| 06/18/2007 | ELIZABETH EBERBACH | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | TO: Paul Iezzi, PE, RICK Engineering SUBJECT: Mission Hill (S05-023) Grading Plan Re-submittal Engineering Review LOCATION: T14S R13E Section 22, 1602 W 33RD ST REVIEWER: Elizabeth Eberbach ACTIVITY NUMBER: T05BU02399 / T07BU00743 SUMMARY: Please submit revised grading plan resubmittals under the same activity number - use T07BU00743 for this project. The revised Grading Plan, a copy of the Tentative Plat currently in review, Drainage Report, and response letter for some comments were reviewed by Engineering. The grading plan cannot be approved unless it is in conformance with an approved tentative plat. Engineering does not recommend approval of the Grading Plan at this time. The Drainage Report was reviewed for Grading Plan purposes only. DRAINAGE REPORT COMMENTS: The following comments were not addressed and were noted as being addressed with Tentative Plat submittal. 1) City of Tucson Development Standards (DS) Section No.2-03.5.2: The grading plan cannot be approved unless it is in conformance with an approved tentative plat. Due to the amount of remaining comments from the Tentative Plat review, further grading comments may be forthcoming. There are disturbance areas that need approval based on the overlay and Tentative Plat approvals. It is important that all Tentative Plat comments be addressed prior to resubmittal of the grading plan. 2) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.4.G, 2-03.2.4.L.4&6: Regarding the San Juan Wash Zone AE FEMA floodplain which is partially on this project, and depending on approval of disturbance area, address the following: a) Clarify minimum finished floor or pad elevations for FEMA floodplain crossing lots 14-28. b) A Floodplain Use permit may be required depending on location of jurisdictional floodplain shown on the approved Tentative Plat. If so, add a general grading note that a floodplain use permit will be required for the fill for the lots and for the street improvements 3) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.5.C: Provide proposed bleeder pipe calculation and/or elevations at flap gate as shown in detail L/4, with discussion in drainage report for whether the bleed pipe will be higher than the 100-year WSEL in the San Juan Wash. 4) The proposed designs must meet SCZ and ERZ requirements. If the structures are approved, a drainage maintenance or construction easement will be needed at the south side of the project for those areas of drainage structures that are proposed outside of the property boundaries, including the flap-gated pipe outlet. Show and label associated easements. If the structure(s) are not approved, show revised design. 5) Land Use Code Section (LUC) 2.8.2.2: This project is within the Scenic Corridor Zone where drainageways are to be maintained in their natural state, and slopes no steeper than 3:1(H:V) are acceptable. Natural state includes both vegetative and topographic characteristics of the existing terrain. Grading for drainage improvements must be designed in such a way to maintain the topographic consistency of the area. Two basins are located within the 400-ft scenic corridor; if these basins are seen from the scenic corridor then they need to comply with the natural characteristics of the site. Discuss in the drainage report or other report for the SCZ submittal how a revised natural grading design will accommodate drainage, and show on grading planviews how natural grading design for basins and channels will be achieved. 6) For the spillway outlet of basin B-1, concentrated developed flows need to return to pre-developed flow conditions at project boundary. Provide design for permanent erosion protection For the spillway outlet of basin B-1. GRADING PLAN COMMENTS: 7) Label dimensions for minimum distances from basins to building foundations and other structures on plan views and details. 8) Depict building foundations on sections and lot grading details. Clarify that flow does not flow toward building foundations. Depict and dimension swale locations on these details. 9) Dimension erosion protection for spillway for detail E/3. 10) DS Sec.9-04.2.1.G & 9-04.2.2: Submit HDZ calculations so that DSD may determine HDZ review applicability. Please use the equations listed in these sections of the standards, and provide the following data on the plan: the average cross slope, the slope analysis with 15% areas shown per these sections, the percent disturbed allowed and the percent disturbed proposed. 11) DS Sec.2-03.2.4.L.4: In order to show feasibility of the RCP lots on this HDZ and SCZ site. Address the following grading comments: a) Per LUC Sec.3.7.5.2.E: Exposed cuts or fills within the 400 foot scenic corridor shall be no greater than 3:1(H:V). Address the following: i) Areas with proposed grade changes that exceed 3:1(H:V) such as rear of 4-8. Revise extents for the location of slope shown on planview and provide cross section. ii) Provide sewer rim data and provide a cross section from lot 5 (pad=2397.3) to street to lot 41 (pad=2397.8) b) Regarding cross sections: i) Provide sections for San Jose Drive and San Raphael Avenue. ii) Clarify section K/3. Show existing grades and: (1) label existing sidewalk / dimension or proposed 6-ft MS&R sidewalk and grades for Mission Road, (2) identify and label existing slope to remain, (3) show and dimension proposed grading between 3:1(H:V) and pad for lot 1. iii) Clarify cross section K/3 to show existing and proposed elevations along the east side of lot 1 and clarify drainage (show side swale) along the east side of lot 1. iv) At the northeast corner of lot 1, the spot elevation 93 appears to meet road grades but is in conflict with the lot grading (contour 95); clarify this area. v) Provide additional details and cross sections for the cut at both sides of the entrance area. c) The typical lot grading detail will help to show conformance with the geotechnical recommendations and other restrictions including setbacks. Address the typical lot grading detail comments: i) Clarify distances for minimum setbacks from building to show appropriate area for drainage swales, mechanical equipment, A/C units, slope setbacks for screen walls, slope run-outs, and general access. The minimum horizontal setback shall conform to the geotechnical report recommendations. ii) On plan view, provide the invert elevation at the scupper entrances to Basin B-1. iii) Provide spot elevations along bottom and top of basin areas that reflect a minimum of 1% slopes within basin bottom for positive drainage. iv) If the grading does not conform to the geotechnical recommendations, it will be necessary to have the geotechnical engineer review the grading plan details including the typical lot grading details for setbacks and locations of lot drainage swales. 12) DS Sec.2-03.2.3.C: Provide copy of title report with next submittal to compare easement information. 13) Add the following as general grading notes to help facilitate finalizing and inspections for the grading permit: a) If grading construction is expected to last longer than the expiration date of the grading permit, contact DSD to renew/extend the Grading Permit. If Final Grading Inspection has not been completed before the Grading Permit expires, and the permit has not been renewed, additional fees and reviews may be required. b) Call for Pre-construction meeting.
