SUBJECT: Hemisphere Corporate Center Development Plan- 4th Engineering Review
TO: Patricia Gehlen, CDRC Manager
LOCATION: 6300 S Palo Verde Road, T15S R14E Sec09 Ward 5
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: D06-0024


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received the revised development plan (Sheets 1 through 14), the revised Drainage Report (Arroyo Engineering, LLC, 31AUG07) and the revised landscape plan. Engineering Division has reviewed the submitted development plan and does not recommend approval of the development plan at this time. The following items need to be addressed:

DRAINAGE REPORT:

1) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.6.B.1-3: Revise the drainage report to meet the minimum standards for development within a Critical Basin. On Page 9, Section C, Onsite Runoff for existing and Developed Conditions, with Retention Table shows that the 2-, 10- and 100-year flow events are not reduced by the required 15%. Development within the Critical Basin Management Plan must provide a 15% reduction in the developed conditions for the 2-, 10-, and 100-year flow events relative to the existing conditions. Revise the calculation, design layout and tables to show that these requirements have been met. Per DS Sec.10-01.1.4 and 2.3 stormwater detention requirements may not be waived if the proposed development is located within a critical basin.

2) Per the August 6, 2007 meeting with Elizabeth Eberbach, PE and Matt Flick, PE of DSD Engineering a minimum 1% slope is required within the bottom of both retention/detention basins to assure positive drainage. The new basin south of the existing reinforced box culverts under Palo Verde Road must show positive drainage of 1%. The proposed Development Plan calls out only 0.5% longitudinal basin bottom slopes, revise. For this project the slope between the inverts within the channel from the box culverts at Palo Verde and the existing box culverts under the access will be accepted.

3) Clarify the low flow bleed pipes that are used to drain the detention/retention basins. All low flow bleed pipes must show how they will be maintained for the life of the project. Field observations have shown that 6-inch diameter bleed pipes will sediment in and provide a maintenance issue for keeping them clean. Revise the low flow bleed pipes to show a minimum diameter dimension of 12-inch with a 6-inch orifice plate on the upstream end for this project.

4) DS 10-1.3.5.2: Clarify in the drainage report the high water elevation for the proposed detention of storm water runoff within the vehicular use area. Provide a statement within the report that all ponding within the vehicular use area does not exceed the maximum 1-foot depth per DS 10-1.3.5.2. Revise the cross section J/2 to label the ponding limits within the vehicular use area.

5) Verify within the drainage report that the 10-year stormwater discharge is contained under all pedestrian circulation paths. Specifically the crosswalk location from Palo Verde Road to the proposed building. Per DS 10-01.3.5.2 proposed ponding in a vehicular use area should be designed such that pedestrians are not inconvenienced.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN:

6) Chapter 29 Sec.29-15: The proposed improvements (parking lot area and trash enclosure) within the 50' W.A.S.H. overlay zone require SAC approval. When approved update General Note #33 to include the date of approval for the W.A.S.H. overlay.

7) DS Sec.1-01.4.7: It is understood that a DSMR has been submitted for this project due to the disturbance within the protected riparian area. The DSMR must be approved prior to Development Plan approval. All exhibits and discussion must reflect any changes made by the approved DSMR. Revise General Note # 32 to provide the DSMR number, the Development Standard being modified along with the date of DSMR approval.

8) DS 10-1.3.5.2: Clarify on the Development Plan the high water elevation for the proposed detention of storm water runoff within the vehicular use area. Verify on Detail J/2 the high water elevation within the vehicular use area. Label the high water elevation on the detail or in plan view to verify that the ponding limits do not exceed the maximum 1-foot depth per DS 10-1.3.5.2.

9) Revise Sheets 3 and 4 to provide the recordation information for the cross access agreement that is shown on both sheets. The cross access agreement must be recorded prior to Development plan approval.

10) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: Clarify the low flow bleed pipes that are used to drain all detention/retention basins. All low flow bleed pipes must show how they will be maintained for the life of the project. Field observations have shown that 6-inch bleed pipes will sediment in and provide a maintenance issue for keeping them clean. Revise the low flow bleed pipes on the development plan to show a minimum dimension of 12-inch with a 6-inch orifice plate on the upstream end. Provide revisions within the drainage report calculations.

11) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: Revise the Development Plan, Sheet 8, to call out the low flow bleed pipe from the proposed retention basin in the northeast corner into the proposed channel. The bleed pipe must have a minimum dimension of 12-inch with a 6-inch orifice plate on the upstream end. Provide revisions within the drainage report calculations.

12) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.2: Provide the cross section location for the proposed south retention/detention basin along the southern portion of the property at the east boundary located on Sheets 8 and 10.

13) Verify on the Development Plan and within the drainage report that the 10-year stormwater discharge is contained under all pedestrian circulation paths. Specifically the crosswalk location from Palo Verde Road to the proposed building. Per DS 10-01.3.5.2 proposed ponding in a vehicular use area should be designed such that pedestrians are not inconvenienced.

14) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: Revise Keynote #14 to call out all dimensions for any proposed riprap. This keynote is used at all riprap location and is called out as typical, however per the drainage report some areas require different rock size, thickness, method of placement and dimensions. Provide the size of riprap (hand placed, dumped, grouted, with filter fabric) for Keynote #14. It may be necessary to add an additional keynote for other riprap locations.

15) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: Revise Detail Q/9 on Sheet 9 of 14 to provide the dimensions for the required concrete cut-off wall at the outlet end of the proposed concrete box culverts. Provide the dimension for the length of the box culvert per the drainage report. The detail does not meet the design requirements called out in the proposed drainage report, revise the details or provide a new report that address the design shown.

16) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: Clarify the difference in design for the upstream and downstream end of the proposed concrete box culverts as shown in Detail Q/9 versus the hydraulic calculation sheets within the proposed drainage report. The proposed drainage report analyzed the culvert hydraulics using wing walls with a flare of 30-70 degrees to protect the culverts from erosion. The proposed Development Plan shows a different construction design than what is shown in the proposed drainage report, clarify.

17) Clarify the ramp location with percent slope for the proposed basin along the southeast corner of the parcel. The ramp can not be located so that a maintenance vehicle has to cross the proposed riprap spillways or be in conflict with parked vehicles.

18) Per the August 6, 2007 meeting with Elizabeth Eberbach, PE and Matt Flick, PE of DSD Engineering a minimum 1% slope is required within the bottom of both retention/detention basins to assure positive drainage. The new basin south of the existing reinforced box culverts under Palo Verde Road must show positive drainage of 1%. The proposed Development Plan calls out only 0.5% longitudinal basin bottom slopes, revise. For this project the slope between the inverts within the channel from the box culverts at Palo Verde and the existing box culverts under the access will be accepted.

19) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.G: Provide the required easement for the proposed water main shown on Sheets 12, 13 and 14. All easements must be dimensioned and labeled as to their purpose and whether the are public or private. Provide the recordation information for the public water easement.
