END OF REVIEW
11/16/2012 LAITH ALSHAMI ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 11/26/2012,

SUBJECT: Esperanza En Escalante
DP12-0207, T14S, R15E, SECTION 30
Ref. D06-0002

RECEIVED: Development Package and Drainage Report on November 08, 2012

The subject project has been reviewed. We offer the following comments:

Drainage Report:

1. The subject project was initially submitted in January 2006 under Case Number D06-0002. The Original Drainage Report was approved in November 2007. It is recommended that the approved report is consulted for additional information that appears to be missing from the submitted Drainage Statement. A copy of the approved drainage report is available at PDSD for review.
2. Provide information concerning offsite runoff and it is impact on the proposed development. Provide the appropriate offsite drainage exhibit.
3. Provide drainage exhibits that clearly show what is being proposed and where the proposed drainage facilities and their details are proposed.
4. The drainage report does not address onsite drainage solutions in detail and how the runoff will be moved to the concentration points through the buildings, PAAL's and parking areas without causing adverse impact on the development.
5. The driveway and P.A.A.L. capacity calculations should be included. Show on the drainage exhibits the locations of the cross sections.
6. Any proposed drainage structures construction information and dimensions should be shown and labeled on the drainage exhibit including invert elevations.
7. Reference the source of all equations used in the drainage report (i.e. the Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management, Detention/Retention Manual, etc.).
8. The subject project lies within a balanced basin which requires the installation of runoff detention basin. Address this issue and provide the detention routing and design calculations.
9. The subject parcel is larger than one acre, which requires the installation of runoff retention basin. Address this issue and provide the retention design calculations.
10. According to Section 14.3 of the "Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management In Tucson, Arizona", the proposed detention/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 access to vehicles except maintenance vehicles. Additionally, the proposed drainage structures maintenance responsibility should be addressed in the Report and a maintenance check list for the proposed drainage structures should be include in the Report.
11. According to Section 3.3.5 "Low-Flow Channels" of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual, the proposed basins floors should be sloped to provide positive drainage. 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.
12. Address in the Drainage Report and show, label, and dimension on the onsite drainage exhibits the proposed detention/retention basins and their side slopes, sediment traps, the type and location of the proposed outlets, the erosion control structures at the outlets, maintenance access ramps, the proposed runoff conveyance systems and their material (i.e. cmp's concrete pipes, concrete channels, scuppers, curb openings etc.). Verify if security barriers are required.
13. Address water harvesting.
14. The drainage report does not address roof drainage and sidewalk scuppers. According to D.S. 2-05.2.4.H.3. and D.S. 3-01.4.4.F. 10-year flow has to be completely conveyed under sidewalks when the runoff crosses any sidewalk/walkway. Additionally, show the roof drainage direction on the drainage exhibit and provide sidewalk scuppers for the roof drains. Please be advised that the 10-year flow requirement does not apply to roof drainage. Roof drainage has to be discharged in its entirety to avoid prolonged ponding on the roof that might cause the roof to collapse. Demonstrate compliance with the sidewalk scupper requirement including design calculations.
15. Buildings set backs need to be determined from the proposed detention basin based on the recommendations of the Geotechnical Report. Submit a Geotechnical Report that addresses required setbacks.

EVERY PAGE OF PACKAGE:

The provide lot coverage calculations do not appear to be correct nor complete. Lot coverage is the area of building square footage and vehicle use area divided by the square footage of the entire site. Provide the square footage of building area and vehicle use area for each phase not just the area of each phase.

9. DS 2-01.3.7.A.9.d When the proposed site is part of a larger site, the calculations encompass the entire site, whether existing or proposed. If the project is being phased,
calculations must show that, at each phase, requirements are being met.

The above comment includes FAR calculations, lot coverage calculations, vehicle parking calculations, bicycle parking calculations for each phase of this project.

Provide the phase lines on the site plan and clearly indicate how each phase will operate as a stand alone project. Barriers to prevent vehicles from driving onto unimproved portions of the site (between phases), it appears that phase lines will pass through parking spaces, show how this will work, clearly indicate the location of the required bicycle parking spaces for each phase.

For clarity purposes provide a separate utility plan.

10. DS 2-01.3.8.C The following information regarding public right-of-way adjacent to the site shall be provided: the name, right-of-way width, recordation data, type and dimensioned width of paving, curbs, curb cuts, and sidewalks.
