| 01/13/2003 | TIM ROWE | PIMA COUNTY | WASTEWATER | Denied | PIMA COUNTY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT DEVELOPMENT REVIEW DIVISION 201 N. Stone Avenue, 2nd Floor Tucson, Arizona 85701-1207 CARMINE DEBONIS, JR. Phone: (520) 740-6586 Director FAX: (520) 740-6380 February 27, 2003 TO: Bruce Paton, Rick Engineering THRU: Craig Gross, City of Tucson Development Services FROM: Tim Rowe, P.E., Development Review Engineer (Wastewater) Pima County Development Review Division SUBJECT: Eastpointe Commercial Center, Lots 1-5 Development Plan - 1st Submittal D03-0002 We have reviewed the above-referenced project on behalf of the Pima County Wastewater Management Department. The following comments are offered for your use: 1. There is currently capacity in the existing downstream sewerage system for this development. This response is not to be construed as a commitment for conveyance capacity allocation, but rather an analysis of the existing sewerage system as of this date. 2. Based on the Sewer Service Agreement for Eastpointe Commercial Center, Lots 1-5 (S99-036), this project would qualify for Non-Participating sewer connection fee rates. 3. Add the development plan case number, D03-0002, to the title block of each sheet. This number should be shown larger or bolder than the cross reference numbers. 4. Sheet 1: Revise General Note 11 to read, ON-SITE SANITARY SEWERS WILL BE PUBLIC AND WILL BE DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO PIMA COUNTY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT STANDARDS AND MUST BE ACCEPTED AND RELEASED FOR SERVICE BY PIMA COUNTY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SEWER CONNECTION PERMITS. While the 6" HCS sewer lines will be private sewer lines, the intent of the required General Notes is to show whether the sewer "spines" or "trunks" are public or private. 5. Sheet 1: Delete General Note 12. This general note should be used only when more than 400' of off-site public line is being proposed. 6. Sheet 2: Each of the proposed 6" HCS lines must connect to the proposed 8" public sewer line at a manhole, or at a manufactured wye or tee installed in the public sewer line at the time of original construction. 7. Sheet 2: Show the existing sewer lines in the Houghton Road right of way (using the symbols and linetypes shown in the legend for existing sewers), including the size and plan number of the existing sewer line Note: A new sewer line (G-2002-044) is being constructed in the Houghton Road right-of-way to provide public sewer service to the Walgreen’s which will be, or has been, built at the northeast corner of Houghton & Broadway. Manhole #1 in his new sewer line may be a suitable point of connection to the public sewer system. This new sewer line does not yet appear on PCWWM’s base or section maps, but the approved plans for this sewer line may be seen in our offices. 8. Sheet 2: Show where the proposed public sewers will connect to the existing public sewer system, including the manhole number, rim elevation and invert elevation of the new or existing manhole that will serve as the point of connection. 9. Sheet 2: Two parallel sets of proposed sewer lines have been shown. Delete the set of proposed sewer lines shown in that portion of the existing public sewer easement (Bk 52, Pg. 100, M&P) that will be released by separate instrument per Keynote18. 10. Sheet 2: Number each proposed new public manhole, with NEW MH #1 being the new manhole with the lowest invert elevation, NEW MH #2 being the next upstream manhole, etc. 11. Sheet 2: Revise the manhole invert elevations as necessary to provide the slopes required by PCWWM’s manual of Engineering Standards and Procedures. 12. Sheets 2 & 4: The manholes in the proposed new sewer line must not collect and discharge excessive amounts of rainwater runoff into the public sewer system. The manhole north of Building 2 appears to be in the rainwater runoff channel. Revise, or show that this manhole will be equipped with a watertight cover. 13. Sheet 2: Show the length and slope of all the proposed 8" public sewer lines. 14. Sheet 2: Show an appropriate, proposed public sewer easement by separate instrument over the entire length of the proposed public sewer lines. This easement may not dead end on the property. PCWWM’s sewer maintenance vehicles must be able to enter the site, service all of the manholes in the public sewer lines, and exit the site without driving outside of the proposed easement. 15. Sheet 2: The 6" HCS lines serving Lots 1, 4, 5A & 5B extend onto other lots, and are either wholly, or partially, located outside the boundaries of the existing cross access easement. Provide private easements, joint use agreements, or other mechanisms as necessary for the owners of these lots to access the entire length of their HCS lines for maintenance, repair or replacement. 16. Begin the public sewer easement release process as soon as possible. Building permits for the structures shown within the easement being released, typically cannot be issued until after the release is complete. 17. We will require a revised set of bluelines, and a response letter, addressing these comments. Additional comments may be made during the review of these documents. If you wish to discuss the above comments, please contact me at 740-6563. Tim Rowe, P.E., Development Review Engineer (Wastewater) Pima County Development Review Division TR/tr Copy: Project |

Section 5.3.8.2, LUC, permits a maximum of one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a development plan. If, at the end of that time, the development plan has not been approved, it must be revised to be in compliance with all regulations in effect at that time, and must be resubmitted for a full CDRC review. The one-year expiration date for this development plan is January 13, 2004. 2. The plan has changed somewhat from the original concept/development plan. As of this review the Zoning Review Section will review the proposed changes as if the change of concept/development plan is minor and does not require Mayor and Council approval. If it is deemed necessary by the Rezoning Section that the changes are major and requires Mayor and Council approval, subsequent reviews may mandate additional comments. 3. In addition to the book and page description in the title block, add the brief legal description as noted in the previous plan, “Being a portion of the southeast…”. DS 2-05.2.1.G.2 4. Add to general note three (3) the subject to section 3.5.9.2.C. DS 2-05.2.2.B.1 5.

Demonstrate the required stacking capacity for the restaurant on pad 2. D. Indicate the number of proposed drive-through lanes for the bank. Demonstrate the required stacking capacity for each drive-through lane for the bank. Depict the drive-through lanes and escape lanes. G. The loading zone for the bank use may not be placed within a PAAL. Demonstrate maneuverability into and out of the loading zone when the drive-through lanes are occupied. Will the loading zone be provided with a separate PAAL to eliminate access problems? Future comments may be forthcoming on this issue based on subsequent plan submittals. DS 2-05.2.4.D.3 and DS 2-05.2.4.0 8. Building setbacks along a Scenic Corridor are based on a 3:1 ratio. Buildings five (5) and six (6) must be setback 90 feet from the Houghton Road property line. Building four (4) must be setback 79.5 feet from the Houghton Road property line. A variance is required if the buildings are to be constructed in the locations as shown on the plan. The previous variance was only for the Shurgard Parcel, see Board of Adjustment case C10-99-55 condition 5. (The change in development plan may be significant enough that the approved board of adjustment case may be null and void.) You may contact Wayne Bogdan for information regarding the Board of Adjustment case C10-99-05. DS 2-05.2.4.I 9. Provide a safe and continuous sidewalk from building five (5) to building six (6). All sidewalks must be a minimum of four in width. Where parking spaces abut a sidewalk and the vehicle is allowed to overhang onto the sidewalk the sidewalk must be a minimum of six and one-half (6-1/2) feet wide.

| 02/13/2003 | FRODRIG2 | COT NON-DSD | REAL ESTATE | Denied | REAL ESTATE SERVICES INFORMATION AND APPLICATION FORM TO: City of Tucson Real Estate Division Real Estate Administrator Post Office Box 27210 Tucson, AZ. 85726-7210 As owner(s) of the real property located at which has a tax parcel number of and which is legally described as: the undersigned does hereby make application for: Ž the vacation and sale of right-of-way Ž the abandonment of the City's interest in easement(s) Ž the City’s grant of easement(s) Ž (other) The specific action requested is detailed as follows: (legal descriptions, drawings, copies of vesting deeds and a title insurance policy are attached). The proposed use of the subject property is: This application is made subject to the following terms and conditions: The City will circularize this request to City, County and utility company staff for comments. The comments received in the circularization process may become conditions/requirements placed on this request, any such conditions/requirements shall be addressed by the undersigned. The City will prepare and provide the undersigned the appropriate Release and Consent forms. The undersigned must provide signed Release and Consents from all affected property owners. The enclosed check/money order made payable to the City of Tucson in the amount of $200.00 is submitted as a non-refundable application fee, regardless of the final outcome of this request. The City is not responsible for real estate commissions due any broker or agent for this request. The undersigned has received and read the attached Application Information and understands the timelines and potential conditions/requirements associated with a request of this nature. DATE: Property Owner Address Phone APPLICATION INFORMATION Applications for Real Estate Services should be filed at the Real Estate Division, County-City Public Works Building, 201 N. Stone Avenue, 6th Floor, or mailed to City of Tucson, Real Estate Division, P.O. Box 27210, Tucson, Arizona 85726-7210, Attention: Real Estate Administrator. The applicant should discuss its request with staff in the Real Estate Services Section prior to submitting an application. Preliminary ownership verification and feasibility of the request may be discussed as well as possible conditions/requirements that may be generated by the circularization of the request for comment by the appropriate agencies. In requests for vacation of right-of-way, the applicant is required to obtain signed Release and Consents from any other affected property owner(s). Evidence of title may be required for all parcels involved in the request and a site/development plan may be requested of the applicant. Occasionally conditions require the dedication by the applicant of other right-of-way needed by the City. In such cases, the applicant must obtain all signatures needed for required dedications. In requests for abandonment of easement, only the City’s interest can be abandoned through this process. If any other agency, including but not limited to Tucson Electric Power, Qwest Communications, Southwest Gas, Pima County Wastewater or Tucson Cablevision, have an interest in the subject easement, the applicant must pursue abandonment from each individual agency as a separate matter. Similar to the vacation of right-of-way, conditions/requirements may be made. If facilities currently exist in the easement area, abandonment is usually impossible unless applicant pays for and completes the relocation or abandonment of the occupying facilities. In all requests for the conveyance of an interest in real property, value must be paid to the City for the property being conveyed. This value may be calculated by the City’s remnant land sale process, estimated by staff or by appraisal. The value may be in the form of a land for land exchange, paid in cash or on parcels valued over $7,500, paid to the City by three annual payments plus interest. APPLICATION FEE A non-refundable application fee of $200.00 is charged for processing all real estate service requests. PROCEDURE These procedures may vary slightly, depending upon the specific request. Generally, upon payment of application fee, the required Release and Consents will be prepared by City staff and given to the applicant. Signatures on Release and Consents are to be obtained by the applicant. Staff may develop a sketch illustrating the requested action. The sketch and narrative explanation of the request will be circularized to appropriate City and County departments and utility companies for comment. If any of the utility companies have facilities or installations in the requested right-of-way, arrangements must be made for 1) relocation of the facilities or 2) reservation of easement(s) by the City to allow the facilities to remain in place. Note that in requests for the abandonment of the City’s interest in utility easements, the City does not contact the utility companies or Pima County, the applicant must contact those agencies directly. The applicant will be notified of conditions/requirements placed on the proposal by the reviewing agencies. The applicant must agree to meet said conditions/requirements or, if said conditions/requirements are not acceptable, the applicant may negotiate directly with any review agency making conditions/requirements. A change of conditions/requirements must be confirmed in writing by the applicable review agency. City staff will determine the applicable means of valuation. The in-house determination of value under the City’s remnant sales procedure may be sufficient to establish the value of the property the applicant is seeking to acquire but certain cases require a full appraisal. Approval of the Real Estate and Appraisal Review Committee is also typically required. The remnant sales procedure is available for use in cases where sales price is less than $12,500. The procedure uses 120% of the assessed land value already established by the Pima County Assessor on a square foot basis for the adjacent property to determine a minimum sale price. Approval of the Real Estate Administrator and Director of Transportation is required. Approval of the Appraisal Review Committee is additionally required for sales between $2,501 and $12,500. On sales up to $7,500 the City Clerk records the signed Quitclaim Deed, as the City provides no title insurance for these sales. Sales above $7,500 require separate Mayor and Council approval and closing is usually through escrow at a title company. Title insurance plus one-half of the escrow fees, may be paid by the City in certain circumstances. If staff determines a full appraisal is required, the Real Estate Division will coordinate and obtain an appraisal and a separate appraisal review by appraisers under contract with the City. The applicant shall be responsible to pay all appraisal costs up front. Staff will schedule final approval of the purchase price by the Real Estate and Appraisal Review Committee. If the application is for the vacation and sale of street frontage, the applicant shall be responsible to obtain and record a survey of the new right of way alignment. All costs associated with the survey are to be paid by the applicant. The City may credit the cost of the appraisal and/or the survey toward the purchase price if the proposed transaction closes escrow within one year. If the sale does not proceed to closing, the costs are non-refundable. If appraisal and/or survey costs exceed the value of the right-of-way, the difference is non-refundable. NOTE: Where a request for the vacation and sale of right-of-way is due to an encroachment into the right-of-way, the appraisal and survey costs will not be deducted from the purchase price. The applicant may also be required to reimburse the City for staff time spent on investigation, inspection, survey of encroachment or preparation of an “estimate of value” for right-of-way to be vacated in cases of minor encroachments where a full appraisal may not be required. A formal agreement and the conveyance documents will be prepared by City staff and provided to the applicant. Signatures on any required documents are to be obtained by the applicant. Any right-of-way dedication must be free and clear of monetary encumbrances. Once the signed documents are returned to the Real Estate Division, staff will schedule any request with a net value above $7,500 for Mayor and Council consideration. The estimated time for completion of the above-described procedure ranges from 30 to 180 days. As previously mentioned, procedures may vary slightly depending upon the type of request and specific action required. Use this information as a guide and be prepared to provide staff with information on a timely basis to avoid additional steps and or delays.

Provide updated Landscape Plan that is coordinated, compatible, and consistent with the revised Development Plan. The revised development plan does not appear to provide, to the fullest extent possible, shade along pedestrian walkways within the proposed project site. Please show on the development plan [sheet 2] and the updated landscape plan [L1.1] the placement of trees along the interior pedestrian circulation paths of the project site so as to provide shade for pedestrians to the fullest extent possible. [Rezoning Condition no. 11] There are duplicate rezoning conditions number 9 on the revised development plan, sheet 3. Please correct to remove duplication of rezoning condition number 9. The rezoning conditions call for trees along the West property line to be at least 24 inch box in size. The development plan and the updated landscape plan do not indicate 24 inch box trees along the west property line, with the only reference in the landscape being 15 gallon trees. Please correct and add to the language in the updated Landscape plan to explicitly read that trees along the West property line shall be at least 24 inch box in size. [Rezoning Condition no. 1.K] The development plan does not show or indicate that pedestrian access is restricted from Eastepointe Estates to the C-1 parcel at the drainage ways. Please provide a detail and indicate on the development how and where the pedestrian access is restricted from Eastepointe Estates to the C-1 parcel at the drainage ways. [Rezoning Condition no. 8] The development plan does not show or indicate the buffer areas that shall be fenced before grading occurs in accordance with the approved NPPO. Please show on the development plan and/or the updated landscape plan the fencing for all the buffer areas in accordance with the approved NPPO. [Rezoning Condition no. 1.F] The development plan does not appear to show that the retention/detention areas are to be fully landscaped and include trees, as well as, provide for water harvesting techniques. Please demonstrate and show on either the updated landscape plan and/or the development plan that the retention/detention areas will be fully landscaped to include trees with water harvesting techniques include in the landscape plan.

Defer to Development Services for comments and compliance of the following rezoning conditions: 1. F, D, E. Provide renderings and color palette for all buildings and signage in order to demonstrate colors used are found in the surrounding natural desert. [Rezoning Condition no. 1.K] The development plan, sheet 3, does not provide a section detail of the proposed masonry screen walls for this project. Please provide a section detail on sheet 3 of the development plan that includes design treatment and height dimensions for all masonry screen walls. [Rezoning Condition no. 7] The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) has initiated a Houghton Road Corridor Study to determine future improvements to Houghton Road from Sahuarita Road to Tanque Verde Road. ADOT has not yet made specific recommendations, but they have publicly stated that the future roadway will have limited access. The term, limited access, has been defined to limit access onto Houghton Road to major streets only. The two driveways along Houghton Road proposed in this development plan clearly do not represent limited access. Since Houghton Road is a State Route for planning purposes, the design of the access onto Houghton Road should be reviewed and/or approved by ADOT before the revised development plan is approved by the City. Their review will also be required for any modifications to the median on Houghton Road. As a limited access facility it can be expected that direct access from individual driveways will be extremely limited. This may mean that any access granted currently will be eliminated in the future. In consideration of this fact, the revised development plan, including on-site circulation, should be designed in a manner that provides all access and f circulation from Broadway Boulevard. 15. The Development Plan and updated Landscape Plan must delineate the approved Houghton Road cross-sections, including the urban trails system along the west side of the right-of-way. Please coordinate with Traffic Engineering, Vince Catalano, and Parks and Recreation, Glenn Hicks, and provide a section detail that shows the landscape cross-section, including urban trail system along Houghton Road. |
