| 05/15/2007 | JOE LINVILLE | LANDSCAPE | REVIEW | Denied | The Landscape Section does not recommend approval of the application. 1) Per LUC 2.8.2.13 Grading. No grading can occur until thirty (30) days prior to construction. Construction plans must be in the review process for permits, or construction permits must have already been issued. Grading permits are to cover only those areas for which building permits are granted. The proposal to grade the site is not in compliance with the section. The proposal is not in compliance with the purpose, intent, and specific regulations of this Scenic Corridor Zone regulations. 2) Within the regulatory floodplain development shall not "unnecessarily alter riparian habitats of watercourse and adjacent bank areas". Explain why the alteration of riparian habitat is necessary. Submit a Plant Habitat Inventory that documents the location riparian habitat. See the following link for plan preparation and mitigation guidelines: http://dot.tucsonaz.gov/stormwater/downloads/washguidetoM_C.pdf The native plant preservation plans do not provide the required information for plants smaller than 4' caliper size and does not provide mitigation in accordance with the WASH Guidelines in effect at the date of application. 3) Per LUC 2.8.2.6.A, "No grading beyond that necessary for siting of buildings, parking, private yards, and structural improvements will be allowed. Provide an explanation for why grading is necessary as the site indicates no new improvements. 4) Revise the native plant preservation calculations to match in each instance and revise as necessary to provide a planting plan in conformance with the calculations. DS 2-15.3.4.B 5) HDZ requirements apply. Revise the HDZ notes to comply with the applicable Hillside Development Zone Site Improvement Standard, DS 9-04. and revise the plans to meet the revegetation requirements. A revegetation plan will be required if the proposed fill is approved. Add the following notes: All cut or fill slopes which are no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical (3:1) and all utility trenches or septic leaching fields which are not located in parking or driveway areas will be revegetated in compliance with the following requirements. 1. All plants used in revegetation must be the same as the native vegetation on the site or any adjacent site prior to grading or clearing. 2. Revegetation will be accomplished with the following minimum requirements for plants. a. Desert trees, a minimum of fifteen (15) gallon size with a minimum trunk diameter of two (2) inches measured at the soil level, or large specimen cactus will be placed at the same vegetation density found on the site prior to any clearing, grubbing, or grading. b. Seeds for trees, desert shrubs, and grasses will be planted with a density adequate to control erosion and may use one of the following methods of planting or any other method approved by the Zoning Review Section at DSD. 1) Raked into the soil with appropriate mulch materials; 2) Hydroseeding; 3) Anchored mulches; or 4) Established on jute, rolled straw, or similar material. A temporary watering system must be installed until the revegetation materials are established. 6) Per LUC 3.7.5.2.D.2, "within the SCZ, excluding the Scenic Routes buffer area, all disturbed areas on the site that are visible from the Scenic Route and are not covered by permanent improvements shall be revegetated with native plants, plants from the Drought Tolerant Plant List, or a combination of both. Provide a plan to revegetate disturbed portions of the site. Visible from the Scenic Route is defined in LUC 6.2.22 as "Not blocked from view by buildings, structures, or natural features from the Scenic Routes. An object is considered visible whenever it can be seen, not blocked by an intervening structure or terrain, from four (4) feet above the natural grade at the future right-of-way line along the parcel". The existing vegetation, much of it rated as non viable in the Native Plant Preservation Plan, is not sufficient to block the view. |
