REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: T07OT02454 (Site Plan) and T07BU02273 (Grading Plan)


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T07OT02454), grading plan (T07BU02273), Drainage Report (O'Neill Engineering, 26OCT07), and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (O'Neill Engineering, 30OCT07) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan, grading plan or Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) at this time. The following items need to be addressed:


SITE PLAN COMMENTS:

1) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.3: Provide the administrative or situs address on the site plan for the subject property.

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.4: Revise the location map to show the subject 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 SP-1, such as major watercourses (Rodeo Wash) and the section corners.

3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to show wheel stop barrier for the parking spaces located along any adjacent landscape areas, fencing 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, fencing and the required pedestrian path. Verify the minimum 15.5-foot parking space dimension at the wheel stop locations shown at the landscape islands within the proposed parking lot. Verify the 2.5-foot overhang along the north property line at the parking space location and proposed wrought iron fence.

4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to remove the existing wrought iron fence from the proposed Parking Area Access Lane (PAAL) entry points located along the southern portion of the proposed parking lot. Dimension the PAAL entries to verify the 24-foot requirement.

5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Verify the PAAL width at the entry gates for the proposed PAAL. Verify that the gate meets the minimum 12-foot opening on both sides of the access aisle, or 20-feet if fire requires access for fire vehicles.

6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Depict and label the 18-feet radii concrete curb returns per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213 and the Transportation Access Management Guidelines (TAMG) at the proposed driveway entrances located on Brittania 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 for street development standards.

7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Verify the 5-foot requirement for the pedestrian circulation path between the existing PAAL and the existing wrought iron fence that connects Brittania Drive to the existing building. The wrought iron fence is not included on the last approved site plan and per the proposed site plan the minimum 5-foot requirement does not appear to be met.

8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Clarify the need for the proposed crosswalk location along the new entry PAAL. Since sidewalks are not proposed it seems that crosswalks would not be needed, clarify.

9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show that all proposed and revised handicap access ramps meet the design requirements per ANSI Standards A117.1-2003 Section 406.13. Provide details or keynotes that label truncated domes at all transitions from pedestrian circulation to vehicular circulation.

10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the proposed stormwater grate and pipe located in the northwest corner of the vehicular use area.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to label the existing grate, storm drain pipe and rock riprap as to be removed. Per the civil sheets these storm drain improvements are to be replaced.

12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to label all rock riprap that is shown in the proposed vehicular use area as to be removed. Rock riprap can not interfere with vehicular circulation as shown on the proposed site plan.

13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.17: Provide estimated cut and fill quantities on the site plan for grading plan purposes.

14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.20: Clarify the new easements that are shown on the proposed site plan. Provide recordation information for all easements that are shown specifically the 15-foot water line easement and the 10-foot electric line easement.

15) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.27: Provide approval for the existing wrought iron fence that is shown on the proposed site plan, per the last approved site plan a wrought iron fence is not included. All fencing, existing or proposed, will require a separate review and approval from all Development Services Departments. Fencing must be constructed entirely on the subject property unless an easement is granted for the maintenance and construction of the proposed and existing fence.

16) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Clarify the relocation of the refuse containers as shown on the proposed site plan. Per the last approved site plan the refuse containers have been moved from what was approved. A new review and detail of the refuse container is required with the relocation to verify that all requirements within DS Sec.6-01 have been met.

17) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Provide a detail on both the Architect site plan and Civil grading plan sheets showing the dimensions for refuse container. Provide the minimum dimensions for the enclosure that meets or exceeds the standards within the attached Figure 3 per DS Sec.6-01 for the required refuse enclosure construction.

19) DS Sec.6-01: Provide a detail on the Civil grading plan sheets showing the dimensions for refuse container. Provide the minimum dimensions for the enclosure that meets or exceeds the standards within the attached Figure 3 per DS Sec.6-01 for the required refuse enclosure construction.

20) Revise sheet C-3 on the grading plan to show 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. Verify the minimum 15.5-foot parking space dimension at the wheel stop locations shown at the landscape islands within the proposed parking lot. Verify the 2.5-foot overhang along the north property line at the parking space location and proposed wrought iron fence.

21) DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C: Depict and label the 18-feet radii concrete curb returns per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213 and the Transportation Access Management Guidelines (TAMG) at the proposed driveway entrances located on Brittania Drive.
