Melpomene Way Grading Plan T08BU00317 (First Review) T14S, R15E, Section 24 RESUBMITTAL REQUIRED: Grading Plan, Drainage Report and SWPPP The Grading Plan (GP), Drainage Report (DR) and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan cannot be approved as submitted. Please address the following review comments prior to the next submittal. Grading Plan: 1. Please include a response letter to the comments along with the corrected copies of the GP. 2. The offsite sewer crossing, north of the parcel at Coronado Wash is subject to the Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat and an ERZ overlay zone and is required to under go the overlay zone process. Applicants proposing a project with encroachments into the Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat zone, the proposed ERZ zone or the one hundred (100) year floodplain are required to submit a mitigation plan in accordance with Sec. 2.8.6.5.D of the LUC and an Environmental Resource Report as defined in Sec. 6.2.5 of the LUC. Compliance with regulations in accordance with the DSD - Procedure are also required. Contact Patricia Gehlen at 791-5550 x1179 or via e-mail at Patricia.Gahlen@tucsonaz.gov for assistance with the review process. 3. Any roadway, bike path or walkway improvement which impedes the movement of wildlife must be constructed in such a manner as to provide means for safe and accessible passage. Improvements or encroachments into critical riparian habitat areas should be constructed to minimize disruption of vegetation and critical riparian habitat. Where culverts are used, they should be box culverts a minimum of six (6) feet in height per the L.U.C. 2.8.6.6.A.4. Revise the size of the RCBC's as necessary. Correspondence from Ann Phillips at the Office of conservation and sustainable development is required and shall be included in the following submittal in order to satisfy this comment. 4. As per the Federal ADA requirements, all wheel chair ramps shall have the truncated domes instead of the standard grooves that are shown on COT SD 207. Aside from the Truncated Domes, all wheel chair ramps shall be constructed in accordance with COT SD 207. 5. Submit a copy of the geotechnical report and the archaeological assessment with the next submittal. 6. Correct Grading and Paving note no. 10 to: "All grading shall conform to City of Tucson Development Standard 11-01.0 Excavation and Grading". 7. Add the drainage maintenance note to the grading plans: The responsibility of operating and maintaining the drainage facilities rests with the owner of the facility. (a.) That the owner(s) shall be solely responsible for, operation, maintenance and liability for the drainage facility(ies); (b.) That the owner(s) shall have an Arizona registered professional engineer prepare a certified inspection report for the drainage facilities at least once a year, and that these regular inspection reports will be on file with the owner for review by city staff, upon written request; (c.) That city staff may periodically inspect the drainage and detention/retention facilities to verify scheduled and unscheduled maintenance activities are being performed adequately; and (d) That the owners(s) agree to reimburse the city for any and all costs associated with maintaining the drainage and detention/retention facilities, should the city find the owner(s) deficient in their obligation to adequately operate and maintain their facilities. 8. Add the following notes to the grading plan notes: " "The approved Grading Plan is the only acceptable construction plan onsite. The Contractor may not use any other plans, such as the approved Tentative Plat and/or Development Plan, for construction purposes. The Contractor may ask the Development Services Inspector to consult with the other approved plans for additional information or details that might not be included on the approved grading plan but needed for completion of work." " "The contractor shall remove the fine materials from the bottom of the drainage facilities once the construction activities are completed in order to remove any fine material build up caused by construction and to restore proper working order." " "Any engineering work to be done below grade (i.e. toe-downs, cutoff walls, drainage pipes/structures, etc.) shall not be back filled until Development Services Inspector inspects the work and approves it." 9. List administrative address/site address (1470 S. Melpomene Way) on the plans. 10. Submit a copy of the "approved stamped" tentative plat. The grading plans will not be approved prior to the approval of the tentative plat. 11. List Grading plan number (T08BU00317) on all sheets. 12. Flood plain use permits are required for any work (street construction and sewer) performed in the flood plain. The off-site sewer crossing will require a separate FUP because it is on a different property than the subdivision. The grading plans will not be approved prior to the issuance of the flood plain use permits. 13. List all Cut and Fill quantities in cubic yards. If both are 0 cy, please list. 14. Include a note on grading plan where the "NOUS" dimensions can be found. The final plat has not been reviewed however; the dimensions for the "NOUS" should be shown on the FP. 15. Show and call out the "NOUS" on the plan and profile sheets where it is applicable. In some cases, there is disturbance adjacent to the NOUS. The contractor may encroach into these areas if the NOUS is not clearly defined. Perhaps a key note and/or a grading note explaining that there will be no grading in the NOUS would work. 16. Show and call out the grading limits in a bolder manner (line weight) so that the contractor and inspector can easily distinguish the grading limits on the plans. 17. FYI: If in the future, the HOA would like to dedicate the private street to the City of Tucson to be public, it will be difficult for the City of Tucson to accept the street with use of the SRCP at the end of the cul-de-sac. 18. A permit or a private improvement agreement will be necessary for any work performed within the Right-of-way. Contact Permits and Codes at (520) 791-5100 for permit information. 19. Delineate 100-year W.S.E.L., Floodplain and erosion hazard setback in a more distinguishable manner. For construction and inspection purposes. 20. Call out the names of all washes on the plan and profile sheets. For contractor and inspectors orientation. 21. Call out peak discharges entering and exiting the site or entering and exiting all drainage structures. 22. Any grading performed off-site (West end of street "B") of the subdivision will require the affected property owner's consent. 23. Any grading outside the 63' wide private access, drainage and pub. and private util. easement will require a slope or construction easement. 24. If the splash pad at sta. 5+52.82 goes beyond the 63' wide pue, the splash pad will require a private drainage easement. Drainage report: 1. Please include a response letter to the comments along with the corrected copies of the DR. 2. Addendums to any Drainage Reports/Hydrology Reports etc. are not accepted. The new layout or the revisions must be incorporated into the Drainage Report. Or a new DR may be generated and submitted for review. 3. The offsite sewer crossing, north of the parcel at Coronado Wash is subject to the Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat and an ERZ overlay zone and is required to under go the overlay zone process. Applicants proposing a project with encroachments into the Xeroriparian Intermediate Habitat zone, the proposed ERZ zone or the one hundred (100) year floodplain are required to submit a mitigation plan in accordance with Sec. 2.8.6.5.D of the LUC and an Environmental Resource Report as defined in Sec. 6.2.5 of the LUC.
