(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 shall be salvaged and replanted in areas requiring revegetation, whenever possible. b. Revegetation All cut or fill slopes that are no steeper than three horizontal to one vertical and all utility trenches or septic leaching fields that are not located in parking or driveway areas shall be revegetated in compliance with the following standards: (1) All plants used in revegetation shall be the same as the native vegetation on the site prior to grading or clearing or any adjacent site; and, (2) Revegetation shall be accomplished with the following minimum standards for plants: (a) Desert trees, a minimum of 15-gallon size with a minimum trunk diameter of two inches measured at the soil level, or large specimen cactus shall be placed at the same vegetation density found on the site prior to any clearing, grubbing, or grading; and, (b) Seeds for trees, desert shrubs, and grasses shall be planted with a density adequate to control erosion and may use one of the following methods of planting: Raked into the soil with appropriate mulch materials; hydroseeding; anchored mulches; or established on jute, rolled straw, or similar material. Another method may be approved by PDSD. (3) A temporary watering system shall be installed until the revegetation materials are established. 3. Slope Stabilization All slopes steeper than a ratio of three horizontal to one vertical, with the exception of retaining walls, shall be stabilized with properly engineered stone riprapping or sculptured rock as follows: a. Stone riprapping shall be hand-placed on the slope; b. The stabilizing material used shall blend with the natural appearance of the site or lot and the surrounding terrain; and, c. Vegetation retention and revegetation should be used in conjunction with riprapping. |

| 10/26/2020 | JPEELDA1 | FIRE | REVIEW | Reqs Change | This residence will have a “fire-flow calculation area”(2018 IFC Appendix B, Section B102 and 105.1) greater than 3,600 sq. ft.: therefore this house will require a residential sprinkler system unless the fire flow in the nearest hydrant is met. Additionally, the hydrant must be within 600’ of all parts of the residence. Contact Tucson Water engineering (Fred.Coy@Tucsonaz.gov) for a hydraulic analysis. Provide notes on plan regarding verification of fire flow and proximity of hydrant or intent to install a fire sprinkler system. If a system will be installed, residential or quick response sprinklers shall be used. The sprinkler system may be connected to the domestic water supply, provided the required design density can be met. Be advised that Tucson Water will not allow a residential sprinkler system to be supplied by a 5/8" meter. A minimum of ¾” meter will be required by Tucson Water. Residential fire sprinkler system shall be installed in accordance with the 2018 IFC and NFPA 13D. |
