,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on DP20-0159, the development plan for Optimum
Inc, new building and driveway at 8500 E Old Vail Rd. This development is located in the S.W.
corner of the S.E. quarter of Section 21, Township 15S, Range 15E, of the Gila and Salt River
Meridian. The development site occupies parcel number 141-11-030B, covers approximately
5.08 ± acres, and is zoned as Heavy Industrial Zone (I-2). The nearest major roadway
intersection is E Old Vail Rd and S Rita Rd, approximately 3600 feet to the southeast of the
subject development.
This site does lie within FAA Part 77 airspace.
The Tucson Airport is requiring a resubmit of this project. These conditions must be included in
the development plan document and shall be identified in the general notes section of all future
plans submitted to the City of Tucson for review.
Conditions of approval:
1. “According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice Criteria Tool, this project
area is located in proximity to a navigation facility and could impact navigation signal
reception. This proposed structure exceeds an instrument approach area by 42 feet and
an aeronautical study is needed to determine if it will exceed a standard of subpart C of
14CFR Part 77. As this project develops, all applicants must file FAA Form 7460 with
the FAA at least 45 days before construction activities begin unless FAA staff, with the
Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA), provides the project
applicant with written communication that filing FAA Form 7460 is not required. It is
highly recommended that the applicant file earlier than 45 days to provide the applicant
with sufficient time to respond to any concerns identified by the FAA. Note also that
cranes to be used during all development or construction activities must also be
identified with Form 7460. Please file Form 7460 at
https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp.”
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this
comment letter. I can be reached by email at srobidoux@flytucson.com or by telephone at 520-
573-4811.
Respectfully,

07/06/2023 ROW Engineering Review REQUIRES RESUBMIT DP20-0159 (8500 E OLD VAIL RD TUCSON, AZ 85747)

Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter which states how all comments were addressed.

Comments:

1. The Tucson Street Design Guide offers the option to use a smaller 15’ curb radius on the proposed curb returns on the eastern side of the property (SDG 5-10). Smaller radii are safer for pedestrians. The smallest feasible radius should be used.
2. 10-01.3.3.D.1.d - Lateral transitions in sidewalk shall be no sharper than 3:1. Where the sidewalk jogs laterally near the new 25’ driveway, please show that it meets this standard. See P. A. G. SD 207 for an illustration.
3. Please repair any sidewalk in the ROW that has become uneven over time or heaved by tree roots.
4. The Subdivision plat seems to show a 60’ utility easement running very roughly parallel to Old Vail Rd. If the easement still exists, please show it on the plans.
