| 02/23/2004 | Patricia Gilbert | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: February 25, 2004 ACTIVITY NUMBER: T03CM05653 PROJECT NAME: Site: Car Lot PROJECT ADDRESS: 3427 East Speedway Blvd. PROJECT REVIEWER: Patricia Gilbert, Engineering Associate The following items must be revised or added to the site plan. Please include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed. RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: SITE PLAN 1. January 2nd 2004, Comment number 1: The lot dimensions are unclear. Is the parcel to the north included in the site? If the north parcel is not part of the site, remove from the site plan. Is the parcel being split or combined? If the lot is being reconfigured this must be approved prior to site plan approval. Clearly define the lot dimensions on the site plan and only include the parcel under review. DS 2-02.2.1.A.5. The above comment was not addressed. Engineering can not review the site, as two separate sites. Given that a lot reconfiguration is not going to take place for this site, Engineering is required to review the entire site. If zoning determines that the entire site is full code compliance, additional comments maybe forthcoming. For this review I am reviewing only the south portion of the site that is being called out as a car sales lot. DS 2-02.2.1.A.5. 2. January 2nd 2004, Comment number 10: A minimum setback distance of five (5) feet for a pedestrian refuge area must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. The refuge area may have a roof for shade, provided it contains a sidewalk and pedestrian access which is unobstructed and is set back one (1) foot from the PAAL. Sidewalk is required adjacent and parallel to any PAAL on the side where buildings are located. Provide a sidewalk and pedestrian refuge between existing drive and existing structure. Revise plan as necessary. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 and DS 2-08.4.1.B. The above comment was not addressed. It is unclear if it is a 5' of pedestrian refuge with 4' of sidewalk. Clearly indicate on the site plan that the above comment from January 2nd has been addressed. Dimension the 5' pedestrian refuge and the 4' sidewalk. 3. Is there a roof overhang on the existing structure? Is the 22' dimension depicting a roof overhang? Or is the structure 25' in width? Clearly depict and label the dimensions of the structure on the plan. If there is a roof overhang depict a different line type or hatch the area that is a roof overhang. 4. There is a 50' and 41" dimension for the PAAL east of the existing structure. What is the width of the PAAL, 41' or 50'? Clarify the dimension. 5. The access to the proposed solid waste enclosure location is not approvable by the standards found in 6-01. Solid waste enclosures are required to be in a location where the service vehicle can safely access the enclosure. The service vehicle at the proposed location hits/comes into the dimensioned parking spaces on the west side and the east side of the site. This is not a clear, safe approach. The backup distance exceeds 40'. The maximum backup distance is 40'. For current location of the solid waste enclosure a Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR) is required. 6. January 2nd 2004, Comment number 8: At least one (1) sidewalk will be provided to a project from each street on which the project has frontage. Sidewalks must connect all areas of the development and must also connect to the pedestrian circulation path located in any adjacent street. Revise plan as necessary DS 2-08.4.1.A. The above comment was not addressed. It is not clear if the called out pedestrian circulation has a sidewalk or not. Is there a sidewalk? A sidewalk is required. Revise the plan accordingly. Label and depict the sidewalk. 7. Keynote number 12 calls out a new wall. How tall is this wall? Depict the size of the wall on the plan and keynote. 8. From review of an aerial photo it appears that there are walls and/or fences that are not depicted on the plan. Specifically on the eastside of the property. Clarify the discrepancy. 9. The current drainage statement is not sufficient. Address the on to off site drainage. Where is the drainage patterns? 10. The proposed fill quantities seem unrealistic. 10 cubic yards of fill is proposed for the entire site. At the proposed grade break there is a grade difference of approximately 3' to 2.5' from the existing grades. Check the calculations of the fill quantities for accuracy. 11. To determine if the structure is going to flood more grades are needed to determine the drainage. Give more existing and proposed grades around the existing structure to clarify the drainage of the site. 12. Show contours and/or spot elevations for the adjacent properties. DS 2-02.2.1.A.23. 13. Give the calculations for the amount for flow going through the wall opening located at the north wall (keynote 18). Is the wall opening sufficient for the amount of flow going through this wall opening? Give the calculations for the wall opening. |

DSC TRANSMITTAL FROM: David Rivera Senior Planner FOR: Patricia Gehlen Principal Planner PROJECT: T03CM05653 Auto Sales Lot 3427 E. Speedway Boulevard Site Plan Transmittal date: 2nd Review March 18, 2004 COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed. 1. The legal description does not match the proposed development area. The legal description for parcel two does not describe any portion of the site to be developed. Revise the legal description as required. In addition if a lot reconfiguration is proposed, a separate lot split/reconfiguration application and a 54-dollar fee will be required prior to approval of this site plan. Approval of the lot reconfiguration will be contingent upon the existing uses on the property meeting LUC and D.S. criteria requirements. In order to ascertain whether the existing uses on the property meet code requirements, all existing uses as well as code related data for each use must be listed on the plan. Additional comments may forthcoming based on the subsequent site plan submittal and proposed lot reconfiguration. DS 2-02.2.1.A.2 2. All text height must be a minimum of 12 point (.12). The text used for the street names on the location map must be adjusted to 12 point. Adjust as required. The location map must be drawn at a scale of "three inches equals one mile". The location map must include the major street names, section corners, and the project location shown and labeled. The section Township and Range must be listed under the location map along with the north arrow and scale of the map. DS 2-02.2.1.A.4 3. If a lot reconfiguration is proposed and is approved by the City of Tucson, a new legal description will be required and the new distance and bearings must be labeled. DS 2-02.2.1.A.5 4. All existing structures must be dimensioned, the use for each building listed, the building setbacks labeled, and building heights listed. DS 2-02.2.1.A.6 and .7 5. Based on the building square footage and the proposed site area as reconfigured, this site is to be provided with a minimum of four (4) vehicle parking spaces for customer use. Of the four vehicle-parking spaces one (1) space must be a van handicap space with an eight (8) foot wide access aisle. Under the parking calculations text block 25 vehicle parking spaces have been listed as provided. It is necessary to indicate on the plan which spaces are to be reserved for the customers and which spaces are to be used for displaying the vehicles that will be for sale. The spaces that are to be used for the parking and displaying the vehicles that are for sale do not count towards the number of required parking spaces. All vehicular use areas must meet the requirements for two way traffic (24 feet wide) and required back up spurs. Label the width of all PAAL areas. The minimum width for two-way traffic is 24 feet. Back-up spurs are required at the end of row of parking, where the row of parking ends at the property line, three (3) places on this site. DS 2-02.2.1.A.8 6. A minimum of two (2) class two (2) bicycle-parking spaces is required for this project. A keynote has been listed on the indicating bicycle parking, but the type of rack; number of bicycle the rack supports was not listed. A fully dimensioned detail drawing must be added to the plan that clearly demonstrates that the facility meets all requirements as listed in Development Standards 2-09. The detail must include the name (type) of rack, number of bicycles supported by the rack, must be fully dimensioned, the type of surfacing, and lighting proposed if applicable. See the "sample" bicycle-parking detail drawing attached to the redlined sheet. List under the parking calculation text block the number bicycle parking spaces required and provided. Indicate that all are class two (2) spaces. Also, when the bicycle parking facility is not visible from the street frontage, directional signage that directs the bicyclist to the facility will be provided. DS 2-02.2.1.A.9 The bicycle parking facility must be located in area that is not within the vehicular use area or must be physically separated by providing a raised pad or barriers to keep vehicles from accidentally damaging the facility and bicycles. 7. Speedway Boulevard is a major street that has a projected future right-of-way widening of 120 feet with a 60-foot half right-of-way. The future curb location will be constructed nine (9) feet from the future right-of-way line. The existing and future sight visibility triangles must be shown and labeled. The existing and future pedestrian sight triangle must also be shown. See Development Standards 3-01. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10 8. Although the location of the proposed sidewalk is acceptable as shown on the plan all pedestrian sidewalks must be physically separated from the vehicular use areas. The sidewalk must be raised or some form of barrier must be provided between the sidewalk and parking spaces along the northwest and back-up spur area on the west side of the site to keep the vehicles from overhanging over the sidewalk. A five (5) foot pedestrian refuge area with a four (4) foot sidewalk is required along the east side of the building and must connect to the on site pedestrian circulation. The sidewalk must be physically separated from the vehicular use area. See Development Standards 2-08.4 and 3-05 for more information of sidewalk and refuge area requirements. DS 2-02.2.1.A.12 9. Labeled the size and type of sign proposed. The location of the proposed sign will encroach into the future sight visibility triangle. In order to allow the sign in the proposed location as shown the plan a DSMR application and approval will be required or the sign must be relocated out of the triangle. If the owner decides to apply for the DSMR a separate review and approval will be made by the CDRC committee. The fee for the DSMR is $615.00 and in these types of cases the DSMR will be supported with a condition that the sign is relocated outside the sight visibility triangle at time of Speedway Boulevard roadway widening. Relocate the sign outside the future sight visibility triangle or indicate in your response letter if an application for a DSMR will be made. In addition to the proposed signage, all existing signs or billboards must be shown and labeled on the drawing. DS 2-02.2.1.A.13 10. Add the street name "Cody Street". DS 2-02.2.1.A.18 11. The existing and future right-of-way dimensions must be labeled on the site plan. The location of the existing and future curb and sidewalks must be shown, dimensioned and labeled for Speedway Boulevard. The same information must be added for "Cody Street". DS 2-02.2.1.A.19 12. If applicable all existing or proposed easements of record must be shown and labeled. The purpose, width, and recordation information must be indicated for each easement. Additional comments may be forthcoming on subsequent site plan submittal based on the response comments and drawing revisions. DS 2-02.2.1.A.20 13. List the existing and proposed uses. The proposed use is to be listed as "Vehicle Rental and Sales DD '31', Subject to LUC sections 3.5.9.5.A and .B". DS 2-02.2.1.A.31 14. The subsequent submittal must be accompanied by a landscape plan. See Landscape Reviewer comments with regards to the required Landscape and NPPO plan requirements. DS 2-02.2.1.C 15. As stated in comment one, this development is proposed over the south parcel and a portion of the north parcel. The parcel on the north has existing uses that have not been defined on this plan. The subsequent plan must include drawing, calculations, and required data code info for the existing uses on the north parcel. By reconfiguring the lot lines the required calculations such as building setbacks, floor area ratios, lot coverage, density etc could be affected and must be addressed. It is important to provide an accurate drawing of the existing uses and information. Additional comments will be forthcoming based on the subsequent submittal. Add a Land Use Code Data text block that lists all the relevant data for the proposed use and existing uses. See Development Standards 2-02.2.2.A.1 - .6 16. When the proposed site is part of a larger site, the calculations encompass the entire site, whether existing or proposed. If the project is being phased, calculations must show that, at each phase, requirements are being met. DS 2-02.2.2.B If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call David Rivera, (520) 791-5608.
