ACTIVITY NUMBER: T03CM04472
T15S, R14E, Section 8

SUMMARY: Engineering Division has reviewed the drainage Report, Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan, Grading and Site plans received on September 12, 2003. Approval of the Site Plan may not occur prior to drainage report approval, and is not recommended at this time. The following comments are offered:

SITE and GRADING PLAN:
1. Depict and label future site visibility triangles in accordance with the City of Tucson's Development Standards - DS 2-02.2.1.10;
2. Depict the limits of the 100-year floodplain and water surface elevation on the plan (DS 2-02.2.1.15);
3. Provide estimated cut and fill quantities (DS 2-02.2.1.17);
4. Clearly depict the existing right of way for Ganley and Bilby Roads. The Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) right of way depicted for Tucson Boulevard and Bilby Road do not correspond with widths provided on the MS&R plan. Please revise accordingly and ensure intersection widening is depicted clearly on the plan (DS2-02.2.1.19);
5. Identify and label the drainage channel and structure(s) located on the northwest corner of the site. Identify whether this area is dedicated as a drainage easement, public or private. An easement may (DS 2-02.2.1.20)
6. The proposed dumpster locations do not appear to be accessible as depicted. Demonstrate the proposed containers are accessible, with maneuverability fully labeled and dimensioned. A clear approach of 14' by 40' must be demonstrated, in addition to the other access requirements outlined in section 6-01.0 (DS 2-02.2.1.32 and 6-01.0);
7. Provide a note stating (a) that the owner or owners shall be solely responsible for the operation, maintenance, and liability for drainage structures and detention basins; (b) that the owner or owners shall have an Arizona registered Professional Civil Engineer prepare a certified inspection report for the drainage and retention/detention facilities at least once a year, and that these report will be on file with the owner for review by City staff, upon written request; (c) that City staff may periodically inspect the drainage and retention/detention facilities to verify that maintenance activities are being performed adequately; and (d) that the owner(s) agree to reimburse the City for any and all costs associated with maintaining said facilities, should the City find the owner(s) deficient in their obligation to adequately operate and maintain their facilities (SMDDFM, sec. 14.3.3);
8. Call out concrete headers at the driveway returns on Ganley Road, per Pima County/City of Tucson (PC/COT) Standard Detail 213;
9. Provide General Grading Notes and clearly identify the limits of grading on sheet C2;
10. Please note that additional site and grading comments may be necessary upon resubmittal, should necessary changes warrant such.

DRAINAGE REPORT

1. Please see Site Plan comment #4 regarding the City's MS&R plan intersection widening requirements. No structures may be constructed within the MS&R (future) right of way, as proposed with this submittal;
2. The report must address the Tucson Department of Transportation (TDOT) mapped watercourse, which appears to convey regulatory flow on Bilby Road;
3. The proposed bleed-off of the required threshold retention volume may not be approved as proposed. Direct discharge to a public right of way may not be permitted. Please provide percolation test results with the resubmittal. Testing shall be performed in accordance with the recommended procedure of the Pima County Department of Transportation - Flood Control District;
4. Specify the name, address and telephone number of the person(s), firms(s), agency or agencies responsible for the ownership, operation, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance and liability of the drainage improvements, drainageways, detention basins, etc., described in the report, in accordance with the City of Tucson's Standards Manual for Drainage Design and Floodplain Management (SMDDFM, Section 2.3.1.2 E);
5. Provide a detailed Detention/Retention basin maintenance checklist and schedule, and basin performance criteria for annual and as-needed inspections of the basins and drainageways, addressing the items specified in the SMDDFM (sections 2.3.1.6 C 1& 2 and 14.3);
6. Discuss and provide maintenance access ramps, in accordance with section 14.3.4 (SMDDFM, Section 14.3);
7. Please add a note to section A-A, Figure 4 (Onsite Drainage Plan), or provide an additional detail to clarify whether 1 or 2 RCP's will be used along the western perimeter drainage structures (see the 12' and 8.5' inlet weir callout notes to section AA);
8. Please utilize an appropriate runoff coefficient for existing conditions retention volume calculations. Values must be utilized from table 3.4 of the Pima County/City of Tucson's Stormwater Retention/Detention Manual (100 % pervious cover - existing)
9. The encroachment analysis does not appear to extend far enough onto the subject property to accurately determine the limits of flooding. Please extend the section further north to determine such;
10. Provide retention/detention basin details with elevations and dimensions fully labeled, in the report (SMDDFM, sec. 2.3.1.6 A 4 a, d & e);
11. Revise watershed area A (CP1) existing conditions weighted runoff coefficient and basin factor to reflect the values provide in tables 4.2 and 4.3 of the SMDDFM (DS 10-02.0);
12. Please discuss proposed finish floor elevations significantly lower than adjacent water surface elevations in Ganley and Bilby Roads (see comment 6, above);
13. Provide retention basin percolation test results. Test procedures shall be performed in accordance with the recommended procedure of the Pima County Department of Transportation - Flood Control District. At the time of building permit submittal, a soils report addressing the items listed in section 14.2.6 (SMDDFM) will be required to be submitted;
14. Please correct the word "post-developed " to read "pre-developed" in the last sentence on page 9;

10/08/2003 LOREN MAKUS SANITATION REVIEW Denied See Engineering folder comments
10/13/2003 Joseph Linville LANDSCAPE REVIEW Denied 1) Per DS 10-01.4.3.1 (p. 78), "Continuous uniform slopes shall not exceed 20% of the basin perimeter". Revise the plans to incorporate variations to add visual interest.

Also revise the basins to include smooth curves for transitions from slopes to level ground at the top and bottom of basins.

2) Ensure that the type and location of plantings proposed for retention basins complies with LUC 3.7.4.3.A which states "Plants located in the bottom one-third (1/3) of the detention/retention basin must be adaptable to periods of submersion." Revise the plans as necessary.

3) Per DS 10-01.4.3.1(p.77), "slope grading should achieve a balance between engineering functions, multi-use factors, and visual attractiveness. To that end a limitation has been established on p.79 which indicates that retaining walls are acceptable for up to 35% of the basin perimeter. The plans should be revised to more closely align with the standard.

4) The landscape plans include a native seed mix, indicate on the plans where this will be utilized.
