| 08/27/2007 | JASON GREEN | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: August 28, 2007 SUBJECT: 3141 W Ironwood Hill Dr Site Plan- Engineering Review TO: Metro Permits Express Attn: Lisa Bowers LOCATION: T14S R13E Sec05 Ward 1 REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM ACTIVITY: T07CM02890 (Site Plan) and T07BU01479 (Grading Plan) SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T07CM02890), grading plan (T07BU01479), and Drainage Report (DOWL Engineers, 06JUN07) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan or grading plan application at this time. The following items need to be addressed: SITE PLAN COMMENTS: Provide all information associates with the site plan content on one sheet. The submittal package includes two site plans, one stamped by an architect and one stamped by the civil engineer. The information provided on both plans needs to be combined for one overall site plan document. Engineering tried to review both sheet for conformance, but could not verify if all the information was included because of the back and forth review, Sheet C1.0 was reviewed for Engineering requirements. 1) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.4: Verify 12-point font for the project location map on Sheet C1.0. The location map on Sheet g2.0 does not conform to the location map requirements. 2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Verify that the site plan shows wheel stop barrier for the parking spaces located along any adjacent landscape areas and/or pedestrian circulation paths. The barriers are to be set at 15.5-feet to accommodate the required 2.5-foot overhang to prevent encroachment or damage to the proposed landscape area and the required clear 4-foot pedestrian path. 3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Verify on the site plan the PAAL intersection from existing to proposed. Sheet C1.0 shows a separation with curbing which does not agree with Sheet g2.0. 4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Depict and label the 25-feet radii concrete curbs per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213) at the driveway entrance off of Ironwood Hill Drive. The curbs should be constructed at the edge of pavement, which must also be depicted on the site plan. Curb returns must be constructed entirely within the subject parcel. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C and the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for street development standards. 5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Depict and label the 18-feet radii concrete curbs per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213) at the driveway entrances off of Cosby Avenue. The curbs should be constructed at the edge of pavement, which must also be depicted on the site plan. Curb returns must be constructed entirely within the subject parcel. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C and the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for street development standards. 6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Verify with dimensions that all PAALs meet the minimum width requirement of 24-feet, specifically at all PAAL curvatures and PAAL intersections. 7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Verify on the site plan, with a dimension, the minimum setback from any existing light pole, fire hydrants, catch basins, etc for the proposed driveway entrance. Refer to the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for minimum setback requirements for the driveway. 8) DS 3-05.2.2.B.3: Provide the required 2-foot separation from the PAAL to the property line and the CMU wall on the south portion of the property. 9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Verify that all handicap access ramps meet the design requirements per ANSI Standards A117.1-2003 Section 406.13. The location of the truncated domes must be at the transition of the pedestrian circulation to vehicular circulation for all existing and proposed ramps. 10) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.12: Provide the required 6-foot wide sidewalk along the street frontage of Ironwood Hills Drive. Provide a dimension on the site plan to show the 6-foot width. Per the adopted Mayor and Counsel policy all sidewalks along MS&R right-of-ways for arterial and collector streets require 6-foot wide sidewalks. If a sidewalk already exist along the frontage of Ironwood Hill Drive provide photo documentation showing that the existing sidewalk is in good condition. If the sidewalk is missing in spots or is cracked and buckled a new 6-foot sidewalk will be required. 11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Provide the required 5-foot sidewalk along the street frontage of Cosby Avenue. All new development requires a new 5-foot sidewalk per DS Sec.3-01.3.3.A. 12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show the required pedestrian circulation path that is required from the proposed vehicular use area along the southern portion of the lot to the proposed buildings. 13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to provide the required pedestrian circulation path from the proposed and existing building to the refuse enclosure located in the east vehicular use area. All transitions from vehicular use to pedestrian use areas must have truncated domes. 14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.17: A grading plan application has been submitted for this project due to the cut and fill quantities shown on Sheet C1.1. The grading plan can not be approved prior to site plan approval. 15) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Provide the recordation information for the right-of-way on Cosby Avenue as dimensioned on the site plan. 16) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan to label the shown right-of-way as dimensioned on the site plan for Ironwood Hill Drive as existing and/or future. 17) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan to label Ironwood Hill Drive as an "MS&R Road and a Scenic Corridor." 18) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.A.20: Verify that all existing and proposed easements are drawn with recordation information, location, width, and purpose of on the site plan. 19) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.A.21: Provide dimensions from the street monument lines to the existing and/or proposed curb, sidewalk, driveway and any utility lines. 20) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Revise the trash enclosure location and/or site plan to show the required 14-foot x 40-foot clear approach for all refuse container locations.
