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.

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

Development Plan – 2nd Submittal
D10-0042

The Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation Department (PCRWRD) has reviewed the proposed sewer collection lines for the above-referenced project. The following comments are offered for your use:

Obtain a letter from the PCRWRD’s Development Liaison Unit, written within the past year, 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/developer.htm#permits

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

Sheet C1: Fill in the blank for the proposed FUE in General Note # 14

Sheet C3: Show the rim and invert elevations for existing public manholes on plan. Also show the pipe size for the existing public sewer line in Congress.

Sheet C3: Show whether the proposed sewer line by others is public or private and show where this sewer line is connecting to the existing public sewer.

Sheet C3: The 8” stubout proposed by others should not be shown as a direct connection. It should be shown as connecting to a manhole on the 10” line.

Sheet C3: Show the slope and length of the 8” BCS. Also show the rim and invert elevations for any manholes proposed on this line. The 8” BCS should terminate with a manhole.

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 third(3rd) 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 bluelines and response letter.

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

If you have any questions about this review letter please call me @ the phone number 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.
