Mendez Director June 22, 2007 Sam Elters State Engineer Ms. Patricia Gehlen, CDRC Manager Development Services Department City of Tucson 201 N. Stone Ave. Tucson, AZ 85701 Re: SR 77 (Oracle Road) and Roger Road (northeast quadrant) Catalina View Center, Development Plan D07-0025 Dear Ms. Gehlen: Your submittal for the proposed development on the east side of SR 77 (Oracle Road) north of Roger Road has been reviewed and the following comments are offered: We concur with the installation of a right-turn lane on Oracle Road along the site. The new right-turn lane will be 14 feet wide (12-foot lane and 2-foot gutter), measured from the solid white lane line to the face of curb. In addition, we are requiring 5 feet of additional pavement between the right-turn lane and the adjacent through lane. Also, the width of the adjacent through lane shall be 12 feet. Sun Tran should be contacted regarding the location of the current bus stop. There are currently five existing driveways on Oracle Road serving the site. Three of the existing driveways on Oracle Road will be eliminated, and two driveways will continue to serve the development as shown in the June 7, 2007, Traffic Impact Analysis for the Catalina View Center and as shown on the Development Plan for the site. The proposed southern-most driveway on Oracle Road will allow right-in/right-out movements only. The driveway will be 30 feet wide with 35-foot radii. The existing driveway on Oracle Road opposite a median opening with a traffic island will continue to provide right-in/right-out/left-in access to the site. The driveway will be 35 feet wide with 35-foot radii. Ms. Patricia Gehlen June 22, 2007 Page 2 The existing light poles on Oracle Road along the site will need to be relocated to accommodate the new right-turn lane. The signal poles and control cabinet at the northeast corner of the Oracle Road/Roger Road intersection need to be relocated as well. Also, we require all gas and fluid utilities to be moved outside the pavement. We concur with the installation of sidewalk along Oracle Road. Developer to provide sidewalk ramps at the driveways to meet A.D.A. (American with Disabilities Act) requirements. The June 7, 2007, Traffic Impact Analysis for the Catalina View Center by Curtis Lueck and Associates recommends protected left-turn signal phasing for east- and westbound traffic at the Oracle Road/Roger Road intersection. The report shows that the traffic volume and delay for future conditions will meet the left-turn phasing criteria as set forth in the ADOT Traffic Engineering Policies, Guidelines and Procedures Manual, Section 612, “Left Turn Signal Phasing”. However, we will require five copies of a stand-alone Left-turn Signal Phasing Study for the intersection. The existing southbound left-turn lane at the Oracle Road/Roger Road intersection will need to be lengthened in order to accommodate the anticipated left-turn traffic volume. The current storage length is only 100 feet. Extension of the left-turn lane will help to maintain the safety and efficiency of traffic operations on Oracle Road. The existing median island bull nose on the north side of the Oracle Road/Roger Road intersection will need to be modified to allow the east/west pedestrian crosswalk to pass in front of the island. The crosswalks on the north- and east side of the intersection have to align with the new ADA ramp on the reconstructed northeast corner of the intersection. In order to accommodate the widening of Oracle Road along the site, additional right-of-way will be required. The additional right-of-way will be dedicated to ADOT by separate instrument. Construction plans for work in ADOT right-of-way, traffic signal plans for the modification of the traffic signal at the Oracle Road/Roger Road intersection and a signing and striping plan need to be submitted for our review. The developers/owners will be responsible for all costs associated with the roadway and intersection improvements within State right-of-way. Ms. Patricia Gehlen June 22, 2007 Page 3 We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the proposed Catalina View Center Development.

There is a price list on their web site at, http://www.azdot.gov/Inside_ADOT/Misc/Engineering_Records.asp Non-ADOT Standards – Use ADOT Standards if they are available. Any non ADOT Standard used in your design, such as MAG Standards, City Standards, or County Standards, will need to be shown in your plans. Plans Housekeeping – Sometimes plans become too busy and hard to read because of the contour lines on plans. It is recommended to turnoff the contour lines and show elevations, profiles and cross sections instead. Design plans need to be clear, concise and not cluttered. Do not show too many details on one sheet. Show general notes on separate sheets and plan notes on the same sheets. Show all details to construct your project; nothing should be left to the imagination. Benchmarks – Show all pertinent data relating to datum lines for your project design. Index – Provide plans index for your project. Quantities – Show plans quantities for your project. Centerline Control – Use ADOT construction centerline as the control line for your project. Typical Sections – Show typical section(s) for the entire length of the project from ADOT construction centerline to the right of way line for asymmetrical widening or from right of way line to right of way line for symmetrical widening as applicable. Give applicable stations of section(s). If the cross slope of the pavement changes due to a super elevation, provide a diagram with stations showing the changes in super elevation. Show a typical section as necessary for each change in the roadway width, beginning and ending of tapers, etc. On typical section(s), show the following information: all dimensions from ADOT construction centerline to existing edge pavement, to new edge of pavement, to ditch line and to right of way line; cross slope of pavement; slope ratio of cut/fill slope off edge of pavement; back slope ratio citing appropriate C Standard (C-02.10, 02.20 or 02.30 for the design your are using); and reference pavement structural sections used. If widening of the roadway requires restriping, a surface course will be needed for the entire width of roadway. Surface course generally matches what exists (Chip Seal Coat, AR-ACFC). Examples of Typical Sections can be found in Roadway Engineering Web Site under drafting guidelines at the following link: http://www.azdot.gov/highways/rdwyeng/roadwaydesign/DraftingGuidelines/index.asp. Chapter 300 of the ADOT Roadway Design Guide also shows typical sections. Pavement Structural Sections – Show pavement structural sections for each different pavement section of your design. Examples of different pavement section would be aggregate base course thickness changes, thickness of AC changes, changing from milling to just an AC overlay, etc. On the pavement structural sections show any milling, aggregate base course thickness, number and thickness of lifts for asphaltic concrete, tack coat between lifts and surface course. Generally this information can be obtained from the District Permits Office. Show type of AC mix, ADOT 406, ADOT 409 and/or ADOT 414. Any project over 1000 tons of AC will require ADOT 406 mix and specifications. Any project under 1000 tons of AC will require ADOT 409 mix and specifications. Any narrow strips of pavement 4’ or less in width, use ADOT 409. All chip seal coats use CRS-2P emulsion; the specifications for chip seal coat emulsion can be obtained from the District Permits Office. Examples of Pavement Structural Sections can be found in the ADOT Roadway Engineering Sections web link given in 11 above. Be sure to show all pavement structural sections in your plans. Rumble Strips – When pavement widening is to be done in an area where there are rumble strips, the rumble strip must be removed entirely either by milling to a depth of 2" or by sawcutting the full depth of the pavement and removing the shoulder. Recessed Pavement Markers – When pavement widening to create a left turn lane is to be done in an area where there are recessed pavement markers, the depression for the recessed pavement marker will need to be filled in a manner compatible with the pavement in the area. Check with the Permits Office to see what procedure is to be used. Slopes – In cases where there are improvements such as drainage ways or widening of facilities, or if the design is using variable slopes; provide cross sections to clarify design. Evaluate impacts of design to adjacent and underground features to assure design will work. Chapter 300 of the ADOT Roadway Design Guide shows typical sections and slope design criteria. Section 303.3 gives important guidance on side slope design criteria to follow. Back slopes with a slope ratio 2.5:1 to 3:1 will require erosion control mats after seeding. Slopes 1.5:1 to 2.5:1 will require positive protection such as shotcrete. Slopes steeper than 1.5:1 will require a retaining wall. Show a detail for any slope 3:1 or steeper, which addresses the above. . Environmental – Submit an environmental clearance certification from a qualified firm for the area disturbed in ADOT right of way. Guidelines will be given to you with your permit application. Please do not submit the environmental clearance documentation. SWPPP – If your total project (onsite & offsite) disturbs one acre or more, you are required to submit a SWPPP with BMPs that meet ADEQ and ADOT requirements. Requirements will be given to you with your permit application. The following are links to the ADOT Storm Water Program web site which has many documents and manuals to assist you in developing a SWPPP, including an Erosion Pollution Control Manual and SWPPP template: http://www.azdot.gov/adot_and/storm_water/stormwater.asp#three http://www.azdot.gov/adot_and/storm_water/Erosion_Pollution_Control_Manual.asp. At a minimum, soil stabilization by seeding all disturbed areas is required and 70% background growth reestablished from the seeding before the project is accepted by ADOT. This method could possibly take two years in arid areas depending upon the rain. In the mean time, the permittee is still required to fill out the monthly SWPPP inspection forms and maintain the SWPPP devices until the growth is established. In lieu of the seeding, rock material meeting ADOT Standard Specification section 803 may be placed on the disturbed soil. By placing the material, the permittee has fulfilled ADEQ and ADOT requirements for soil stabilization. However, with rock material, the permittee is required to maintain all areas where it is placed. This can be accomplished by incorporating the maintenance in the CC&Rs of the development. If there is less than one acre of disturbance in ADOT right-of-way, but the total disturbance due to the development is one acre or greater, then the disturbance in ADOT right-of-way shall be shown in the SWPPP for the development and noted on the plans submitted to ADOT. Geometrics – Show roadway geometric data on your plans. Right-of-Way – Dedication of additional right of way may be needed if there is not enough right of way to accommodate required improvements and still allow ADOT the buffer necessary to maintain the road. Improvements that require the dedication of right of way may include clearance from toe of fill slope to right-of-way line (10’ is minimum clearance, see section 303.6 of the Roadway Design Guidelines), drainage issues and clear zone requirements. Clear Zone requirements can be found in the Arizona Department of Transportation Traffic Control Design Guidelines 2003 at the following website. http://www.azdot.gov/highways/traffic/Standards.asp. Clear Zone requirements cannot be changed, so it is important to use this resource. If your project is in a City with limited Right of Way and sidewalk is required, ADOT will need 5’ of Right of Way for signing outside the edge of Sidewalk. If new Right of Way is required, ADOT will need a letter stating the new right of way will be dedicated to ADOT with Legal Description before a permit will be issued, and the right of way must be dedicated before the permit work is accepted and the permit is closed. Show existing and new right of way on the Plans. Any existing easements affecting this property will need to be extinguished before ADOT will accept the new right-of-way. Roadway Stationing – Show ADOT roadway stationing for beginning and ending of tapers, intersections and all existing features like drainage pipes, curb openings for drainage, existing driveways. Please review ADOT as-built plans to determine existing features. Show stations for all section corners and ¼ corners on your project. Dimensions – Show width dimensions on your roadway plan view on each sheet. Show widths for beginning and ending of tapers, at the beginning and ending of each plan sheet, to edge of old pavement, to the edge of new pavement and to right of way line. Distance to curb returns should also be noted. Review ADOT Standard Drawing to see where dimension line applies. Show right of way lines and all dimensions from the ADOT construction centerline, which can be found on ADOT as-built plans. Roadway Profile – Show profile for existing roadway and new edge of pavement. Driveways, Turnouts, Side Streets – Show profiles and typical sections for turnouts and side streets. Profile should extend at least 60 feet beyond ADOT right of way line. Review Construction Standard Drawing C-06.10 Sheets 1 and 2 and ADOT Roadway Design Guide Section 404.3 for information on driveways & turnouts in ADOT right of way. Use this information as a guideline for developing your plans. Intersection Sight Distance – All at grade intersections need to be reviewed for adequacy of sight distance. If there appears to be a potential problem with sight distance, additional data may need to be gathered. Consideration should be given for the modification to obstructions within the sight triangle. The location of the intersection on the vertical alignment is also an important factor. Show sight triangle on your plans and note any removal of obstructions. Follow ADOT Roadway Design Guide section 408.4 and 408.5 for sight distance determination. ADOT Permits in Area – Review permits issued in the project area that may impact your project. This information can be found in District Permits Office. Permit numbers are on as-built plans for the section of highway for your project. Utilities – any existing longitudinal utilities that will fall under new pavement will have to be relocated a minimum of 12 feet from edge of pavement, with few exceptions. There may be utilities in conflict with the new features of your design or there may be inadequate clearance between new feature and a utility. ADOT may require a letter of clearance from each utility company. Be sure to give utility companies a copy of your plans for review. Show all existing utilities on your plans with the appropriate legends. It may be necessary to show cross sections for utilities if conflicts exist. Any utilities placed under pavement should be sleeved. No valves or manholes will be allowed in any paved access. Permits for relocation or placement of new utilities must be taken out by the utility company that owns/will own the facility. Follow ADOT Guide for Accommodation Utilities, which is available at the following link: http://www.azdot.gov/Highways/utilities/pdf/guide_a.pdf. Drainage Analysis – If your design will impact existing drainage, a complete drainage analysis will be required. Handouts on drainage requirements will be given with your permit application. Retention Basins – Retention basins for developments are not allowed in ADOT right-of-way, and no portion of the basin shall be in the right-of-way. Culvert Information – Culverts in the right-of-way are allowed to be extended for roadway widening, but are not allowed to be attached to for drainage into or through a development. Culverts are required to be extended in lieu of placing guard rail to protect a hazard. Pipe References – Reference ADOT Construction Standards Drawings for pipe installation (C-13.10, C-13.15, C-13.20, C-13.25). Use the applicable standard for whichever type of pipe being installed, CMP or RCP. End of pipe shall be outside of the recovery area as shown in C-13.10. Drainage Information – Drainage channels may require a profile. Show all drainage flow Qs on your plans. Pipe Sizing – The minimum diameter of pipe approved by ADOT is 24” or oval equivalent to a 24” except that pipes connecting catch basins to storm sewer systems be 18 inch. Eighteen inch may be used where conflicts with utilities or other highway appurtenance features preclude the use of a 24” pipe. Pipes less than 18” shall not be used. Show the type of pipe used, the wall thickness and corrugation for a CMP (see Section 1010 of the ADOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction for guidance) or the class for an RCP. Follow ADOT Roadway Design Guidelines, Appendix A – Pipe Selection. Any pipe 36” in diameter or larger requires cement treated slurry bedding from the bottom of the pipe to the spring line. Rip Rap – Headwalls, pipe end sections and cut to fill sections will require dumped riprap over filter fabric as shown in Roadside Design Sections Rock Riprap/Rock Mulch BMP Details at: http://www.azdot.gov/Highways/RdwyEng/RoadsideDevelopment/details/Index.asp Other design details will also require dumped riprap over filter fabric. Show a cross section of the riprap area on the plans. Use high survivability filter fabric, meeting Standard Specification 1014-4.03, under any dumped riprap. Follow ADOT Roadway Design Guidelines section 613.3 for riprap design. Give gradation of dumped riprap. Thickness of riprap equals 2 x D50. See ADOT Hydraulics Manual (Draft Form) at the following web site: http://www.azdot.gov/Highways/RdwyEng/DrainageDesign/PDF/ADOT_HydraulicsManual_2006/ADOTHighwayDrainageDesignManual_Hydraulics.pdf Scuppers – If a scupper is used in your design, handrail will be required. However; ADOT does not have Standard Drawings for scuppers and hand rail. We have been approving MAG Standard Detail 206-1 for scuppers and Detail 145 for handrail. Show the detail for the scupper and the handrail on the plans, but use ADOT C-4.10 spillway in lieu of the MAG Standard spillway (Section C-C 206-1). Handrail shall be painted according to the requirements of Standard Specification 610-3.05 with the color of the top coat specified in the plans. Fence – Show existing fence lines and what will happen to fence. Retaining walls, block walls and wall foundations are not allowed on ADOT right-of-way. Walls shall not block historic drainage patterns. Guard Rail – If your design will impact a run of guard rail, the whole length of guard rail will have to be brought up to current design standards. Specify the type of end treatment to use and provide a detail for the end treatment pad per ADOT standards, which can be found at the following web link: http://www.azdot.gov/highways/rdwyeng/roadwaydesign/details/Index.asp. Specify the type of guard rail installation, type A or type B, according to standard drawing C-10.01 or C-10.02 and show a detail of it. . Follow ADOT Roadway Design Guide Section 305.8 to determine the length of need for the guard rail and submit the calculations for review. Air-Entrained Concrete – All concrete placed above 3000’ in elevation shall have air-entraining admixtures, which meet standard specification 1006-2.04 (B). The amount of entrained air in the concrete mixture shall not be less than four (4) percent and no more than seven (7) percent. If this specification applies to your project, place this specification on your plans. Saw Cutting – Widening existing pavement and curb removal will require saw cutting existing pavement full depth. Show this on the plans. Landscaping – Follow ADOT landscaping requirements if landscaping is requested to be placed on ADOT right-of-way. A landscape packet is available that gives specifics on landscaping in the right-of-way. For landscaping improvements at intersections or median openings, the use of low growth vegetation (no higher than 30 inches at full growth) is required within the sight triangle. Trees and shrubs at full growth shall not infringe in the sight triangle or overhang onto the roadway pavement. Concrete Headers – New turnouts without curb will require a concrete header 6” wide by 12” deep the length of the radius. Show it on your plans. Curb and Gutter - New curb and gutter installations will require Class 2 Aggregate Base from the top of subgrade as shown in ADOT Roadway Design Guide Figure 302.1. Show this treatment in the Typical Sections. Sidewalk Ramps – New turnouts with single curb or curb and gutter will require new sidewalk ramps. These ramps shall be per ADOT Construction Std. drawings C-5.30. In the Construction Standards Drawings there are 7 types of sidewalk ramps, so make sure the appropriate type is used. In most cases Type A will be used. Specify the type of truncated dome detectable warning strips to be placed on the ramp, how they are to be attached and give the manufactures names where they may be purchased. ADOT’s approved products list can be found at the following web link: http://www.azdot.gov/TPD/atrc/Pride/index.asp. Sidewalk IGA – An intergovernmental agreement is needed between a local government agency and ADOT for the maintenance of sidewalks whenever sidewalks are constructed on ADOT right-of-way. ADOT does not maintain sidewalks. This agreement shall be in place before sidewalks are constructed. Quality Control – Any permit work that requires the roadway to be widened, requires structures to be extended, or has more than 2,000 feet of trenching will require that the permittee provide quality control inspection according to the attached document. Traffic Information – ADOT Traffic Engineering Section’s web site has a considerable amount of information that will be useful when developing your plans.

ADOT will not pay the energy costs associated with development driven impacts. This agreement shall be in place before a permit is issued. Signing & Marking – All roadway-widening projects will require signing and striping plans. These plans should be on separate sheets, along with general notes for the signing and striping. Traffic Engineering Section requirements for Signing & Striping Plans: Dimension distances between all pavement markings. Label beginning and ending of all tapers. Use ADOT Stationing. Label all radii. Check that the signing/striping plans match all generations of the civil plans. Label beginning and end of project. Please give an ADOT station and an approximate Mile Post. Signing & Marking Notes – General Signing and Striping notes shall be something similar to the below: (Pavement Markings) All work to be done within the ADOT Right-of-Way shall conform to the current edition of the ADOT Signing and Marking Standard Drawings. It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that the final surface course is placed so that the striping is offset 1-foot clear of the construction joint, unless otherwise directed by the engineer. The dimensions shown to pavement striping are to the center of the striping or, in the case of double striping, to the center of the double striping. At the completion of the final pavement surface, centerlines, lane lines, edge lines, and the stop bar shall be striped with one application of standard reflectorized traffic paint at the location of the permanent striping. The paint shall have a maximum thickness of 10 mils wet (5 mils dry). The final striping shall be 60 mil, (0.060 inch) thick hot-sprayed thermoplastic reflectorized striping placed over the existing striping 30 days after completion of the final pavement surface, or as directed by the engineer. All other markings shall be applied at the same time. The final Stop Bar, Pavement Arrows, and “ONLY” legend shall be white 90 mil (0.090 inch) thick alkyd extruded thermoplastic reflectorized markings. The contractor shall clean the roadway surface to the satisfaction of the engineer, by sweeping and air-jet blowing, immediately prior to the placement of all pavement markings. The roadway surface shall be dry and the air and pavement marking temperatures shall not be less than 55 degree F for the placement of thermoplastic markings. All raised pavement markers shall have an abrasion resistant coating on the face of the prismatic reflectors and shall conform to the details of Std. Dwg. M-19. They shall be installed with a bituminous adhesive that is on the ADOT approved products list. Where raised pavement markers are placed between double yellow striping, they shall be centered in the 6-inch gap between lines. Where raised pavement markers are placed along solid striping, the nearest edge of each marker shall be offset 2 inches from the nearest edge of the striping. (If applicable) The contractor shall notify the engineer two weeks prior to the application of the final surface course to schedule a “No Passing Zone” survey by state forces. The “No Passing Zone” survey shall supersede the permanent pavement marking plans. The contractor shall not apply the pavement marking on the final pavement surface until the engineer approves the layout for the permanent pavement markings, including any adjustments based upon the “No Passing Zone” survey. The “No Passing Zone” crew may be reached at (602) 228-0889, (602) 228-2508, or (602) 228-4932. When stripe obliteration is necessary, it shall be accomplished by water blasting. If the existing surface is damaged due to the obliteration, a new surface course shall be placed as directed by ADOT. All raised pavement markers shall be installed so that the reflective face of each marker is facing the direction of traffic and is perpendicular to the direction of traffic flow. Three working days prior to final striping layout, please contact ADOT Tucson Regional Signing and Striping Section at 520-838-2828, Alex Arevalo or Xavier Casillas, to coordinate the layout inspection. (Signing) All signs shall be in compliance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), the ADOT Signing and Marking Standard Drawings, and the Traffic Engineering Manual of Approved Signs. The bottom of each sign shall be at least 7 feet above the nearest edge of pavement and at least 7 feet above the ground under the sign. The contractor shall install the signs so the nearest edge of corner of each sign is offset 12 feet from the nearest edge of pavement, except as otherwise indicated. All signs shall be fabricated of flat sheet aluminum with direct applied copy or silk-screened legend. All signs shall be installed on new square tube posts with foundations as indicated on Std. Dwg. S-1. All bolts used to install signing shall have hex heads, not slotted heads. The contractor shall use only cadmium-plated steel washers, not nylon washers, between each bolt head and the face of the sign panel. The retro reflective sheeting on all new signs, except new warning signs, shall meet the minimum criteria established for Type III sheeting in AASHTO M268. The retro reflective sheeting on all new warning signs shall meet the minimum criteria established for fluorescent yellow prismatic sheeting in accordance with the special provisions. The contractor shall preserve all roadway signs, sign supports, object markers, and milepost markers, and shall replace with new any signs, sign supports, and markers damaged as a result of the construction at the contractor’s expense. Existing signs not shown on the plans that do not need to be removed shall remain. If construction activities require the removal of signs, temporary signs shall be placed as near as possible to the previous location as directed by the engineer, unless otherwise specified in the plans, until new signs are installed. Three working days prior to final signing layout, please contact ADOT Tucson Regional Signing and Striping Section at 520-838-2828, Alex Arevalo or Xavier Casillas to coordinate the layout inspections. Signalization – For projects that have intersection signalization, review civil design plans to assure signals can be constructed as designed. Locations of signal poles need to be at their final location. Permittee provided quality control inspection is required. Follow attached ADOT PGP 614 and 635 for the development and approval of traffic signal plans. These policies are available at: http://www.azdot.gov/highways/traffic/PGP.asp. Signalization Plans – Please provide the below information on your signal and lighting plans: Show all utilities on the signal and lighting plan sheet(s). For overhead utilities, do not just show the pole line but instead indicate the full width of the crossarm span. For new construction - Include Emergency Vehicle Pre-emption (EVP) conductors in the plan notes, conductor schedule and project plans. For reconstruction – Address any changes regarding EVP in the plan notes, conductor schedule and project plans. Video detection shall be installed at all ADOT signaled intersections. LED pedestrian indication to be side-by-side MAN / HAND with (filled) MAN and HAND. Install two conduit runs, for example (2 – 3’’ PVC C.) at each roadway crossing. Do not use 8’’ lens size in signal heads. Use only 12’’ lens. Use type “G” signal heads as per T.S. 8-2. No “Q” heads are to be used as per T.S. 8-3. Prior to drilling any holes for signals mounts, check for any possible conflicts of signals mounts & back plates, with signal mast arms. Also check for proper visibility of signal heads and aim accordingly to traffic. (Put a note on the plans) Do not center the signal heads over lane lines. For safety of maintenance personnel center signals heads between the lane lines. At skewed intersections, mast arms are also to be perpendicular to the roadway. All IMSA 20 conductor cable shall be un-spliced between the control cabinet and each Pole. (Put a note on the plans) The green insulation shall be removed from the No. 8 THW (green) Bond conductor in each pull box. (Put a note on the plans) A crimp connection shall be used for splicing No. 8 THW (white) signal common conductors at pull boxes. (Put a note on the plans) No signal equipment shall be installed on aluminum poles. Tucson Area, use ASC-2 signal controllers only. The electrical service shall be located at the same intersection corner as the control cabinet. |

| 07/27/2007 | HEATHER THRALL | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | CDRC TRANSMITTAL TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office FROM: Heather Thrall Senior Planner PROJECT: D07-0025 Catalina View Center - Target, Michaels 4040 N. Oracle, C-2 TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 27, 2007 DUE DATE: July 9, 2007 COMMENTS: Add D07-0025 to the title block area of each sheet. (explain what is S-83-2 as noted?) 1. 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 June 10, 2008. 2. This plan was reviewed for compliance with the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard Institute (ANSI), and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). The content of this plan was reviewed per requirements of DS 2-05. In addition, the proposed project is a Large Retail Establishment (LRE) and was approved in concept per a preliminary development plan and conditions under Special Exception Case SE-07-01. Those conditions are outlined in ordinance 10400, effective June 1, 2007. This project was also reviewed for compliance with those conditions. 3. Per DS 2-05.2.1.C, enlarge lettering within the sheet index map on sheet 1 to 12 point. 4. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.3, please remove the reference in note 3 indicating the proposed use is Food and Beverage Sales, Large Retail Establishment. The use is General Merchandise Sales, Large Retail Establishment - with an allowance of less than 10% of the total GFA allowed for food and beverage sales display area. 5. Per DS 2-05.2.2.B.10, please add to note 5 on sheet 1 that "this project is also designed to meet the Gateway Corridor Zone overlay, LUC 2.8.4". 6. Per DS 2-02.2.3.B, please check to ensure all easements are shown on the plan - ensure they are shown graphically, with type of easement and docket and page noted. Should the easement be proposed for abandonment, include the words "Docket ____/page _____" next to that easement so the recording data can be placed next to it. 7. With regards to cross -access and/or cross parking easements between unrelated property to the north of overall project, the Michael's lot, the Target lot, and the Baskin Robbin's lot at Roger/Oracle - please show docket___/page_____ . 8. Per DS 2-05.2.3.C, regarding right of way: A) public right of way dedications for the city to add to Roger Road are done through the Real Estate Division. Please contact their office, and provide a docket and page notation next to the right of way dedication note for future recordation reference. B) Also provide a docket/page line next to the notation that further dedication is proposed to Oracle Road per ADOT. C) Dimension from Centerlines to Curbs, D) dimension curbs to property lines. 9. Per DS 2-05.2.4.A, lot split process: A) sheet 6 shows the site is to go through a lot split process to relocate an existing lot line (between lots 1 and 3 labeled on the plan) and then split off a 3rd lot (labeled as lot 2 on the plan). Further research is needed to determine what process is required to conduct the lot split and relocation of the lot line. At this time, staff is being preliminarily advised that a lot split process may be considered, however, the Zoning Administrator has made a recent determination regarding splits that could require this project to undergo a tentative and final plat for the split process given the size of the site. Please contact me directly to make an appointment to discuss the lot split matter (my contact information is at the end of this review.) 10. Per DS 2-05.2.4.B, correct zoning class across Roger to SE is R-2, not R-3 zoning. 11. Per DS 2-05.2.4.C, with regards to phasing: A) In the demolition plans, a portion of the existing building on the Baskin-Robbin's lot is to be removed. What appears to be conflicting is how that Baskin Robbin's site is going to be considered to be phase 1 as EXISTING, when the parking and PAAL configurations must change to accommodate the needs of the Baskin Robbins development to stand alone during the Target construction. Please clarify on the plans, what (building area only?) is existing/to remain during construction, and what is going to be changed. (i.e. cloud, call out, etc. Please dimension all elements). B) how is the Baskin Robbin's site accessed during the construction of the Target store? Please clarify if direct access off Roger or Oracle will be provided during the construction of Target to the lot - or if cross-access is going to be provided through the Target site. Note that all access/parking must meet code. C) I see phase 1 calculations, however, I do not see phase 2 calculations for parking, loading, FAR, etc. 12. Per DS 2-05.2.4.D.3, regarding PAALs A) dimension all PAALs on the south side of the site, along entry, at curves, and at Baskin-Robbin's site B) dimension PAALs on the Baskin - Robbins site both phase 1 and 2 - and show that a minimum of 24' will be kept for PAAL width on the Baskin- Robbins site during construction of the Target (address why there is a "jog" in the PAAL width) C) provide dimension for PAAL on Baskin Robbins site - between loading zone and curb. Minimum 24' width required. 13. Per DS 2-05.5.4.I, regarding building setbacks: A) I acknowledge the setbacks for the Target building at the north and the east meet the requirements of the Special Exception case B) The building setback required for the Target at the south lot line, off Roger Road, is per LUC 3.2.6.5.B, - THE GREATER OF 21 or the HEIGHT of the exterior building wall from the back of the future curb of Roger. The plan has a note for the garden center area that indicates a max height of 40', which would not be possible if the building is only 34' from the future curb location. Please specify the building wall height - from grade to the top of the wall - for the Target store at the south wall of the garden center. Ensure the setback is met, or a variance is required. C) Darken - or make more prominent - the future curb for Roger D) Darken - or make more prominent - the future curb for Oracle E) I acknowledge the setback for the Michael's store, 1.5 x the height of the exterior building wall against R-2 zoning to the north, meets this requirement given the maximum height of the building noted at 35'. F) The buildings shown on the Baskin Robbins site should have setbacks listed from the back of future curb for both Roger and Oracle at a ratio of THE GREATER OF 21' or the HEIGHT of the exterior building wall. 14. Per DS 2-05.2.4.K, regarding on site pedestrian circulation: A) Per SE-07-01, designated pedestrian crossings for PAALs shall be constructed of brick, concrete pavers, scored patterned color concrete or similar textured material. Provide such surfacing for the crosswalk north of Michael's AND for the crosswalk leading from the Target entrance to Oracle. B) Per SE-07-01, a minimum 8' wide pedestrian system must connect from Oracle to the building entrances on the site - including up to Michael's. Clarify the width of the pedestrian pathway in front of Target that leads north to Michael's. C) Dimension width of all sidewalks D) Provide a sidewalk between the building and a PAAL along it - ( along east side of building 3 and north side of building 3 E) Per DS 2-08.3.1, a 5' wide pedestrian refuge area, inclusive of a 4' wide sidewalk, is required between a building and an adjacent PAAL. However, if the area (behind Target to the east) is going to predominantly be used by employees, the pedestrian refuge area can be striped instead. Please provide a 5' wide striped area along the north and east side of the Target building. F) Clarify where sidewalks are provided throughout parking lot - some of the possible sidewalks could be planters? - and there aren't any ramps at the ends of them G) Specify if the sidewalks are raised from grade/asphalt or in flush - keynote H) Provide ramps where applicable at the end of the sidewalks where transitioning to a different grade with vehicular use area I) Provide truncated domes (early warning devices) on ramps or on areas of sidewalks where transitioning from pedestrian to vehicular use area - keynote J) Per DS 2-08.4.1- a physical separation is required between a vehicular use area and a pedestrian sidewalk. The rolling curb provided along the frontage of Target promotes vehicular access rather than protecting the sidewalk - revise to vertical curbing. 15. Per DS 2-05.2.4.M & N: with regards to structures: A) provide square footage of smaller triangular structure at corner of Oracle/Roger B) dimension building footprints of all buildings for issuance of permits/records C) clarify all building heights points of measurement - from grade to top of flat roof and then from parapet? Or to ridge peak with midpoint of ridge? Specify type of roof. D) Provide a Floor Area Ratio calculation for each phase (this site functions as one, a FAR is not requested for each individual lot). E) Please show any roof overhangs with a dashed line and dimensioned, with vertical clearance to sidewalks F) Please clarify location of all building entrances G) Clarify what the purpose of these pillars are - and height? Are they roofed? Note that these pillars may be subject to setback criteria - depending upon how they are used/designed.

| 08/06/2007 | PATRICIA GILBERT | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | TO: Patricia Gehlen; CDRC Coordinator DATE: August 6, 2007 SUBJECT: Engineering review of the Catalina View Center Development Plan. The activity number is D07-0025. SUMMARY: The Development Plan and Drainage Report were received by Engineering on June 11th, 2007. Engineering has reviewed the received items and does not recommend approval of the Development Plan or the Drainage Report. RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: DEVELOPMENT PLAN, DRAINAGE REPORT GENERAL COMMENTS 1. The Drainage Report was reviewed for Development Plan purposes only. 2. A Grading Plan and Permit will be required. Proposed grading in excess of 5,000 yards is designated "engineered grading" and a soils engineering report is required with the Grading Plan submittal. Development Standards 11-01.4.1.C. The Soils Report must also address the requirements detailed in the Standards Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management, SMDDFM, 14.2.6. 3. Proposed developments exceeding 1 acre of disturbance are subject to AzPDES requirements. 4. Proposed fills in excess of two feet above existing grade at any location in the outer one hundred feet of the developing site adjacent to residentially zoned property require the procedure outlined in Development Standards 11-01.8.1. This process must be complete prior to Grading Plan approval. 5. Once the Development Plan is approved, a site card with two copies of the CDRC approved Development Plan will need to be walked through for DSD site plan approval by the following sections; Fire, Zoning, Handi-cap, Engineering, and Landscape/NPPO. No fees are involved in re-stamping the Development Plan as an approved site plan. The next submittal must address the following items: DEVELOPMENT PLAN 1. Provide the development plan case number D07-0025 in the lower right hand corner of all sheets. DS 2-05.2.2. 2. Assure all easements shall be drawn on the plan. The recordation information, location, width, and purpose of all easements on site will be stated. Blanket easements should be listed in the notes, together with recordation data and their proposed status. Should an easement not be in use and be proposed for vacation or have been abandoned, so indicate. However, should the easement be in conflict with any proposed building location, vacation of the easement is to occur prior to issuance of permits. Revise the plan appropriately. DS 2-05.2.3.B. 3. Indicate the width of the sidewalk within the ROW along Oracle Road Road (keynote 2 and 16). DS 2-05.2.3.C. 4. Indicate in keynote 2 if the sidewalk is existing or proposed. 5. Show on sheets 8 and 9 the existing storm drain facilities on and adjacent to the site. DS 2-05.2.3.F. 6. Indicate on sheets 4 and 8 the existing electric power poles are to remain. DS 2-05.2.3.G. 7. Clarify how the Baskin Robbins will stand alone during the Target construction. How will the Baskin Robbin's site be accessed? Pedestrian circulation? See Zoning's comment 11. DS 2-05.2.4.C. 8. Dimension from the street centerline of Oracle and Roger Road to the future curb and sidewalk. Label accordingly. DS 2-05.2.4.D.1. 9. Is there a proposed median in Roger Road? It is not clear why a pedestrian SVT has been utilized for the far side SVT. Clarify in the response letter. If a median is proposed show on the plan view. If the pedestrian SVT is a mistake provide the correct SVT. DS 3-01.5.0. 10. There is a dimension shown within Roger Road of 80' labeled future ROW. Roger Road has a full future ROW width of 100'. Clarify in the response letter why this dimension has been provided. Is it a typo? Clarify and revise the plan appropriately. 11. Provide more PAAL dimensions for the south side of the parking lot for Target and for phase 1 and 2 for the Baskin Robbin's. A 24' PAAL width must be maintained for both phases of the Baskin Robbin's. DS 2-05.2.4.D.3. 12. Provide signage at the east access point along Roger Road that this access is for the Fire Department only. It must be clear to the public the access point is for fire trucks only. 13. Per SE-07-01, a minimum 8' wide pedestrian system must connect from Oracle to the building entrances on the site - including up to Michael's. Clarify the width of the pedestrian pathway in front of Target that leads north to Michael's. Provide dimensions. 14. 4' sidewalk is required adjacent and parallel to any PAAL on the side where buildings are located. Provide a sidewalk between the building and a PAAL along the east side and north side of building 3. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1. 15. At least one (1) sidewalk will be provided to a project from each street on which the project has frontage. On sheet 5, adjacent to the southwest corner of the Target Garden Center it appears there is a sidewalk or ramp that leads to the sidewalk along Roger Road. It is not clear if the intent is to provide pedestrian circulation. Call out on the plan view and dimension. DS 2-08.04. 16. Per Special Exception condition 9 a minimum 8' wide pedestrian system shall connect from building 3 to the Target store. This has not been provided. Revise the development plan to show a minimum 8' wide pedestrian system from building 3 to Target. 17. A physical separation is required between a vehicular use area and a pedestrian sidewalk. The rolling curb provided along the frontage of Target promotes vehicular access. Revise the rolled curbing to vertical curbing (keynote 30). DS 2-08.4.1. 18. A 5' sidewalk is required per Special Exception condition 9 along the north property line leading to the apartment complex on the northeast side. Show on the plan how the public will access the sidewalk through the wall. Is there a gate? Clarify intent and/or revise/label the plan appropriately. 19. Indicate in keynote 5 to include the verbiage, "with truncated domes." 20. It is not clear if the sidewalks provided throughout the PAAL are flush with the asphalt or if there is a grade separation. See Zoning's Comment 14. Clarify on the plan view. 21. It appears there is a back up spur at the south east corner of the Target building. Is this a back spur? A loading space? Clarify on the plan view. If this is a loading space ensure vehicular maneuverability. 22. Provide the docket and Page for the 30' cross access easement to the businesses to the north. DS 2-05.2.4.G. 23. Sheets 8 and 9 show a 10' wall along the east boundary. Sheets 4 and 5 show an 8' wall. All the sheets within the development plan package must match. Revise accordingly. 24. The specific maintenance notes specified in the Standards Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management, SMDDFM, 14.3 must be included on the Development Plan. 25. Place a note on the plan, "All roof downspouts shall be routed under any adjacent sidewalk". Sidewalks must be flood free for up to the ten year event. DS 2-08.4.1.E 26. Show within the site boundaries the existing flows for concentration point 1, 2 and 3 found in the drainage report. Indicate the flow is existing. DS 2-05.2.4.H.7., SMFMDD 2.3.1.4.C.4. 27. Show the existing 100 year floodplain limits with the water surface elevations on sheet 8 and 9 that is provided on figure 4 found in the drainage report. Provide the datum. DS 2-05.2.4.H.6., SMFMDD 2.3.1.4.C.1. 28. Sheet 8 and 9 show for the proposed east wall, the wall opening dimensions at 8" x 32", 48" on center. The drainage report states the wall openings will be 6" x 16" at 42" on center. Both documents must match. Revise the documents accordingly. DS 2-05.2.4.H.3. 29. Be advised that this project is within a City of Tucson Regulatory Flood Hazard Area and is required to provide the general notes found in Development Standard 2-05.2.2C.2. on the plan. 30. All flood hazard areas should provide a flowage or drainage easement (public or private). If the drainage/flowage easement is proposed to be public the City Engineer must approve the easement. SMDDFM 2.3.1.4.C.7. 31. Parking is permitted in floodplains where the WSE does not exceed two feet in depth and WSE can not exceed one foot where overnight parking is provided. The plan must clearly indicate depth of stormwater in a 100-year event. Any parking lot subject to flooding shall have a prominent sign at each entrance to the parking area. If applicable refer to SMDDFM 12.3.1.3. for required verbiage and revise the plan if appropriate. DRAINAGE REPORT COMMENTS 1. Sheet 8 and 9 show for the proposed east wall, the wall opening dimensions at 8" x 32", 48" on center. The drainage report states the wall openings will be 6" x 16" at 42" on center. Both documents must match. Revise the documents accordingly. DS 2-05.2.4.H.3. 2. Provide the datum for the established water surface elevations listed in table 6 and shown on figure 6. Also reference the datum for the proposed finished floor elevations in Section 2.7.1. Finished Floor Elevations. 3. The grading plan (sheet 8 and 9) shows in front of the Target a 12" CMP and 24"CMP connected to the proposed 48" CMP pipe. However figure 6 does not show the 12" CMP and 24"CMP connected to the 48" CMP pipe and Section 2.7 Developed Hydrology does not provide discussion. Both documents must match. Revise the Drainage report to show the 12" CMP and 24" CMP connection to the 48 " pipe with supporting discussion in Section 2.7 Developed Hydrology. 4. In addition to the above comment the 4th paragraph on page 14 discusses the 48" pipe will be concrete. Will the 48" pipe be concrete or metal? Clarify and revise all documents to be consistent. 5. There is approximately a 2' difference between the 48" CMP and the invert of the 18" CMP. Discuss in the drainage report how the 2' stagnant water is disposed of. Provide an exit elevation at the street for the 18" CMP. It is not clear on the developed hydrology map how the drainage is working in the pipe system. Provide discussion in report. 6. Parking is permitted in floodplains where the WSE does not exceed two feet in depth and WSE can not exceed one foot where overnight parking is provided. It appears that the proposed development could exceed 1' of water in a 100-year event. Any parking lot subject to flooding shall have a prominent sign at each entrance to the parking area. If applicable refer to SMDDFM 12.3.1.3. for required verbiage and revise the plan if appropriate. 7. Provide freeboard calculations for the north and south channel. SMDDFM 8.5.1.4. 8. Provide a vertical barrier for both channels for safety purposes. 9. Per SMDDRM, 2.3.1.6.C., a very detailed Detention/Retention Basin Maintenance Checklist and Schedule shall be provided by an Arizona Registered Professional Civil Engineer, which will be followed by anyone performing scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on behalf of the owner(s). A maintenance checklist and schedule shall be provided in the drainage report in effort to clearly communicate the responsibilities involved by the owner for proper maintenance of retention basins. Include a detailed retention basin maintenance checklist and schedule in the drainage report. |
