3. Indicate on the location map the Tucson Diversion Channel. DS 2-02.2.1.A.4.

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.

5. Provide the future sight visibility triangles for the project. The future SVT is drawn from the future curb location. See forthcoming comment below. DS 2-02.2.1.A.10.

6. It is not clear what the dashed line with the verbiage "Asphalt PAAL," is indicating. It appears the dashed line is indicating the solid waste vehicle maneuverability. It also appears to indicate the boundaries of the PAAL. Revise the plan to show the boundary of the PAAL more clearly. For plan clarity it is recommended to remove the dashed line. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

7. See redline for this following comment. There is a line adjacent to parking space number nine that extends to the symbol representing the solid waste enclosure. Is this representing vertical curb? Clarify. DS 2-02.2.1.A.11.

8. A minimum setback distance of five 5' for a pedestrian refuge area with a 4' sidewalk must be maintained between any enclosed structure and a PAAL. Provide a 4' sidewalk within the 5' pedestrian refuge between the PAAL and the south side of the building. Revise plan as necessary. DS 3-05.2.2.B.1., Figure 1 and DS 2-08.4.1.B.

21. Provide the recordation data for Benson Highway, also indicate as a public road and/or if it is State of Arizona ROW. DS 2-02.2.1.A.18.

22. Benson Highway is designated as an arterial road with a future ROW width of 120' per the Major Streets and Route Plan.

Enclosure gates have a minimum opening of ten (10) feet.

28. The maximum back up distance for a solid waste collection vehicle is 40'. The current proposal exceeds this distance. Revise the site plan to meet the minimum requirement. DS 6-01.4.1.C.

29. 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. Section 2.1 indicates the impervious surface is 55% post development. It is not clear if the percentage includes the future building. It is also not clear on the site plan and the developed hydrology map exactly what areas are going to be impervious. Clarify on the developed hydrology map the areas of impervious surface and revise section 2.1 appropriately.

2. Provide storage volume and depth columns with the detention routing tables; 2, 10 and 100 year.

3. Revise all applicable areas in the report to replace Julian wash with the Tucson Diversion Channel.

4. If downspout locations cross pedestrian circulation areas provide calculations and detail for scupper sizing to show that the 10-year flow is contained under the sidewalk.
