| 03/03/2009 | DAVID RIVERA | ZONING | REVIEW | Denied | 03/03/2009 Development Services Department Zoning Review Section David Rivera Principal Planner Comments: 1. The grading plan has been reviewed by Zoning Review Section but cannot approve the plan at this time. 2. While zoning acknowledges that the grading plan is in substantial zoning compliance as it relates to the Zoning review purview, with the approved version of the tentative plat, the grading plan cannot be approved at this time. Prior to Zoning approval the Engineering and Landscape Sections must approve the grading plan. 3. Reference the tentative plat case number in the lower right corner of all grading plan sheets. 4. Zoning is willing to review and approve the grading plan over the counter once the enginering and landscape sections have approve this plan. Please call me to set up an appointment for a counter review and approval of the is grading plan. |

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.

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. n. Depress all landscaped areas a maximum of 6" for waterharvesting" 10- The street cross section in Detail 2/2 looks different from the corresponding detail on the Tentative Plat. The right side is shown to provide parking when the Tentative Plat is showing 6' bike lane. According to the Tentative Plat, the left side should have a 5' sidewalk, not a meandering walkway. The meandering walkway also appears to be shown in the wrong location and its width is 4' narrower than the one shown on the Tentative Plat. Address this issue and revise as necessary. 11- Show the wall between the lots on Detail 16/3. 12- Show right of way line on Detail 8/2 and on all similar details. 13- It appears that Detail 4/3 callout, near Lots 169, 176 and 161, on Sheets 4 and 5 of 6, corresponds to Detail 4/3 shown on Sheet 3 of 6. Revise as necessary. 14- Reference all proposed ramp details on the plan view on all sheets. 15- Please be advised that proposed retaining walls may require a separate permit. 16- Show the right bank slope on Detail 1/6. 17- Show location and call out the wall opening(s) for "B" and "C" type lots (i.e. Lot 153). 18- Provide a detail that shows the proposed 6" orifice opening at the inlet of all detention basins bleed pipes. The orifice shall be installed closer to the pipes inverts. 19- Areas where the dimensions vary can be identified on the plan or in the description below the detail. Additionally 20- City's experience with grouted riprap that 4" grout is usually not sufficient and deteriorates in a relatively short period of time especially when it is installed improperly. This Office recommends using a minimum of 6" grout based on the proposed rock size. 21- Work in the public right of way requires an excavation permit and/or a private improvement agreement. Check with City of Tucson Department of Transportation Permits and Codes for additional information. 22- Resubmit the redlined grading plan with future Grading Plan submittals for comparison. 23- 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. 24- Submit a revised drainage report that addresses the drainage modifications if necessary. 25- Additional information may be required with next submittal. |
