| 08/14/2006 | JASON GREEN | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: August 14, 2006 SUBJECT: 219 S Olsen Ave- Tenant Improvement Storage TO: David Shambach LOCATION: T14S R14E Sec17, Ward 1 REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM ACTIVITY: T06CM03456 (Site Plan) and T06OT01941 (Floodplain Use Permit) SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the Site Plan (T06CM03456), Floodplain Use Permit (T06OT01941), the submitted cost estimate, and the submitted appraisal for the tenant improvement for the above referenced property and does not recommend approval of the Site Plan or Floodplain Use Permit at this time. The subject property is located within a mapped Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), Zone AH, as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM), Community-Panel No. 040073-04019C-2227K, effective date February 8, 1999. Review of 1988 aerial photography depicts a different structure than what is currently there. Also review of the submitted appraisal shows that the existing building was constructed in the 1990's. Any development within a FEMA SFHA after 1983 requires a Floodplain Use Permit and an elevation certificate to show that the lowest finished floor of the structure is elevated to the Regulatory Flood Elevation (RFE), 1-foot above the calculated Base Flood Elevation (BFE). In order to help you permit the addition we will need the following information from you. 1) Provide a copy of the elevation certificate, filled out by an Arizona Registered Professional Land Surveyor, that was issued for the building construction showing that the lowest finished floor of the storage building is elevated to the RFE. If a copy can not be located please have an Arizona Registered Professional Land Surveyor complete the elevation certificate that is enclosed. The elevation certificate must be returned to this office prior to site plan approval. The calculated BFE for the existing structure is 2444.4' National Geodetic Vertical Datum (NGVD) and the RFE is 2445.4' NGVD. 2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.4: Revise the location map to show the parcel location approximately centered within a one square mile area. Identify conditions within the square mile area shown on the project location map located on Sheet A1, such as subdivisions, major streets, and major watercourses. Reference recorded subdivision plats by book and page numbers. 3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.10: Provide existing sight visibility triangles (SVT) in plan view. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.5.1 for requirements and dimensions for SVT. Parking spaces, signs, landscape and walls will not be approved within the future right-of-way. Provide a note on the site plan to state no structures and vegetation is allowed within 30" to 72" in height and will not be placed within the sight visibility triangles. Although this site is a nonconformance structure under the LUC it is recommended that since a new parking area is being constructed the following items be addressed for future expansion: 4) DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C: Revise the site plan to the label 18' radii concrete curbs per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213) at the Olsen Ave driveway egress and ingress. The curbs must be constructed at the edge of pavement, which must also be depicted on the site plan. 5) DS Sec.3-01.3.3.A: Revise the site plan to show the required 5-foot wide sidewalk with curb along the street frontage of Olsen Ave. 6) DS Sec.3-01.2.7 A: Revise the site plan to reflect handicap access ramps with truncated domes. Please refer to this standard and the figures for additional street design requirements, including curb access ramps, utilities, landscaping, etc. 7) DS Sec.3-05.2.2.2.D: Revise the back-up spur provided at the end of the PAAL. The spur must be a minimum of 3 feet in depth with a 3-foot radii, but must also provide a minimum of 3 feet between the back of spur and any wall obstruction that is over 6 inches in height. 8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Provide the location and dimensions for refuse container, the enclosure must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between steel pipes that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. Or provide a letter from John Clark, Environmental Services stating that the existing refuse collection is acceptable. Refer to DS Sec.6-01.4.2 for specifications and requirements on access, placement of containers, bin enclosure and construction. Show maneuverability for refuse vehicles in plan view. 9) Provide water-harvesting areas, depressed 6-inches, shown in plan view to provide for onsite drainage. Refer to the City of Tucson Water Harvesting Guidance Manual, Ordinance # 10210, for recommendation on how to construct and maintain the required water harvesting areas. If the elevation certificate provided does not show the lowest finished floor elevated to the RFE then the entire structure must be elevated and a separate elevation certificate will be required to show that the structure is in compliance with Chapter 26 of the City of Tucson Code or the structure must be flood-proofed in conformance with Chapter 26, Section 26-4 of the Code If the structure is elevated to the proper RFE then the improvements to the existing structure are considered a substantial improvement to an existing floodprone structure if the value of the new improvement is 50% or more than the assessed/appraised value of the existing structure. The cost estimate provided with the submitted appraisal shows that the improvements to the existing structure is 22.3% of the appraised value of the structure, excluding land value. Cumulative values shall be accounted for the building structure, so that tracking of the 50% status is current. No person shall repair or alter property in a piecemeal manner so as to avoid the provisions of Section 26-4.1.a.3, Chapter 26-Floodplain and Erosion Hazard Management. GENERAL COMMENTS: Please be advised that since the subject property is currently located within a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area then it will be required that an elevation certificate for the existing structure be filled out by an Arizona Registered Land Surveyor showing that the lowest finished floor of the proposed addition and the service facilities are elevated to or above the RFE, and returned to our office. Please provide a revised site plan, the completed elevation certificate and the last approved site plan that address the comments provided above. Include a comprehensive response letter addressing in detail responses to all of the above comments. If you have any questions, or to schedule a meeting, I can be reached at 791-5550, extension 1189.
