6. Proposed fills in excess of two feet above existing grade at any location in the outer one hundred feet of the developing site adjacent to residentially zoned property require the procedure outlined in Development Standard 11-01.8.0. This process must be complete prior to Grading Plan approval.

7. Proposed developments disturbing areas exceeding 1 acre are subject to AzDES requirements.

8. All proposed easements must be shown in a surveyable manner on the Final Plat.


The next submittal must address the following items:

TENTATIVE PLAT

1. Provide the subdivision case number S06-097 in the lower right hand corner of each sheet. DS 2-03.2.2.B.1.

2. The benchmark symbol shown on 1st Avenue and Roger Road is shown in the legend as a "new brass cap survey monument." Is this correct? Typically the bench mark locations in an arterial street/road are a found monument. Please clarify and revise the plat appropriately. DS 2-02.2.3.A.

3. It appears the symbols for the survey information in the legend are not consistent with what is shown on the plat view. For example the survey point located in the southwest corner is labeled on the plat view as "found ½ rebar affixed tag LS 36175." The symbol used is described in the legend as "set ½" rebar tagged LS 36715." Please correct the plat appropriately. DS 2-02.2.3.A.

4. Dimension from the street centerline of First Avenue to the existing curb and sidewalk location. DS 2-03.2.3.D.

5. All existing easements will be drawn on the plat, and recordation information, locations, widths, and purposes shall be included. If the easement is not in use and proposed for abandonment, so indicate. Blanket easements should be listed in the notes, together with recordation data and their proposed status. If this requirement is applicable, provide this information on the plat. D.S. 2-03. 2.2.3.C.

6. Conditions on adjacent land affecting the project must be shown on the plat. This includes item such as walls, fences, structures, etc. It appears after reviewing an aerial photo the project may be bound by a wall or fence on the south and/or east side of the project. Clarify in detail in the response letter and revise appropriately on the plat view. DS 2-03.2.3.H.

7. A permit or a private improvement agreement will be necessary for any work performed within the Right-of-way. Contact Permits and Codes at (520) 791-5100 for permit information.

8. Provide 5' sidewalks along the proposed roadwork for Smoot Drive. DS 3-01.4.0.

9. Show and label as to size (ie 20x110) both existing and future SVTs (DS 2-03.2.4.M). If the existing and future SVTs are coincident, label it as both existing and future. The SVTs at the project access are not labeled as to their size.

10. As per the Federal ADA requirements, all wheel chair ramps shall have the truncated domes instead of the standard grooves that are shown on COT SD 207. Aside from the Truncated Domes, all wheel chair ramps shall be constructed in accordance with COT SD 207. Revise appropriately.

11. The new lot lines for lots 1-25 are difficult to determine from the channels, sidewalks and driveways. It is acknowledged this is a small site where it can be a challenge to clearly provide the required information on the plat. The lot lines must be identifiable on the plat. Revise the plat to clearly indicate the lot lines on each plat. DS 2-03.2.4.A.

12. Provide the curve data for lots 11, 12 and 25. Revise the square footage of each lot appropriately. DS 2-03.2.4.A., DS 2-03.2.4.B.

The property/perimeter line of the subdivision is approximately 47' away from the top of bank of the basin. Clarify and revise appropriately. DS 2-03.2.4.A.

18. The proposed basin volume in the drainage report is 2617 cubic feet; on the plat the proposed basin volume is 2626 cubic feet. It is acknowledge it is a very small difference the proposed basin volumes provided in the drainage report and on the plat should match. Revise the documents to be consistent.

19. Security barriers must be provided at the top of all basins with a slope steeper than 4:1 and where a water depth exceeds 2'. Provide a security barrier around the basin. A minimum 42 inch barrier height is required for all basins. Indicate on the plat view and show in the appropriate details on sheet 3. Det/Ret Manual 3.6.2.

20. Show the location, size and indicate the slope of the basin maintenance access ramp on the plat and in the applicable details.

S06-097 - The Lofts at Villa Savonna: Tentative Plat Review
May 31, 2006

Staff offers the following comments:

Tentative plat, S06-097, is proposed as a Residential Cluster Project (RCP), and therefore must comply with section 3.6.1 of the Land Use Code, specifically section 3.6.1.4 of the general development criteria. In this instance, the RCP requires compliance with policies of the Northside Area Plan, the General Plan, and the Design Guidelines Manual. The Plans require community amenities; such as but not limited to; streetscapes with pedestrian oasis, and common area(s) of appropriate land size(s) to sustain passive and or active residential amenities for all, four sided architectural design on units visible from right-of-ways, and compatibility with adjacent residential uses.

Since lots 1 through 11, 24, and 25 are visible from public right-of-way, they shall be required to have five sided architectural units. The requirement is to wrap around to the sides and rear of the unit the same architectural level of detail as provided on the front façade of the unit. In addition to the proposed landscaping along the south right-of-way of Smoot Drive, the interior street (proposed private street) shall include a streetscape with canopy trees, which are to be planted within every other lot along the full length of the private street to create pedestrian oasis along the neighborhood street. Residential Cluster Projects (RCP) shall include within the required improvements, minimum five feet wide sidewalks..


1. Please revise proposed tentative plat, sheet 2 of 3, key note #8 to read 5.5 feet wide concrete sidewalks to concur with sheet 3 of 3, cross-section B/3
2. Please revise proposed tentative plat, sheet 3 of 3, cross-section A/3 to provide a five feet wide sidewalk along the southern right-of-way of Smoot Drive.
3. In addition to the proposed landscape buffer along Smoot Drive, please revise tentative plat/landscape plan to provide at minimum, one 15-gallon canopy tree within every other lot, and planted no more than (10) ten feet back from back of sidewalk.
4. Please revise tentative plat to include passive recreational amenities within Common Area “A,” (functional open space and drainage). Passive recreational amenities to include a tot lot and three other amenities, such as but not limited to; Half court basketball play area, Ramada structure, Table, bench, BBQ grill, Trash container.
5. Please revise the tentative plat/landscape plan to show the location of the required recreational amenities within the retention/detention basin. Recreational amenities to be handicapped accessible and located outside of the flow channel and shall be connected to the sidewalk system by an all-weather path.
6. Revise tentative plat to identify lots restricted to single story units. All lots along the perimeter that are located adjacent to single story units shall be restricted to single story construction. Please identify which of the following lots, 10 through 25 are located adjacent to existing single story units.
7. Please provide building elevations and a color palette for each proposed model unit (front, sides, rear, & roof) for lots 1 through 10, 24, and 25, to satisfy compliance with the five-sided architectural design element.

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 April 25, 2007.

2. This project was reviewed for compliance with the Land Use Code (LUC), Development Standard (DS), American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and International Building Code 2003 (IBC). Specifically, the content of this project was reviewed under DS 2-03 and LUC 3.6.1.

DS 2-03 REVIEW COMMENTS

3. Per DS 2-03.2.1.B, on resubmittal, ensure left margin of all sheets is only half inch.

4. Per DS 2-03.2.1.D, please list all subdivisions with recordation info within the area depicted on location map. In addition, please add Smoot Drive and Tyndall Avenue to the location map.

5. Per DS 2-03.2.1.G.2, declare in title block this subdivision is a residential cluster project.

In addition, in the title block (and on the plat) common areas should be referenced with their associated use (i.e. common area A is a drainage basin, common area B is the private street and parking, etc.)

6. Per DS 2-03.2.2.B1, place subdivision case number of S06-097 in the title block area.

7. Per DS 2-03.2.2.B.7, add code section "LUC 2.8.3." to general note 17.

8. Per DS 2-03.2.3.H, in response letter, clarify if existing church building is to be demolished.

9. Per DS 2-03.2.4.A, please provide separate line weights for buildings, lots, common areas, etc. It is really difficult to determine on this plan where the building foot prints and lot boundaries are.

10. Per DS 2-03.2.4.C, label each common area with letter designation A, B, C - i.e. drainage common area A, common area B landscaping or open area, parking/private drive common area C, etc. Provide square footage note for each common area element.

11. Per DS 2-03.2.4.G and 3-05, With regards to visitor parking spaces:
A) Visitor parking spaces must be provided within 150 feet of all lot lines, as a pedestrian travels, not as a bird flies. It appears the lack of on street parking provided on Villa Savonna and the position of the subsequent common area parking will not meet this requirement. (lots 15,16)

B) The visitor parking spaces which are 90 degrees to the street do not meet the requirements of LUC Sec. 3.3.7.5 (street may not be used for maneuvering in or out of a parking space). The exception to this provision is if a letter is provided from the City Engineer approving the location of the parking spaces.

C) Provide wheel stop barriers for all parking spaces to ensure pedestrian circulation is not compromised.

D) Staff is concerned about guest parking being provided directly adjacent to an emergency turn around area. Please see Engineering and Fire Dept. comments for further details. Be advised, the parking configuration may have to be change if these divisions assess a need.

E) Proposed on street parking and widening of the established Smoot Drive requires approval from Permits and Codes for right of way work 791-5100. Please provide commentary from this department that work on Smoot Drive will be permitted as shown.

12. Per DS 2-03.2.4.J, please ensure all easements on the property - current and proposed, are shown with associated recordation information.

TYPICAL DETAIL DRAWING COMMENTS

13. On detail A/3, change the sidewalk to a minimum of 5' in width for Smoot. Per DS 3-01, Figure 2.

14. On detail B/3, list the Average Daily Traffic. As proposed with 25 units accessing of the same street, the ADT for this street does not fall under 140 or less. The ADT determines building setbacks.

RCP 2-10.3.1 / RCP LUC 3.6.1 REVIEW COMMENTS

15. Per DS 2-10.3.1.B, please provide a typical detail drawing for a corner lot and a lot nearest 1st Street (it appears there is no setback issue from 1st due to the great length the buildings are away from the future road widening) for record purposes.

16. Per DS 2-10.3.1.D, provide note on first page indicating "Barrier-free accessibility for the elderly and physically disabled shall be provided to 25% of the ground floor units and all common use areas, including parking areas, within the project. And specify which lots, 6 are required for a 25 unit subdivision (staff acknowledges the note provided on the typical detail drawings, however, it should be in the general notes as well.)

17. Per DS 2-10.3.2.A, as 1st Street is a Major Streets and Routes (MS&R), Smoot Drive is also a MSR for setback purposes because it is a tributary off 1st Street. In light of this, please show:
A) the back of the future curb location off 1st Avenue
B) the distance from centerline of 1st Avenue to back of future curb
C) the setback line at a distance of 21 feet from the back of future curb east into the property
D) the setback line at a distance of 21 feet from nearest edge of travel lane from Smoot

18. Per LUC 3.6.1.4.D.2.c, provide 300 square feet of open area on each lot, 100 contiguous. And provide dimensions to verify on each lot or in table format.

19. Per DS 2-10.3.2.D, as each lot is under 4000 sf, provide elevations to be used to verify setbacks - measure from design grade to top of building - clarify if parapet roof.

20. Per LUC 3.2.6.5.B.2, With regards to building setbacks:
These townhomes will have a 140 ADT from each direction on each side of the entry street. Given the ADT, the residence setbacks from Villa Savonna are as follows:

For the garage, the setback is a maximum of 8' from the edge of pavement to the face of the garage - AND the garage must ALSO be setback 1 foot minimum from the sidewalk AND 1 foot back from the property line.

The setback shown for the garage to the edge of pavement is suffice, it's the 1' setback from the property line that cannot be accomplished without compromising the required maximum setback of 8' from pavement edge.

There are 4 options to seek remedy to this setback issue:
A) move property line to back of curb and provide Public access/utility easements to contain the sidewalk and maintenance area on each lot
B) move garage design back to accommodate the full length of a parking space of 18 feet in front of the garage to the property line
C) seek a DSMR (Development Standard Modification Request) to reduce the width of the right of way at least 1 foot on either side of the street
D) seek Board of Adjustment variances to allow for a 0 setback to existing property line

Please provide a setback notation for the south side of the development, perimeter area abutting the C-1 zone.

21. Provide a typical detail drawing for the handicapped accessible ramps, showing truncated domes.

22. Please provide an additional handicapped accessible ramp on the south side of Villa Savonna, positioned across from the ramps on the north side of the street that enters the subdivision. This will allow HC access to cross the street at midpoint rather than having to utilize the ramps at each end of the street.

23. Please provide a sidewalk around the guest parking at the west side of the project, abutting the drainage basin. Pedestrian/Handicapped access would otherwise have to cross behind the parking spaces and utilize the right of way pavement area. This would not meet standards of DS 2-08.

24. Per DS 2-10.3.2.E, provide CCRs.

25. Depending upon the responses given, further review comments may be forthcoming. Should you have any questions about this review, email me at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or contact me at 520-791-4541x1156.
