LOCATION: T14S R15E Sec06, Ward 2
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: T08CM00751 (Site Plan) and T08BU00439 (Grading Plan)


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T08CM00751), grading plan (T08BU00439), Drainage Report (Rick Engineering Company, 03MAR08) and Geotechnical Evaluation (Western Technologies Inc., 02FEB05) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan nor grading plan applications at this time. The Drainage Report was reviewed for site plan and grading plan purposes only. The following items need to be addressed:


SITE PLAN COMMENTS: Engineering Division has reviewed this project for conformance with the Development Standards (DS) and Land Use Code (LUC). More specifically DS Sec.2-02, 3-05, 6-01, and Chapter 25 of the Tucson Code.

1) Revise the site plan package to provide the site plan number (T08CM00751) and the grading plan (T08BU00439) on the lower right hand corner of the plan sheets where indicated by "T08CM-_ _ _" and "T08BU-_ _ _".

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the back-up spur located within the south parking lot to dimension the required 3-foot radii, clarify that there is a wheel barrier (6-inch curbing or wheel stops) to prevent encroachment onto any un-surfaced area.

3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to dimension the minimum 24-foot PAAL width adjacent to the proposed loading space. Provide the dimension for the PAAL intersection at this location.

4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to clearly dimension wheel stop barrier or curbing 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/or the required clear 4-foot pedestrian path. Specifically provide an overhang dimension for the vehicle parking spaces shown along the north and south property lines.

5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to provide a wheel stop barrier to prevent vehicles from damaging the retaining wall shown near the northeast corner of the proposed building. Refer to DS Sec.3-05.2.3.C.1 for further clarity.

6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Revise the site plan to label and dimension all setback requirements for the proposed egress and ingress access point for the subject parcel. Refer to the Transportation Access Management Guidelines for all driveway setback requirements. Specifically the setback from the driveway to existing roads, electric poles, light poles, fire hydrants, etc.

7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to provide the required 6-foot wide sidewalk along the street frontage of Grant 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 Grant 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 Grant 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.

8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan, grading plan and associated details for the required handicap ramps at the cross walk location to show the truncated domes located at the transition from pedestrian circulation to vehicular use area. The detail does not meet the minimum requirements per ANSI Standards A117.1-2003 Section 406.13 for truncated dome locations as shown.

9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show the location of all proposed scuppers under the pedestrian circulation for roof drainage. Provide a separate keynote call out for the scuppers referencing the detail shown on Sheet 6 (Detail I/6).

10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan and Detail B/5 to provide the required pedestrian circulation path from the proposed buildings to the refuse enclosure. Revise the refuse container and detail to provide the gate location for pedestrian access on the side closest to the sidewalk. Pedestrian access to the refuse container can not be through the loading zone.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to label and dimension all proposed curb openings for the detention basin and the scupper locations for the roof down spouts for design purposes. Verify that all drainage improvements that are within the Drainage Report are clearly labeled with details and dimensions on the revised site plan.

12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan and grading plan to label Grant Road as "MS&R."

13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.20: Verify that all easements of record are graphically shown on the proposed site plan along with the recordation information.

14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.25: Revise the site plan and grading plan to label all existing electric poles and light poles adjacent to the property within the right-of-way of Grant Road. Provide the symbols used to denote the poles in the legend on Sheet 1.

15) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Revise the site plan and Detail B to show that the refuse enclosure meets the minimum requirements of DS Sec.6-01. 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.

16) DS Sec.11-01.9: Revise the site plan and all associated details to provide the required 2-feet setback from all property boundaries to the proposed limits of grading, fill slopes, detention basin, proposed channel, and associated erosion protection. Provide additional cross-sections on the site plan for all property boundaries that shows the limits of grading and the required 2-feet setback from property line. Revise details H and J to show conformance with the required 2-foot setback form property boundaries.

17) 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:

a) http://www.tucsonaz.gov/dsd/Forms_Fees___Maps/Applications/applications.html /
