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. Site plan will not be approved until Lot Combination recordation is complete with Pima County. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.2

2. Revise the location map to show the sections correctly. See zoning comment number 7 for more detail. D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.4.

3. All lettering and dimensions will be the equivalent of twelve point or greater in size. The purpose of this requirement is to assure that the lettering is legible when reproduced or microfilmed for record keeping purposes. Some of the current font measures to 10 point, it must be at least 12 point or greater in size. Revise all lettering to be at least 12 point.

4. The information provided on the plan is difficult to read. It is recommended to provide a site plan at the same scale as the landscape plan for better legibility.

5. The minimum width of two feet (2'-0") must be maintained between all PAALs and any property line (DS 3-05.2.2.B.3). Please dimension the two-foot separation between the west property line and the PAAL. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

6. Provide existing and future sight visibility triangles (SVT) at both entrance/exit drives. For an arterial road the near side length is 345' and the far side length is 125'. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

7. A minimum setback distance of five (5) feet for a pedestrian refuge area must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. Sidewalk is required within the five-foot pedestrian refuge area. Provide a 4' sidewalk within a 5' pedestrian refuge between the west side of the building and the 20' PAAL. Revise plan as necessary. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 and DS 2-08.4.1.B.

8. In addition to the above requirement show on the plan view a 4' sidewalk is within the 5' walkway located on the north and south side of the building. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1

9. Dimension the sidewalk that leads to the sidewalk within the ROW. DS 2-02.2.1.A.12.

10. A minimum distance of 1' must be maintained between an awning and a PAAL. This requirement has not been shown on the site plan. Revise the plan to show the 1' setback between the awning and the PAAL. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1.

11. Detectable warnings (truncated domes) will be required at all curb access ramps or at any area where the sidewalk is flush with the asphalt. It does not appear this requirement has been met. Show on the plan view compliance with this requirement and provide a detail. ICC/ANSIA117. 1-2003 Sec. 406.13, D.S. 2-02.A.2.1.12.

12. Clearly indicate on the plan view that the sidewalk ramps within the ROW have detectable warnings. DS 2-02.2.1.A.12.

20. It is not clear if the recordation data for the drainage easement is for the existing easement or the abandonment. Clarify. Be advised the site plan will not be approved until the recordation data of the abandonment is provided on the site plan. DS 2-02.2.1.A.20.

21. In addition to the above comment the purpose of the easement is not clear on the site plan. The drainage report "Bantam Estates" discusses off-site drainage that is conveyed to the north to Bantam Road. However the site plan does not show the 100-year discharge, which should be shown on the site plan. It is also not clear why the easement needs to be abandoned. Discussion must be provided in the drainage statement on why the easement needs to be abandoned and what will happen to the off-site flow. The drainage statement must discuss that the removal of the easement will not create an adverse impact on adjacent properties. The site plan must depict the discussion provided in the drainage statement. Be advised the City of Tucson will have to agree this abandonment is acceptable. If the City of Tucson finds the abandonment acceptable the property owners to the south and the Bantam Homeowners association must also accept the drainage easement abandonment. This must be documented in writing, signatures from the property owners and notarized.

22. If applicable provide on the site plan any other easement that effects the property. Provide recordation data, indicate whether public or private, dimension and label as to purpose. DS 2-02.2.1.A.20.

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

DRAINAGE REPORT COMMENTS

1. Provide the on-site proposed drainage map for the "Drainage Report for Bantam Estates."

2. The third paragraph on page one is not clear. The paragraph states the off-site flow impacts the site but does not encroach onto the property. Clarify this paragraph.

3. The third paragraph discusses shallow drainage channels however this is not shown on the site plan. Show on the site plan the location of the shallow drainage areas.

4. Provide a developed watershed map that is not the submitted site plan. At minimum the developed watershed map should show the developed watershed boundary, the direction of flow and the concentration point. Revise the drainage statement to provide a developed watershed map.

5. It is not clear why the drainage easement needs to be abandoned. Discussion must be provided in the drainage statement on why the easement needs to be abandoned and what will happen to the off-site flow. The drainage statement must discuss that the removal of the easement will not create an adverse impact on adjacent properties. The site plan must depict the discussion provided in the drainage statement. Be advised the City of Tucson will have to agree this abandonment is acceptable. If the City of Tucson finds the abandonment acceptable the property owners to the south and the Bantam Homeowners association must also accept the drainage easement abandonment. This must be documented in writing, signatures from the property owners and notarized. Revise appropriately.
