3. Label each detention basin's 100-year water surface elevation and limits of ponding (DS 2-02.2.1 A 15). The Drainage Report and Site Plan show conflicting information on the number of basins and the location of the basins. Verify that the 6" water harvest area is large enough to accommodate the generated onsite runoff, and clarify with a statement in the Drainage Report.
4. Depict drainage patterns and finished grades (see Grading comments below for grading information).
5. Assure all easements are graphically shown on the plan with recording information provided (DS 2-02.2.1 A 20).
6. Depict and label 25' radii concrete headers per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213) at the Benson Highway driveway entrance, and 18' radii headers at the Treat Ave. entrance. The headers should be constructed at the edge of pavement, which must also be depicted on the plan (DS 2-02.2.1 A 21, 3-01.3.2 C & 3-05.2.1 C 3 a).
8. The curb and 6' sidewalk must be shown and labeled on the Site Plan along the right of way of Benson Hwy.
9. Depict scuppers where any site drainage may be concentrated, for conveyance of 10-year flows (min.) under sidewalk areas, if applicable (DS 2-08.5.1 E & DS 3-01.4.4 F). Show the low points were storm water runoff enters the water harvest area.
10. Provide a note on the site plan stating that, (a) the owner or owners shall be solely responsible for 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 detention/retention facilities at lease once each year, and that these regular inspection reports 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 scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities are being performed adequately; and (d) that the owner or owners agree to reimburse the City for any and all costs associated with the maintaining of the drainage and detention/retention facilities, should the City find the owner or owners deficient in their obligation to adequately operate and maintain their facilities" (DS 10-02.0, Section 14.3.2).
