Add the following notes to site/grading plan pertaining to: Vegetation Retention and Re-vegetation:

1. Existing trees with four (4) inch or greater trunk diameter and cacti will be preserved in their original locations, except for building sites and access and utilities serving building sites.

2. When retention of the above trees and cacti in their original locations is not possible due to building site location, the trees and cacti will be salvaged and replanted in areas requiring re-vegetation, whenever possible.

B. Re-vegetation. All cut or fill slopes, which are no steeper than three (3:1) and all utility trenches or septic leaching fields which are not located in parking or driveway areas will be re-vegetated in compliance with the following requirements.

1. All plants used in revegetation must be the same as the native vegetation on the site or any adjacent site prior to grading or clearing.

2. Revegetation will be accomplished with the following minimum requirements for plants.

a. Desert trees, a minimum of fifteen (15) gallon size with a minimum trunk diameter of two (2) inches measured at the soil level, or large specimen cactus will be placed at the same vegetation density found on the site prior to any clearing, grubbing, or grading.

b. Seeds for trees, desert shrubs, and grasses will be planted with a density adequate to control erosion and may use one of the following methods of planting or any other method approved by the Zoning Review Section at DSD.

1) Raked into the soil with appropriate mulch materials;
2) Hydro-seeding;
3) Anchored mulches; or
4) Established on jute, rolled straw, or similar material.

SUMMARY: The SFR site plan submittal was received and reviewed. Engineering recommends approval of the site plan with the following discussion regarding the grading plan. A grading permit will be required for this project. Address all redline comments from the counter review. You may submit the site plan as a Site/Grading Plan and provide all the information on the Site/Grading Plan sheets, or have separate grading plan sheets. On the grading plan show all lot linework as depicted on the Final Plat, and any easements are delineated and labeled. Per Development Standards (DS) Section 9-04.3, LUC 2.8.1, and as discussed at the counter, the grading plan shall show any revised FFE, design shall reflect any geotechnical recommendations, and slopes shall blend with the natural appearance of the site or lot and the surrounding terrain, with the use of handplaced rip rap and terracing. Show on planview and provide cross sections that clarify and shows the revised rear slope configuration. If FFE changes, a revised Site Plan is needed. Slopes equal to or exceeding 25% shall not be used for development except as required for access and utility construction. Clearly delineate and label these areas.

If you have questions or would like to set up a meeting, call me at 837-4934.
