| 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. Cross section detail 12/13 could not be verified on the grading plan sheets. It is assumed that the the numbers are a typo. If not add the correct symbol and sheet number. Revise the number 13 to 3 on the cross section detail symbol on lots 230, 236, 238, and 298. I believe the numbers should be 12/3 if the cross section is for the detail depicting the side lot drainage. 4. LAbel the tentative plat case number in the lower right coerner of all grading plan sheets. 5. 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. |

If phased development is proposed indicate the extent of work on the grading plan. 2. Reference the subdivision case number in the lower right corner of all grading plan sheets. 3. Ensure that all Engineering & Zoning comments and concerns are addressed. |

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.

Grading plan approvals expire after 180 days from the date when the review fees are paid plus another 180 days if an extension is requested. Once the permit fees are paid, the developer has 180 days before the permit expires unless inspection are requested in a timely manner. Address this issue and determine if it is still the developer's wish to review all phases the same time. 23- Work in the public right of way requires an excavation permit and/or a private improvement agreement.
