| 04/12/2007 | LAITH ALSHAMI | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 05/17/2007, TO: Patricia Gehlen FROM: Laith Alshami, P.E. CDRC Engineering SUBJECT: Sorrento Square Retail Center D07-0014, T14S, R15E, SECTION 26 RECEIVED: Development Plan, Landscape Plan, and Drainage Report on April 11, 2007 The subject submittal has been reviewed. We offer the following comments. Prepare a detailed response that explains the revisions that were made and references the exact location in the drainage report and on the Development Plan where the revisions were made: Drainage Report: 1. The wash that crosses the southwestern corner of the parcel is designated as "Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat". Identify the wash as such in the report. Additionally, it appears that the proposed improvements encroach slightly on the 100-year floodplain, which requires compliance with the provisions of Development Standard 2-13.0. Verify compliance with the said Standard and coordinate the work with the Landscape Section. Additionally, show on Figure 4 the wash pre and post development water surface elevations. 2. It is not clear if the erosion hazard setback lines are shown from the top of bank or from the 100-year floodplain limit. Clarify. 3. Revise Table 2 to include Watershed 220D. 4. It appears that Detention Basin "A" hydraulic information was not summarized in a table. Revise. 5. It appears that the proposed delay in peak discharges caused by the proposed detention basins might worsen the floodplain situation downstream. Address this issue and revise as necessary. 6. Provide in the text or on the drainage exhibit (Figure 4) the location of the proposed scuppers and curb openings. 7. The maintenance checklist shall be revised to include all proposed drainage structures within this development. 8. Since the upstream watershed is not designated as balanced or critical, the developments within the watershed are not expected to provide runoff detention. Accordingly, in order to determine the offsite runoff impact on this parcel, this development shall assume that the upstream parcels shall be fully developed, in accordance with their zoning. Revise the Hydrologic data sheets, the HEC RAS analysis and the overall drainage scheme accordingly. 9. It appears that the discharge, in watershed 100D, at the high point within the PAAL, travels north towards Golf Links. Explain if that is the case or clarify how that part of the runoff ends up at concentration point 100D. 10. If drainage is going to be concentrated in the P.A.A.L's, provide hydraulic ratings for them. 11. The drainage report shall recommend the finished floor elevations for the proposed buildings. 12. Show on Figure 4 additional flow arrows and spot grade elevations including grade breaks. 13. Show on Figure 4 the proposed drainage structure dimensions (i.e. the erosion control pads and spillways, maintenance access ramps and basin dimensions, etc.) P.A.A.L's, pipe basin sides and maintenance ramp slopes, drainage structure elevations (i.e. flow line and pipe invert elevations, etc.). 14. Show on Figure 4 all proposed drainage solutions/structures with all required details (i.e. type, materials, location, size and dimensions, slopes, grades, high and low points, water ponding and slope setback lines, retention/detention basins inlet details, waterharvesting basins, surface flow arrows, finished floor elevations, cross section locations and details, etc.) that would clarify how the proposed drainage scheme will work. The drainage information shown on the tentative plat and grading plan will be based on the information provided in the drainage report text and drainage exhibits. The information may be tabulated on Figure 4. 15. Water harvesting techniques shall be incorporated into the development by conveying surface flow and rooftop drainage to designated water harvesting areas. Please address, in more details, how water-harvesting techniques will be incorporated into the development. Refer to the newly adopted City of Tucson Water Harvesting Guidance Manual for design considerations. Copies of the above-referenced manual can be obtained from the Engineering Counter. Additionally, specify in the water harvesting section that landscaped areas shall be depressed a maximum of 6" for water harvesting. Please be advised that aggressive water harvesting may significantly reduce the volume of retention required. Please provide either an appropriately sized retention basin and/or a detailed water-harvesting plan. 16. The drainage report does not address roof drainage and sidewalk scuppers except for the proposed basins. According to D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.3. and D.S. 3-01.4.4.F. 10-year flow has to be completely conveyed under sidewalks when concentrated runoff crosses any sidewalk/walkway. Additionally, show the roof drainage direction on the drainage exhibit and provide sidewalk scuppers for the roof drains. Please be advised that the 10-year flow requirement does not apply to roof drainage. Roof drainage has to be discharged in its entirety to avoid prolonged ponding on the roof that might cause the roof to collapse. Demonstrate compliance with the sidewalk scupper requirement including design calculations. 17. Verify that Basin "A" discharge will not be concentrated, which might create an erosion problem within the downstream parcel. The discharge shall, at minimum, match the pre development conditions. 18. The HEC RAS analysis shall utilize the same contour map for existing and proposed conditions. Using Figure 3, which has less elevation contour information, for existing conditions is not acceptable. 19. It is not clear if the proposed detention/retention basins require security barriers as required by the "Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual". Revise as necessary and refer pages 81 and 82 of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual for additional information. 20. Provide the design calculations for all proposed erosion protection pads. 21. Provide a geotechnical report that addresses slope protection and required building setbacks from the proposed slopes and the detention/retention basins ponding limits. 22. As required by Rezoning Condition #20, sediment traps shall be incorporated in the detention/retention basin design. Revise the basins accordingly. 23. Detention/retention basins shall be designed in accordance with Rezoning Conditions #21, #22, #23, 24, and #25. Revise the basins accordingly. 24. According to Section 14.3 of the "Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management In Tucson, Arizona", the proposed detention/retention basins require maintenance access ramps that shall be wide enough to accommodate vehicular access. The minimum width should be 15' and the ramp slope should not exceed 15 percent. Please be advised that maintenance ramps should be designed in such a way that does not allow access to vehicles except maintenance vehicles. Verify that the maintenance ramps will not reduce the required size of the basins. 25. According to Section 3.3.5 "Low-Flow Channels" of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual the proposed basins floors shall be sloped to provide positive drainage. The section recommends a minimum of 0.5% floor slope and 0.2% low flow concrete channel slope. Please be advised that based on the City's experience with similar projects, 0.5% slope was difficult to construct and maintain which resulted in nuisance ponding in the basins. Additionally, clarify how the basin floor elevations are called out on Figure 4, but a 0.5% basin bottom slope is also shown, which implies that the bottoms elevations vary. Provide the basin bottom elevations that are consistent with the bottom slopes. 26. In accordance with Chapter 4 of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual, the detention/retention basins shall be designed to be natural looking, aesthetically pleasing and have multi-use. Verify compliance with these recommendations. Development Plan: 1. Provide a brief legal description as required by D.S. 2-05.2.1.G.2. 2. Provide the correct D(yr)-______ subdivision case number as required by D.S. 2-05.2.2.B.2. 3. List the proposed use of the property (D.S. 2-05.2.2.B.3.). 4. A GPS based basis of bearing is not acceptable. The Basis of Bearing shall be established from two found, physically monumented points described and shown on the plan (D.S. 2-03.6.5.C.1.). Additionally, provide a tie between the basis of bearing and at least one of the subject parcel corners. 5. Show the parcel lines monuments and clarify if they are found or set. Provide the required survey information for all parcel line monuments. 6. Is the sewer easement, shown on sheet 8 of 10, existing or proposed. If the easement is existing, provide the recordation information and revise the Title Report to including. If the easement is proposed, call it out as such. 7. It does not appear that the easement information in the Title Report matches the information on the Development Plan (e.g. electrical easement recorded in Book 69 and Page 72 does not appear to be shown on the plan). Ensure that the Title Report information is updated and the Development Plan reflects correctly the Title Report information. 8. Verify, either on the plan or in written documentation, compliance with Rezoning conditions 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 12, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25. 9. The 100-year floodplain does not appear to have been completely preserved as required by Rezoning Condition # 15. Revise the Development Plan to demonstrate compliance. 10. Additional right of way shall be dedicated for Houghton Road and Golf Links Road to their ultimate MS & R widths. 11. Add a general note, which states that this project is affected by the City of Tucson Floodplain Regulations (D.S. 2-05.2.2.C.2.a) 12. Add a general note, which states that a floodplain use permit is required for the proposed within the wash (D.S. 2-05.2.2.C.2.b). 13. Show clearly the existing 100-year floodplain as required by D.S. 2-05.2.3.I. The provided floodplain line is very light and hardly visible. 14. Provide Golf Links existing and future right of way information as required by D.S. 2-05.2.3.C and D.S. 2-05.2.4.D & E. 15. The property legal description includes two parcels, which do not appear to be delineated on the plan. Additionally, the legal description does not appear to be complete. Verify if the legals are accurate. 16. Provide the existing storm drainage facilities adjacent to the site as required by D.S. 2-05.2.3.F. 17. Show the existing 100-year floodplain limits including 100-year water surface elevations as required by D.S. 2-05.2.3.I. 18. It appears that some trash enclosures are located in tight areas and can not be accessed. Revise as required by D.S. 2-05.2.4.T. and D.S. 6-01.4.0. Additionally, it appears that some loading zones are inaccessible. Check and revise as necessary. 19. Building #5 does not appear to have a trash enclosure. Revise as needed. 20. The proposed sidewalk on Houghton Road shall be 6' per MS & R. Dimension Houghton Road sidewalk accordingly. 21. Sheet 9 of 10 is showing three detention basins, yet the sheet appears to have drainage information for two only. Additionally, the inflow/outflow information appears to be incorrect. Revise the detention basin information in accordance with the Drainage Report. 22. Show the Detention Basins 100-year ponding limits with water surface elevation (D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.1.). 23. The drainage solutions and structures shall be verified once the required information is provided on the Drainage Report Drainage Exhibits (D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.2 & 3.). 24. Building #9 appears to be very close to the wash, which makes it necessary to clarify how the erosion hazard setback was delineated as stated in the 2nd Drainage Report comment. Relocating the building might be required. 25. Based on the findings of the Geotechnical Report, show the proposed slope and ponding water setback lines. Proposed buildings shall be located outside the said setbacks (D.S. 2-05.2.4.I.). 26. Show the 100-year flood limits with water surface elevations for all flows of 100 cfs or more (D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.6.). 27. Dimension all existing and proposed sidewalks along abutting right of way to verify that the sidewalks are in compliance with the MS & R requirements (i.e. 6 foot sidewalks are required on MS & R streets (D.S. 2-05.2.4.L.). 28. Truncated domes shall be installed at all existing wheelchair ramps abutting the subject project. 29. Provide street cross sections, for Golf Links and Houghton Road that demonstrate proposed street improvements and compliance with the Rezoning Conditions. 30. The 26' wide curb opening shown on sheet 7 of 10 in front of Building #1 is wide enough to allow inadvertent vehicular access, which is not acceptable. Revise the opening and any other similar situation to prevent vehicles from entering the landscape areas. 31. Show the ratio of all proposed slopes. Additionally, all proposed slope protection shall be based on the recommendations of the geotechnical report. 32. Security barriers shall be installed for all proposed detention basins where applicable. 33. All proposed riprap shall be installed over filter fabric. Revise the plans accordingly. 34. All proposed easements shall be labeled and dimensioned as required by (D.S. 2-05.2.4.G). 35. Any work in the public right of way may require an excavation permit and/or a private improvement agreement. Check with Permits and Codes (Steve Tineo @ 791-5100) for additional information. 36. According to D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.3. and D.S. 3-01.4.4.F. 10-year flow has to be completely conveyed under sidewalks when the runoff crosses any sidewalk/walkway. This also applies to roof drainage. Demonstrate compliance with this requirement. 37. Additional construction details will be required on the Grading Plan. 38. Show on the trash enclosure detail that the provided minimum depth is 10'. 39. Revise the Development Plan in accordance with the Drainage Report revisions. Landscape Plan: 1. Demonstrate that the proposed landscaping will not conflict with the retention/detention basin maintenance access ramp and inlet and outlet structures. 2. Demonstrate compliance with water harvesting requirements. 3. It appears that the sight visibility triangle areas are proposed to be landscaped heavily. For safety reasons, ensure, on the Landscape Plan, that either plants are not proposed within the existing and future sight visibility triangles, or the plants must comply with the requirements of Development Standard 3-01.5.1.A.1. at all times. Show on the Landscape Plans existing and future sight visibility triangles and demonstrate compliance with "no obstruction" requirement.

Ortiz PE, Traffic Engineer Resubmittal Required: Traffic Engineering does not recommend approval of the Development Plan; therefore a revised Development Plan is required for re-submittal. The following items must be revised or added to the development plan. 1. Include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed. 2. Provide right of way dimensions along Golf Links on sheets 4 & 5 to confirm compliance. 3. Call out curb return radii's on all driveways along Houghton Road. 4. Provide lane width for proposed right-hand turn lane along Golf Links. 5. Consider providing typical cross-sections of roadway/driveways throughout the project. 6. Provide the Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) Category III as required by rezoning condition 8 as shown on the Development plan. 7. A meeting maybe in order to discuss possible vehicular conflicts created by the existing acceleration/merge lane (along Houghton in the southbound direction as motorists turn right off of Golf Links) and the proposed right turn lane into this development along Houghton. The Traffic Impact Analysis should discuss this issue and if possible provide recommendations for minimizing this conflict. 8. Along Golf Links the proposed right turn/decel lane could create vehicular conflicts with exiting motorists from this development (using the right turn lane as an acceleration lane) with motorists decelerating off of Golf Links to enter this development, therefore provide a individual right turn lanes for each driveway. 9. Is a right turn lane warranted for the most western driveway entering the development off of Golf Links? Address whether a right turn lane is warranted in the TIA 10. A private improvement agreement (PIA) will be necessary for the proposed work to be performed within the Right-of-way. An approved tentative plat is required prior to applying for a PIA. Contact the PIA Coordinator for additional PIA information at 791-5550 ext. 1107. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 791-4259 x76730 or Jose.Ortiz@tucsonaz.gov |
| 05/07/2007 | ANDY VERA | ENV SVCS | REVIEW | Denied | 1. Safe and adequate access and vehicle maneuverability must be provided within each refuse enclosure service area. Per DS section 6-01.4.0 a. Enclosure by building #2 does not work because the service vehicle will have to back into the right of way in order to clear the enclosure area and enter into its next forward motion. Recommend postioning the enclosure further back or east far enough to allow service vehicle to back up and perform the necessary left turn to proceed south onto PAAL. This will eliminate backing into street. b. Enclosure by building #3 demonstrates that the approach is in conflict with the loading zone. c. Enclosure by building #9 is in conflict with parking spaces when service vehicle is required to back away from the enclosure . Need to provide a 14ft X 40FT approach starting at the face of the enclosure gates if only capable of opening to 90 degrees. If gates are designed to open to 180 degrees then the current approach will work. 2. Single and Double enclosure gates, should be mounted at the face of the wall. This will ensure that the required 10ft inside clear between the rear wall protector and the front gate is provided. Per DS 6-01.4.1.B. Recommend designing gates so that they open to a minimum of 180 degrees. 3. Gates must be designed so that they can be secured in the open postion. Per DS 6-01.4.2.4. Recommend including in enclosure detail on sheet 2, additonal 1" dia. galvanized pipe for securing gates in the open postion. Must include and demonstrate for both single and double enclosures. Make all necessary corrections and include with resubmittal. |
