| 03/08/2005 | LOREN MAKUS | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: March 11, 2005 TO: Standard Pacific Homes SUBJECT: Miramonte at the River, Grading Plan Review REVIEWER: Loren Makus ACTIVITY NUMBERS: T05BU00221 SUMMARY: The Grading Plan and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan were reviewed by Development Services Department Engineering Division. The Grading Plan, Drainage Report and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) were not approved at this time. Grading Plan comments: 1. Pad grades for several lots along the boundary with Northmanor have been raised from the tentative plat such that the proposed grading is in violation of the fill requirements of the grading development standard. Revise the grading plan to comply with the differential grading requirements of the grading development standard. Fills greater than two feet in depth cannot be placed within the outer 100 feet of the project site where it is adjacent to residential properties. Otherwise the notification (DS 11-01.8.1.A) 2. Revise General Note 18 to indicate that the grading will comply with the City of Tucson Development Standard 11-01.0. 3. Provide notes or other instructions to provide fencing or other means to protect the WASH resource areas. 4. Revise the street details to match the street configuration shown in the plan view. 5. Provide notes or details showing how water harvesting will be maximized in landscape areas and medians. 6. The tentative plat and drainage report indicate that the existing concrete pipe in the Northmanor Wash is to be removed. Provide instructions for its removal and for re-establishment of the channel. Address surface treatment and channel configuration. 7. Provide a pedestrian route across the drainage channel from Belgravia Lane to Northmanor Wash that will be flood-free for up to a 10-year event. 8. Check the proposed elevations for the landscaped basins. The proposed spot elevations along the toe of the basin side slopes vary from 19.0 to 17.0. The drainage report indicates that this is proposed to be a basin that will be about 1.5 feet deep that will overflow into the adjacent wash in a manner approximating the existing sheet flow conditions. Revise the grading plan to conform to the drainage report. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan comments: 9. Part IV.B.2.c Explicitly indicate in the SWPPP the name of the operator with operational control over project specifications (including the ability to make modifications in specifications). 10. Part IV.B.2.c Explicitly indicate in the SWPPP the name of the operator with operational control over day-to-day activities at the construction site. 11. Part IV.C.2.b. In the description of the intended sequence of disturbing activities identify the import of soil and stockpiling activities. If this SWPPP will be used for both stockpiling and grading activities, make it clear within the plan. If the stockpile activities will be covered by a separate SWPPP, indicate within this SWPPP that the stockpile already exists and show how it fits with the proposed project. 12. Part IV.C.3.a. Identify on the site map estimated slopes after grading. 13. Part IV.C.3.b. Identify on the site map areas of soil disturbance Identify on the map areas not to be disturbed. The areas that will not be disturbed include the WASH resource areas of Racetrack Wash. 14. Part IV.C.3.g. Identify on the map locations where stormwater is discharged to a surface water (e.g. ephemeral waters or dry washes) and to MS4. Identify the locations of concentrated flows and storm drains. 15. Part IV.D.4.a. Describe and identify interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site. Document where existing vegetation will be preserved. Clearly identify areas where vegetation is not to be disturbed (WASH resource area, for example). 16. Part IV.D.4.c.i. Maintain records of the dates when major grading activities occurred 17. Part IV.D.4.c.ii. Maintain records of when construction activities cease (temporarily or permanently) 18. Part IV.D.4.c.iii. Maintain records of when stabilization is initiated and completed and any reason for delays 19. Describe how and where a basin or basins with 3600 cubic feet of storage per disturbed acre drained will be used OR, if a sediment basin is not attainable, then provide explanation within SWPPP for why the basins are not attainable. 20. Part IV.D.6. Describe post-construction stormwater management measures. 21. Part IV.D.8.b. Describe measures to ensure that any soil tracked onto adjacent streets will be removed on a regular and frequent basis. 22. Part IV.H.1. Describe routine inspection schedule and procedures to ensure BMPs are functional and SWPPP is being implemented Indicate if the inspection frequency is to be at least once every 7 calendar days OR indicate if the inspection frequency is to be at least once every 14 days and also within 24 hours of the end of each storm event of equal to or greater than 0.5 inches. Revise the inspection schedule to comply with the requirements of the general permit. 23. Part IV.J.1. Each operator must sign the SWPPP using the certification language on page 24 of the general permit. Revise the Grading Plan and prepare a SWPPP to address all of these comments and resubmit three copies of the grading plan and three copies of the SWPPP. If you would like to meet with me to discuss any of these comments please call me at (520) 791-5550 ext. 1161 or email me at loren.makus@tucsonaz.gov. Loren Makus, E.I.T.

| 03/19/2005 | DAVID RIVERA | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | 03/19/05 Development Services Department Zoning Review Section David Rivera Principal Planner Comments: 1. The grading plan has been reviewed by Zoning Review Section but cannot approve the plan until it has been approved by the Engineering, and Landscape Review Sections and until all zoning comments or concerns have been addressed. 2. Zoning could not verify that the grading plan was in compliance with the approved tentative plat. Please submit a copy of the CDRC approved and stamped tentative plat, landscape, and NPPO plans with the next grading plan submittal. 3. Zoning will re-review the grading plan on the next submittal to insure compliance with the CDRC approved tentative plat. Additional comments may be forthcoming. 4. Many of the rezoning conditions are related somehow to the grading and drainage on this site. Please provide a copy of the response letter staing or illustrating how all relevant conditons related to the grading portion of this development have been or will be addressed. |
