SUBJECT: Kadampa Meditation Center Development Plan Package- Engineering Review
TO: Metro TED; Attn: Lisa Bowers
LOCATION: 5326 E Pima St; T14S R14E Sec02
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: DP14-0065


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Planning & Development Services Department has received and reviewed the proposed Development Plan Package and Drainage Report (Cypress Civil Development, 07APR14) and Geotechnical Evaluation (Speedie and Associates, 18APR14). Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the Development Plan Package at this time. This review falls under the Unified Development Code (UDC), Administration Manual (AM) and Technical Standards Manual (TSM). Refer to the following link for further clarification:
http://www.amlegal.com/nxt/gateway.dll/Arizona/tucson_az_udc/administrativemanual?f=templates$fn=default.htm$3.0$vid=amlegal:tucson_udc_az

The following items need to be addressed:

SITE PLAN:

1) AM Sec.2-06.3.12: Revise the development plan package and Sheet Index on Sheet 1 to include Sheet 5 and 6.

2) AM Sec.2-06.4.3: The relevant Development Plan Package case number (DP14-0065) may be added to the lower right hand corner of the plan on all sheets.

3) AM Sec.2-06.4.7.A.6: Revise the development plan package to provide a General Note to read per the referenced section for the overlay(s) applicable to the site, specifically state that "the project is designed to meet the overlay zone criteria for Sec.5.4, Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) Setback Zone.

4) AM Sec.2-06.4.8.B: Provide written approval from all parties having a vested interest in the existing easements (15' Water Easement and 20' Flowage of Water and Debris Easement) along the south portion of the site. The plan proposes a CMU block wall within the easements and can not be approved and constructed until the written authorization is provided. Verify that the wall location does not damage the existing infrastructure within the easement.

5) AM Sec.2-06.4.8.C: Revise the development plan package to dimension the existing width of paving, curbs, curb cuts, and sidewalks within the public right-of-way.

6) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to label the required minimum 25-foot radii at the new driveway entrance per TSM Sec.10-01.3.2.C and Figure 6.

7) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1:Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the proposed driveway setbacks from adjacent driveways and/or street intersections along with any existing street lights, fire hydrants, electrical pole, etc per Chapter 25 of the Tucson Code Sec.25-38. It appears that there is an existing driveway located to the east of the property that may interfere with the required 25-foot curb returns and driveway location for this project.

8) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to verify conformance with handicap accessibility for the existing sidewalk within the public right-of-way. Provide existing longitudinal and cross slopes to ensure maximum 2% or provide written approval from TDOT Permits and Codes that the existing sidewalk meets accessibility requirements.

9) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.1: Revise the development plan package to label the required handicap access ramps at the driveway location per 10-01.3.3.E. Label a Keynote in plan view to ensure that the ramps are constructed under this project and provide a description of the Keynote in the Keynote Legend to verify conformance with PC/COT Standard Detail #207. Once the curb returns are constructed the handicap access ramps must meet the minimum standards.

10) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.2: Revise the development plan package to label and dimension the existing and/or future SVTs for the driveway entrance, refer to TSM Sec.10-01.5.3 for line of sight matrix. On a designated MS&R street, the SVTs are based on the MS&R cross-section.

11) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.H.5.a: Revise the development plan package to clearly label the required separation of the proposed vehicular use area and the unused portions of the site not for vehicular use. Refer to UDC Sec.7.4.6.H.1; A barrier, such as post barricades or wheel stop curbing, are required in a vehicular use area to prevent vehicles from extending beyond project area, damaging adjacent landscaping, fencing, or unpaved areas, and/or driving onto unimproved portions of the site. Provide a barrier around the south side of the back up spur and adjacent to the water harvesting area and around all proposed interior landscape islands located within the parking lot in order to meet this requirement.

12) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.J: Revise the development plan package to label the dimensioned right-of-way for Pima Street as "Future/Existing."

13) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.J: Revise the development plan package to verify the future sidewalk area. Label and dimension the MS&R future sidewalk area and the future sight visibility triangles if the current location does not meet the MS&R future dimensions.

14) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.M: Revise the development plan package and Paving and Grading Note #13 to remove the reference to the SWPPP Inspection. The site does not require a SWPPP therefore only the grading preconstruction meeting is required.

15) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.M: Revise the development plan package to provide a General Note to state; "Approval from TDOT Permits and Codes for all improvements within the public right-of-way will be required. A right-of-way use permit application will be required prior to construction."

16) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.M: Revise the development plan package to provide a General Note that includes the reference to the Geotechnical Report and any addendums prepared for this project. Provide the date, job number, engineer who prepared the report, etc.

17) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.M: Revise the development plan package to provide a General Note to state; "All proposed fencing and walls will require a separate permit for review and approval by all necessary Planning Development Services Departments."

18) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.M: Revise the development plan package to provide cross-sections at the property lines at the location of the proposed CMU wall to verify that the wall is designed to be fully constructed onsite. The wall and footer along with all disturbances to construct the wall must be located on the subject parcel. If the construction of the wall requires disturbance on adjacent properties then a written notarized agreement will be required along with a temporary construction easement.

19) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.N.3: Revise the development plan package to clearly label all existing drainage infrastructure with Improvement Plan #, slopes, inlet elevation (upstream and downstream), etc. that is in the existing right-of-way.

20) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.N.3: Revise the development plan package and Keynote #8 to correctly label the existing sidewalk scupper located within the right-of-way. The Keynote calls it out as a culvert. If a culvert is existing provide the invert elevations for the inlet and outlet and the culvert slope.

21) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Refer to comments from Ron Brown, RA Structural Plans Examiner for all handicap accessibility comments that may be associated with this project. Specifically the onsite handicap access ramps must meet ANSI requirements and can not be built to the PC/COT Standard Detail #207, this detail is for ramps in the right-of-way only.

22) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.R: Revise the development plan package to label the required landing and or clear 4-foot sidewalk adjacent to both proposed onsite handicap access ramp locations. Verify that the ramps meet the minimum ANSI requirements.

23) AM Sec.2-06.4.9.T: Revise the development plan package to provide for centralized onsite solid waste and recycle collection service pick up per TSM Sec.8-01.5.1.A. Provide specific details on the development plan document for construction purposes. The details must match TSM Sec.8-01, Figure 2 and Figure 3a for the required double enclosure walls with gates, concrete thickness and compressive strength, concrete approach apron dimensions, space from wall to bollards, anchoring bolts, 14'x40' clear approach for each container, etc. Or provide approval from ES if refuse service is proposed using APC. The development plan package has conflicting information throughout on how the refuse service is to be handled. Calculations on Sheet 1, versus to the 2 Keynotes (#19 and 26) on Sheet 2 and the enclosure detail on Sheet 4. Also the post developed watershed map in the drainage report shows excess impervious cover due to more vehicular use area and a refuse enclosure.

DRAINAGE REPORT:

24) Revise the Drainage Report to provide a discussion on the existing 20' flowage of water and debris easement located along the south portion of the site. Along with the discussion and written approval from all parties who have a vested interest in the easement provide calculations for the proposed wall openings to verify that the wall does not encroach or adversely effect surrounding properties.

25) Revise the Drainage Report and proposed watershed map to match the proposed development plan package. The watershed map shows excess impervious area and a refuse enclosure that is not shown on the development plan package. Verify in the discussion how this effect existing and post imperviousness of the site and provide a map that matches what is being proposed under the development plan package.
