| 08/14/2006 | PATRICIA GILBERT | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: August 21, 2006 ACTIVITY NUMBER: T06CM01434 PROJECT NAME: Aloft Hotel PROJECT ADDRESS: 1900 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. Submit the redlined plans for reference with the third submittal. RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: SITE PLAN 1. The request was made for future ROW dimensions for Speedway Blvd and Campbell Ave and the response to the request is the intersection is fully improved. Because the future ROW dimensions per the MS&R Plan are different than what currently exists at the intersection written verification from the Department of Transportation is requested. Contact either Jose Orates P.E. or Vince Catalano of the Traffic Engineering Division of the Department of Transportation to get written verification that the intersection of Speedway Blvd and Campbell Ave is fully improved and will not change. Be advised the following comments below regarding the ROW may or may not apply depending on the Department of Transportation's response. The ROW information on the plan must be clear, as to width of pavement, dimensions from centerline to the curb and sidewalk and to identify if the curb and sidewalk is existing, future or both. 2. Clarify the construction (street) centerline of Speedway Blvd. The leader points to the property line on the north side of Speedway Blvd. Revise appropriately. 3. Indicate the street centerline of Campbell Avenue. This is the second request. 4. Appropriate ROW labels are still required to be shown on the site plan even when the ROW is built out to the future ROW width or is not going to change from as the right way exists today. For Campbell Ave. and Speedway Blvd show and label both existing and future ROW dimensions from street centerline the width of pavement, the curb and sidewalk location. If the ROW dimensions for the paving width, curb and sidewalk location are coincident label both existing and future. DS 2-02.2.1.A.21. 5. Provide a far side site visibility triangles (SVT) for Norris Avenue (stem side) and 1st Street (through-street side). The length is 110'.DS 2-02.2.1.A.10., DS 3-01 figure 16. 6. The proposed maneuverability for the loading zone is through the alley. Because of this SVTs are required. This office acknowledges the offsite building to the south is within the clear line of sight, however the requirement to show the near side SVT still applies. Provide a near side SVT for the alley to Campbell Avenue. The length is 340'. Label appropriately. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10. 7. Per LUC 3.4.4.1. loading zones are to be located on the same site or lot as the use the serve. The alley separates the loading area to the lot that uses the loading space. Revise the site plan to show the loading zone on the lot that is using the loading space. It is recommended to explore purchasing the alley and creating one lot. 8. The alley (Public ROW) is being used as access for the loading zone. Per LUC 3.4.4.2. when an alley is used for access to a loading space a minimum width of 20' is required. The width of the alley is 16' and 18'. The current proposal does not meet the minimum requirement. Revise the site plan to meet this requirement or relocate the loading zone. Demonstrate vehicle maneuverability to the loading zones. 9. Show on the plan the location of keynote 21 (power pole relocation to underground). 10. Clarify if the alley is used for one way access. The Zoning Review comment 3.G. from 5.18.06 requested a one way no access sign to be posted at the access point from Campbell Avenue. The sign has not been provided. Two way access must provide 24'. One way access must provide 20'. The response to this comment was the alley is not being used for access. The alley is being for access for the vehicles using the loading space. Clarify on the plan the direction of travel and provide appropriate signage. 11. If the alley is being used for an exit to Campbell Avenue provide a 25' curb return. TAMG 5.5. 12. The site plan is used for inspection purposes by the Engineering Inspectors on a construction site. They need specific grading information to verify existing and proposed drainage patterns. It is acknowledged and as a plans reviewer I concur, that providing grading information on a site plan can clutter up the site plan and pertinent site information can be lost. I requested a reference on the site plan via general note that the required vertical, drainage information can be found on the grading plan. Often on the construction site sheets are separated and a general note on the site plan referencing drainage/grade information to the grading plan assists the Engineering inspector to find pertinent information for inspection purposes. Please add the requested general note referencing the grading plan for existing and proposed drainage and grade information. 13. On sheet 2 of 8, keynote 3 depicts ADA curb access ramps. Keynote 3 is shown on the north side of the structure in the middle of a 4' sidewalk where handicap ramps are not indicated. Clarify and/or revise the site plan appropriately. 14. Keynote 5 indicates a 4' sidewalk, which is shown in various places around the structure. 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. The 5' pedestrian refuge area is not being met on the west side of the structure. It appears there is an overhang (solid bold line) from the structure but it is not clear. Clarify on the site plan if there is roof overhang that allows the 5' pedestrian refuge area. If there is not a 5' pedestrian refuge area revise the plan to show a 5' pedestrian refuge area with a 4' sidewalk. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 15. On sheet 2, keynote 4 references to see solid waste detail on sheet 1. The solid waste detail is not on sheet 1, it is found on 6 (detail H). Revise the keynote to indicate the correct location of the solid waste enclosure. 16. When PAALs are used for access for refuse collection a minimum of an 18' radius is required at all PAAL intersections. Revise the site plan to show 18' radius in the landscape islands at all PAAL intersections. Be aware of the solid waste vehicle turning radius; inside radius of 36' and an outside radius of 50'. Revise and label radius appropriately. 17. Indicate the width of the existing sidewalk along 1st Street. DS 2-02.2.1.A.21. 18. Dimension from street centerline of Norris Avenue and 1st Street to the existing curb and sidewalk. DS 2-02.2.1.A.21. 19. Indicate truncated domes and ADA complaint ramps for the transition of the sidewalk crossing the alley along Norris Ave. |
| 09/12/2006 | HEATHER THRALL | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | TO: Development Services Department Plans Coordination Office FROM: Heather Thrall Senior Planner PROJECT: T06CM01434 1900 E. Speedway Boulevard New Hotel Building Site Plan TRANSMITTAL DATE: September 12, 2006 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. Per DS 2-02.2.1.8, with regards to parking: Per this review - A) per LUC 3.3.7.2, the minimum depth of a parking space is 18.7 for a 45 degree angle with a PAAL 13' wide -the plan shows 18.5, please review and revise to 3.3.7.2. 2. (Last review) Per DS 2-02.2.1.20, Provide cross access/parking agreements. Response stated the area is part of this project. Please provide parking lease agreements for the parking lot across the alley (in the event ownership changes, need to have them). Note, staff strongly recommends pursuing the vacation of the alley. If the alley is vacated, a lot combination should be done to make this development one site. 3. (Last review) Provide written confirmation that continued use of easement in right of way for underground parking garage is permitted. Contact Transportation Department. Response is given that the plans are being submitted to TDOT for review, thank you. Understood, comment will remain until TDOT advisement issued. 4. (This review) Per DS 2-02.2.1.20 and DS 2-08 on pedestrian access areas: A) Remove striped crosswalk area along loading zones (safety issue) B) Make pedestrian connection from south parking lot to hotel site by: 1 - from sidewalk on south parking lot, provide crosswalk leading directly across alley 2 - provide sidewalk along south side of building to connect to new cross walk 3 - provide handicapped ramps and truncated domes where applicable at crossings 5. (Per last/current review) Remove access aisles from behind handicapped parking spaces, a parking space should not be backing over an identified access aisle. Response indicates the access aisles are removed. Thank you. There remains one more issue, the cross-walk proposed is at an angle which would also allow vehicles to back into it at an unsafe approach. Please provide a sidewalk connection from both Campbell and Speedway - perhaps relocating handicapped parking to allow the access aisles to function as part of the circulation from each street front. Cross walks should have truncated domes at the area where they transition from pedestrian to vehicular use area - and provide handicapped ramps where needed. 6. (Per last/current review) Loading zones: Per this review, staff apologizes for the delay in advisement for the following loading zone review comment. Per LUC 3.4.4.1, The loading zone must be provided on the same site or lot of which use they serve. Contiguous lots are required to be considered a site. Staff understands a letter is being submitted to the Zoning Administrator seeking an official determination on this issue. Please note that the comment will remain until an official determination has been made on this matter. Please note, should there be an approval on the loading zone location across the alley, we should have it demonstrated on the plan the maneuvering capability of each loading zone. 7. (this review) Please dimension the back up spur at the west parking lot along the hotel building. Note, parking spaces appear to be compromised by the dumpster, and the dumpster should be separated from the parking spaces by at least 6' feet to allow back up maneuvering. Please review and revise. 8. (Per this review) Clarify if there is a lot line reconfiguration pending for the land the loading zones are on - or if it's a lease. This land is owned by a separate entity, which would have to allow a reconfiguration of their land, and a plan should be reviewed showing how their site would meet code requirements as well - parking, Floor Area Ratio, loading, - all per the plan approved for that development. If it is a lot line adjustment with ownership change, a combination of the parking lot and the loading zone lot is required. Please note, a lot combination is still needed for the hotel site - all three lots. Provide combination form, covenants and recordation receipt ( these forms are on our website at www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd under forms) 9. Depending upon the responses provided, further review comments may be forthcoming. Should you have questions on this review, please contact me via email at Heather.Thrall@tucsonaz.gov or at 791-5608x1156. Please note, the redlines for the first submittal were not submitted with this project, thus further comments may be forthcoming. If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call (520) 791-5608.
