03/25/2009 JASON GREEN ENGINEERING REVIEW Denied DATE: March 27, 2009
SUBJECT: 3088 E Benson Hwy Site Plan- Engineering Review
TO: Stanley Engineering & Drainage, Inc. Attn: Jeff Stanley
LOCATION: T15S R13E Sec14 Ward 04
REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM
ACTIVITY: T09CM00519 (Site Plan)


SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Development Services Department has received and reviewed the site plan (T09CM00519) and Hydrologic/Hydraulic Report (Stanley Engineering & Drainage, Inc., 06MAR09) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan application at this time. The following items need to be addressed:


HYDROLOGIC/HYDRAULIC (HH) REPORT:

1) Revise the Introduction paragraph to correctly label the project location. The paragraph states that the location is between Medina and Elvira Road, when it is actually south of Benson Hwy and west of Country Club Rd, revise.

2) Revise the Introduction paragraph to include the FEMA AH designation for the special flood hazard area that is shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Map panel number 04019C2241K.

3) Revise the Objective paragraph to include an item for establishing the required erosion hazard setback from the regulatory wash. Provide a discussion with calculations to determine the required erosion hazard setback area from the Earp Wash. Label and dimension the limits on the post developed work map along with the proposed site plan. If applicable provide a discussion along with calculations for any erosion protection if it is determined that the proposed building falls within this area.

4) Clarify in the developed condition hydrologic data sheets the overall watershed area used to determine developed offsite flows. Per the introduction paragraph the overall site is 1.7 acres, however watershed #1 and #2 when added together only adds up to 1.4 acres, clarify the discrepancy.

5) Clarify in the calculation sheet for Stormwater retention the area used to determine 5 year threshold volumes. The equation used for the watershed plus the water harvesting areas do not add up to the overall 1.7 acres of the proposed development, clarify.

6) Revise the post developed work map to include all details or keynotes for the proposed hydraulic structures. Per the keynotes it references details on Sheet 3, however the work map is only sheet 1 of 1, revise.

7) Provide calculation sheets and a discussion within the HH Report for all proposed hydraulic structures for the proposed detention/retention basin. All aspects of the proposed drainage improvements/scheme must be clearly detailed in the report, including rock riprap sizing, filter fabric, retaining wall design, basin dimensions, erosion hazard setback, curb openings, security barriers, weir outlet structures, bleed pipes, etc.


SITE PLAN COMMENTS:

8) Revise the site plan to include the activity number for the site plan application assigned to this project, T09CM00519, where indicated by "T09CM."

9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.2: Clarify the gross area of development labeled in General Notes #3, #21 and the area labeled in the Introduction paragraph of the HH Report. Per the HH Report and the retention volume calculations the gross area of the site is 1.7 acres, however General Notes #3 and #21 calls out 1.86, clarify. If 1.86 is the actual acreage of the site revise the HH Report and calculations appropriately.

10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.5: Clarify the proposed lot lines and conveyed property as shown on the site plan. Per the last recorded Assessor map, this project proposes a lot combination and/or reconfiguration clarify. All lot combinations or reconfigurations will require approval from the Zoning Section of the City of Tucson Development Services Department prior to site plan approval.

11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to include 6-inch curbing around the entire proposed vehicular use area. Curbing is required to prevent encroachment onto the undeveloped portion of the property. Provide a label with the associated keynote #11 to verify locations.

12) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to show a minimum unobstructed radius of 5 feet that is required at PAAL intersections, unless the PAAL is designated as a fire lane or access for refuse collection then a minimum unobstructed radius of 18 feet is required per DS Sec.3-05.2.1.3.b.

13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise Sheet 2 of the site plan to provide a keynote and keynote call out for the proposed parking stalls and the detail provided on Sheet 3.

14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.10: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the existing and future sight visibility triangles (SVTs) for PAAL intersections with Benson Hwy and Country Club Road. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.5.1 for sight visibility requirements.
