| 01/23/2006 | GLYNDA ROTHWELL | UTILITIES | TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER | Approved | SUBJECT: ESCALANTE-HOUGHTON SUBDIVISION Lots 1-58 S05-114 Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has no objection to the preliminary plat submitted for review January 18, 2006. Enclosed is a copy of the tentative plat showing where TEP will be placing the aboveground equipment for this subdivision. This is not a preliminary design. TEP has provided this drawing to show where the proposed locations are for transformers and pedestals. As you are aware there are existing 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 thirty (30) 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. Also, submit the AutoCAD version of the plat on a CD or email to lcastillo@tep.com <mailto:lcastillo@tep.com> . Should you have any questions, please contact me at (520) 917-8745.

| 01/28/2006 | DAN CASTRO | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | 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 July 10, 2006. 2. On sheet 1 of 9, note the subdivision case number (S05-114) in the lower right corner of the sheet. (D.S. 2-03.2.2.B.1) 3. The following comment will remain until is has been satisfied. This project is within the Scenic Corridor Zone (SCZ) and Hillside Development Zone (HDZ). A separate application review is required for the SCZ and HDZ. You may obtain a copy of the Overlay Zone application online at: http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms_Fees___Maps/Applications/Overlay_Zone_Application.pdf The Overlay Zone case number must be noted in the lower right corner of each sheet of the tentative plat, landscape, and NPPO plans. All required elements of the SCZ (i.e. 30 foot buffer, view corridors, approved colors, etc..) and HDZ as shown on the approved Overlay Zone plan must be added to the tentative plat, along with date of approval and any conditions placed on that approval. The tentative plat may not be approved prior to Overlay Zone application approval. (LUC 2.8.2) (LUC 2.8.1) (D.S. 2-12) (D.S. 9-04) If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact David Rivera. Telephone number (520) 791-5608 ext. 1180 or David.Rivera@tucsonaz.gov |
| 02/01/2006 | LAITH ALSHAMI | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | Laith Alshami, Engineering and Floodplain Review, 02/01/2006 RECEIVED: Tentative Plat, Landscape Plan and Drainage Report on January 18, 2006 The subject project has been reviewed. We offer the following comments: Drainage Report: The Drainage Report is acceptable for Tentative Plat purposes. However Tentative Plat comments may require minor Drainage Report revisions. Tentative Plat: 1. Provide the correct S (yr)-______ subdivision case number on sheet 1/9 according to D.S. 2-03.2.2.B.1. 2. Due to the removal of the detention/retention basins, General Note #23 is no longer needed. 3. Submit a concurrence letter from Andy Dinauer, which verifies compliance with Transportation related Rezoning Conditions. 4. In order to ensure that onsite washes runoff will flow freely and that the City has right to order the washes cleaned, maintained or repaired, dedicate a flowage easement over the onsite unnamed washes as required by Sections 1.5.1 and 3.4 of the Standard Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management in Tucson, AZ (SMDDFM). Additionally, clarify on the Tentative Plat how the owner is proposing to dedicate the flowage easements (i.e. by final plat or a separate instrument). Common area dedication does not fulfill this requirement because common areas can be used for uses other than strictly runoff flowage. 5. It is not clear how the existing onsite easement(s) will be released/abandoned. Clarify (D.S. 2-03.2.3.C). Ensure that the existing utility easements, proposed to be abandoned are not needed by the Utility Companies. The response to this comment did not clearly state how the abandonments/release would be accomplished. 6. According to D.S. 2-03.2.4.F, proposed street names are required on the tentative plat. 7. If the proposed fill on lot 12 is 2' or more, verify compliance with Development Standard 11-01.8.0 "Fill". This includes following the required procedure to allow fills of 2' or more within the outer 100' of the subject parcel. 8. Show the location(s) where cross-section B/6 (modified) was taken and verify hydraulically, in the drainage report, that it will contain the drainage runoff, within the right of way, without causing adverse impact on adjacent lots. 9. Assuming that the scupper cells have 2-foot openings, it appears that the provided numbers of scupper cells are not sufficient. Revise as needed. 10. It is the City's Policy that all areas classified as "Xeroriparian Habitats" shall be treated as W.A.S.H. Ordinance washes for preservation and mitigation purposes. Adding a general note stating that this project is designed to be in compliance with the W.A.S.H. Ordinance regulations as they pertain to preservation and mitigation (D.S. 2-03.2.2.C.3) ensures that during construction, the wash will be preserved and fenced off for grading, even if no encroachment is proposed. You may phrase the note any way you choose to include the information mentioned above. 11. Show building setback lines from all proposed cut or fill slopes (if any are proposed) (D.S. 2-03.2.4.M.). Additionally, show the appropriate slope treatment. Please be advised that slope treatment and setback lines shall be determined in the Geotechnical Report. 12. It is not clear if a drainage swale is being proposed between the retaining wall and the screen wall east of lots 47-53. If so, a drainage easement or a common area (with access) is required to ensure continuation of flowage and maintenance of the swale. It is preferable to use a common area for the swale to facilitate the maintenance operation. 13. Please be advised that our staff believe that the combination of the 30" screen wall and the retaining wall will create a hazardous situation. It is very easy for someone to jump over the screen wall and be exposed to a 10-foot drop. 14. After checking with Zoning staff, they directed me to comment on the proposed retaining wall that exceeds 10 feet in height in some locations, which requires a variance. Additionally, the proposed cut within the 400-foot buffer, which necessitates the installation of the retaining wall, is considered extensive disturbance to the area, and does not conform to Section 2.8.2.6 (siting) of the Land Use Code. Please be advised that no additional Tentative Plat review will be conducted until the Overlay Zone review is completed. Contact David Rivera from Zoning at 791-5550 ext. 1181 for additional instructions/information. 15. A Geotechnical Report shall be submitted with the Grading Plan. The Report shall address setbacks from cut and/or fill slopes if any are proposed. Landscape Plan: The Landscape Plan is acceptable for Engineering purposes. Prepare a detailed response that explains the revisions that were made and references the exact location in the Drainage Report and on the Tentative Plat where the revisions were made. RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: Revised Tentative Plat and Drainage Report |
| 02/01/2006 | JOE LINVILLE | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Approv-Cond | 1) Revise the landscape plan, native plant preservation, and engineering plans to show the limits of grading. There should also be a limit shown at the 30' scenic route buffer. DS 2-07.2.2.B.4, DS 2-15.3.4.A.1. 2) Add the CRDC case number to all plans in the lower right corner. 3) Note the case number and date of approval for any overlay zone cases. RESUBMITTAL OF ALL PLANS IS REQUIRED |
