SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T08CM00528) and Drainage Report (Rick Engineering Company, 14FEB08) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan application at this time. The Drainage Report was reviewed for site plan purposes only. 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 1 to provide for conditions within the square mile area shown such as the streets surrounding the subject parcels.

2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.7: A lot combination is required prior to site plan approval. The lot combination must be recorded and approved by the Zoning Department prior to site plan approval.

3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to show the minimum unobstructed radius of 5-feet that is required at all PAAL intersection and 18-feet where the PAALs are being used as access for fire lanes. Refer to DS Sec.3-05.2.1.3.b for PAAL requirements.

4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to provide dimensions for all required back-up spur with a minimum of 3 feet in depth, a 3-foot radius, and a wheel barrier to prevent encroachment onto any unsurfaced area.

5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to meet the requirements within DS Sec.3-05.2.1.B.3. Per this section when the side of a parking space abuts any vertical barrier over 6" in height, the required width for the space is 10' to provide extra width to allow passengers to enter and exit the vehicle on the side where the barrier exists. The parking space adjacent to the trash enclosure at the southwest corner of the north property will be required to be 10' in width, clarify.

6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.10: Revise (label and dimension) the proposed sight visibility triangles (SVTs) shown in plan view for all PAAL access points. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.5.1 for SVT procedures and criteria. The dimensions for the SVT's should reflect a PAAL to Local Street dimensions.

7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Label and dimension all setback requirements for all proposed points of egress and ingress 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, fire hydrants, telephone and electric poles, etc.

8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Verify the required 5-foot wide sidewalk along the street frontage of all roads that are adjacent to the subject property. All new development shall provide 5-foot wide sidewalks along the entire length of street frontage. Refer to DS Sec.3-01 for all curb and sidewalk requirements. If sidewalks already exist along the frontage of Elvira Road, Lisa Frank Avenue, Aragon Road, Medina Road, and Brosius Avenue 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 5-foot sidewalk will be required.

9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to show the required pedestrian circulation path that is required from all proposed buildings to the required pedestrian circulation path located along Elvira Road and Aragon Road. Specifically for the vehicular use area between Building 1 and Building 2.

10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan and any necessary changes to the Drainage Report to label and dimension all drainage infrastructure locations for the proposed curb openings, scupper locations, storm grate locations and basin weirs 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. Figure 5 of the Drainage Report calls out weir locations for all 3 basins, however review of the site plan does not show these locations, revise.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to show the ponding limits for the proposed drainage swales located within the truck wells in the loading zone area. Provide in plan view spot elevations to show how the water is drained away from the building and into an associated storm grate or detention/retention basin. Provide spot elevations showing positive drainage away from the truck wells so that ponding does not occur in this localized water shed.

12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the retention/detention volumes on the site plan to match the volume references in the proposed Drainage Report. The volumes shown on the site plan need to be in the same format as called out in the Drainage Report for easier review. All basin side slopes must meet the recommendations within the required geotechnical report. If the basin design falls under the requirements in DS Sec.10-01.3.6.2 safety barriers will be required, verify.

13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Provide the recordation information for all shown right-of-way widths for all roads adjacent to the subject parcel.

14) 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.

15) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Revise the detail to correctly dimensions the proposed refuse container. The enclosure must have a minimum inside clear dimension of 10 feet by 10 feet between steel pipes that are required between the container and the enclosure's rear and sidewall. Refer to DS Sec.6-01 and Figure 3 for refuse container requirements.

16) DS Sec.2-01.2.1.C: Revise the landscape plan to reflect the SVTs that are shown on the revised site plan. Provide a note on the landscape plan to state no structures and vegetation is allowed within 30" to 72" in height and will not be placed within the sight visibility triangles. Remove any proposed vegetation within the sight visibility triangle areas that obstructs sight visibility.

17) Ds Sec.10-02.14.3.3: Revise the site plan to provide for the required maintenance access ramp into all proposed basin. A minimum 15-foot wide vehicular access ramp with a maximum 15 % slope is required into the basins; verify that the landscape plans do not interfere with the required 15-foot access ramp.

18) DS Sec.11-01.9: Revise the site plan to provide the required 2-feet setback from all property boundaries to the proposed limits of grading, fill slopes, detention/retention basins, and associated erosion protection. Provide cross-sections on the site plan for all property boundaries and at all proposed basin locations that shows the limits of grading and the required 2-feet setback from property line.

19) Per Division Directive and the proposed Drainage Report the site plan must label and dimension all basin outlets and bleeder pipes that are required at the basin outlets to ensure positive drainage. Provide the location and dimensions of the bleeder pipe in the detail for the basins. All basins must be designed to eliminate standing water and mosquito infestation. Infiltration test will be required prior to site plan approval to ensure that the Basin drains within the 12-hour requirement.

20) DS Sec.2-02.2.2.B: Clearly indicate on the site plan which portions will be constructed in phases, in conjunction with other major activities. Show Phase numbers and clearly delineate. Each phase must function independent of future phases, provide development calculations for each phase.

21) 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 /

b) http://www.dot.ci.tucson.az.us/engineering/pia.php

c) Or contact Thad Harvison at 837-6592 for all additional questions regarding r-o-w.

22) Be advised that further comments may be forth coming on resubmittal of the site plan, Drainage Report and geotechnical report.


DRAINAGE REPORT:

23) Revise the Drainage Report and any necessary changes to the site plan to show all curb opening, scupper locations, storm grate locations and basin weirs for design purposes. Verify that all drainage improvements that are within the Drainage Report show up on the revised site plan. Figure 5 of the Drainage Report calls out weir locations for all 3 basins, however review of the site plan did not show these locations, revise.

24) DS Sec.10-01.2.2: Provide a geotechnical report with building setbacks from the proposed basins, infiltration rates for the retention basin, and slope stability recommendations for basin/channel design along with slope stability for any other constructed slopes. Clarify if the Drainage Report and site plan match the geotechnical report.

25) DS Sec.10-02.2.3.1.5.C: Revise the Drainage Report with hydraulic calculation sheets to show the ponding limits for the proposed drainage swales located within the truck wells in the loading zone area. Provide in plan view spot elevations to show how the water is drained away from the building and into an associated storm grate or detention/retention basin. Provide spot elevations showing positive drainage away from the truck wells so that ponding does not occur in this localized water shed.


GEOTECHNICAL REPORT:

26) DS Sec.10-01.III.3.5.1.3.a, 10-02.14.2.6: Provide a geotechnical report evaluation that addresses the following:

a) Soils report should provide conformance with DS Section 10-02.14.2.6 regarding 30-foot boring for basin, and provide a discussion of the potential for hydro-collapsible soils and any recommendation for setbacks from the buildings to the proposed retention/detention basins, water harvesting basins and constructed channels.

b) Provide slope stability recommendations for all proposed constructed slopes.

c) Provide pavement structure design recommendations.

d) Provide percolation rates for retention/detention basins for 5-year threshold retention.


GRADING PLAN:

27) DS Sec.11-01.2.1: A grading permit will be required for this project due to the cut and fill quantities provided on the site plan. Fill quantities shown exceed the 50 cubic yards so a grading plan and a grading permit application will be required after site plan approval and prior to any construction activity.

28) Please ensure that any future grading plan will be consistent with the site plan and Drainage Report. Grading standards may be accessed at: http://www.ci.tucson.az.us/dsd/DevStandsTOC.pdf

29) DS Sec.11-01.4.1.C.4: Provide a General Note stating that all CMU walls and retaining walls will require a separate permit for review and approval by all necessary Development Services Departments.
