| 01/26/2011 | GARY WITTWER | COT NON-DSD | TDOT | Approv-Cond | 1) Please provide response for prior Parks and Recreation comments below: I have reviewed the 12/1/10 Development Package for 795 W Congress Street for the Tucson Parks and Recreation Department and have the found the following items which need clarification or revision: 1) More information regarding grading in the landscape area north of the building is needed in order to evaluate the impact on the 'no compaction zone' around the Heritage Eucalyptus Tree in that area. 2) Any new pavement located within the 'no compaction zone' around the Heritage Eucalyptus tree will need to be permeable. This includes sidewalks. 3) The path and trails within the adjacent Santa Cruz River Park (West bank) are to be upgraded to meet current River Park and Anza Trail Standards. This includes a 12' wide asphalt-paved multi-use path and a 10' wide decomposed granite trail. 4) There is no indication of new landscaping or grading on the east side of the property where the building abuts the Santa Cruz River Park. It is assumed that the construction of the building as well as the relocation of the reclaimed waterline will affect the park and these areas need to be addressed on the landscape plan. 5) Sheet C3 indicates that the parking lot south of the building will drain into a 24" underground stormdrain pipe which appears to daylight into the Santa Cruz River Park. The plan will need to show how the developer intends to convey this water into the Santa Cruz River channel without it flowing over the River Park Path and trail or causing erosion.

" Construction site entrance and egress locations(s) including looking for evidence of sediment, debris, and other pollutants tacked offsite onto paved surfaces (e.g., streets, sidewalks, parking lots, etc.). " Municipal storm sewer systems, including streets, inlets, etc. which can be observed at ground level. Should focus on discharge (and potential for discharge) and accumulation of sediment, trash, and other pollutants. " Observation and assessment of accessible discharge locations to determine of erosion control BMP's are adequate and effective in reducing discharge of sediments. " For discharge points that are inaccessible, inspection of downstream locations should occur, where practicable. 49. Describe how inspections will be documented (NOTE: inspection reports must be added to the SWPPP in chronological order, Permit Part IV.H.4). Part IV.H.3.b. 50.

Part III.C.5. 62. Describe structural practices to divert flows from exposed soils, store flows or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site to the degree attainable. Placement of structural practices in floodplains shall be avoided to the degree attainable. A combination of sediment and erosion control measures is required to achieve maximum pollutant removal. 63. Provide adequate sediment basins. (Part IV.D.5.a.). " For common drainage locations that serve an area with 10 or more acres disturbed at one time, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin that provides storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2 year, 24 hour storm from each disturbed acre drained, must be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. Where no calculation has been performed, a temporary (or permanent) sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained, shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site. When computing the number of acres draining into a common location it is not necessary to include flows from offsite areas and flows from onsite areas that are either undisturbed or have undergone final stabilization where such flows are diverted around both the disturbed area and the sediment basin. In determining whether installing a sediment basin is attainable, the operator may consider factors such as site soils, slope, available area on site, etc. If "non-attainability" is claimed, then an explanation of that non-attainability shall be included in the SWPPP. In any event, the operator must consider public safety, especially as it relates to children, as a design factor for the sediment basin and alternative sediment controls must be used where site limitations preclude a safe design. " For drainage locations that serve 10 or more disturbed acres at one time and where a sediment basin meeting the provision of Part IV D.5.a.1 is not attainable, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps shall be used. Where a sediment basin is not attainable, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or alternatives which achieve effective sediment control are required for all down slope boundaries of the construction area (and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions). " For drainage locations serving less than 10 acres, smaller sediment basins and/or sediment traps shall be used. Silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or equivalent sediment controls are required for all down slope boundaries (and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate as dictated by individual site conditions) of the construction area unless a sediment basin providing storage for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2 year, 24 hour storm or 3,600 cubic feet of storage per acre drained is provided. 64. Place velocity dissipation devices at discharge locations and along the length of any outfall channel to provide a non-erosive flow velocity from the structure to a water course so that the natural physical and biological characteristics and functions are maintained and protected (e.g. no significant changes in the hydrological regime of the receiving water). (Part IV.D.5.b). Note: The velocity dissipation devices must be in place during the construction phases. Installation scheduling must be included and should be as early as practicable. 65. Describe post-construction storm water management measures that will be installed during the construction process to control pollutants in stormwater discharges after construction operations have been completed. Structural measures shall be placed on upland soils to the degree attainable. Such measures must be designed and installed consistent with applicable local or state stormwater management requirements. (Part IV.D.6). Inspections 66. Add a note stating that the operator(s) shall report to ADEQ any noncompliance (including spills) which may endanger human health or the environment. The operator shall orally notify the office listed below within 24 hours: Arizona Department of Environmental Quality 1110 W. Washington, 5th floor (5515B-1) Phoenix, AZ 85007 Office: 602-771-4466; Fax 602-771-4505 Signature Requirements 67. Include a certification and signature for each operator in accordance with Part VII.K. (Part IV.J.1). 68. All NOIs must be signed and certified as follows: a) For a corporation: By a responsible corporate officer. For the purpose of this Part, a responsible corporate officer means: i) A president, secretary, treasurer, or vice-president of the corporation in charge of a principal business function, or any other person who performs similar policy or decision-making functions for the corporation; or ii) The manager of one or more manufacturing, production, or operating facilities, provided, the manager is authorized to make management decisions which govern the operation of the regulated facility including having the explicit or implicit duty of making major capital investment recommendations, and initiating and directing other comprehensive measures to assure long term environmental compliance with environmental laws and regulations; the manager can ensure that the necessary systems are established or actions taken to gather complete and accurate information for permit application requirements; and where authority to sign documents has been assigned or delegated to the manager in accordance with corporate procedures. b) For a partnership or sole proprietorship: By a general partner or the proprietor, respectively; or c) For a municipality, state, federal, or other public agency: By either a principal executive officer or ranking elected official.

| 02/03/2011 | JOSE ORTIZ | COT NON-DSD | TRAFFIC | Approv-Cond | 1) Please provide response for prior Parks and Recreation comments below: I have reviewed the 12/1/10 Development Package for 795 W Congress Street for the Tucson Parks and Recreation Department and have the found the following items which need clarification or revision: 1) More information regarding grading in the landscape area north of the building is needed in order to evaluate the impact on the 'no compaction zone' around the Heritage Eucalyptus Tree in that area. 2) Any new pavement located within the 'no compaction zone' around the Heritage Eucalyptus tree will need to be permeable. This includes sidewalks. 3) The path and trails within the adjacent Santa Cruz River Park (West bank) are to be upgraded to meet current River Park and Anza Trail Standards. This includes a 12' wide asphalt-paved multi-use path and a 10' wide decomposed granite trail. 4) There is no indication of new landscaping or grading on the east side of the property where the building abuts the Santa Cruz River Park. It is assumed that the construction of the building as well as the relocation of the reclaimed waterline will affect the park and these areas need to be addressed on the landscape plan. 5) Sheet C3 indicates that the parking lot south of the building will drain into a 24" underground stormdrain pipe which appears to daylight into the Santa Cruz River Park. The plan will need to show how the developer intends to convey this water into the Santa Cruz River channel without it flowing over the River Park Path and trail or causing erosion.

| 02/04/2011 | JOE LINVILLE | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Denied | 1) Shade shall be provided for at least fifty (50%) percent of all sidewalks and pedestrian access paths as measured at 2:00 p.m. on June 21 when the sun is eighty-two degrees above the horizon. Provide calculations for the required shade. The following types of landscaping and improvements may be used to comply with Sec. 2.8.12.4.C.6.a (Landscaping and Screening): i. Existing landscaping; ii. Shade trees in the right-of-way; iii. Green walls or green roofs; and/or iv. Shade structures, such as awnings Although no shade calculations are included with the plans, the response letter mentions that easement restrictions along Congress Street prohibit meeting the code requirement. It is beyond the scope of this review to provide an LUC variance. Please contact PDSD Zoning Administration. LUC 5.3.3 Other pedestrian pathways on site do not appear to be encumbered by the same easement issues and should be designed to meet the requirements. 2) No additional Native Plant Preservation information was received by PDSD Landscape. See previous comments. 3) Resolve the outstanding issues with the final plat and offsite improvements cited by other agencies. |
