Tentative Plat – 1st Submittal
S06-125


The proposed sewer collection lines to serve the above-referenced project have been reviewed on behalf of the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and the Pima County Wastewater Management Department (PCWMD). This review letter may contain comments pertaining to the concerns of either Department. The following comments are offered for your use.


As we discussed in our meeting Friday morning with James Summerset of AmericaBuilt Development and Bob Decker, PCWMD's Development Services Section Manager:
This subdivision may not be sewered using the public gravity sewers, and five publicly maintained conventional sewage pumping stations and force mains shown on this submittal. The PCWMD will not accept such a sewage collection system into its public sewer system.
Nor, may the homeowner's association of this subdivision be burdened with the maintenance of private gravity sewers and five privately maintained conventional lift stations.
The PCWMD believes that a privately maintained alternative sewer collection system, such as a vacuum sewer collection system, or low pressure sewer collection system is the best solution for sewering this property.

Please be aware that private sewers are not typically allowed to be installed within in public streets, so the on-site streets may need to be privately maintained as well. The Pima County Development Services Department may not approve a tentative plat submittal for this project showing private sewer lines within the public streets of this subdivision without first receiving written authorization from the City of Tucson Transportation Department for the private sewers to be in the public streets. If AmericaBuilt is unable to obtain such authorization from the City of Tucson Transportation Department, the on-site streets will need to be privately maintained.

As we discussed, should AmericaBuilt propose a low pressure sewer collection system, the PCWMD will require the following:
The off-site sewer across the State land to the west will need to be public.
The short on-site gravity sewer outfall line to be private.
A Bohn biofilter be installed for odor control at the manhole where the low pressure sewer system will discharge into the private gravity sewer.
A site for a chemical injection station, should one become necessary.
This subdivision to discharge to the public sewer system in accordance with the terms and conditions of a PCWMD Industrial Wastewater Control (IWC) Permit that will require routine monitoring of the liquid and gaseous phase sulfide levels, pH, BOD, TSS and other parameters as determined necessary by PCWMD's IWC Permitting Staff. PCWMD will use the monitoring results for determining if the homeowner's association will need to use chemical injection to prevent corrosion and/or odor concerns in the off-site public sewer system.

The proposed sewer collection lines to serve the above-referenced project have been reviewed on behalf of the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and the Pima County Wastewater Management Department (PCWMD). This review letter may contain comments pertaining to the concerns of either Department. The following comments are offered for your use.


Provide a letter from PCWWM Planning Services, written within the past 90 days, stating that treatment and conveyance system capacity for this project is available. A capacity request form may be found at http://www.pima.gov/wwm/forms/docs/CapResponseRequest.pdf.

ALL SHEETS. Add the project number, S06-125, to the title block of each sheet. This number should be shown larger or bolder than any cross-reference numbers.

Based on the evaluation of the proposed sewer design, this project qualifies for Standard sewer connection fee rates.

This project proposes connecting to an existing public sewer line 15 inches in diameter or larger. This existing public sewer line conveys high volumes of wastewater, therefore the owner, engineer and contractor shall be aware that a flow management plan may be required. The owner, engineer and contractor shall also be aware that Pima County Wastewater Management Department may require review of this project.

SHEET 2. A section of proposed sewer is shown connecting to the existing public sewer network, however this section of proposed sewer does not convey the flow from any of the proposed 500 lots. This project is to show how the 500 lots discharge into the existing public sewer network. Please revise accordingly.

SHEET 3. Provide sewer service to lots 1-3.

SHEET 14. Tentative plats are to show all sewer infrastructure, including force mains and lift stations. Revise this sheet accordingly, and revise any other sheets that may be affected by this specific review comment.

SHEET 17. The manhole number on the layout and the manhole number in the sewer manhole table do not match. Revise accordingly.

SHEET 2-17. Show the length, size and slope for the proposed public sewer.

We will require a revised set of drawings and a response letter addressing each comment. Additional comments may be made during the review of these documents.

The next submittal of this project will be the 2nd submittal. A check for the review fee of this submittal in the amount of $700.00 made out to PIMA COUNTY TREASURER must accompany the revised set of bluelines and response letter.

For any questions regarding the fee schedule, please go to http://www.pimaxpress.com/SubDivision/Documents/Fees.PDF where you may find the appropriate wastewater review fees at the bottom of page 1. If the number of sheets changes, please adjust the review fee accordingly.

To: Patricia Gehlen, CDRC/Zoning Manager
From: Loren Makus, Senior Engineering Associate
Re: S06-125 Rincon Knolls, Tentative Plat (First Review)

Resubmittal Required: Revised Tentative Plat, Revised Drainage Report, Preliminary Development Plan.

The Tentative Plat and Drainage Report have been reviewed by the Engineering Division. The Tentative Plat and Drainage report cannot be approved at this time. The following concerns must be addressed fully before the project can be approved.

Tentative Plat Comments:
1. Provide a copy of the preliminary development plan as indicated in rezoning condition 1.
2. Clearly delineate on the Tentative Plat the location of each WASH ordinance watercourse, the floodplain associtated with each watercourse the banks and the study area for each watercourse.If any disturbance is proposed for any part of the study area, a complete WASH submittal will be required. The WASH submittal must follow the DSD full notice procedure.
3. A complete Hillside Development Zone (HDZ) submittal and review is required for this project. Clearly delineate the areas for which the Average Cross Slope is less than 15 per cent. Note that in the equation for the ACS after the natural areas have been set aside, the area must reflect the area of the project less the area of the natural set aside.
4. In all areas of the Tentative Plat ensure that enough contours are labeled to prevent ambiguity. For example, the contours in the area on the bottom of Sheet 8 are not clearly labeled.
5. Provide labeled spot elevations at various locations in the streets. Confirm that lots will drain as described. For example lot 468 indicates that it will drain to the street but the manhole in the street has a rim elevation higher than the lot.
6. The Tentative Plat indicates the use of CMP in the public right-of-way. Department of transportation standards require the use of Reinforced Concrete in all drainage structures in the public street. Revise the plan to idicate RCP or other concrete structures.
7. The Tentative Plat shows a proposed cut of as much as 10 feet in boundary lots for the Subdivision. (See Lots 1-3) Revise the Tentative Plat to provide more reasonable proposed pad elevations. Note that cut and fill slopes must be set back at least two feet from the project boundary. These lots also indicate that they will drain uphill to the street.
8. In other areas with significant proposed cut or fill provide details showing how the lots will transition from the proposed pad grade to the adjacent natural areas.
9. Clearly delineate the areas that are to remain natural and undisturbed. Show how grading on lots adjacent to the natural areas will be achieved without disturbance of the proposed natural areas. For example Lot 500 has a pad grade that is 5 feet higher than the low corner of the lot.
10. Clarify the symbol shown through Common Area B on Sheets 7 and 8. It appears to be a drainage structure but is labelled a wildlife corridor.
11. Sheet 8 of the Tentative Plat seems to indicate proposed retaining walls that will be up to 27 feet tall. The Land Use Code limits the total height of retaining walls in perimeter yards to 10 feet. This includes the height of any patio wall or fence on top of the retaining wall. Revise the tentative plat to be consistent with the LUC.
12. The calculated grading limits and NUOS boundaries from the last two pages of the Tentative Plat must be drawn on the tentative plat. The survey data may appear on the last two sheets.
13. Provide details or explanations for the transistions between adjacent lots where proposed pad grades are have a difference greater than a foot.
14. Provide details for the filled road beds that cross ravines. Indicate the side slopes for the fill areas and indicate on the plan the extent of the proposed run out.
15. There are several locations where the differential grading requirements of the grading development standard are not met. For example lot 474 has a pad grade that is as much as 15 feet above the lowest existing corner. Generally fills in the outer 100 feet of the project must be no greater than 2 feet in depth.
16. Note that on T-intersections sight visibility triangles are required only along the through street.
17. Show discharge quantities for the locations where culverts and scuppers are proposed.

Drainage Report Comments:

18. Clarify Figure 3 to show any offsite drainage entering the site from the east boundary. Provide an exhibit showing the existing drainage areas that may affect the site. For example, clearly indicate the project boundaries on figure 5. Provide sufficient topographical detail to substantiate the conclusions.
19. Clarify the basin nomenclature in figure 5 and in related discussions and calculations to indicate which drainage areas are on the site and which are in areas that will not be developed.
20. Clarify the general conditions discussed on page 5. The narrative indicates that there are both 5 and 6 major drainageways on site. The discussions do not address the most significant drainage mentioned on the top of page 4.
21. Provide discussions establishing the 500-foot setback from the Pantano Wash.
22. Fully discuss the delineation of the WASH study areas in the drainage report.

I strongly recommend that we meet to discuss these comments before the project is resubmitted. I can be reached at loren.makus@tucsonaz.gov or at 520.791.5550 ext 1161.

Dear Mr. Yellowhair:

SUBJECT: RINCON KNOLLS
Lots 1-500
S06-125

Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has no objection to the preliminary plat submitted for review June 6, 2006.

The preliminary point where TEP will serve this project is from the possible feeds existing from the pole line to the north and also from duct stubs (one on the west side of Cienega Rd. and the other from a J-2 on Millicent Trail. Okay to use these feeds since both are within public road right-of-way. Offsite easements and state land lease will be required for feeds off the pole line to the north on state land. Enclosed is a copy of TEP’s facility map showing the approximate location and unit numbers of the existing facilities. Also 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.

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 Aslusser@tep.com. Should you have any questions, please contact your Designer, Frank Grijalva at

The site is subject to rezoning case C9-06-07, conditions 1 through 33. The following are DUPD’s comments, as it relates to compliance to rezoning C9-06-07 requirements. Staff suggests the applicant contact the Department of Urban Planning and Design to arrange a meeting to discuss these revisions prior to re-submittal. Staff (Manuel Padilla or Roger Howlett) can be reached at 791-4505 to arrange meeting:

A requirement of rezoning condition number #2, is for the site to have a unified landscaping theme, that includes an entry statement at MAC Way and the northern exit point. The tentative plat, landscape plan does not provide a landscape entry statement at MAC Way, nor at the northern exit point. Please revise submittal to comply with rezoning condition # 2.
Rezoning condition # 7 requires a Category II Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA). Staff requests to see how the MAC Way entryway statement/improvements and the northern access point are addressed by the TIA. Please include the required TIA in the resubmittal.
As part of the tentative plat process, rezoning condition # 9 requires the owner/developer to design and construct the Pantano River Park corridor (Trail #5). The tentative plat and landscape plan does not include information to review for compliance of this condition. Please revise submittal to comply with the requirements of rezoning condition # 9.
Rezoning condition # 20 requires a native canopy tree within ten feet of the front property line on every other lot, on every street within the development. Please landscape plan, sheet 1 of 9, note #13 to state verbatim the language of rezoning condition #20.
Rezoning condition # 11 & 12 requires the temporary construction and the NUOS boundary fences to be placed under the supervision of a registered land surveyor and upon completion of this work, registered land surveyor to certify by letter that fencing meets rezoning conditions # 11 & 12. Please revise landscape plan, sheet 1 of 9, note 9 to include rezoning condition # 11 & 12 language (verbatim) as part of the fencing information.
Rezoning condition # 13 requires wildlife-friendly culvert systems that assimilates the natural base of the wash to be located beneath all road crossings in delineated wildlife corridors. Details of the culvert systems to be provided on the tentative plat. Please revise tentative plat to be in compliance with rezoning condition # 13.
Please revise the tentative plat NUOS and NROS calculations to exclude square footage of land areas improved with Pocket Park and Trail amenities (Portions of Common Areas “B”).
Please revise tentative plat and landscape plan to include Pocket Parks, on-site trails and Wildlife amenities as required by rezoning conditions # 15, 16, 17, & 18. Pocket Park requirements shall be adequately disbursed throughout the development (500 lots), within portions of Common Areas “B.” Wildlife requirements shall be located on designated (natural wildlife corridor alignments) Common Areas “B.”
As per staff note #8 above, Pocket Parks shall be landscaped with thornless native trees, plants and shrubs. Pocket Parks shall have tot lots, turf area, a ramada with a table and benches, bar-be-que grills, and attached trash receptacles. All weather access shall be provided for pedestrian paths that connect the street sidewalk to all pocket park amenities.
Please contact the Department of Development Services (DSD), Zoning Review Section to discuss and agree on methods by which rezoning condition # 19 will be tracked for compliance at the time of housing permit issuance. Please include documentation of agreement with DSD, to the Department of Urban Planning and Design at the time of resubmittal.
Please revise tentative plat to be in compliance with rezoning condition # 21. Please include details building elevations, that include front façade (including roof treatment), shall be carried around to the side and/or rear of units abutting or adjacent to open space or public rights-of-way.
Please revise tentative plat to be in compliance with rezoning condition # 22, which requires that no two adjacent residential units shall have the identical model façade, color scheme, or garage setbacks. The concept of a variety of model types shall be distributed throughout each of the seven proposed neighborhoods to ensure a mixture of physical appearances.
Prior to tentative plat approval, rezoning condition # 28, requires a Desert Tortoise survey to be completed, followed by on-site supervision of site grading if Desert Tortoises are found on-site. Please provide documentation to the Department of Urban Planning and Design that this condition is in compliance, as determined by Leslie Liberti (791-4505), from the Office of Conservation and Sustainable Development (OCSD).

The title block must be in the lower right hand corner of the plat (on each sheet) and must include the name of the subdivision, the number of lots and the common areas, the sections, township and range (Section 9 must be included, since a portion of the subdivision dips down into that section) on sheet 1 as well as sheets 2-20.
Add the interior bearings for the lot lines.
Remove all shading and hatching.
Add square footage for common areas to each sheet and where the areas are separated, provide the square footages for each separate piece.
If there are any questions, please contact Susan King at 740-4391.

A) In general notes, give break down of square footage for common areas A & B
B) Throughout plat, show square footage of individual common areas.
C) Clarify if any other common areas, i.e. recreation areas, are planned and call them out with a separate common area classification in the title block and on the plat.
D) Sheet 2, is the area near lot 3 common area? Difficult to tell with many key lines.
E) Sheet 14, is the area between lots 334 and 335 a common area?

11. Per DS 2-03.2.4.D, show zones around project, including Pima County zoning. List on large index map on sheet one and throughout the plat.

12. Per DS 2-03.2.4.E, clarify if the project will be phased. If so, provide phase lines and calculations for development for each phase and cumulative in phasing to overall development calculations (site coverage, density, etc.) Note, if separate phases, each phase will require a separate final plat submittal.

RCP REVIEW COMMENTS

15. Per LUC RCP-4, the building setbacks required for the units on the perimeter of the subdivision are based upon the adjacent zoning classifications. Staff acknowledges the building setbacks listed, but will determine setbacks based upon adjacent zones in the resubmittal.

16. Per DS 2-10.3.1.B, Provide typical detail drawing for corner lot building setbacks.

17. Per DS 2-10.3.1.C and LUC RCP-4 requirements, the maximum overall site coverage permitted in the R-1 RCP is 50%. The calculations provided indicate 50.38% coverage, which is slightly over the allowed square footage. Revise.

18. Per DS 2-10.3.1.D, 25% of the total lots proposed must have barrier free access from the street to the front door of the unit. Provide note on first sheet which units will be barrier free.

19. Per DS 2-10.3.2.D, any lots under 4000 s.f. require staff to review building plans to determine the models opted can be built on such a small lot. Lot 433 is under 4000.

20. Provide copies of CCRS to ensure that all common areas are maintained.

24. Provide ADTs on all roadway cross-sections.
25. Typical detail 4 shows a sidewalk is missing (acknowledged for Tortoise place) for one side of the street. Staff acknowledges this side of the street would be abounding a desert vegetated common area identified as NROS. The sidewalk exclusion requires a Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR) to be approved. Contact Patricia Gehlen for DSMR review process information. An application can be found under www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd under forms.
26. Though building setbacks will be evaluated once the resubmittal declares the adjacent zones abutting the subdivision, note that the setback, if R-1 as well, is the greater of 10' or ¾ of the height of the exterior building wall, not 10 or 2/3 as noted.
