The proposed development must comply with Administrative Manual 2-06 – Development Package. If the applicant decides to proceed a Condominium Plat, the Plat should comply with AM 2-07. 2.

A separate demolition permit will be required. Impact fee credits from the demolition can be applied to the impact fees for the new residential units so long as the demolition permit has completed inspections within five years of the building permit applications for the proposed units. 4. The site is zoned R-2 and the proposed use is Multifamily Residential which is permitted subject to use specific standards 4.9.7.B.6, .9, & .10 (UDC Table 4.8-2). 5. The minimum setback requirements for the north, west and east property lines are the greater of 10 feet or ¾ the height of the proposed structure wall measured from the exterior wall to the property line (UDC Table 6.3-2.A).

| TW New Area Development | REVIEW COMPLETED | TP-PRE-0624-00137 - Pre-Application Conference Review v1 – 1701 E ADELAIDE DR Tucson Water has no objections to the proposed development and offers the following comments for your convenience: 1. I believe it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to install all of the underground utility lines that these duplexes will need in such a narrow lot, especially as they should not be installed under the landscaping, and the necessary private sewer line will be considered a "waste water collection line" and subject to ADEQ's regulations for such. 2. Tucson Water strongly recommends (but is not requiring) that each of the six dwelling units have its own water meter. This offers the following advantages to the owner of the property and to Tucson Water: a) The Property Manager will not need to divide up a single water bill, and then bill the occupants of each dwelling unit. b) The occupants of each dwelling unit will know that their water bill is based on just their water usage, not on their neighbors water use as well. c) Any water leaks that may occur will be easier to identify and to trace. The above comments are based on the limited preliminary information provided by the applicant and should not be construed as a complete review of the proposal. Any questions, comments or concerns about these comments may be directed to: Tim Rowe, P.E., Civil Engineer Tucson Water, New Development Section 201 N. Stone Avenue, #2-220 P.O.
