09/05/2007 JASON GREEN ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied DATE: September 7, 2007
SUBJECT: 7000 S Palo Verde Road Site Plan- 2nd Engineering Review
TO: Rick Engineering Company
LOCATION: T15S R14E Sec16, Ward 5
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: T07CM01386 (Site Plan)


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the revised site plan (T07CM01386) and Drainage Report (Rick Engineering Company, 03APR07 revised 19JUL07) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan application at this time. The drainage report was reviewed for site plan purposes only. The following items need to be addressed:


DRAINAGE REPORT:

1) Provide a revised drainage report and site plan that addresses the revised offsite flows along the north property line. The property (Airport Run Commerce Center) directly north of the subject parcel has a recently approved grading plan with an associated drainage report that shows a difference in how offsite flows enters the subject property. The adjacent properties have designed small retention basin in the southwest corner of each lot that allows stormwater to outlet via a weir system. Low flow bleed pipes are also installed within each basin to prevent ponding water. This project must provide a discuss within the drainage report and show in plan view how the new offsite flow is being accepted along the north property line and being conveyed across the property without causing damage to any proposed construction. A copy of the drainage report and last approved grading plan for Airport Run can be obtained at the Records Department of Development Services Division.


SITE PLAN COMMENTS:

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Label and dimension the minimum PAAL widths and PAAL intersections shown on the site plan. Specifically on Sheet 2 between buildings 2 and 3 along the west side and along the south side of building 2 at the PAAL intersection with the ingress driveway.

3) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.12: Provide the required 5-foot wide sidewalk along the entire street frontage of Palo Verde Road. All new development shall provide 5-foot wide sidewalks along the entire length of street frontage.

4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise cross section A on Sheet 6 to show the minimum pavement structure design for the parking and PAAL areas that is recommended within the proposed geotechnical report. The geotechnical report calls out 3-inch AC over 4-inch ABC. Provide a revised cross section or an addendum to the geotechnical report.

5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Provide a cross section with a detail for the proposed 58-foot ingress/egress driveway. This area is considered a main traffic corridor for this and future phases and the pavement structure design must meet the minimum recommendations within the proposed geotechnical report. The geotechnical report calls out 3.5-inch AC over 4-inch ABC. Provide a revised cross section of an addendum to the geotechnical report. That addresses pavement structure design.

6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the crosswalk location proposed from building 1 to Palo Verde Road. The crosswalk connection must be perpendicular to the proposed PAAL for pedestrian safety. Revise Sheet 3 to correctly call out Keynote (25) location for the proposed scuppers at the eastside of building 1. The keynote is not in the correct location per the pedestrian circulation.

7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.14: Label and dimension the required maneuvering area in plan view for all loading zones that are shown on the site plan. Refer to AASHTO for the national standards for turning radii. Label the minimum inside and outside radii for maneuverability.

8) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.15: Revise Sheet 4 of the site plan to provide the water surface elevations (WSEL) for all cross section locations as shown on Figure 5 in the drainage report. The WSEL must be provided along the entire length of Corona Road as per the drainage report.

9) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.16: Clarify the spot elevations for the basin top, basin bottom and weir elevations shown on Sheet 4. The 'Proposed Drainage Map for Business Park of the Desert' (Figure 5) shows elevations that differ from the proposed site plan and Figure 6 'Localized Drainage Map for Business Park of the Desert'. Revise or clarify the discrepancies.

10) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.16: The property directly north of the subject parcel has an approved grading plan with an associated drainage report that shows a difference in how offsite flows affect this property. The adjacent properties have designed small retention basin in the southwest corner of each lot that allows stormwater to outlet via a weir system. Low flow bleed pipes are also installed within each basin to prevent ponding water. This project must show in plan view how the new offsite flow is being accepted along the north property line and being conveyed across the property without causing damage to any proposed construction. A copy of the drainage report and last approved grading plan for Airport Run can be obtained at the Records Department of Development Services Division.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: It is acknowledge that a screen wall is not required, however the area between the dumpster and the proposed building must have steel bollards installed to protect the building wall from damage related to the trash container.

12) Ds Sec.10-02.14.3.3: The landscape plan (Sheet L4) does not delineate the required 15-foot access ramp that is shown on Sheet 4 of the site plan, revise. Be advised that future phases must de designed to allow access to the basin ramp and provide maneuverability for large trucks into the basin. Basin ramp must be located in a permanent location with Phase I construction.

13) DS Sec.11-01.9: Revise the site plan to provide the required 2-feet setback from all property boundaries to the proposed limits of grading and fill slopes. Revise the site plan to show cross sections along the east and north property lines for the Phase I development to verify the 2-feet setback. Provide in the cross sections the property lines, 2-feet setback, percent slope of landscape area, curbing, parking stalls, PAALs, and building location.

14) DS Sec.2-02.2.2.B: Clearly indicate on the site plan phase lines, this comment was not addressed with this submittal. Show Phase numbers and clearly delineate lines on each sheet of the site plan. Each phase must function independent of future phases, provide development calculations for each phase.

15) DS Sec.2-02.1.2: A base plan is required for all development projects. The response comment did not address the issue of the base plan for the proposed stockpile area. A base plan (site plan showing future development with a clear frame of construction time) is required to show how this portion of the property is to be developed.

16) DS Sec.11-01.2.3.A: It is acknowledge that the stockpile will be hydro-seeded per the grading plan, however a precise time frame is required for the development of this portion of the property. The time frame provided would determine what type of controls will be required for the stockpile. Due to the amount of fill proposed to be stockpiled a bond will be posted for native seeding. If grading construction does not commence within 60 days after grubbing, the disturbed area shall be native seeded within 30 days following the expiration of the 60 day period.

a) Acceptable temporary controls during grading construction and up to the 60 +30 day period of non-activity:
- interim erosion and sediment controls as indicated by standard accepted BMP's
- spray-ons
- unestablished vegetation
- water truck for dust abatement
- daily sweeping of the streets

b) For stockpiles that expect to last longer than a couple of months, the accepted permanent erosion protection shall be in the form of:
- established revegetation
- gravel or rock

17) Per DS Sec.11-01.11.1: The last comment letter was unclear on how this comment was supposed to be addressed. Provide a note on the site plan that states: "The faces of cut and fill slopes shall be prepared and maintained to control against erosion. This control may consist of effective planting. The protection for the slopes shall be installed per the geotechnical recommendations and as soon as practicable and prior to calling for final approval. Where cut slopes are not subject to erosion due to the erosion-resistant character of the materials, such protection may be omitted."

18) Be advised that further comments may be forth coming on resubmittal of the site plan and drainage report.


GRADING PLAN:

19) DS Sec.11-01.2.1: A grading permit will be required for this project due to the cut and fill quantities provided on the site plan. Fill quantities shown exceed the 50 cubic yards so a grading plan and a grading permit application will be required after site plan approval and prior to any construction activity.

20) Please ensure that any future grading plan will be consistent with the site plan and drainage report. Grading standards may be accessed at: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd/DevStandsTOC.pdf

21) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C.4: Provide a General Note on the grading plan stating that all CMU walls and retaining walls will require a separate permit for review and approval by all necessary Development Services Departments.

22) Provide a general note on the grading plan to state the following; "Call for a Pre-construction meeting prior to start of earthwork. To schedule a DSD Pre-construction meeting, SWPPP inspection or general Engineering Inspections, call IVR (740-6970), or schedule with a Customer Service Representative at the Development Services Department, or contact DSD Engineering at 791-5550 extension 2101, or schedule inspections online at: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd/Online_Services/Online_Permits/online_permits.html "

23) Arizona Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (AZPDES) requirements are applicable to this project. Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and text addressing stormwater controls for all areas affected by construction activities related to this development will be required with a grading plan submittal.
