5. Please add to note on sheet 2 of 5 that project is designed to meet the overlay zone criteria of 2.8.4, Gateway Corridor Zone and 2.8.5, Airport Environs Zone (AEZ).
DS 2-05.2.2.B.10

6. Please revise proposed use to "general merchandise sales subject to 3.5.9.2.A" and specify the type of commercial use to be provided in phase 2. If phase 2 is the same use as phase 1 (general merchandise sales) then state that as proposed use. The commercial services use group has many different uses with many different parking requirements. Please be specific. Staff is continuing this review utilizing criteria required for general merchandise sales. If proposed uses require different parking calculations additional comments may be generated upon resubmittal of development plan.

7. As a general note list the area of the site by square footage and acreage.

Dev. Plan - 1st Submittal
D07-030

The proposed sewer collection lines for the above-referenced project have been reviewed on behalf of the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and the Pima County Wastewater Management Department (PCWMD). This review letter may contain comments pertaining to the concerns of either Department. The following comments are offered for your use.

1. Obtain a letter from the PCWMD's Development Services Section, written within the past 90 days, stating that treatment and conveyance system capacity for the project is available in the downstream public sewerage system and provide a copy of that letter to this office. The required form to request such a letter may be found at:

http://www.pima.gov/wwm/forms/docs/CapResponseRequest.pdf.

The development plan for this project cannot be approved until a copy of this letter has been received by this office.

2. Show the jurisdiction's case number, D07-030, in or near the title block of each sheet. This case number should be shown larger and bolder than any associated cross-reference numbers.

3. Sheet 1: Show the public and private sewer lines using different line-types, so that they can readily be distinguished from each other. Also, show and describe examples of these different linetypes in the legend on Sheet 1.

4. Sheet 3: Sewer directional flow arrows are missing.

5. Sheet 3: The IMS#'s are missing for the existing public manholes along Nogales Hwy and Valencia Rd.. The sewer plan #'s are also missing. Also the existing sewer line show on plan is very hard to discern.

6. Sheet 3: The existing sewer lines and manholes should be marked as public and the pipe size should be clearly shown.

7. Sheet 3: The existing public sewer should be shown running north thru the intersection and running along Valencia north of the property.

8. Sheet 3: Both the rim and invert elevations should be shown for the cleanouts on site. The cleanouts should also be marked sequentially.

9. Sheet 3: The inverts should have a 2' drop at 2% over 100' for the sewer segment running along the east edge of property. The 4" private sewer line running from the public sewer and to the store should be marked as private BCS.

10. Sheet 3: The BCS should be a minimum of 2% slope for the entirety of its length.

This office 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.

Pima County Code Title 13.20.030.A.2 requires that a wastewater review fee be paid for each submittal of the development plan. The fee for the first submittal is $166 plus $50 per sheet. For the second submittal, the review fee is $50 per sheet. For all subsequent submittals, the review fee is $39 per sheet.

The next submittal of this project will be the second (2nd) submittal. A check for the review fee of this submittal in the amount of $100.00 (made out to PIMA COUNTY TREASURER) must accompany the revised set of blue lines and response letter.

If the number of sheets changes, please adjust the review fee accordingly.

If you have any questions regarding the above-mentioned comments, please contact me.

Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the Development Plan at this time. The Drainage Statement was reviewed for Development Plan purposes only. The following items need to be addressed:


DRAINAGE STATEMENT: All Drainage Statements and reports submitted to the City of Tucson must follow the requirements outlined within the City of Tucson Development Standards Sections 10-01 and 10-02. These standards can be accessed online at http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/DevStandsTOC.pdf.

1) Revise Section 5.0 and all hydrology calculations within the Drainage Statement to meet the minimum requirements outlined within DS Sec.10-02.4.2. The hydrology sheets must show that the areally reduced 100-year, one-hour rainfall depth from Table 4.1 is being used for all calculations. Refer to steps 1-19 within this section for determination of hydrology calculations. If the 2-hour storm event is being used for the hydrology calculations the minimum rainfall depth would be 3.42 inches (100-year return interval within a 1.0 or less square mile area is equal to a rainfall depth of 3.0 inches times a multiplication factor of 1.14 for the 2-hour storm would give you 3.42 inches), revise.

2) Revise the discussion within the Drainage Statement to include verbiage that the subject parcel is located within a balanced basin per the Balanced and Critical Basin Maps of Pima County and the City of Tucson. Per DS Sec.10-1.1.4 it is the policy that stormwater detention/retention facilities be incorporated within all new development to ensure that, at a minimum, the post development 2-, 10- and 100-year peak discharges from the site will not exceed the predevelopment values. Per Section 5.0 it is understood that the design is retaining all onsite flows, which would satisfy this requirement, however a balanced basin discussion is needed that state the minimum requirements have been met.

3) Dry wells are highly discouraged due to substantial drywell failure within the City of Tucson. Revise the Drainage Statement to include discussion on all requirements within DS 10-01.3.5.5 and 10-02.14.5 (1-10) for all systems, which utilize a method of subsurface disposal, i.e. dry wells and underground storage chambers. The Drainage Statement must meet or exceed the minimum criteria within both Development Standards.

4) The results of the required 30-foot-deep boring (DS Sec.10-02.14.2.6) should be examined to determine possible causes of slow infiltration or engineering measures needed to ensure infiltration. Threshold retention requirements may be waived in certain cases when stormwater retention is not feasible due to constraints imposed by subsurface conditions. In such cases detention criteria may be imposed in lieu of threshold retention requirements.

5) Floodplain Ordinance Tucson Code Section 26-10(c) states: The design of a detention or retention system, as reviewed and approved by the city engineer, shall include consideration of the degree of existing development within the basin and the capacity of the downstream drainage facilities. The systems will be designed with strict conformance to the public's health, safety and welfare. The effects of recharging storm runoff and possible pollution of the groundwater shall be evaluated for all systems employing infiltration systems, such as dry wells, in order to prevent contamination of the groundwater aquifer. The more technical requirements are listed in the City's drainage manual DS Sec.10-02.14.5. For review of a project we would need to see a Drainage Statement discussing and showing that the proposed dry well conforms to items 1-10 of this section.

6) Provide manufacture recommendations for maintenance of the underground stormwater retention/detention system. Revise the Drainage Statement and Development Plan to show that maintenance of the dry wells and underground stormwater retention/detention systems meets the recommendations of the manufacture.

7) Provide a geotechnical report that specifically assesses the proposed underground stormwater retention/detention system with dry wells beneath the pavement. The geotechnical report shall state whether the chambers are subject to collapsing or whether the pavement structure would be damaged from heavy traffic loads.

8) Provide references from the manufacture where these types of underground stormwater systems and dry wells have been used and their applicability to this project. All references should include use and maintenance of the underground stormwater system and how that system is achieving design criteria.

9) DS Sec. 3-01.4.4.F: Provide a revised Drainage Statement showing scupper calculations that demonstrate that the 10-year flood flow is contained under the sidewalk at all scupper concentration points. Provide details and dimensions in plan view for the scuppers on the proposed Development Plan.

30) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H: Dry wells are highly discouraged due to substantial drywell failure within the City of Tucson. Revise the Drainage Statement to include discussion on all requirements within DS 10-01.3.5.5 and 10-02.14.5 (1-10) for all systems, which utilize a method of subsurface disposal, i.e. dry wells and underground storage chambers. The Drainage Statement must meet or exceed the minimum criteria within both Development Standards.

31) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.H.3: The scuppers proposed under the sidewalk must be designed and constructed to convey the 10-year flood flow. Provide a revised Drainage Statement showing scupper calculations and design that demonstrate that the 10-year flood flow is contained under the sidewalk.

32) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.K: Provide a continuous pedestrian circulation path that connects all public access areas of the proposed buildings and the sidewalk areas located on Valencia Road and Nogales Hwy. Both buildings must also be connected with a pedestrian circulation path, provide a connection between the C-store and future building. Per DS Sec.2-08 sidewalks are to be flood free for all storm discharges of up to a ten (10) year flood, provide a revised Drainage Statement showing calculations, sizing and a detail for all sidewalk scuppers.

33) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.K: Revise the site plan to show the minimum distance of 5-feet for a pedestrian refuge that must be maintained between any enclosed structure and the proposed PAAL. The pedestrian circulation is required to be a minimum 4-foot wide and set back 1-foot from the PAAL and must be physically separated from the PAAL with curbing or 6" raised concrete sidewalk. Per DS 3-05.2.2.B.1 provide this circulation on the south side of both proposed buildings.

34) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.L: Revise the Development Plan and details to show the required 6-foot sidewalk along both abutting right-of-ways. Revise dimensions on Development Plan to show the proposed 6-foot wide sidewalk along Valencia Road and Nogales Hwy. Per the adopted Mayor and Counsel policy all sidewalks along MS&R right-of-ways for arterial and collector streets require 6-foot wide sidewalks. All sidewalks must comply with ADA accessibility requirements.

35) Revise the Development Plan to show the required conditions per rezoning condition #5. PAALs and pedestrian access is to be designed and located on the site to allow future connectivity with adjacent parcels to the west and south, verify.

36) DS Sec.2-05.2.4.T: Revise the detail dimensions for refuse containers, the enclosure must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between the steel bollards that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. The inside clear dimensions must be shown from the face of the wall protectors not to center. Refer to DS Sec.6-01.4.2 for specifications and requirements on access, placement of containers, bin enclosure and construction.
