| 08/22/2008 | MICHAEL ST. PAUL | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | August 22, 2008 Development Services Department Zoning Review Section Michael St.Paul Planning Technician T08BU01396 Grading Plans for S07-178 (S05-098) Comments: 1. The grading plan has been reviewed by Zoning Review Section but cannot approve the plan until it has been approved by the Engineering, and Landscape Review Sections and until all zoning comments or concerns have been addressed. 2. Zoning could not verify that the grading plan was in compliance with the approved tentative plat. Please submit one copy of the CDRC approved and stamped tentative plat, landscape, and NPPO plans with the next grading plan submittal. 3. Zoning will re-review the grading plan on the next submittal to ensure compliance with the CDRC approved and stamped tentative plat. Additional comments may be forthcoming. |

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. b. The contractor shall remove the fine materials from the bottom of the detention/retention basin and scarify the basin bottom once the construction activities are completed in order to remove any fine material build up caused by construction and to restore soil percolation. install BMP's at the basin inlet(s) to prevent the fines from entering the basin c.

A copy of the approved Grading Plan, Grading Permit, and any Geotechnical Reports shall be kept at the site at all times, until final grading approval. h. Any revision to the Grading Plan MAY require a re-submittal of a revised grading plan for review. Contact DSD Engineering at 791-5550 to discuss changes in grading design. i. If grading construction is expected to last longer than the expiration date of the grading permit, contact DSD to renew/extend the Grading Permit.

Final grading approval shall not be given until all work, including installation of all drainage facilities and their permanent protective devices, and all erosion control measures have been completed in accordance with the approved grading plan and grading permit, and any required reports have been submitted. o. Depress all landscaped areas a maximum of 6" for waterharvesting" 8- It appears that the submitted Grading Plan contains mostly the proposed roadway work, which should be in the PIA Plan. Will the blocks be rough graded? Address this issue and revise as necessary. 9- Work in the public right of way requires an excavation permit and/or may require a private improvement agreement. Check with City of Tucson Department of Transportation Permits and Codes for additional information. 10- Resubmit this Grading Plan with future Grading Plan submittals for comparison. 11- Provide a detailed response letter with the next submittal that explains how the comments were addressed and references the exact locations/sheets where the revisions were made. 12- Additional information may be required with next submittal. SWPPP Comments: 1. Show the grading limits on the SWPPP exhibit. 2. Place controls inside grading limits. 3. Identify all operators for the project site, and the areas over which each operator has control. (Part IV.C.1) (i.e. all known operators including the name of the developer). 4.

(Part IV.D.4.b) Note: Stabilization measures may be delayed if either of the two following conditions apply: a. Where construction activity on a portion of the site is temporarily ceased, but earth disturbing activities will be resumed in that area within 14 days. In this event, temporary stabilization measures do not have to be initiated on that portion of site. (Part IV.D.4.b.ii). b. When the site is using vegetative stabilization but is located in an area with an average annual rainfall of < 20 inches and it is during seasonally arid conditions, vegetative stabilization measures must be initiated as soon as practicable. (Part IV.D.4.b.iii). 25. Section "IV.B.2." states that the Site Map should show the approximate post-grading slopes, locations of waste, borrow, fill, equipment storage, or offsite material. Revise the Site Map as necessary. 26. Describe structural practices to divert flows from exposed soils, store flows or otherwise limit runoff and the discharge of pollutants from exposed areas of the site to the degree attainable. A combination of sediment and erosion control measures is required to achieve maximum pollutant removal. 27. Provide adequate sediment basins. (Part IV.D.5.a.). 28.
