| 05/16/2019 | SBEASLE1 | COT NON-DSD | ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES | Reqs Change | The Environmental & General Services Department has completed our review of the Development Package for Activity Number DP19-0122, an 8 story residential building to be located at 127 S. 5th Avenue in Tucson. The waste generation calculations were reviewed and found to be correct. The applicant is proposing to use one 6 cubic yard container for refuse and one 6 cubic yard container for recyclable materials. Each container will be serviced two times per week. The waste enclosure housing the containers will be located on the east-central portion of the property. Detail F on Sheet 6 of 11 depicts the proposed waste enclosure. The dimensions of the enclosure are 13.5 feet by 13.3 feet. These dimensions are for an enclosure containing one container only. Enclosures for two containers have dimensions of approximately 28 feet by 12 feet. See Figure 3A in Section 8 of the City of Tucson - Technical Standards Manual. Figure F also references Figure 3B of the City of Tucson - Technical Standards Manual, which is the design for a single container enclosure. The applicant shall redesign the enclosure to properly store two waste containers. A 6 cubic yard waste container filled with refuse weighs about 3,000 pounds. As such, it is too heavy to manually roll out from the enclosure to the adjacent street for servicing. The approach to the enclosure is 9.5 feet, as shown on the site plan on Sheet 2 of 11. In accordance with Section 8-01.5.2 of the Technical Standards Manual, a minimum unobstructed opening of 12 feet is required in front of the enclosure gates to allow access by the servicing vehicle. It also appears the refuse vehicle cannot make the 90 degree turn necessary from S. Herbert Avenue to access the enclosure. If access to the enclosure was possible, the refuse vehicle would be extending almost completely into S. Herbert Avenue (blocking off traffic) while servicing the containers. The orientation of the enclosure will have to be redesigned to allow for proper access by the servicing vehicle. The redesign of the enclosure should include a description of truck turning radii to demonstrate the accessibility of the enclosure for servicing. Please let me know if there are any questions concerning this review. Tom Ryan, P. E. City of Tucson Environmental & General Services Department email: Thomas.Ryan@TucsonAZ.gov |

Stone Avenue, First Floor Tucson, AZ 85701 Dear Ms. Beasley: SUBJECT: 8-story residential building, 127 S 5th Avenue, DP19-0122 Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has reviewed and approved the development plan submitted May 13, 2019. It appears that there are conflicts with existing the TEP facilities. However, I have been in touch with architect Victor Bolduc. Approval of the development plan is contingent on the below conflicts being resolved. There is an existing pad mounted transformer on the property that is currently in conflict, the transformer location will be relocated and new easement will be provided. Overhead lines on the East side will also be re-framed to add horizontal clearance from the new building. Pole #22 on the West side of the development may have to be relocated to maintain clearance from new building. Enclosed is a copy of a TEP facilities map showing the approximate location of the existing facilities. Any relocation costs will be billable to the customer. In order to apply for electric service, call the New Construction Department at (520) 918-8300. Submit a final set of plans including approved site, electrical load, paving off-site improvements and irrigation plans, if available include a CD with the AutoCAD version of the plans.

| 06/10/2019 | SBEASLE1 | OTHER AGENCIES | TUCSON AIRPORT AUTHORITY | Reqs Change | (Two TAA documents mentioned here can be viewed on PRO in the "Documents" section) June 10, 2019 Sharon Beasley Permit Technician City of Tucson Public Works Buildings - 201 North Stone Avenue Tucson, AZ. 85701 RE: DP19-0122 127 S. 5th Avenue, 8-story Residential Building / 1st Submittal, Received May 13, 2019 Dear Ms. Beasley, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on DP19-0122, 127 S. 5th Avenue, 8-story Residential Building; 1st Submittal, a development package application for an approximately 0.56 acre site, located northeast of the intersection of East 12th Street and South 5th Avenue. The property is zoned Commercial 3 (C-3), with the proposed development being an 8 story residential structure. This site is within the Tucson International Airport avigation easement requirements and public disclosure area, FAA traffic pattern airspace, FAA Part 77 airspace, The Tucson Airport Authority conditionally approves the subject request contingent upon the following conditions of approval, as noted below. These conditions shall be identified in the general notes of the revised development plan. Conditions of approval: 1. "According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Notice Criteria Tool, this project area is located in proximity to a navigation facility and could impact navigation signal reception. The project applicant shall file FAA Form 7460 with the FAA at least 45 days before construction activities begin unless FAA staff, with the Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE/AAA), provides the project applicant with written communication that filing FAA Form 7460 is not required. It is highly recommended that the applicant file earlier than 45 days to provide the applicant with sufficient time to respond to any concerns which are identified by the FAA. Any cranes which are used must also be identified with Form 7460. Please file Form 7460 at https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp" Although this project does not propose a change in plan designation or zoning the Tucson Airport Authority highly recommends the applicant add the following two notes into the general notes of the revised development plan. This project is located approximately 6 miles northwest of Tucson International Airport and is within FAA traffic pattern airspace, an area which would be subject to aircraft overflight and noise due to being in close proximity to Tucson International Airport. The first proposed note would provide a means of assuring that future owners and tenants of the property are aware they are in proximity an airport and further assures the continued right of the City of Tucson, Tucson Airport Authority, and all persons lawfully utilizing the Tucson International Airport the right to utilize the airspace above or near the property. This would be accomplished through the property owner recording the Avigation Easement. The second proposed note is meant to be a second method of notification, but only for residential related uses, that future property owners and tenants are living near an airport. The Tucson Airport Authority believes the proposed notes help to support the City of Tucson Airport Environs Overlay Zone and supports Plan Tucson - Regional and Global Positioning policy 4 (RG-4). 1. "That prior to the City's approval of any construction permit for a permanent building, the property owner shall record the Avigation Easement which discloses the existence, and operational characteristics of the Tucson International Airport to future owners or tenants of the property and further conveys the right to the public to lawfully use the airspace above the property. The Avigation Easement shall be recorded in a manner with the Pima County recorder which shall document it as having title liability. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided." The current property owner or person authorized to sign on behalf of the current property owner shall complete, sign, and record the Avigation Easement. Please record the Avigation Easement with the Pima County Recorder's Office. Once the Avigation Easement is recorded please send a complete copy of the recorded easement document to Tucson Airport Authority by either email (send to srobidoux@flytucson.com) or to the mailing address provided below. Scott Robidoux, Senior Airport Planner Tucson Airport Authority 7250 South Tucson Boulevard, Suite 300 Tucson, AZ 85756 2. "The developer shall provide the Airport Disclosure Statement form, at time of sale, to the new property owners with new unit purchases. In the event the development of any residential uses does not involve the sale of new units, but is instead offering rental residential units to the public, the new tenant of the rental unit shall be provided a copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form. The intent of the Airport Disclosure Statement form is to educate and notify the new residents that they are living near an airport. The content of such documents shall be according to the form and instructions provided." The new property owner or new tenant shall forward a signed copy of the Airport Disclosure Statement form to the Tucson Airport Authority, using the mailing address provided below. Scott Robidoux, Senior Airport Planner Tucson Airport Authority 7250 South Tucson Boulevard, Suite 300 Tucson, AZ 85756 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this comment letter.
