SUBJECT: Dollar General
DP13-0074, T13S, R14E, SECTION 28

RECEIVED: Development Plan Package and Drainage Report on May 07, 2013

The subject project has been reviewed. The project can not be approved at this time. Address the following comments before review can continue. Prepare a detailed response that explains the revisions that where made and references the exact location in the plan and in the Drainage Report where the revisions were made:

Drainage Report:

1. Since the project is located within Christmas Wash Watershed, which is a non-designated watershed, runoff detention is not required. Revise the introduction accordingly. However, providing runoff detention for the subject project is acceptable.
2. The developed conditions onsite watersheds, shown on the drainage exhibit (Sheet 9 of 9) do not match the watersheds shown on the "Developed Conditions Drainage Map". Revise as necessary.
3. The runoff amounts for Watershed #2 and #4, shown on the "Developed Conditions Drainage Map", are different from the amounts provided in the Hydraulic Data Sheets. Clarify the discrepancy and revise as needed.
4. The "Developed Conditions Drainage Map" shall show and label clearly the detention basin and waterharvesting basins with their dimensions, side slopes and any proposed associated drainage structure such as inlet, outlet, erosion control structures or pads, etc.
5. Watershed #5 Hydraulic Data Sheet is not included in the Report.
6. It appears that the discharge to Country Club will increase with the proposed drainage scheme even with the use of runoff detention. Clarify and ensure that any increase in discharge does not adversely impact the adjacent properties on Country Club, otherwise revise as necessary.
7. For pre developed conditions, it appears that the site runoff to the north/northeast side of the parcel exits the site in a sheet flow pattern. The post development appears to change the drainage pattern by concentrating the discharge. Revise the report (text and "Developed Condition Map") to maintain existing drainage patterns.
8. Ensure that any concentrated discharge point from the site is setback at least 2 feet from the lot line to disperse the discharge energy and eliminate any erosion on the adjacent properties
9. Provide, on the "Developed Condition Map" the 100-year ponding limits and water depth and water surface elevation in the proposed detention basin. The proposed structure finished floor elevation might need to be determined based on the water depth in the detention basin.
10. Provide a geotechnical report that determines the required building setback from the ponding water in the detention basin and water harvesting basins. Verify that the building is set back in accordance with the geotechnical report recommendations.
11. The geotechnical report shall also address slope treatment and stabilization requirements if applicable. Additionally, show on the drainage exhibits the proposed slope treatment based on the Soils Report recommendation.
12. Provide design calculations for any proposed sidewalk scuppers, erosion control structures, and all proposed drainage structures.
13. The drainage report shall address erosion control requirements for this project.
14. Address water harvesting requirements in more details and demonstrate how roof and site drainage will be directed to maximize water harvesting.
15. According to Section 14.3 of the "Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management In Tucson, Arizona", the proposed detention basin requires maintenance access ramp that shall 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 access to vehicles. Verify that the maintenance ramps will not reduce the required size of the basins. Smaller access ramps or the elimination of the ramp might be considered based on the size of the basin.
16. According to Section 3.3.5 "Low-Flow Channels" of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual the proposed basins floors shall 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.
17. The detention basin may require security barriers. Check Section 4.3 of the Stormwater Detention/Retention Manual for additional information.
18. The proposed building floor elevation shall be determined in the drainage report based on the site drainage.
19. Clarify where the irregular channel cross section was taken.
20. Show the water 100-year ponding depth in the parking lot and ensure that the water depth does not exceed 1 foot.

Development Package:

1. Provide, on every sheet, all relevant case numbers (A.M. 2-06.4.3).
2. Show, on the plan, the tie between the basis of bearing and one of the corners of the parcel (A.M. 2-06.4.8.A).
3. Show, if applicable, any existing onsite easements (A.M. 2-06.4.8.B).
4. The MS & R Country Club Road ultimate width is 100'. The plan is showing a width of 120' with incorrect ½ right of way dimensions. Verify the numbers and revise as necessary including curb, sidewalk and sight triangles locations (A.M. 2-06.4.8.C).
5. Provide Greenlee Road recordation data (A.M. 2-06.4.8.C).
6. According to Section 25-39 of the City Code, The maximum driveway width, for commercial development, shall be 30' at the lot line. Additionally, the driveway can not be located at the lot line as shown on the plan. According to City of Tucson Transportation Department, Permits and Record Section, reduce the driveway width to 24' and set it back from the lot line accordingly.
7. It appears that the subject project requires the processing of a lot combo before proceeding (A.M. 2-06.4.9.A).
8. Include a general note that specifies the PAAL's and parking spaces dimensions are taken from the gutter line (A.M. 2-06.4.9.H.5.).
9. Show and label grading limits. Include the grading limits symbol in the legend (A.M. 2-06.4.9.M).
10. Show the detention/retention basins and water harvesting 100-year ponding limits with water surface elevations (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.1).
11. Provide sidewalk scuppers for any concentrated runoff that will cross sidewalks or walkways. Additionally, show retention basin bleed pipes if applicable (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.3).
12. It is not clear how the drainage structure is supposed to function in Detail #15. Provide additional notes or cross sections to clarify (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.3).
13. Is the "PL" location in Detail #8 correct? (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.3).
14. Where is Detail #13 taken? (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.3).
15. Provide adequate construction details of all proposed drainage structures including materials, dimensions, etc. (A.M. 2-06.4.9.N.3).
16. Show the required building setbacks from the proposed retention and water harvesting basins (A.M. 2-06.4.9.O).
17. It appears that, in order to exit the site, the provided back up distance for the garbage truck, from the trash enclosure, will exceed the required maximum of 80'. Revise the trash enclosures location as needed (A.M. 2-06.4.9.T).
18. Reference Technical Standard 2-01.0.0. in Paving and Grading Note #7
19. Add the following standard grading notes:

a. "CALL FOR A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS.
