07/23/2010 ANDREW CONNOR NPPO REVIEW Denied Passive Water Harvesting Technical Requirements. The following technical requirements apply to all passive water harvesting systems.

1. Water Harvesting Infiltration Areas shall be designed so that water infiltrates into soil within twenty-four (24) hours.

2. Water Harvesting Infiltration Areas shall be designed to minimize ponding in areas that may create a nuisance for pedestrians. Ponding is not allowed on or over public sidewalks or required pedestrian circulation paths.

3. Materials for erosion control shall be specified where they are necessary due to erosion potential. The ground surface treatment of spillways.

Ensure that all Engineering comments and concerns are addressed.

Drainage Report:

1. Address waterharvesting and show how it will be maximized by directing roof drainage towards waterharvesting basins.
2. It appears that the waterharvesting basin, south of the building might be too close to the proposed building. Provide a revised Geotechnical Report that addresses building setback from ponding water and revise the drainage report accordingly.
3. Show on the onsite drainage exhibit all waterharvesting basins and roof drainage arrows. Clarify how the roof drainage will be directed to the waterharvesting areas.
4. Show on the drainage exhibit existing spot elevations/contour lines.
5. Show on the drainage exhibit all proposed drainage solutions/structures with all required details (i.e. type, materials, location, size and dimensions, slopes, grades, scuppers, high and low points, water ponding and slope setback lines, , waterharvesting basins, , cross section locations and details, etc.) that would clarify how the proposed drainage scheme will work. The drainage information shown on the development plan and grading plan will be based on the information provided in the drainage report text and drainage exhibits.

Site/Grading Plan:

1. Show and label grading limits. Include the grading limits symbol in the legend.
2. Show on the plan the basis of bearing, between two established benchmarks, and the tie between the basis of bearing and one of the project corners. Provide the bearings and distances for the basis of bearing and the tie.
3. Provide the Site and Grading Plan Case numbers.
4. Title the Site Plan Sheet and The Grading Plan Sheet as "Site/Grading Plan".
5. All easements proposed to be abandoned, must be processed by a separate instrument and the easements shall not be shown on the plans. Provide documentation verifying abandonment.
6. It appears that, currently, the project consists of three different lots. Lot combo might need to be processed to remove the different lot lines before the submittal can be approved. Refer to Zoning comments for additional information.
7. Show the existing contours around the site at least 25' from property lines.
8. The proposed trash enclosure is located in the public right of way, which is not acceptable. Relocate the enclosure within the project.
9. Reference the trash enclosure standard detail on Detail #19/C4.
10. Provide the pedestrian sight visibility triangles at the entrance.
11. Provide the radii for all curb curves.
12. Show and label clearly the parcel's perimeter wall.
13. Provide the building's roof drainage arrows. Additionally, show any required sidewalk scuppers that might be needed to convey roof drainage underneath the concrete walkway next to the building, to the parking lot.
14. Show and label, on the Site/Grading Plans, the waterharvesting basins. Additionally, verify that the waterharvesting basin depths will not exceed 6".
15. Show the required setback from the waterharvesting basin, south of the proposed building. The setback shall be in accordance with the recommendation of the geotechnical report.
16. Add the following general notes:

a. Any proposed 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.
b. The contractor is not permitted to make an autonomous decision to carry out construction field changes without prior written approval from the Engineer of Record and the City of Tucson Development Services Department.
c. The project will be in compliance with City of Tucson Development Standard 11-01.0 (Excavation and Grading).
d. A copy of the approved Grading Plan, Grading Permit, and any Geotechnical Reports shall be kept at the site at all times, until final grading approval.
e. Any revision to the Grading Plan MAY require a re-submittal of a revised grading plan for review. Contact DSD Engineering at 791-5550 to discuss changes in grading design.
f. If grading construction is expected to last longer than the expiration date of the grading permit, contact DSD to renew/extend the Grading Permit. If Final Grading Inspection has not been completed before the Grading Permit expires, and the permit has not been renewed, additional fees and reviews may be required.
g. Contact Permits and Codes at 791-5100 for any questions regarding any right-of-way permit requirements.
h. As-builts and letters of completion for basin and overall project are required.
i. The Engineer of Record shall submit a statement of conformance to as-built plan and the specifications.
j. The permitee shall notify the DSD when the grading operation is ready for final grading inspection. 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.
k. Depress all landscaped areas a maximum of 6" for waterharvesting"

17. Revise the Site/Grading Plan in accordance with the drainage report revisions.

Landscape Plan:

1. Ensure that the landscaping within the sight visibility triangles does not obstruct sight

Grading Plan (1st Review)

TRANSMITTAL DATE: July 30, 2010

1. The grading plan has been reviewed by Zoning Review Section but cannot approve the plan until it has been approved by the Engineering, and Landscape Review Sections and until all zoning comments or concerns have been addressed.

2. Zoning could not approve the grading plan until the site plan has been approved. Please submit two copies of the approved and stamped site, landscape, and NPPO plans with the next grading plan submittal.

3. Zoning will re-review the grading plan on the next submittal to insure compliance with the approved and stamped site plan. Additional comments may be forthcoming.

If you have any questions about this transmittal, please contact me at Steve.Shields@tucsonaz.gov or (520) 837-4956
