| 11/10/2010 | JASON GREEN | ENGINEERING | REVIEW | Denied | DATE: November 17, 2010 SUBJECT: 921 W Congress Street- Engineering Review TO: Arquitecto E.J. Ornelas & Associates LOCATION: T14S R13E Sec14 Ward 1 REVIEWERS: Jason Green, CFM ACTIVITY: T10CM03100 (Site Plan) SUMMARY: Engineering Division of Planning Development Services Department has received and reviewed the proposed site plan (T10CM03100) for the above referenced property. Engineering Division does not recommend approval of the site plan at this time. The following items need to be addressed: SITE PLAN COMMENTS: 1) Due to the full code expansion requirement per the Zoning Section make sure that all dimensions, details, sections, keynotes, proposed improvements and all other aspects of this project meet the minimum requirements within DS Sec.2-02, 3-01, 3-05 and 6-01 and are reflected on the site plan sheets. 2) Since the site plan will be used as the construction document all General Notes, details, dimensions and keynotes must be added to the plan set. Make sure that all dimensions, details, sections, keynotes, proposed improvements and all other aspects of this project meet the minimum requirements within the above referenced sections and are reflected on the revised plan sheets. All Keynotes that call out a new structure must reference a Standard Detail for Public Improvement or a detail must be provided showing it meets the minimum recruitments within said details (i.e. a sidewalk keynote should reference Standard Detail #200). 3) Provide a General Note on the site plan that references all special overlay zones that are applicable to this site, specifically state that the plat is designed to meet the overlay zone criteria for Major Streets and Routes (MS&R) Setback Zone, LUC Sec.2.8.3. 4) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.2: Revise the site plan to provide a legal description for the subject parcel. Either in the title block or in the location map. 5) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.4: Revise the location map to accurately show the subject property. The property is south of the section line not across it. 6) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Revise the site plan to include the referenced keynote (#15) to the required 6-inch curbing around the proposed vehicular use area for separation. Clearly show that all curbing is labeled for consistency and that a Standard Detail reference is provided for construction purposes. 7) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.8: Clarify the area behind (north of) the building. Per the site plan this area is to remain undisturbed with landscaping however aerial photography clearly shows that this area has been used for vehicular parking and no landscaping was visible. Provide a landscape plan showing the landscaping and the enclosure of the access gate to prevent vehicles from entering this area. 8) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.10: Revise the site plan to provide the dimension for the future MS&R sight visibility triangles for the PAAL entrance per DS Sec.3-01.5.3. Future MS&R right-of-way for Congress is 100-feet. 9) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.11: Verify and label the 25-feet radii for both sides of the proposed driveway per City of Tucson Transportation Access Management Guidelines (TAMG), Section 5.5. Refer to DS Sec.3-01.3.2.C for street development standards per MS&R design. Standard driveway entrance design or reduced radii for curb returns will require prior approval, in writing, from TDOT Permits and Codes. 10) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Clarify the sidewalk dimension on the site plan for all proposed and existing sidewalks to include, the sidewalk in the right-of-way, the one adjacent to the south side of the building and the sidewalk that connects the building to the right-of-way. 11) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.12: Clarify the width of the existing sidewalk within the right-of-way. Due to full code requirements the minimum sidewalk width along the right-of-way is 5-feet. If the sidewalk is less than 5-feet a Development Standard Modification Request (DSMR) will be required to allow the sidewalk to remain as is. Provide photographic documentation that the sidewalk is in good condition and is not crack, buckled or missing in places. 12) 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. At a minimum the plan must label and dimension the striped access aisle and all ramps from the handicap spot to the building. 13) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.14: Provide on the site plan a loading zone area and verify the maneuverability for the required loading zone. Refer to AASHTO for the national standards for turning radii. Label the minimum inside and outside radii for the loading zone to verify maneuverability. 14) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.16: Revise the site plan to provide the minimum widths for all proposed curb cuts. Provide a detail for the curb cuts clearly dimensioning width and terminal section of curb. Label all opening locations on the site plan with a keynote referencing the detail for clarity. 15) DS Sec2-02.2.1.A.16: Provide a note on the site plan to state; "Water Harvesting Areas to be depressed a minimum of 6-inches." Refer to the City of Tucson Water Harvesting Guidance Manual, Ordinance # 10210 for recommendation on how to construct and maintain the required water harvesting areas for onsite flow containment. 16) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.19: Revise the site plan to label and dimension the future right-of-way for Congress Street. The Existing right-of-way is 80-feet however the future MS&R right-of-way will be 100-feet (50-foot ½-r-o-w). Provide all dimensions for the right-of-way, the future curb and sidewalk locations and for the future 25-foot curb returns at the driveway entrance. 17) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.A.32: Due to the full code compliance of the site plan provide written approval from Environmental Services that the existing refuse pick up (enclosure and maneuverability) are still acceptable or if any changes will be required to meet their Refuse Standards within DS Sec.6-01. Any changes required will need to be shown on the site plan with accurate details. 18) DS Sec.2-02.2.1.C: The site plan must be accompanied by a landscape plan with information specified in DS Sec.2-07. The site plan and landscape plan must show identical site layout to avoid conflict and due to the new landscape area around the vehicular sue area. 19) 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. 20) Be advised that further comments may be forth coming on resubmittal of the site plan. GENERAL COMMENTS: Please provide a revised site plan that addresses the comments provided above. Include a comprehensive response letter addressing in detail responses to all of the above comments. Enclose "redlines" with the resubmittal package. Further comments may be generated upon resubmittal of the site plan review.
