Resubmittal Required: Traffic Engineering does not recommend approval of the Tentative Plat; therefore a revised Tentative Plat is required for re-submittal.

The following items must be revised or added to the plat.

1. Include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed.

2. 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.

3. Dimension width of paving, curbs, curb cuts and sidewalks. (DS 2-05.2.2.D)

4. The access point from Placita Los Suenos to Tucson Blvd shall have 18' radius curb returns. (DS 3-01.0 figure 6)

5. If applicable, dimension the width of all ingress/egress points (Tucson City Code, Chapter 25, section 39 & 40)

6. Tucson City Code Chapter 25 Section 38 requires a minimum driveway separation of 12' including offsets from the proposed driveways to each of the proposed 20' pavement easement access point.

7. Sheet two calls out for a 10' pavement easement but measures 20'. Revise sheet accordingly.

8. Confirm that lots 6-8 will not access either 20' pavement access easement. A one-foot no access easement maybe required ensuring that these lots do not access 20' pavement easement.

9. Verify access points for lots 3 and 12.

Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has reviewed the tentative plat dated November 24, 2006. This Company is unable to approve the plat at this time. Existing overhead pole line along Tucson Blvd. should be shown on the plat. Pole unit 128 may be in the might be in drive way. Will probably be fed from poles unit 127 and 129 within the road Right-of-Way.

There are existing electrical facilities within the boundaries of the development. The facilities along with the easement recording information must be shown on the plat prior to approval. If an existing easement is not found add a dimensioned easement by prescription and a general note that the facilities will be abandoned. All relocation costs will be billable to the developer. Please direct questions concerning easement(s) to Liza Castillo, Right-of-Way Agent in our Land Department at 520-917-8745.

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.

TRANSMITTAL DATE: December 13, 2006

DUE DATE: December 22, 2006

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

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 November 24, 2007.

2. Case number S06-250 has been assigned to this tentative plat (TP). Please place this number in the right corner of all sheets of the TP, landscape plan, NPPO, and any other associated sheets.
DS 2-03.2.2.B.1

3. Please add to the subject to portion of general note 4 the LUC Sec. 3.5.7.1.E. & F.
DS 2-03.2.2.B.5 & LUC 2.3.4.2.A.3

4. Please draw all existing easements on the plan along with recordation information, location, width, and purpose. If an easement is no longer in use and scheduled to be vacated or has been abandoned, so indicate. If none exist provide response to reviewer's comments. Also if easements are purposed please draw, dimension and label as to their purpose and whether they will be public or private. If none exist provide response to reviewer's comments.
DS 2-05.2.3.B & DS 2-05.2.4.G

5. The rights-of-way and/or pavement widths for internal ways, streets, roads, alleys, or other means of vehicle circulation shall be conformance to DS 3-01.0 and include sidewalks connecting to all units. Please provide a cross-section of the twenty (20) foot access easements to lots 1 & 2 and 12 & 13, that demonstrate compliance. Engineering will determine the type of the cross section required and if it will require a DSMR.
LUC 3.6.1.4.G

6. Please correct the zoning designation R-2 northeast of the project site to R-1. Label adjacent properties to the north, south, and west as R-1.
DS 2-03.2.4.D

7. Please indicate on the tentative plat if access for lots 3 and 11 is from Tucson Boulevard.

8. The lot typicals provided are a bit confusing. In addition to the lot typicals, listing the required setbacks would be helpful, i.e. Perimeter yard setback from R-1 zoned property - greater of 10 feet or 3/4 height.
a) The configuration of the subdivision is different since there appears not to be a rear street situation as shown to the north on the lot typicals. These should be removed as they do not depict an accurate situation.
b) Those units fronting Tucson Boulevard would be required to use established area setbacks (20 feet or 1 and 1/2 height of exterior building wall, 37.5 feet based on maximum height provided on plat) unless the applicant can provide show that the sight meets the definition as provided for in the LUC. For those lots where Tucson Boulevard would be the side street the established area setback would be ten (10) feet. To be able to use developing area setbacks along Tucson Boulevard less than fifty (50) percent of the linear frontage of all properties, excluding alleys and drainageways, located on the same side of the street and within the same block as the project site is developed.
c) Verification that the cross-section for Tucson Boulevard can support on street parking.
d) Additional typicals are to be provided for lots 1, 2, 12, and 13 and a typical for lots fronting on Tucson Boulevard.

10. Please provide a detail as to how barrier-free accessibility will be accomplished. Barrier-free access, as applied under this criterion, is access from a street and/or parking space to the front door on the unit.
DS 2-10.3.1.D

11. The project is within the boundaries of the Northside Area Plan. Please submit plans as to how the RCP will comply with design requirements of the Northside Area Plan as required by LUC Sec. 3.6.1.4.A.1. This submittal will also include drawings, photographs, or a combination of both, showing how the architectural compatibility requirements as required by LUC Sec. 3.6.1.4.A.3 are met.

Subject: Los Suenos
Lots 1-13 and Common Areas "A" & "B"
Tentative Plat - 1st Submittal
S06-250

The proposed sewer collection lines for 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.

1. This project will be tributary to the Roger Road Wastewater Treatment Facility via the South Rillito - Central Interceptor. Obtain a letter from the PCWMD's Development Services Section, written within the past 90 days, stating that treatment and conveyance system capacity for the project is available in the downstream public sewerage system and provide a copy of that letter to this office. The required form to request such a letter may be found at:

http://www.pima.gov/wwm/forms/docs/CapResponseRequest.pdf.

The for this project cannot be approved until a copy of this letter has been received by this office.

2. All Sheets: Add the subdivision case number, S06-250, to the title block of each sheet. This number should be shown larger or bolder than any cross reference numbers. No wastewater review fees will be charged for sheets where this is the only required revision.

3. Sheet 1: Revise General Note #15 so that it states:

THE ON-SITE SANITARY SEWAGE COLLECTION LINES WILL BE PUBLIC AND DESIGNED AND CONSTRUCTED TO PIMA COUNTY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT STANDARDS AND MUST BE ACCEPTED AND RELEASED FOR SERVICE BY THE PIMA COUNTY WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF SEWER CONNECTION PERMITS.
4. Sheet 1: Delete General Note #17.

5. Sheet 1: Delete General Note #26.

6. Sheets 1 & 2: You are showing the easements labeled differently on these two sheets. Revise the labels for the two easements, on the two sheets, so that they are the same, and say something like:

20' PRIVATE INGRESS, EGRESS, PUBLIC SEWER AND UTILITY EASEMENT, BY FINAL PLAT.

7. Sheet 2: Revise the site plan to show:

The lot numbers and common areas in the adjacent subdivision, Lanterra Subdivision, shaded as existing.

8. Sheet 2: All adjacent public sewer assets, located in Lanterra and the 48" interceptor sewer, are not shown or identified on this plan. Revise the site plan so that:

All public sewer elements (manholes and sewer mains), that are located less than 100' from this project, are identified with the wastewater plan and IMS numbers.

9. Sheet 2: Public sewers are normally centered within the public sewer easements and we prefer that the easements be located on the least number of parcels, with the pipe and manholes as far from the lot /easement lines as they are deep. After consulting with PCWMD - Development Services Section staff, it was decided that we will accept the 20' sewer easement centered on the lot line if the pipe and manholes are offset no more then 2.5' from the property line/easement centerline. Revise the design so that:

The public sewer laterals are located 7.5', or more, away from the easement boundary.

10. Sheet 2: Per PCWMD Design Standards, the minimum pipe slope for terminal reaches of public sewer is 1.00%. Revise the plan so that:

Slopes and Inverts are adjusted in the terminal sewer reaches to meet the minimum design standards or provide a copy of a PCWMD approved variance to the standards. The contact person to apply for a variance is Mr. Peter Mulvey, P.E., PCWMD, Systems Management Division - Engineering.

11. Sheet 2: You are proposing the construction of an 8" sewer, crossing over the 48" South Rillito - Central Interceptor and connecting by manhole to an existing 8" sewer. Demonstrate that this connection is practicable by revising the site plan so that:

The invert elevations of the existing 48" pipe and the proposed 8" pipe are displayed at the location of the sewer crossing over the sewer.

12. Sheet 3: Revise cross sections A and B so that: The existing and proposed underground utilities, sewer and water, are shown in the cross section views.

13. This office will require a revised set of bluelines, and a response letter, addressing these comments. Additional comments may be made during the review of these documents.

Pima County Code Title 13.20.030.A.2 requires that a wastewater review fee be paid for each submittal of the tentative plat. The fee for the first submittal is $166 plus $50 per sheet. For the second submittal, the review fee is $50 per sheet. For all subsequent submittals, the review fee is $39 per sheet.

The next submittal of this project will be the second (2nd) submittal. A check for the review fee of this submittal in the amount of $150.00 (made out to PIMA COUNTY TREASURER) must accompany the revised set of bluelines and response letter.

If the number of sheets changes, please adjust the review fee accordingly.

If you have any questions regarding the above mentioned comments, please contact me at the telephone number shown under my signature on the first page of this letter

The comments below are based on the following policy direction:

GP policies promote neighborhood identity and visual character, as well as quality in design for residential development (Element 4, Community Character and Design, Policies 5 and 6). Supporting Policy 5.3 supports infill projects that reflect sensitivity to site and neighborhood conditions and adhere to relevant site and architectural design guidelines. Supporting Policy 6.1 promotes development that … protects the integrity of existing neighborhoods, complements adjacent land uses, … and enhances the visual quality of the … community. Supporting Policy 6.2 supports residential development that enhances the quality of life for residents by incorporating safe … design. The NAP Tucson-Prince Subarea design guidelines encourage the architectural design of buildings, colors and landscaping to conform to a southwestern motif.

2) Please place a note on the plans indicating that buildings on lots 1, 7, 11, 12 and 13 shall be restricted to a single story.

3) Homes that front on Placita Los Suenos shall have varied building elevations, so that the front façade is not repetitious along the length of the street.

4) Homes that front on Placita Los Suenos shall have a varied primary exterior color, such that all homes are not the same color.

5) Homes visible from Tucson Boulevard shall be designed so that the elevations along Tucson Boulevard shall have a level of architectural detail similar to that on the front elevation.

6) Walls along Tucson Boulevard that form a continuous screen of 75 feet or more in length shall be graffiti-resistant, and incorporate one or more visually appealing design treatments, such as the use of two or more decorative materials like stucco, tile, stone or brick; a visually interesting design on the wall surface; a varied wall alignment (jog, curve, notch, setback, etc.); and/or trees or shrubs in voids created by the wall variations. Please provide a wall detail on the plat indicating the design and graffiti-resistant treatments.
