The following items need to be addressed: DRAINAGE REPORT COMMENTS: DS Sec.11-01.3.4.1.B: Provide a copy of the original approved drainage report for the site that addresses the 100-year flows, erosion hazard setbacks and the onsite/offsite drainage. This report should address the location of the 100-year flood limits for all flows of 100 cfs or more with 100-year water surface elevations. Water surface contour intervals should also be shown within the channel. A drainage statement may be required in conjunction with the copy of the approved master drainage report. GRADING PLAN COMMENTS: DS Sec.11-01.2.3: A bond shall be posted for native seeding. The bond amount will be determined at $0.05 per square foot. DS Sec.10-01.5.2.6: Be advised that the grading plan must accurately reflect any proposed drainage structures such as but not limited to, culvert and rock riprap blanket design and dimensions as called out in the original drainage report. Provide these details on the grading plan and label the details according to the requirements and dimensions of the original drainage report. Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) requirements are applicable to this project. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and text addressing stormwater controls for all areas affected by construction activities related to this development will be required with the grading plan re-submittal. For further information, visit www.adeq.state.az.us/environ/water/permits/stormwater.html. DS Sec.11-01.16.2: Add a general grading note that states that DSD Engineering Division Inspections are required for initial stormwater controls as well as a grading pre-construction meeting. Show the location of proposed driveway and pedestrian access locations. Note the minimum number of lots that will require barrier free access. Show how all fill and or cut slopes will be stabilized or revegetated in accordance with DS 9-04.3.0 as required by the Tentative Plat. Slopes that are not revegetated must be stabilized with an approved method such as the use of hand placed rip-rap. Stabilization materials must be designed to blend with the surrounding terrain. Provide a note indicating that there will be no disturbance outside of the grading limits. The construction of any walls or any other development outside of the grading limits will require a separate permit. GEOTECHNICAL REPORT COMMENTS: DS Sec.10-01.III.3.5.1.3.a, 10-02.14.2.6: A geotechnical evaluation needs to be submitted for review, addressing the following: a) Soils report should provide conformance with DS Section 10-02.14.2.6 regarding a discussion of potential for hydro-collapsible soils and any recommendation for setbacks from building to natural drainage channel and along the existing natural slope. b) The soils report shall provide identification / assessment of any potentially hazardous geotechnical areas, and state any geotechnical recommendations and whether there are special provisions for the soil preparation for this development. c) Provide slope stability recommendations for any proposed constructed slopes. GENERAL COMMENTS: Please provide a revised grading plan, a revised landscape plan, the original drainage report, and a geotechnical report that address the comments provided above. Include a comprehensive response letter addressing in detail responses to all of the above comments. Further comments may be generated upon resubmittal of the grading plan, landscape plan, drainage report, and geotechnical report reviews.
