01/25/2012 | LAITH ALSHAMI | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 01/25/2012, TO: Patricia Gehlen FROM: Laith Alshami, P.E. CDRC Engineering SUBJECT: Campus Acquisition/Tyndall Housing DP12-0009, T14S, R14E, SECTION 07 RECEIVED: Development Package on January 13, 2012 The subject submittal has been reviewed and it can not be approved at this time. This project is part of an Urban Overlay District (UOD) process for the West University Transition Area. The process has not been completed and the UOD has not been adopted by Mayor and Council. Since the UOD process has not been finalized yet, a complete and an effective review can not be conducted. Additional submittal(s) will be required to ensure that the project complies with the Finalized UOD document. Address the following comments before review can continue. Prepare a detailed response that explains the revisions that were made and references the exact location in the drainage report and on the Development Package where the revisions were made: Drainage Report: The drainage report is lacking a lot of information concerning the proposed drainage scheme and facilities and their design calculations. Additionally, a geotechnical report shall address slope protection and stabilization and onsite soil type(s) and their infiltration rate(s) in order to determine how to design the required runoff retention basin(s). The following comments are more specific: 1. Provide, on the drainage exhibits, all right of way width including the alley. 2. This Office looks at both phases as one project. The project size exceeds one acre and runoff retention needs to be provided. Since the project impervious cover will not significantly change between existing and future conditions, the required runoff retention amount might be small enough to be accommodated by providing additional waterharvesting. Revise the report accordingly. 3. Determine, if applicable, what offsite watersheds impact the subject parcel. Provide an offsite watershed map. 4. Provide, in the report, the proposed drainage scheme and all proposed drainage facilities and their design calculations (i.e. runoff retention including dimensions, side slopes and 100-year ponding limits, drainage scuppers, curb openings, storm drain rating, erosion control pads, swales, alley's hydraulic rating, proposed materials, dimensions, etc.). 5. Address, in the report, drainage facilities maintenance requirement and responsibility and specify that the inspection shall be performed by a registered civil engineer annually and/or after every major storm. Additionally, provide a drainage facilities maintenance checklist to facilitate the required maintenance. 6. Explain in the text the building roof drainage direction and explain if sidewalk scuppers will be required. Show the roof drainage direction and provide the scuppers design calculations if proposed. 7. The alley capacity calculations should be included. Show on the drainage exhibits the locations of the cross sections, where the P.A.A.L's are being analyzed. 8. Will the proposed parking garage be below grade? If so, clarify how the parking garage drainage will be accommodated. 9. Address the maximum disposal time for the proposed retention basins based on the basins infiltration rates found in the Geotechnical Report. Verify, that the basins will completely empty out in about 12 hours or less as required by Section 3.5.1.3.a of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual. If bleeders are utilized to drain the retention basins, verify that they are adequate to drain them in the required time. Provide basins' inlet and outlet details to clarify the proposed structures and the location and elevation of the bleeders. 10. According to Section 14.3 of the "Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management in Tucson, Arizona", the proposed retention basins require maintenance access ramps that should 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 inadvertent vehicular access. Address this issue and determine what kind of maintenance access is required for the proposed basins. Please be advised that small shallow basins may not require access ramps. 11. According to Section 3.3.5 "Low-Flow Channels" of the Stormwater Retention Manual, the proposed basins floors should be sloped to provide positive drainage especially if bleed pipes will be utilized to drain out the basins. 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. Show the provided positive drainage on the drainage exhibit and provide the inlet and outlet proposed grades. Cover Sheet: 1. The name, mailing and email addresses, and phone number of the primary property owner of the site, the developer of the project, registrant(s), and other person(s), firm(s), or organization(s) that prepared the development package documents shall be provided on the right half of the cover sheet. The applicable registration or license number shall be provided if prepared by or with the assistance of a registered professional, such as a surveyor, architect, landscape architect, or engineer. All sealing shall be consistent with Arizona Board of Technical Registration guidelines (D.S. 2-01.3.1). 2. Provide the project Township, Range and Section below the Location Map (D.S. 2-01.3.4.C). 3. Provide a reduced scale map of the UOD indicating the portion being developed (D.S. 2-01.3.6.). EVERY PAGE OF PACKAGE: 1. Provide the DP12-0009 case number as required by D.S. 2-01.3.3. BASE LAYER SHEET COMMENTS: 1. Provide the tie between the basis of bearing and one of the corners of the parcel. 2. According to the parcel information provided on PDSD GIS Maps, the subject project area consists of several lots. It appears that a lot combo is required for this project. 3. All existing onsite easements shall be drawn on the plan. The recordation information, location, width, and purpose of all easements onsite 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 shall occur prior to approval of plan unless written permission from easement holder(s) is provided (D.S. 2-01.3.8.B). Provide a recent Title Report. 4. The following information regarding existing private or public right-of-way adjacent to or within the site shall be provided: the name, right-of-way width, recordation data, type and dimensioned width of paving, curbs, curb cuts, and sidewalks (D.S. 2-01.3.8.C). Provide all missing information. 5. All proposed easements (utility, sewer, drainage, access, etc.) are to be dimensioned and labeled as to their purposes and whether they will be public or private (D.S. 2-01.3.9.L). Permitting/General Notes: 1. Complete the overlay zone number in Permitting Note #6 (D.S. 2-01.3.7.A.6.b). 2. Since the project is not impacted by the regulatory floodplain, Permitting Note #9 can be removed (D.S. 2-01.3.7.B.2.a). 3. Revise Permitting Note #13 as follows: Add the following "and after a major storm" after the words "at least once each year". 4. Complete missing information in General Note #2. 5. The gross area information, provided in General Note #2, appears to be advertently added and it needs to be a separate note. 6. The gross area, provided in General Note #2, is inconsistent with the gross area, provided in Permitting Note #4 and the site area provided on Sheets 1 of 20 and 4 of 20. Clarify the discrepancy and revise as necessary. 7. Replace the name of the department in General Note #24 by the accurate name of the department (i.e. Planning and Development Services Department). 8. Add the following general notes: a. The approved Development Package Plan is the only acceptable construction plan onsite. b. The contractor shall remove the fine materials from the bottom of the drainage related basins and scarify their bottoms once the construction activities are completed, in order to remove any fine material build up caused by construction and to restore soil percolation. BMP's may be installed at the basin inlet(s) to prevent the fines from entering the basin c. Any proposed engineering work to be done below grade (i.e. toe-downs, cutoff walls, drainage pipes/structures, etc.) shall not be back filled until Development Services Inspector inspects the work and approves it. d. The contractor is not permitted to make an autonomous decision to carry out construction field changes without prior written approval from the Engineer of Record and the City of Tucson Development Services Department. e.

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 January 12, 2013. 2. DS 2-01.3.3, this project has been assigned the development package case number DP12-0009. List the case number adjacent to the title block of all plan sheets. If the UOD Is assigned a case number or ordinance please list it adjacent to the title block of all plan sheets. 3. DS 2-01.3.4, the location map appears to be incomplete. The map does not appear to cover a one square mile and does not include the information required by this standard and subsections. Revise the map to comply with DS 2-01.3.4.A, B, C. **Note: All comments related to zoning requirements must be addressed on both sheet 1 and 6. All zoning comments must be addressed on sheets where applicable where the notes or criteria are providing the same information related to zoning. 4. DS 2-01.3.7.A.1, include under the Project Data Sheet one (1), Zoning note, the UOD number or whatever zoning designation is assigned to the UOD. Both sheet 1 and 6 must be updated with all zoning notes and must be consistent. 5. DS 2-01.3.7.A.3, this plan has been prepared in conjunction with a rezoning application; add the following note next to the existing zoning note: "Proposed zoning is ____." List the applicable rezoning file number and conditions of approval. Also place the C9-__-__ (if applicable) and the plan file numbers in the lower right corner of each sheet. 6. DS 2-01.3.7.A.4, identify the proposed use of the property as classified per the UOD. The uses must be consistent and should be listed as described or labeled in the UOD. Sheet 1 and 6 should be consistent with this information. 7. DS 2-01.3.7.A.5, list the number of units and bedrooms on sheet 6. 8. DS 2-01.3.7.A.6, if applicable, list special exceptions, zoning variances, zoning and development standard modifications, overlay zones, and other reviews that are applicable to the project. (UOD, name and number) 9. DS 2-01.3.7.A.6.a, HPZ approval prior to demolition permit approval is required due to the age of the buildings. Contact Jonathan Mabry (837-6908) for process requirements. As a general note state that the project is designed to meet the HPZ overlay zone(s) criteria, and provide the case number, date of approval, what was approved, and conditions of approval. 10. DS 2-01.3.7.A.8, several parcels are to be combined to develop the proposed project. In any of the previous meetings leading up to the submittal of the development package, clarify whether or not PDSD staff ever discussed or indicate that a final plat would be needed in order to clean up any potential issues with property lines. Clarify if a record of survey has been or will be created to combine the existing lots into one overall parcel. 11. DS 2-01.3.8.A, provide the site boundary information on the civil site plan sheet 6. The information should be the consistent on the civil and architectural site plan sheets. Please revise the plans sheets to match or provide consistent information. 12. DS 2-01.3.8.B, if applicable, 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 shall occur prior to approval of plan unless written permission from easement holder(s) is provided. 13. DS 2-01.3.8.F, label the zoning classification adjacent to the proposed development site, including the zoning classifications across the streets. 14. DS 2-01.3.9.H.5.c, demonstrate fully dimensioned maneuverability into and out of the loading dock areas. 15. DS 2-01.3.9.L, if applicable to this project, all proposed easements (utility, sewer, drainage, access, etc.) are to be dimensioned and labeled as to their purposes and whether they will be public or private. 16. DS 2-01.3.9.M, the conceptual grading plan has been reviewed as part of the development package and in conjunction with the site review. The grading plan may have to be revised several times for consistency with the site plan. Once the site plan has been approved by zoning as part of the DP the grading plan is assumed to be approved as well. Any revisions to the site plan will require revisions to the grading plan and visa versa. At this time the site plan has not been approved by zoning therefore the grading plan is not approved. Ensure that all changes that are made to the site plan are incorporated into the grading plan and visa versa. 17. DS 2-01.3.9.V, indicate the location and type of mail service that will be provided for this development. If a central location is proposed within the interior of the building add a general note stating so. If multiple mailboxes are proposed outside the building draw and label the location. Ensure that pedestrian or vehicular access is not obstructed. 18. DS 2-01.3.9.W, if applicable to this project, draw and label the locations of free standing monument signs or similar type signage proposed and include applicable dimensions height, length and width of each sign. 19. DS 2-01.4.2.F, as of this review the MGD UOD document has not been finalized and is an evolving document from what I can tell. This comment has been added as a caveat that any changes to the plan or document that are not addressed in the final UOD document could require additional process approval. At this time I do not see any issues that arise based on the draft MGD UOD but additional comments may be forthcoming on the next review based on any changes to the site plan and MGD UOD. 20. DS 2-01.4.2.G, should the proposed project be subject to review for overlay zone requirements, such as a Historic Preservation Zone (HPZ), The application for the overlay zone must be submitted simultaneously with the development review document application to DSD so that concurrent review can occur. These submittals may occur after the first review of the development review documents by the Development Services Department 21. The following comments are related specifically to the MGD UOD requirements. Address as required in addition to what is required for compliance with DS 2-01 Development Package. 22. B-1.e, for a proposed development within the MGD UOD the underlying zoning classification must include the "U" designation, i.e. UR-3. 23. C-2.b.1, clarify if the use listed under the use description group is to be a listed in the revised UOD document. None of the uses under section C.2 Land Use includes a Residential Mixed Use. I would say that based on the listed uses this project use would be classified as Mixed Use and the main component would be residential with additional use components listed would include office, accessory assemblies and recreation areas etc. 24. C.5.b.1.iii, the 18 short term bicycle parking spaces along the west side of the building do not appear to be within fifty feet of a building entrance. Revise the location to comply with the minimum 65% requirement or indicate on the plan that there is a building entrance within fifty feet of these 18 short term spaces. 25. C.5.c.6, it is my understanding from the PDSD Building Official that the there is no height clearance or requirement for parking structures written into the building codes. Clarify the types of vehicles that may have access to the parking structure, other than the typical passenger car or truck. If for any reason large vehicles such as refuse, delivery, buses, etc will or may have access to the parking structure the minimum clearance must be noted somewhere at the entrance drives to limit access to vehicles over a specific height or limit access to any and all vehicles that may be over the height limitation that is proposed by the designer. 26. C-05.0, this section refers to development standard 3-05. DS 3-05 standards have been removed from the development standards manual and applied to LUC section 3.3.1. Revise the UOD document to reflect this change. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call David Rivera, (520) 791-5608.
