SUMMARY: DSD Engineering Division has reviewed the plan set submittal for Grading Plan review, and does not recommend approval until the following items are addressed.

GRADING PLAN COMMENTS:
1) Admin.Dir.1.07-6.III.A: This project shall meet all applicable City Codes, Development Standards, and other City development requirements per this directive.
2) DS Sec.9-04.3.1.B.6: The temporary construction easement appears to be showing a potential for excessive disturbance of the hillside development area, regulatory floodplain, and riparian area, and does not match the Landscape Plan. Address the following:
a) Clarify extents of disturbance area needed to construct project fill pad and erosion protection structures. It is expected that the construction of the erosion protection structures not be built from the wash side; provide construction profile detail showing grading limits at erosion protection structure minimizing disturbance of wash.
b) Revegetation and other permanent sediment and erosion control measures need to be called out for proposed disturbance areas at boundaries of grading limits.
c) A heavy-duty construction fence will be required at the grading boundary in the wash area and within the floodplain.
3) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C.3: On the grading plan, show and label delineation for disturbance area and show limits of grading. Provide dimensioning for clarification.
4) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C.3: Address the following grading comments for sheet 2:
a) Revise extents of erosion protection structure so that the Tucson Water site will be protected from 100- year floodplain scour and erosion.
b) Provide estimates for total disturbance area in square feet on grading plan.
c) Clarify drainage runoff at northeast corner of project; there appears to be ponding. Provide sufficient grading area to provide necessary grading to prevent ponding. Shoe flow arrows to indicate proposed direction of flow at the northeast corner of the site.
d) Label and provide local benchmark with location on plan view, and provide datum.
e) On planview, clarify locations of pavement and gravel areas as specified in General Note 3.
f) Provide clarification with minimum finished grade elevations showing that all structures including hydro-tank foundation is one foot above the regulatory floodplain water surface elevation.
g) Show on planview locations of stabilization practices, and describe or provide details for interim erosion control methods.
5) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C: Add the following general grading notes:
a) Revise General Note 1 to clarify that all grading is to remain within grading limits as shown.
b) All grading shall conform to Development Standards Sections 11-01 and 9-04 and the current IBC.
c) A Right-of-way Use Permit may be required for any earthwork construction within the existing public right-of-way.
d) Add notation or general grading note stating that the location for construction access to site shall be from the proposed driveway only.
e) Any future walls that may need to be constructed require separate building permits.
f) Call 791-5550 for Final Grading inspection.
g) Specify that erosion and sediment controls shall be designed to retain sediment on site to the extent practicable.
h) Specify that when sediment escapes the construction site, offsite accumulations of sediment must be routinely removed and at a frequency sufficient to ensure no adverse effects on water quality.
6) DS Sec.10-02.2.2.5.D: With resubmittal, submit a floodplain use permit application for any general grading for the project where fill and disturbance is proposed in the floodplain. The floodplain use permit will be issued concurrently with the grading permit once it is approved.
7) DS Sec.10-02.2.3: Provide updated drainage report addressing the following:
a) Explain why this site was chosen while the Drainage and Slope Assessment letter dated August 3, 2003 recommends another site.
b) Provide scour calculations for basis of design for erosion protection structure.
c) Provide the encroachment analysis showing assumptions, calculations, and discussion of results.
d) Clarify extents of erosion protection; discuss scour potential at ends of erosion protection structure that does not fully extend to 100-year floodplain limits. Show protection for Tucson Water site so that their site will be protected from floodplain scour and erosion.
e) Provide WSEL at locations upstream and at erosion protection structure adjacent to the project. Establish minimum finished grade elevations for hydro-tank foundation and other equipment pads.
8) DS Sec.11-01.2.3.B: A grading bond shall be posted for native seeding at (or before) issuance of grading permit. The amount of this bond will be determined upon submittal of square footage of disturbance.
9) DS Sec.10-02.14.2.6: Provide a copy of the soils report discussing soil conditions in the wash where the project is located, and potential for hydro-collapsing soils with any recommendations for setbacks from the utility structures.

Address all the above comments. For resubmittal, provide 3 copies of the revised grading plan, a floodplain use permit application, a revised bound drainage report, and if necessary, a revised landscape plan sheet. If you have any questions, call me at 791-5550, extension 2204.
