Include the grading limits symbol in the legend. 5- Add a note or show in a typical detail that proposed cut or fill slopes shall be set back at least 2' from the parcel line. 6- The Geotechnical Report shall recommend the required setback from existing/proposed slopes whether they are created by a cut or a fill. Verify compliance with the Soils Report recommendation. 7- Add the following general notes: a. 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. 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. Alternatively, the contractor may utilize BMP's at the basin inlet(s) to prevent the fines from entering the basin. c. Add a note, which states that 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. d. The contractor is not permitted to make an autonomous decision to carry out construction field changes without prior written approval from the Engineer of Record and the City of Tucson Development Services Department. e. CALL FOR SWPPP INSPECTION AND PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETINGS. FOR A DSD ENGINEERING INSPECTIONS, CALL IVR (740-6970), OR SCHEDULE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT, OR CONTACT DSD ENGINEERING AT 791-5550 EXTENSION 2101, OR SCHEDULE INSPECTIONS ONLINE AT: http://WWW.CI.TUCSON.AZ.US/DSD/ONLINE_SERVICES/ONLINE_PERMITS/ONLINE_PERMITS.HTML. f. The project will be in compliance with City of Tucson Development Standard 11-01.0 (Excavation and Grading). g. A copy of the approved Grading Plan, SWPPP, 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. If Final Grading Inspection has not been completed before the Grading Permit expires, and the permit has not been renewed, additional fees and reviews may be required. j. See the associated Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan as a part of this grading permit. k. Contact Permits and Codes at 791-5100 for any questions regarding any right-of-way permit requirements. l. As-builts and letters of completion for basin and overall project are required. m. The Engineer of Record shall submit a statement of conformance to as-built plan and the specifications. n. The permitee shall notify the DSD when the grading operation is ready for final grading inspection. 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- Provide the administrative address. 9- Provide a cross section for the slope east of the lots 46 through 52. Ensure that the proposed swale is far enough from the proposed wall that the swale runoff will not undermine the wall foundation. The distance between the wall and the swale shall be determined by the geotechnical engineer. Additionally, provide cross sections for the slopes north of Lots 1 through 4, 53 through 57, 5 through 7, and all lots that have the same kind of situation, on Sheet 3 of 5, etc. Clarify how the slopes drainage will be conveyed without adversely impacting the backyard walls. 10- The pad elevations are different from the elevations shown on the Tentative Plat. Address this issue and explain how this impacts the development drainage. 11- Show the storm drain pipes on the cross section detail of the channel between Lots 39 and 40 (see Sheet 4 of 5). 12- Show the storm drain pipes on the cross section detail of the channel between Lots 7 and 8 (see Sheet 4 of 5). 13- Show, on Sheet 4 of 5, additional construction details for all proposed drainage structures how they connect to one another (i.e. how pipes connect to spillways, detail for the entrance of the channels between Lots 39 and 40, and Lots 7 and 8, etc.). 14- Is there a cut off wall at the end of the channel between Lots 52 and 53? 15- Provide a cross section detail along the channel between Lots 52 and 53 and clarify if handrails are needed for all proposed channels/spillways where they connect to the sidewalks. 16- Perimeter wall footings must be completely within the private property. Wall footings shall not be completely/partially within the public right of way or an adjacent private property. Revise any applicable detail accordingly or provide a typical detail that demonstrate compliance with this requirement. 17- The orientation of the drainage pipes south of Lots 12 and 35 (Sheet 2 of 5) has changed from what is shown on the Tentative Plat and the Drainage Report. How does this affect the drainage scheme and the capacity of the pipes considering that the point of discharge and the pipes slopes have changed? Additionally, call out the type and size of pipes proposed to be installed. 18- Call out the type and size of pipes proposed to be installed south of Lots 56 and 57 and between Lots 39 and 40. Additionally, show proposed pipes in the cross section detail shown on Sheet 4 of 5. 19- Provide construction details for all drainage and erosion control structures including dimensions, depths, materials, rock sizes, cutoff walls, number of scuppers, etc. 20- The 4" bed of mortar, shown in Detail A-A (Sheet 4 of 5) appears to be insufficient for 9" rock rip rap. The part of the rock that will be imbedded in the mortar will be too small hold the rock in place. Provide a mortar bed thickness that allows at least 4"-5" of the rock to be imbedded. 21- Call out the proposed streets as public. 22- As per Federal ADA requirements, all wheel chair ramps shall have the Truncated Domes. Provide the ramps with truncated domes. Additionally, add a note which states that wheelchair ramps shall be constructed in accordance with City of Tucson Standard Detail 207. 23- Show all grade breaks and their elevations. 24- Call out the drainage type of each lot (i.e. type "A', "B" or "C") and show ant proposed drainage wall openings. Dimension the openings. 25- 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. 26- Resubmit the redlined grading plan with future Grading Plan submittals for comparison. 27- 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. 28- Submit a revised drainage report that addresses the drainage modifications. 29- Additional information may be required with next submittal. SWPPP Comments: 1. Show the grading limits on the SWPPP exhibit. 2. Owner Certification shall be filled out and signed. 3.

Describe and identify interim and permanent stabilization practices for the site, including a schedule of when the practices will be implemented. (Part IV.D.4.a). 12. Describe measures that will be used to minimize erosion at and around the culvert(s) (Part IV.B.1.). 13. 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. 14. Include a copy of the authorization certificate received from ADEQ (Part III.D.2.). 15. Include a copy of the completed NOI form that was submitted to ADEQ (Part III.D.3.). 16. Provide adequate sediment basins. (Part IV.D.5.a.). 17.
