1. Section 3.3.3.G.5.c UDC, An applicant has one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a site plan that complies with zoning and other development requirements in effect at the time of application, unless an ordinance adopted by Mayor and Council during this period states otherwise. A site plan application that has been in review for a period of one year and has not yet been approved is considered denied. To continue the review of a site plan for the property, a new site plan must be submitted that complies with regulations in effect at the time of re-submittal. The new submittal initiates a new one-year review period. One year Expiration date is February 10, 2015.

If the project is proposing a stationary compactor verify that the construction design meet the minimum requirements of TSM Sec.8-01.5.2.I and J. Provide specific details on the development plan document for construction purposes. The Construction Note references the architectural plans which are not used for site construction. For this type of collection provide prior approval from Environmental Services (ES) in writing for use of the onsite compactors and not the normal double refuse enclosures. Any deviation from the standard will require a Technical Standard Modification Request (TSMR), it is advisable that prior to submitting the TSMR to contact ES to see if they would support the modifications.


DRAINAGE STATEMENT:

49) Provide a Drainage Statement to provide calculations, sizing and construction requirements for all proposed storm drain inlets and storm drain pipes as shown on the development plan package. The proposed method of storm water disposal could not be reviewed for conformance with TSM Sections 4-03 and 4-04 since the statement did not provide any calculations.

50) Provide a Drainage Statement stamped, signed and sealed by a civil engineer registered in the State of Arizona for all proposed drainage infrastructure, retention requirements, etc. The Statement was not reviewed since it was not sealed by an engineer and was incomplete not meeting the minimum requirements of TSM Sections 4-03 and 4-04.


GEOTECHNICAL REPORT:

51) TSM Sec.4-03.3.5.1.3.a and 4-04.14.2.6: Provide the Geotechnical Engineering Report by Terracon dated December 9, 2013 verifying the following requirements:

a) Soils report should provide conformance with TSM Section 4-04.14.2.6 regarding 30-foot boring for the retention basin, and provide a discussion of the potential for hydro-collapsible soils and building setbacks from the required basin.

b) Provide percolation rates for the retention basin for 5-year threshold to show that the drain down time meets the maximum per TSM Sec.4-03.3.5.1.

c) Provide pavement structure design recommendations.

d) Provide slope stability recommendations for the constructed slopes that are proposed.


SWPPP:

52) Provide a SWPPP for review and approval by the City of Tucson. Verify the SWPPP meets the minimum requirements of the AzPDES 2013 Construction General Permit (CGP).

53) Per City of Tucson Code Ordinance 10209, Chapter 26 Section 26-42.2: "For land disturbing activities that fall under the jurisdiction of this Article, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan must be prepared and certified by an engineer, or a landscape architect and submitted along with the application for a grading permit to the City of Tucson Development Services Department." The SWPPP report and exhibits must be signed and sealed by the engineer of record or by a Registered Landscape Architect, revise.
