Lots 1-17
S04-107

Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has no objection to the tentative plat
submitted for review dated November 17, 2004.

The preliminary point where TEP will serve this project is from the existing
junction cabinet to the south of the project, the existing pole west of the
project, and the pole north of the project. As you are aware, there are
existing electrical facilities within the boundaries of this subdivision.
All relocation costs will be billable to the developer.

TEP will provide a preliminary electrical design on the Approved Tentative
Plat within fifteen (15) working days upon receipt of the plat. Additional
plans necessary for preparation of the design are: building plans including
water, electrical, landscape, sidewalk and paving plans. Should you have
any questions, please contact me at (520) 917-8745.

Planning Administrator

SUBJECT: 8520 E. Wrightstown Road
Tentative Plat S04-107 (Second Review)
T14S, 15E, Section 04

RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: Tentative Plat and Mitigation Plan.

The Development Plan (DP) and Mitigation Plan (MP) cannot be approved as submitted. Please address the following review comments prior to the next submittal.

Tentative Plat:

1. Please include a response letter to the comments along with the corrected copies of the DP.
2. Proposed street section, the R/W width does not meet COT standards per D.S. 3-01.10, figures 1 through 3. As per our conversation, the TP cannot be approved prior to the DSMR approval.
3. Add note to TP stating that lots affected by the 100-year flood plain limits may require a Flood Plain Use permit.
4. Label existing and future sight visibility triangles per D.S. 2-02.2.1.10. The SVT's are not shown correctly. The "PI" is located at the edges of the new pavement and the "arm" should also connect to the edge of pavement. Future SVT's need to be on the TP or a letter from TDOT stating that Wrightstown Road will not be widened to future width will be required.
5. The bleeder pipe for the det./ret. basin should shorted, due to maintenance factors, then the rip-rap splash pad could be taken out of the resource area and lessen the area of disturbance.

Drainage Report:
1. The DR is accepted for TP purposes only. Final acceptance will be done at the Grading plan stage.
2. Show the project address on the cover of the DR.

Mitigation Plan:
1. As stated in comment 6 of the TP, by shortening the bleeder pipe for the det./ret. basin and removing the rip-rap splash pad from the resource area, this would considerably lessen the are of disturbance.
2. The MP is accepted by engineering.

PROJECT: S04-107

TRANSMITTAL: November 3, 2004

DUE DATE: November 30, 2004

COMMENTS

1. Section 4.1.7.1, LUC, permits a maximum of one year from the date of application to obtain approval of a tentative plat. If, at the end of that time, the tentative plat has not been approved, it must be revised to be in compliance with all regulations in effect at that time, and must be resubmitted for a full CDRC review. The one-year expiration date for this tentative plat is August 22, 2005.

2. Please submit a copy of the authorized memo listing all conditions of rezoning for review and verification. DS 2-03.2.2.B.3

3. This comment has been left as reference until resolution of the DSMR. Please be advised that additional comments may be forthcoming based on the next submittal packet.

The proposed street cross section for the interior streets do not meet street standards for required parking on both sides. The proposed street cross section depicts two ten-foot wide travel lanes with concrete headers. The street must be provided with vertical curbs and a minimum of five feet for a pedestrian refuge along the entire length of both sides of the streets. Also, if street sidewalks will not be constructed, concrete driveways are required from the street curb to the garage.

With the proposed street cross section proposed without on street parking on either side of the street, visitor parking spaces must be provided in a common area at a ratio of one parking space per dwelling unit in the subdivision. The tentative plat depicts bumpouts (or pull out parking spaces) for visitor parking along both sides of the street and is labeled as a 10-foot PUE and parking easement. Thirteen bump outs have been provided to accommodate a total of fourteen spaces (one of the bumpouts appears to be long enough for two spaces. Seventeen parking spaces must be provided to meet the ratio requirement. It is also preferable that the parking spaces be part of the Street common area rather than easement. Per DS 3-01 cross section Figure-1, the cross section may be used as depicted as long as visitor parking is provided in common areas and distributed evenly throughout the subdivision. The five-foot pedestrian area must be a full five-foot wide behind the bump outs as well as along the street frontage. Provide a street cross section that depicts the visitor parking bumpouts and label and dimension the bumpouts and the pedestrian refuge area. On street parking spaces or as depicted in the bump outs must be a minimum of eight feet wide and twenty-three feet long. Label the length and width of the typical bumpouts. The 23 feet length does not include the angled portion of the bump out. Add a typical detail drawing of a lot depicting the required concrete driveway from the vertical. Additional comments may be forthcoming on this issue based on the revisions to the street cross sections. DS 2-03.2.4.G

4. The previous comment was not addressed. Please submit a copy of the final letter that authorized the rezoning conditions. Also, a separate response letter that states how all the rezoning conditions have been dealt with, must be submitted with the next submittal packet.

As indicated in comment 4 the conditions of rezoning must be listed on the plat. Please submit a response letter with the next submittal packet of the tentative plat stating how all conditions of rezoning have been met. Submit for review all required documents as stated in the rezoning conditions.

5. The Zoning Review Section cannot approve the tentative plat until the DSMR has been approved. If the DSMR is approved, please list on the tentative plat the case number, date of approval, and list the conditions of approval. If the DSMR is conditionally approved please revise the drawings and incorporate all the conditions of approval.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call David Rivera, (520) 791-5608.
