TRANSMITTAL DATE: 12/11/07

COMMENTS: Please resubmit revised drawings along with redlines and a response letter, which states how all Zoning Review Section comments regarding the Land Use Code and Development Standards were addressed.

1. DS 2-02.2.1.4 A small, project-location map shall be drawn on the first sheet of the development plan, preferably in the upper right corner. The map should cover approximately one (1) square mile, be drawn at a minimum scale of 3" = 1 mile, and provide the following information.
1. Show the subject property approximately centered within the one (1) square mile area.
2. Identify conditions within the square mile area, such as major streets and
watercourses.
3. Section, township, and range; section corners; north arrow; and the scale will be labeled.

2. DS 2-02.2.1.5 Provide lot line dimensions and bearings.

This site contains two (2) separate parcels therefore you will need to show how the parcels can work as stand alone parcels if sold separately or provide a Pima County Tax Parcel Combo and record a covenant regarding development and use of real property. Forms may be found at http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms_Fees___Maps/Applications/applications.html

Provide recording information (docket and page) on the site plan for the covenant as well as providing a copy of the covenant for review purposes.

3. DS 2-02.2.1.6 The foot print of the building on the site plan does not match the last approved site plan submitted. The front of the building appears to be incorrect. Revise foot print and correct square footages where applicable (expansion calcs., FAR calcs., etc.) Provide dimensions of the footprint.

The indicated over hang at the front of the building does not appear to be correct. Per the aerial photos the overhang appear to be across the entire front of the building. If this is the case clearly indicate the clearance over the loading zone. (min. 15' clearance)

4. DS 2-02.2.1.7 Provide the angle of the angled parking spaces and dimensions as per LUC Sec. 3.3.7.2.

The submitted last approved site plan indicates a total of 12 existing parking spaces not 14 as indicated on the plan. Revise.

Clearly indicate how the parking spaces will comply with the MS&R future widening. See later comment regarding MS&R requirements.

The proposed handicap parking space must be a van accessible parking space. See ANSI 117.1-2003 Sec. 502 for dimensional requirements. As indicated the space does not meet the required width for the access aisle.

Provide a detail of the handicap parking space signage. Min. distance from grade to the bottom of the sign per City of Tucson standards is seven (7) feet. A copy of the required verbiage for the sign can be obtained at the DSD front counter.

Clearly indicate the minimum distance of 2'-6" from the front of the parking spaces to the front of the wheel stops.

Provide wheel stops at parking spaces to prevent overhanging into the landscape border.

5. DS 2-02.2.1.10 Provide the location of the future and existing sight visibility triangles. See engineering comments.

6. DS 2-02.2.1.12 The asphalt ramp appears to have been removed in order to provide vehicle access to the rear of the property. A handicap ramp at the access aisle for the handicap parking space is required to be installed. Provide a detail of the ramp clearly indicating width, slope, landing and truncated domes. See ANSI 117.1-2003 for requirements for the ramp and truncated domes.

7. DS 2-02.2.1.9 Bicycle parking must be provided for the additional parking spaces being added. Minimum of 2 class two bicycle parking spaces are required. See DS 2-09 for requirements. Provide a dimensioned detail of the class two bicycle parking spaces and access aisle and the type of rack. Class two bicycle parking spaces are to be located within 50' of the main entrance to the building.

8. DS 2-02.2.1 If applicable, provide location, height, type and size of existing and proposed signage including billboards.

9. DS 2-02.2.1.19 Provide the location of the future right of way and future curb location. Be aware that this site must be able to meet all of the requirements of the LUC and Development Standards once the right of way widening takes place. Provide a future site plan clearly indicating how this site will function once the widening occurs. For example the proposed parking spaces appear they would be located in the future right of way and some of the parking spaces will be affected by the future sight visibility triangles.

10. DS 2-02.2.1.28 Provide the existing zoning of the property and the zoning of the adjacent properties.

11. DS 2-02.2.1.31 Provide the use of the project as follows: General Merchandise Sales "28" subject to: Sec. 3.5.9.2.

12. DS 2-02.2.2.A.4 The change in floor area may require the FAR calculations to be revised.

13. DS 2-02.2.2.A.5 Provide a note indicating the number of required and provided loading zones.

14. DS 2-02.2.2.A.6 Provide building expansion calculations. Expansion calculations are cumulative. Therefore the all of the storage containers will be considered as expansion. If the existing building square footage increases, as it appears it will, the percentage of building expansion may decrease. Expansion calculations will be the existing and proposed storage containers square footage divided by the square footage of the main building. If this percentage is greater than 25% then this site will be required to meet full code compliance.

FYI: If an enclosed structure is proposed for the future cell tower, the square footage of the building will considered as part of the building expansion calculations. Again building expansion calculations are cumulative. If by adding the cell tower building the expansion calculations exceed 25% the full code compliance will be required for the entire site.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please call Terry Stevens, (520) 837-4961

12/17/2007 JASON GREEN ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied DATE: December 18, 2007
SUBJECT: 7835 E Golf Links Road Site Plan- Engineering Review
TO: Sonya Okamoto
LOCATION: T14S R15E Sec20 Ward 4
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: T07CM04539 (Site Plan)


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T07CM04539) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan application at this time. The following items need to be addressed:


SITE PLAN COMMENTS:

1) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.4: Revise the location map on Sheet C-1 to identify conditions within the square mile area shown, such as major watercourses, and Township, Range and Section corners. Provide the location map at a 3-inch equal 1-mile scale and label section corners.

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.5: Revise the site plan to label all lot dimensions and bearings. Provide the dimensions and bearings for all lot lines shown on the site plan.

3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.7: A lot combination is required prior to site plan approval to allow the existing building to be positioned over the current lot lines for the existing 2 lots. The lot combination must be recorded and approved by the Zoning Department prior to site plan approval.

4) 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 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.

5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the detail on the site plan to dimension all parking spaces proposed including the required handicap spaces. Refer to Table 1 within DS Sec.3-05 for further clarification on angled parking requirements.

6) D.S. 2-02.2.1.A.10: Revise the site plan to show the sight visibility triangles that are required for the PAAL intersection with the Golf Links Road. Label and dimension both existing and future sight visibility triangles. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.5.1 for triangle criteria.

7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Label and dimension the minimum PAAL widths for the vehicular use area shown on the site plan. Refer to the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for minimum curb cut requirements at public roadways for street development standards.

8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Depict and label the 25-feet radii concrete curbs per City of Tucson/Pima County Standard Detail 213 (PC/COT SD 213) at the proposed driveway entrances. 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 and the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for street development standards.

9) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.12: Verify the required 6-foot wide sidewalk along the street frontage of Golf Links Road. Per the adopted Mayor and Counsel policy all sidewalks along MS&R right-of-ways for arterial and collector streets require 6-foot wide sidewalks. If an existing sidewalk is already constructed along the frontage of Golf Links Road provide photo documentation showing that the existing sidewalk is in good condition. If the sidewalk is missing in spots or is cracked and buckled a new 6-foot sidewalk will be required. A DSMR will be required for modifying the development standards to allow a sidewalk that does not meet the minimum 6-foot width requirements along Golf Links Road. The DSMR must be approved prior to site plan approval. All exhibits and discussion must reflect any changes made by the approved DSMR. Provide a General Note to list the DSMR number, the Development Standard being modified along with the date of DSMR approval.

10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to label and dimension all onsite pedestrian circulation areas. Pedestrian circulation (front of the existing building) must provide a clear 4-foot minimum width unless adjacent to a PAAL which would require a 5-foot width.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show the location of all scuppers existing/proposed under the sidewalk per the civil sheets. Provide separate details for the scuppers showing either the standard detail number for public improvements or provide the dimensions required to meet the requirements of the Civil Sheets in order to convey the 10-year flow under the pedestrian circulation.

12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show the required pedestrian circulation path that is required to connect the existing building and vehicular use area to the required sidewalk along Golf Links Road. Label and dimension all pedestrian circulation paths.

13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show that all existing and proposed 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.

14) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.16: Provide flow arrows on the site plan to identify drainage patterns within the vehicular use area and for the roof drainage to verify drainage concentration locations.

15) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.17: Provide the estimated cut and fill quantities on the revised site plan for grading plan purposes.

16) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Provide the recordation information for Golf Links Road for the existing right-of-way that is shown on the site plan. Label the centerline of the road.

17) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Provide the future right-of-way dimension (200-feet) for Golf Links Road per the Major Streets and Routes Map (MS&R).

18) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan so that it is able to meet all of the requirements of the LUC and Development Standards once the future right-of-way widening takes place. The site plan must clearly indicate how the project will function once the widening occurs. Specifically, the proposed parking spaces along the southern portion of the property look as if they would be located in the future right-of-way and the parking spaces will be affected by the future sight visibility triangles, clarify.

19) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan to label Golf Links Road as 1) an "MS&R Arterial Road;" 2) Public; and 3) A Gateway Route.

20) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.A.20: Verify that all existing and proposed easements are drawn with recordation information, location, width, and purpose of on the site plan.

21) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.A.21: Provide dimensions from the street monument lines to the existing and/or proposed curb, sidewalk, driveway and any utility lines.

22) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.A.23: Provide existing topographic contours at intervals not exceeding two (2) feet and/or spot elevations as pertinent and Bench Mark based on City of Tucson Datum, including City Field Book and Page number.

23) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Provide an approval letter or email from Andy Vera, City of Tucson Environmental Services for approval of existing refuse pick-up. If the property is subject to full code compliance all aspects of the site plan must be brought up to current development standards. The enclosure must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between bollards that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. Refer to Figure 3 (attached to the hard copy of this letter) and DS Sec.6-01.4.2 for specifications and requirements on access, placement of containers, bin enclosure and construction. Show maneuverability for refuse vehicles in plan view.

24) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.C: Verify that the sight visibility triangles are shown on the landscape plan.

25) Review and approval from TDOT Permits and Codes for all improvements within the public right-of-way will be required. A right-of-way use permit application will be required prior to construction. Refer to the following links for TDOT Forms and applications:
