| 01/09/2017 | PAUL BAUGHMAN | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Reqs Change | DATE: January 11, 2017 DUE DATE: January 30, 2017 SUBJECT: Downtown Clifton Expansion TO: Kevin Hall, PE LOCATION: 485 S. Stone Ave REVIEWERS: Paul Baughman, PE, CFM ACTIVITY: DP16-0238 SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Planning and Development Services Department has received and reviewed the proposed Development Plan Package. The following items need to be addressed: 1) Per AM 2-06.4.3 please add the case number (DP16-0238). 2) Per UDC 7.14.4, Section 2.3.1.1B please include the case number on the drainage report cover. 3) The project description in the drainage report contains a typo where is describes an expansion of an existing "mote" facility. Please update accordingly. 4) Per AM 2-06.4.9N general note 23 on sheet 1 and general paving and grading note 19 on sheet 2 should reflect water harvesting in all landscape areas per the detention/retention section of the drainage report. Please note that an exception is available for areas deemed unsuitable for water harvesting near building subject to geotechnical report recommendations. This should be noted in the drainage report so the plans match the drainage report recommendations. Please submit the geotechnical report mentioned in Earthwork/material testing+ certification note 1, as found on sheet 2 for a compliance check against the plans. See TSM 2-01.4.1D for requirements. 5) Due to the expanded use, curb returns may be required to replace the curb cut on sheet 3 per TSM 10-01.3.2D based on the ADT of the now combined use. Please provide the ADT in the response letter and the appropriate modifications if required or TSMR/IID/Variance as applicable. 6) Per UDC 7.6.6C please provide a curb cut at the south side of the western entryway to allow drainage from hardscape to be routed to the required water harvesting area along Stone on the western side of the sight. 7) Per Tucson Code Chapter 25-40(b) the expanded use of this site may trigger compliance with the 5' separation requirement between the curb cut/curb returns and the light pole. A Variance or IID may be warranted in this case. 8) Keynote 14 is calling out "drivable grass" south of the western entryway on sheet 3. Please provide a detail/spec that shows compliance with UDC 7.4.6I for surfacing requirements. Please call to discuss this material with PDSD Engineering staff if an exception through the IID is going to be requested. 9) Keynote 22 is calling out a new trash enclosure that per TSM 8-01.5.3G should be realigned to conform with the requirements of figures 1 or 4 of TSM 10. Please contact Thomas Ryan at ES (837-3713) for staff support for a TSMR/variance/IID exception. 10) Keynote 23 reflects a new site amenity. Per AM 2-06.3.10 please identify the material represented by the hatching that keynote 23 is superimposed over. 11) The leader line from a keynote 16 callout on the south side of the parking by the south side of the western entry appears like it may be better identified with keynote 12. No curb stop linework appears at this location as would be expected by a keynote 16 callout. 12) Per UDC 7.6.6C there are a few depressed 6" water harvesting areas on the west side of the site on sheet 4 where hardscape surfaces should be routed to these areas. 13) There are three locations on sheet 4 where the slopes to not match the proposed conditions watershed map contained in the drainage report. Per AM 2-06.4.9N please update these area accordingly. There is an area between the northwestern two buildings where a portion of PWS2 is draining north into PWS1 instead of west towards South Stone. There is an area between the northeastern two buildings where a portion of PWS4 is draining west into PWS1 instead of south towards PWS3. There is an area between the southwestern two buildings where a portion of PWS3 is draining north into PWS 2 instead of south into east 16th Street. Please note that it is acceptable to update the drainage report if this drainage schematic is the intended design. 14) Per TSM 2-01.4.1C3 and AM2-06.4.9N4 please show ridge lines/high points on sheet 4 for grading detail. 15) There is an unidentified water meter on sheet 5 that is south/adjacent to the water meter called out by water keynote 3. Please update accordingly. 16) Per TSM 2-01.4.1C6 the concrete compressive strength called out in detail F6 may need to be updated depending on the requirements of the geotechnical report to be submitted with the 2nd submittal. If you have any comments questions or wish to discuss new information, please call or email me at 520-837-5007 or paul.baughman@tucsonaz.gov. |

| 01/23/2017 | GARY WITTWER | COT NON-DSD | TDOT | Reqs Change | I have the following comment: I am a little concerned with the planting space available between the curb and the sidewalk on both 16th and on Stone. A minimum width should be 5'. I am concerned that the trees will eventually buckle the sidewalk or the curb. Would it be possible to put in tree grates to set the trees back away from the curb a little more? Thanks, Gary |

The proposed improvements in the right of way are acceptable. However the following will need to be modified on the plan or acknowledged. 2. Driveway apron acceptable. TDOT will support the driveway aprons instead of curb returns. 3. At time of construction a private improvement agreement (PIA) will be required due to new curb and improvements along S Russell Av. 4. A 5 foot separation is required between a curb cut and a light pole for new driveway along Stone Ave. Tucson city code Chapter 25 39 (b). It seems existing light pole will need to be moved. TDOT will not support a waiver for this requirement. 5. Key note 25 page 3 of 11. New wall/fence seems to be along property line. Ensure footer does not encroach onto right of way. 6. Keynote 15. Concrete pad for trash pickup should extend entire width of Russel Av. 7. Ensure all sidewalk and pedestrian ramps meet current ADA requirements. Improvements to any substandard sidewalk i.e. buckling or cracked must be replaced. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 520 837 6659 or zelin.canchola@tucsonaz.gov |

| 01/30/2017 | AHINES2 | COT NON-DSD | ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES | Approved | The City of Tucson - Environmental Services Department has completed our review of the Development Package for the Downtown Clifton Expansion project. In addition, I visited the property to inspect the proposed enclosure location. The waste generation calculations were reviewed and found to be correct. Due to the sites location within the Infill Incentive District, Cypress Civil Development is requesting the following exemptions from Section 8 of the Technical Standards Manual: •An exemption is being requested for Section 5.3. A. which requires that service access shall be from within the development. Service access is proposed along S. Russell Avenue on the east side of the site. •An exemption is being requested for Section 5.3. G. which states that when service access cannot be provided from within the development, the enclosure shall be located such that service is from the adjacent public right of way with a 45 degree or 30 degree angle of approach. The enclosure is parallel to S. Russell Avenue and the 45 degree or 30 degree offset is not provided. One two cubic yard metal container is proposed for refuse and one two cubic yard metal container is proposed for recycle materials. It is proposed that the containers will be rolled out of the enclosure and placed along S. Russell Avenue for pick-up. Section 5.3. A. Given the proposed building development on the subject site, the only possible location for the container enclosure within the development would be on the parking area on the north side of the site. A total of 29 parking spaces are required for the proposed development. Cypress Civil Development has provided 26 parking spaces on-site and will provide the remaining three parking spaces along E. 16th Street. The code allows a maximum of five parking spaces along adjacent streets. Locating the enclosure in the proposed parking area would reduce the number of parking spaces and not allow for the required 29 total parking spaces for the proposed development. Environmental Services will approve the service access from S. Russell Street given the need for the on-site area for parking spaces. Section 5.3. G. As stated above, the 45 degree or 30 degree off-set from the adjacent public right of way is not provided. The proposed metal containers are two cubic yards in capacity and can be rolled out of the enclosure and placed on the west side of S. Russell Avenue for servicing. There are a total of eight single family residences on both sides of S. Russell Avenue between E. 16th Street and E. 15th Street. With this small number of residences on S. Russell Avenue, there will be limited traffic on this street. Therefore, the opening of the enclosure gates and placement of the two cubic yard containers (two containers) is not expected to interfere with traffic flow on S. Russell Avenue. Environmental Services currently provides waste servicing along S. Russell Avenue. Based on this analysis, Environmental Services will approve the orientation of the waste enclosure in the southeast corner of the site. In summary, Environmental Services approves the solid waste management activities proposed in the Development Package for the Downtown Clifton Expansion project. Please contact me at 837-3713 if there are any questions concerning this review. Tom Ryan, P. E. City of Tucson - Environmental Services Department |
