17. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.8 Per LUC Sec. 3.3.3.9 the northern most angled parking space encroaches within the five (5) feet of a vertical line intersecting the structure of the billboard. This area cannot be used for parking. Per LUC Sec. 3.5.4.26.B the parking area access shall not be located under, or within five feet of a vertical line intersecting the structure of the billboard.

18. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.8 It appears that the proposed loading space is located with in the far side sight visibility triangle (SVT's). Per D.S. 3-01.5.1.A.1 this loading space is not allowed within the SVT.

22. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.11 Until the angle for the angled parking is provided the minimum width for the one-way PAAL cannot be verified. Additional comments may be forth coming.

23. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Per D.S. 2-08.4.1.C a four (4) foot sidewalk is required along the west side of building 'A'.

24. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Per D.S. 2-08.4.1.B a four (4) foot sidewalk is required along the east side of building 'B'. Per D.S. 2-08.5.1.C this sidewalk cannot be asphalt.

25. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Clarify if the "EXIST. CONCRETE" called out along the north side of both buildings is raised sidewalk. If this is raised sidewalk then accessible access ramps are require with truncated domes.

27. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Per D.S. 2-08.4.1.A At least one (1) sidewalk will be provided to this project from Speedway Blvd. The proposed 4' wide stripped access which runs from the "EXIST. CONCRETE" located along the north side of building 'A' should be relocated to the east end of the loading zone for safety reasons. If cross access is granted to the property to the east, see comment #5, the striped crosswalk can be utilized. If there is no vehicle access to the property to the east then a 4' sidewalk is required. At present this sidewalk would be required to run to the north property line due to the fact that there are no sidewalks along Speedway Blvd. in this area. The future site plan shows a sidewalk and curb along Speedway Blvd., this sidewalk would be required to connect to the future sidewalk along Speedway Blvd. The sidewalk and curb shown on the future plan is shown incorrectly, see engineering comments.

28. D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12 Detectable warnings (truncated domes) will be required at all curb access ramps or at any area where the sidewalk is flush with the asphalt. ICC/ANSI A117.1-2003 Sec. 406.13

RESUBMITTAL OF THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED: Revised site plan and additional requested documents
02/20/2007 STEVE SHIELDS ZONING HC SITE REVIEW Denied See Zoning Comments
02/21/2007 PATRICIA GILBERT ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied DATE: February 27, 2007
ACTIVITY NUMBER: T07CM00295
PROJECT NAME: Kayo Signs
PROJECT ADDRESS: 5732 East Speedway Blvd.
PROJECT REVIEWER: Patricia Gilbert, Engineering Associate

The following items must be revised or added to the site plan. Please include a response letter with the next submittal that states how all comments have been addressed.

RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: SITE PLAN

1. The site plan shows the project was drawn at a 1" = 20' scale, this appears to be incorrect. Please revise to show the correct scale. DS 2-02.2.1.A.1.

2. Provide a location map which meets the minimum requirements of D.S. 2-05.2.1.D, show the subject property approximately centered in the one (1) square mile area, identify conditions within the square mile area, such as major streets and watercourses. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.4. See zoning's comment number 8.

3. Provide bearings for the lot dimensions. DS 2-02.2.1.A.5.

4. Provide existing and future sight visibility triangles for the entrance/exit drive to Speedway Blvd. The near side length is 345' and the far side length is 125'. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

5. There must be a clear line of site from 30" to 72" within a sight visibility triangle. The existing near side SVT shows a parking space within the SVT. Revise the site plan to show a clear line of site with the existing near side SVT. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

6. Please see zoning comment number 21 in addition to the following; if two way access is being utilized along the south property line, the 15' does not meet the minimum requirement of two way travel. If this is one way travel provide the direction of travel on the plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

7. In addition to the above comment the PAAL between building B and the diagonal parking spaces also appears to be one way. The minimum width of a one way travel lane is 12' unless it serves as a fire lane. Please clarify in the response letter and revise the plan accordingly. DS 3-05.2.1.C.1.

8. Vehicular maneuverability for the loading space appears to be not accessible to the loading space. It is not clear how the vehicle/truck will enter and exit from the loading space. If the travel lane is one way the vehicle as it egresses will go against the one way travel lane, which imposes a safety hazard. Provide on the plan view the inside and outside radius for a single unit truck accessing the loading space. For a 30' single unit truck the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials require a 28' inside radius and a 42' outside radius. Revise the site plan to show the minimum radii and vehicular maneuverability for the loading space. DS 2-02.2.1.A14.

9. It has been brought to the attention of this office a loading space is required for the bill board. Be advised vehicular maneuverability will be required for the required loading space for the bill board. DS 2-02.2.1.A14.

10. Sidewalks must be physically separated from any vehicular travel lane by means of a curb, grade separation, barriers, railings, or other means. It is not clear if there is a grade separation for the existing concrete located north of building A. Clarify on the plan view. DS 2-08.4.1.

11. Dimension the existing concrete located on the north side of building A. DS 2-02.2.1.A.12.

12. A sidewalk will be provided adjacent to any parking space accessed by a PAAL where the space is located on the same side of the PAAL as any building and no other parking spaces or PAALs intervene. Provide a 4' sidewalk along the west side of building 'A' and along the south side of building 'B'. DS 2-08.4.1.C.

13. A minimum setback distance of five (5) feet for a pedestrian refuge area must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. The refuge area may have a roof for shade, provided it contains a sidewalk and pedestrian access which is unobstructed and is set back one (1) foot from the PAAL. Sidewalk is required within the pedestrian refuge area. Provide a 4' sidewalk and 5' pedestrian refuge between existing drive and building 'B'. Revise plan as necessary. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 and DS 2-08.4.1.B.

14. Provide general drainage patterns, finish floor elevations and finish grades. DS 2-02.2.1.A.16.

15. Show the drainage of drainage on the roof of each structure. DS 2-02.2.1.A.16.

16. Sidewalks must be flood free for up to the 10-yr. event. Add a note on the plan, "All roof down spouts on all structures must be routed under any adjacent sidewalk." Be aware that if roof drainage is directed over a sidewalk, scuppers may be required. DS 2-08.4.1.E.

17. It is acknowledged by this office the site is existing, and cut and fill quantities probably equal zero, however this is a requirement to show on the plan the estimated cut and fill quantities. Include on the site plan estimated cut and fill quantities. If cut and fill quantities equal zero, please note on the plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.17.

18. Dimension from street centerline of Speedway Blvd to the future curb and future sidewalk location. The future face of curb is measured 9' from the future ROW line. DS 2-02.2.1.A.19.

19. From the street centerline of Speedway Blvd measure to the front of existing curb to depict the pavement width. DS 2-02.2.1.A.21.

20. If applicable show graphically any other easements that pertain to this site on the plan view. DS 2-02.2.1.A.20.

21. Provide existing topographic contours and/or spot elevations and Bench Mark based on the City of Tucson Datum, include book and page number. DS 2-02.2.1.A.23.

22. Show the location of the future curb and sidewalk on the Future ROW Plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.19.

23. Commercial establishments are required to provide on site refuse storage, collection and pick up areas. Solid waste storage has not been provided. Revise the site plan to show refuse storage. Indicate refuse container location, size and access thereto fully dimensioned. Demonstrate vehicle maneuverability fully dimensioned. Be aware refuse vehicles require 36' inside radius and 50' outside radius. D.S. 6-01.4.

24. Please note that subsequent comments may be necessary upon resubmittal, depending on the nature and extent of revisions that occur to the plans.
