04/24/2023 Site Engineering REQUIRES RESUBMIT 1. The 45 gal/unit cited in (TC 15-10.1.E) must be provided passively, that is, independently of number of collections per week. Therefore 50.6 cy must be provided (or provide a letter from andy.vera@tucsonaz.gov approving the current collection volume)
2. Ensure a pedestrian circulation path from each building out to the trash enclosures, Houghton Rd, and Jumping Cholla Rd
3. Ensure any traffic comments regarding potential sidewalk along Houghton Rd are addressed
4. Ensure 40X14' clear space in front of each proposed waste container (TSM 8-01), esp. the double container to the East
5. Clarify if the waste container to the East is two single enclosures or a double enclosure, and provide a detail of the double if required
6. Show how 4' of sidewalk will be maintained with a 2.5' overhang from wheel stop or curb edge on sidewalks adjacent to parking spaces (TSM 7-01)
7. Water harvesting could be further maximized by adding curb cuts at points where street flow hits curb returns. Also show how water will flow into basins # 2E, and 5E from the street (if they are passive, they will not count for first flush retention) through grading, curb cuts, and/or flush curbs
8. Show locations of proposed roof drainage (it looks like that is being routed to the underground storage, just provide a callout of the gutter or other drainage mechanism off the room and into the storm system). Ensure roof drainage up to the 10-yr storm is directed around/under adjacent sidewalks through the use of gutters/scuppers (TSM 7-01)
9. PC-LID is intended to be used for attenuating detention requirements through stormwater harvesting basins, and is not intended for use with underground storage systems. Provide basin routing calculations for the underground storage basins (PC-ROUTE software may be used, along with manufacturer provided routing volumes, to find the "100%" detention volume of the underground storage. Please note: The stormwater attenuation on PC-LID through depressed water harvesting basins may be used to account for the extra 50% required detention volume. Ensure
10. From discussions with ADS, it has been determined the isolator row is a key component of the underground storage system as it acts as a settling tank for any potentially contaminating soil. Clarify how water will be entering an isolator row before entering the rest of the underground storage chambers. Ensure the isolator row has the woven geotextile on its floor to ensure protection of clean rock from soil during normal storm events.
11. Per the retention/detention manual, add an inspection port to the isolator row(s) (it is not needed on the other additional storage rows)
12. Provide a draft of the required underground storage covenant. The covenant must be recorded before permit final
13. An infiltration test for the proposed underground retention must be completed before permit issuance
14. Show location and flow path of emergency overflow drainage into Eastern drainageway as proposed in the drainage report
15. Show top and bottom elevation of water harvesting basins to ensure water harvesting maximization, and to show proposed .75' retention depth (Landscaping plan references civil plan for depth details)
16. Provide approval from DTM for use of corrugated metal pipe culvert in ROW, generally culverts must be constructed of concrete
17. Culvert should be designed following a process similar to Chapter 11 of the COT drainage manual to ensure backwater effects do not violate drainage/flooding requirements. Ensure this accounts for upstream discharge from the Jumping Cholla culvert and channel. Please contact DTM for more information.
18. Show proposed inlet and outlet inverts for the culvert on grading plan, and provide a detail showing construction standards and specifications for any headwalls, piping, etc
19. Show a 1' setback from the edge of any parking canopy to the adjacent P.A.A.L

DUE DATE: April 29, 2023
COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all Landscape Review Section comments were addressed.
This plan has been reviewed for compliance with applicable development criteria in the City of Tucson Unified Development Code (UDC) Administrative Manual (AM) Section 2-11 and Technical Manual (TM) Section for landscape, native plants and water harvesting.

1. Please provide 7041 registrant information, as the name and number is not listed by the AZ Tech Board of Registration.

2. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Please label the existing and future rights of way for all public streets, UDC 7.6.4.C.2.a.

3. Landscape buffer calc table is incorrect, replace 10’ for 30’ for Scenic Overlay.

4. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Please provide a summary of quantities of mitigation and TOS plants in a manner that makes it simple to cross check between landscape and NPP plans. Sort plants by species, then by low, medium, high.

5. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Please include a detail for the backflow preventer and locking enclosure.

6. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Provide a detail to show tree planting with root barrier adjacent to walkways, not just in ROW.

7. Engineer and LA - This comment was not sufficiently addressed - The grading plan and water harvesting plan do not meet the requirements of the water harvesting ordinance and technical standard. The plan doesn't show the effective use of run-off to supplement irrigation. The water budget table is incorrect and below the 50% water harvesting requirement. The grading plan doesn’t show curb openings, scuppers, catch basins (slope, top/bottom elevations). Move from “Materials Plan”.
a. The catchment areas must provide water to the infiltration areas. Revise the grading to direct runoff to the landscape infiltration areas to the maximum extent possible.
b. Catchment areas in the water harvesting table can only count the areas that are directed to the landscape infiltration areas.
c. Clearly show the areas in each catchment area and the areas of effective landscape areas should be included within infiltration areas.
d. Show rooftop drainage patterns and show how they are incorporated into the water harvesting calculations.
e. Water harvesting areas should be depressed between 6 and 9 inches. These areas can be counted toward first flush retention requirements. The notes/plans indicate a .5’ depth, whereas the water budget table shows .75’.

8. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Identify curb inlets/splash pads, scuppers to landscape areas on water harvesting and grading plans.
9. This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Grading, hydrology, and landscape plans must be integrated to make maximum use of site storm water runoff for supplemental on-site irrigation purposes. The landscape, water harvesting, and grading plans must match.This comment was not sufficiently addressed - Provide a maintenance schedule for the landscape and irrigation for this project. UDC 2-10-4.2.A.4., please be specific.
11. A site visit is required to verify the low number of viable plants, prior to approval.
