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. Draw and label the 10' non-motorized public trail esm't. on sheets 6 and 7. 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.

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.

Depress all landscaped areas a maximum of 6" for waterharvesting". 11- It appears that Lots 385-388 do not comply with the requirements of differential grading as described in Development Standard 11-01.8.0 Fills. Either readjust the said lot elevations or verify compliance with the requirements of D.S. 11-01.8.0. 12- According to the approved Drainage Report, Lots 393-395 and 385 are Type "A" lots. The Grading Plan shows those lots as "C" and "B" lots. Address this issue and discuss any possible adverse impact on the approved drainage scheme. 13- Show the wall between the lots on Detail 10/2. 14- Provide additional details for the proposed retaining wall shown on Lots 393-401 and 476 (i.e. length, height, cross sectional details, etc.). Please be advised that retaining walls may require separate permits. 15- Revise the wall footing, in Details 11/2, 15/3 and 3/5, to show the footing completely within the lot area. 16- Provide description for Keynote #15 callout shown within Lot 470. 17- Either fill in the missing recordation information relating to Mountain Vail Shipley, on Sheet 4 of 7, or remove the note if it is not needed. 18- The elevations shown on Detail 2/5 are different from the elevations shown in the Tentative Plat on the corresponding detail. Clarify the differences or revise as needed. 19- According to the approved Drainage Report, Lot 452 is a Type "A" lot. The Grading Plan shows this lot as "B" lot. Address this issue and discuss any possible adverse impact on the approved drainage scheme. Please be advised that lot to lot drainage is not acceptable (check also Lot 423). 20- The support beams, in Detail 1/5, appear to be floating in the air. Show all required detail that are needed to build the catch basin including the beams supports. 21- The pipes inverts, in Detail 1/5, appear to be different from the catch basin elevation where the pipes will be. Revise as necessary. 22- Clarify on Detail 8/3 that the flared end belong to the proposed drainage pipes. 23- Provide the slope of the emergency access described in Keynote #16, on Sheet 6 of 7. 24- It seems that all pathways and emergency accesses that are wide enough for vehicles should be blocked by removable bollards to prevent inadvertent vehicular access. 25- Will the riprap on the 1:1 slopes, in Detail 1/6, be grouted? Clarify on the detail and provide the rock size, etc. 26- Provide the dimensions of the grouted riprap pad on the right side of Detail 1/6. 27- Check the pipe slope in Detail 1/6 and revise if necessary. 28- Does the structure shown in Detail 1/7 cross the public right of way? If not, remove the reference to R/W because it might be confusing. 29- All drainage pipes that are proposed with bends require manholes or cleanout. 30- Provide the dimensions of the riprap shown on the right side of Detail 4/7. 31- There should be some bollards at the end of Rincon Range Drive near Lot 501. 32- Provide construction easement to work on the adjacent property near Lot 409. 33- Show the concrete curb terminal detail near Lot 501. 34- Label the streets whether they are public or private. 35- Provide Lots 272-274 existing contour lines and elevations.

Additionally, provide distances to clarify how far a slope starts from a lot line or a curb, etc. 37- All proposed cuts and fills shall be pulled back a minimum of 2' from the parcel line. Revise all applicable details accordingly. 38- 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. 39- Please be advised that since this project has been phased out into 8 different phases, it is assumed that grading all eight phases will not happen all at once. 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 inspections 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. 40- 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. 41- Resubmit the redlined grading plan with future Grading Plan submittals for comparison. 42- 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. 43- Submit a revised drainage report that addresses the drainage modifications if necessary. 44- Additional information may be required with next submittal. |
