| 03/24/2010 | PAUL MACHADO | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | To: Patricia Gehlen DATE: March 24, 2010 CDRC/Zoning Manager SUBJECT: Escalante Park, 9750 E. Escalante Road Tentative Plat, FLD, S10-006 (First Review) T14S, R15E, Section 35 RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: Tentative Plat and Drainage Report. The Tentative Plat (TP) and Drainage Report (DR) 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 TP. 2. This subdivision is subject to numerous conditions, floodplain and drainage constraints. To develop this parcel in the manner shown, will be become engineering challenge to develop. 3. There is a large amount of bank protection required for the Pantano Wash and Escalante Wash to protect this subdivision in the occurrence of a 100-yr. flood event. A feasibility/cost analysis study for the subdivision is strongly suggested at this point due to the enormous cost associated with the bank protection cost vs. the limited number of lots to be developed and sold. 4. It appears that this is a re-submittal of a previous TP with the City of Tucson activity no. S07-111. The rezoning conditions per the previous TP are still valid. Some of the rezoning conditions and comments that are listed in this comment letter are from the previous TP (S07-111) comments. Some of the old comments may have been updated to reflect today's current standards. 5. The Escalante Wash is labeled as a Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat and an ERZ on the Tucson Department of Transportation maps. The W.A.S.H. ordinance regulations will apply for this wash. A mitigation plan will be required. Contact Patricia Gehland for more information at 837-4919. 6. Show the 50-foot study area (resources area) for parcels subject to the W.A.S.H. Ordinance. (Escalante Wash). 7. Per rezoning condition no. 2: The owner/developer shall design and construct street improvements along the frontage of Escalante Road. These improvements shall include an additional parking lane, curbs, sidewalks and curb access ramps. The owner/developer shall dedicate any additional right-of-way along the site frontage on Escalante Road to accommodate the street improvements being located within the public right of-way. 8. A permit or a private improvement agreement will be necessary for any work performed within the public right-of-way. Contact Permits and Codes at (520) 791-5100 for right-of-way permit information. 9. Per rezoning condition no. 3: The owner/developer shall design and construct bank protection/erosion prevention structure along the Pantano Wash and Escalante Wash as required. It seems that the bank protection shown is not adequate. See DR comments for more information. 10. Per rezoning condition no. 4: The natural area on the site shall include the 100-year floodplain of the Escalante Wash and the portions of the parcel to the east are to be rezoned. These areas shall be platted as natural undisturbed open space (NOUS) and shall be included in the Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CCR's) as NUOS. The NOUS areas are only shown on the cover sheet, the entire NOUS areas to be dedicated per the final plat shall be shown on the TP with metes and bounds also. 11. Per the City of Tucson flood hazard maps, the COT flood hazard area encompassing the Escalante Wash shall be shown on the TP. Also show the EHS for the Escalante Wash per Chapter 26-7 of the floodplain ordinance and per Chapter 7 of the SMDDFM. The flood hazard maps are available on line on the new City of Tucson GIS map at: http://maps.tucsonaz.gov/dsdmain/dsdmain.html 12. The FEMA regulated floodplain limit for the Pantano Wash is not shown correctly per FEMA panel no. 04019C2270K Show the limits of the 100-year floodplain and water surface elevations per D.S. 2-02.2.1.15. 13. Per rezoning condition no. 5: The developer shall evaluate threshold retention alternatives in lieu of providing threshold retention. Water harvesting shall be incorporated into all alternatives. 14. Per rezoning condition no. 6: A trail easement along the Pantano Wash shall be constructed as determined by the City of Tucson Parks and Recreation Department. The dedication of a trail easement will be for public use and will allow for pedestrian and bicycle activity. 15. Per rezoning condition no. 7: The owner/developer shall provide a corridor a minimum of 50 feet wide along the bank of the Pantano Wash as measured from the top of the bank or bank protection, north. This condition affects the buildable areas of the lots on the south side of the subdivision. 16. Per rezoning condition no. 8: The owner/developer shall construct the subject segment of the Pantano River Park, as may be required by the Pima County Parks and Recreation Department for information and requirements. 17. Per rezoning condition no. 17: Amenities within parks/common areas/detention areas shall include park benches and/or picnic tables, barbeques, playground equipment, or similar passive/active equipment that can be used by residents. These areas will be made ADA accessible with a minimum five-foot wide path constructed of either stabilized DG, asphalt, or textured concrete. Show all proposed Amenities on the TP. 18. Please list estimated cut & fill quantities per D.S. 2-02.2.1.17. 19. Additional information on the detail for the bank protection is needed. 20. Add the basin(s) maintenance responsibility note per S.M.D.D.F.M. 2.3.1.6 C 1 and 2 to the TP. 21. Show the 50-foot study area (resources area) for parcels subject to the W.A.S.H. Ordinance. 22. A Stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) is required during Grading plan submittal. 23. Additional comments may be forth coming depending on the changes made to the DR and TP upon the re-submittal of the TP and DR. Drainage Report: 1. Please include a response letter to the comments along with the corrected copies of the DR. 2. This review was performed for Tentative Plat purposes only. 3. Show the existing EHS for the Pantano Wash and the Escalante Wash per Chapter 26-7 of the floodplain ordinance and per Chapter 7 of the SMDDFM. See comment no. 8 above. 4. If the there are plans to change the FEMA flood plain limits, than Please a time table for completing a CLOMR and/or LOMR for the revision to the federally mapped Pantano Wash. This review was done assuming the acceptance of the CLOMR and/or LOMR by FEMA. Should the CLOMR be denied or significantly modified form it's present form, a new review will be required. The CLOMR and/or must obtained prior to the issuance of this permit. 5. The bank protection for the Pantano Wash and Escalante Wash must be constructed up to and beyond the EHS for both washes. A feasibility/cost analysis study for the subdivision is suggested at this point due to the enormous cost associated with the bank protection cost vs. the limited number of lots. 6. There are two depths given by two engineers for the scour depths for the bank protection. Please explain. 7. The equations used to determine the scour depth from the SMDDFM in the DR lack components, data and/or variables needed that must be in order to figure the proper depth. If the depth is determined to be less than 10', the accepted minimum depth for scour protection by the Pima County flood control district for regional watercourses, then 10' will be the min. depth of scour. However the scour protection depth may be significantly deeper since the depth is determined by the invert of the wash or the thalweg. 8. A geotechnical report will be required for the recommendation/determination, but not limited to, the length of the bank protection that reaches the EHS and beyond, soils stability/properties, hydrostatic pressure, percolation rates and weep holes. 9. A permit will be necessary for any work performed within the public drainage way of the Pantano Wash if applicable. 10. A backwater analysis is required at the confluence of the Pantano and Escalante Wash. 11. A recent field visit noticed an earthen channel from the dev. parcel to the East. Discuss and account for this significant amount of water coming onto the sight from the site. 12. Additional comments will be made, depending on the changes made to the DR and TP, upon the re-submittal of the TP and DR. 13. A $150.00 review fee for the Drainage Report is required. 14. Please show the project address on the cover of the Drainage report. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 837-4932 or Paul.Machado@tucsonaz.govs Paul P.

Irvington Road, Tucson, AZ 85714 Post Office Box 711, Tucson, AZ 85702 WR#222299 March 24, 2010 Quilliam Management Services Attn: Alex Kory 590 N. Morley Ave. Nogales, AZ 85621 Dear Alex Kory: SUBJECT: Escalante Greens Lots 1 through 25 S10-006 Tucson Electric Power Company (TEP) has no objection to the preliminary plat submitted for review March 10, 2010. This job will require a primary underground line extension on a loop system because of the amount of new homes being fed. There is hypothetical equipment placed on this tentative plat. The placement of this equipment is subject to change as the platting process proceeds. We may feed from the poles on the north end of the project on the south side of the street. There is however a conflict with the existing overhead lines and poles. Pole (1) appears to be in the turn lane and pole (2) is in the entrance to the subdivision. Engineering will be involved due to the angle in the existing pole line. This will be billable to the developer if relocating or removing any of the existing facilities is required. All monies are to be paid up front and are non refundable. The cost of the line extension to feed this project will be the total footage of all primary and secondary cable utilized, multiplied by $18.00 per foot. This money will also need to be paid up front and is non refundable. We will need a set of approved plans and load plans with a request from the customer for a preliminary layout. 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 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. Also, submit the AutoCAD version of the plat on a CD or email to HNoriega@tep.com. Should you have any questions, please contact me at (520) 917-8709. Any technical questions should be directed to the Designer, Marcus Hayes at 918-8322. Sincerely, Henrietta Noriega Office Specialist Design/Build hn Enclosures cc: City of Tucson (email only) C.

Sheet 2: The terminal reach for the proposed public sewer from MH 7 to MH 6 must be a minimum of 1% slope. 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 or preliminary plat. The fee for the first submittal is $166 plus $50 per sheet.
