| 08/13/2009 | JASON GREEN | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: August 17, 2009 SUBJECT: 3450 E 34th Street- Engineering Review TO: MPE Attn: Lisa Bowers LOCATION: T14S R14E Sec21 Ward 5 REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM ACTIVITY: T09CM02096 (Site Plan) and T09BU01151 (Grading Plan) SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the proposed site plan (T09CM02096), grading plan (T09BU01151), Drainage Report (JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc., 03AUG09) and Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (JE Fuller Hydrology & Geomorphology, Inc., 04AUG09) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan or grading plan at this time. The following items need to be addressed: SITE PLAN COMMENTS: 1) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.5: Clarify the proposed lot lines as shown on the site plan. All lot combinations will require approval from the Zoning Section of the City of Tucson Development Services Department prior to site plan approval. 2) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan sheet A1.0 and Keynote #10 and #12 for the proposed gate location at the PAAL entrance adjacent to the proposed handicap parking spaces. The keynotes have been reversed in plan view and do not correspond to the proposed improvements. 3) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to clearly show the PAAL entrance located at the northwest corner of the building is closed off from traffic along 34th Street. If the entrance is to be abandoned then it must be closed off with a continuous curb that matches the existing curbing along 34th Street. Provide a detail or show in plan view the construction of the required curbing at the abandoned driveway entrance. Per Keynote #5 the existing parking area is to be removed and Keynote #20 the loading dock is unused and this area is to be turned into a water harvesting area, depressed 6-inches, revise. 4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the required turn around area at the proposed gate locations at the entrance from 34th Street. Contact Jose Ortiz with Traffic Engineering (837-6730) for design criteria. 5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Verify and label the 18-feet radii and concrete curbs per City of Tucson Transportation Access Management Guidelines (TAMG), Section 5.5 at the driveway entrances located on 34th Street and Golf Links Road. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C for street development standards. Standard driveway entrance design requires prior approval, in writing, from TDOT Permits and Codes, Thad Harvison at 837-6592. 6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the required 5-foot sidewalk within the public right-of-way of 34th Street per DS Sec.3-01.3.3.A. All new development requires a new 5-foot sidewalk to be constructed within the public right-of-way. 7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the connection of the required pedestrian circulation path from the proposed building to the required sidewalk located along the frontage of 34th Street. The pedestrian circulation must meet the requirements within DS Sec.2-08. 8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Revise the site plan to label all offsite handicap access ramps within the public right-of-way on both streets to verify they meet the design requirements per the Public Standard Detail #207. Provide details and minimum slope requirements at all transitions from pedestrian circulation to vehicular circulation. 9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Refer to comments from Ron Brown, RA Structural Plans Examiner for all onsite handicap and ANSI Standard requirements that apply to this project. 10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the required maintenance easement for the proposed basin outlet spillway located within the public right-of-way. Provide the recordation information for the maintenance easement (future maintenance of the spillway will be private and is the responsibility of the lot owner) for the proposed spillway that is shown offsite. Grading of the site can not be permitted until the maintenance easement is recorded. 11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Clarify the discrepancy in Keynote #5 on the site plan and Keynote #2 on the landscape plan. Per the site plan the existing parking area to the west of the building is to be removed and the area depressed 6-inches as a water harvesting basin. The landscape plan calls out parking to remain, clarify. Revise the civil sheets and the proposed topography to demonstrate this proposed water harvesting area so that the site plan, grading plan and landscape plan match. 12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Provide the Improvement Plan reference number for the existing catch basins and storm drains located along 34th Street. All existing drainage improvements that are shown on the site plan must have the referenced improvement plan for site verification. 13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.17: Provide the cut and fill quantities on the site plan. 14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan to label both 34th Street and Aviation Parkway as public. 15) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.21: Clarify on the site plan the existing vertical curbing versus wedge curbing location within the public right-of-way of 34th Street. Verify if the proposed driveway entrances are at curb cut locations or if they are located at the wedge curb areas. 16) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Verify all maneuverability for the proposed refuse container location. The turning radii, approach and back up design have been reviewed and are acceptable; however per the landscape plan the area adjacent to the refuse container proposes 2 trees. Verify the minimum height requirements per DS Sec.6-01.2.2.B.3. Overhead lines, branches, etc. must meet the minimum 15-foot clear height requirement for refuse pick-up. 17) 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. 18) Be advised that further comments may be forth coming on resubmittal of the site plan. GRADING PLAN: 19) Provide a copy of the stamped approved site plan (T09CM02096). The grading plan can not be approved until verification that all details, locations, dimensions, and plan profiles match the approved site plan. Verify all information associated with the site plan is shown on the grading plan which will be used as the construction document. 20) Revise the civil sheet and Section A to provide construction details for all proposed riprap slope protection. Verify that the slope protection meets the minimum recommendations within the required Geotechnical Report. Provide the minimum rock size (based on rock riprap calculation), thickness, filter fabric specifications, method of placement, toe down, building setbacks, etc. for construction purposes. 21) Revise Section A to provide a Standard Detail call out (Standard Detail for Public Improvement #105) for the proposed hand rail adjacent to the basin and sidewalk. 22) Revise Detail A on Sheet C1.0 to provide all details and dimensions for construction purposes. The outlet weir and spillway must provide all dimensions for thickness, height, width, toe down depth, etc. The spillway that extends into the right-of-way must also be detailed and dimensioned on the grading plan for construction purposes. The minimum bleed pipe size for a basin outlet is required to be 6 inches not the 4 inches as labeled, revise. 23) Revise the grading plan to clearly show the PAAL entrance located at the northwest corner of the building is closed off from traffic along 34th Street. If the entrance is to be abandoned then it must be closed off with a continuous curb that matches the existing curbing along 34th Street. Provide a detail or show in plan view the construction of the required curbing at the abandoned driveway entrance. Per the site plan (Keynote #5) the existing parking area is to be removed, the loading dock is unused and this area is to be turned into a water harvesting area, depressed 6-inches, therefore public access must be limited and a continuous curb is required within the right-of-way. 24) Verify and label the 18-feet radii and concrete curbs per City of Tucson Transportation Access Management Guidelines (TAMG), Section 5.5 at the driveway entrances located on 34th Street and Golf Links Road. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C for street development standards. Standard driveway entrance design requires prior approval in writing from TDOT Permits and Codes, Thad Harvison at 837-6592. 25) Revise the grading plan to label and dimension the required 5-foot sidewalk within the public right-of-way of 34th Street per DS Sec.3-01.3.3.A. All new development requires a new 5-foot sidewalk to be constructed within the public right-of-way. 26) Revise the grading plan to label and dimension the required maintenance easement for the proposed basin outlet spillway located within the public right-of-way. Provide the recordation information for the maintenance easement (future maintenance of the spillway will be private and is the responsibility of the lot owner) for the proposed spillway that is shown offsite. Grading of the site can not be permitted until the maintenance easement is recorded. 27) Clarify on the civil sheets and the proposed topography the water harvesting area proposed along the west side of the building. Verify that this proposed water harvesting area is shown on the site plan, grading plan and landscape plan to match. 28) Provide the Improvement Plan reference number for the existing catch basins and storm drains located along 34th Street and shown within plan view. 29) Revise the grading plan sheets to include the reference to the Geotechnical Report required for this project. Provide the date, job number, engineer who prepared the report, etc. 30) Provide a general note on the grading plan to state the following: "Call for a Pre-construction meeting prior to start of earthwork.
