REVIEW 2

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.

Please resubmit revised drawings along with a detailed response letter, which states how all of the Site Landscape and NPPO Section review comments have been addressed.

SITE LANDSCAPE/NPPO SECTION COMMENTS:

1. Add spot elevations at the top and bottom of the depressed landscape areas or add a leader callout to the grading plan and the planting plan with the corresponding note number on those sheets.

2. The screen section and elevation detail is great. Add the 1 foot offset and 4:1 slope to the foundation side of the screen section detail. Standing water on the concrete could cause issues with the structural integrity of the fence and foundation in the future.

3. Update notes 9 and 10 on the planting plan to be more specific with regard to the inorganic groundcover. It should state that a 2-inch depth layer of screened rock of whatever nominal size you chose and specify a color or state approved equal. IE: 2” depth of ¾” screened rock in Coronado Brown (or approved equal). It should also state that all landscape areas and other disturbed areas on site shall receive this screened rock treatment.

Thank you.
