Re: OV913-007 and 008 - Proposed La Posada senior care campus on a 77-acre
property known as Rooney Ranch Area Z and a 2.5 acre property known as
Rooney Ranch Area A and proposed amendment to the Environmentally
Sensitive Lands (ESL) map to modify the Critical Resource Area (CRA)
boundaries on the property, located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue
and Naranja Drive, 2"d submittal.
The Town of Oro Valley has completed the Engineering review of the proposed
amendment to the ESL map to modify the CRA boundaries on the property and the PAD
amendment request and offers the following comments to be addressed on the final
submittal:
General Comments
1. Engineering does not have any comments on the proposed amendment to the
ESL map to modify the CRA boundaries on the property.
Site Analysis and Tentative Development Plan
2. Page 46, Section 10 — Revise text to reference 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design for all accessible walkways.
3. Page 52, Section 7.b. — Remove bullet #3 regarding benching requirements, and
bullet #10 regarding walls and planting areas. These items do not meet the criteria
of the Zoning Code and will require approval of a grading exception.
4. Page 56, Section 2- Reference the letter dated August 8, 2014 from the Town of
Oro Valley (Fritz Laos) for additional floodplain requirements and include the
requirements in the text. It is acknowledged that a general summary of
CLOMR/LOMR was added, however, there are specific details/requirements (items
3-8 in the letter) that are not included in the text. Add these items to the text of the
Site Analysis and depict on the TDP as applicable.
5. A coordination meeting with the Town of Oro Valley, Pima County and the
applicant/design team will be required to establish the project criteria and details
for the proposed analysis, design and construction of the bank protection and any
additional mitigation that may be required as a result of the construction of the
bank protection.
Traffic Impact Analysis
6. There may be additional comments forthcoming on the TIA. (Note: the TIA was
received under separate cover after the submittal of the Site Analysis and TDP)
If you have any questions, please call me at (520)229-4824.
Sincerely,
Josh Potter, P.E.

Re: OV913-007 and 008 - Proposed La Posada senior care campus on a 77-acre
property known as Rooney Ranch Area Z and a 2.5 acre property known as
Rooney Ranch Area A and proposed amendment to the Environmentally
Sensitive Lands (ESL) map to modify the Critical Resource Area (CRA)
boundaries on the property, located on the southeast corner of 1st Avenue
and Naranja Drive, 1st submittal.
The Town of Oro Valley has completed the Engineering review of the proposed
amendment to the ESL map to modify the CRA boundaries on the property and the PAD
amendment request and offers the following comments:
General Comments
1. Engineering does not have any comments on the proposed amendment to the
ESL map to modify the CRA boundaries on the property.
2. The Town strongly encourages the developer to work with the adjacent northern
land owner (Capri) to explore the possibility of providing vehicular access between
the two properties. Please provide an update as to the status of the agreement for
access. An access easement/agreement will be required. Also, be aware of
topographic and sight visibility constraints for the proposed road connection and
the spacing of the proposed roads in relation to the signalized intersection.
3. The PAD refers to First Avenue in several locations within the text and maps.
The recorded designation for this road is 1st Avenue. Revise where necessary.
4. There are several references to a drainage report submittal with the Conceptual
Site Plan submittal. The drainage report submittal is not required until the submittal
of the Final Site Plan.
Site Analysis and Tentative Development Plan
5. Page 23 — Provide the ADT for Oracle Road south of 1 st Avenue.
6. Page 23 — Provide the ADT for Tangerine Road between La Canada Dr. and 1st
Avenue.
7. Page 23 — Revise "Pusch Ridge Lane" to "Pusch View Lane".
8. Exhibit L — Revise the label of the 8" sewerline. It is currently labeled as a
waterline.
9. Tentative Development Plan — Provide a tentative development plan that meets
the requirements of the attached checklist.
10. Page 46 — Retention is not allowed in Oro Valley. Revise the text to remove
references to retention. Also, add a statement that this project will comply with all
water -harvesting requirements per section 27.6 of the TOV Zoning code.
11. Page 46 — Item 2. — Revise the discussion of floodplain encroachment to clarify the
raise in water surface due to encroachment is 1' only if both sides of the floodplain
are within the property boundary, otherwise only 0.1' is allowed. Revise the text
similar to the discussion on page 47, Item 4.
12. Page 46 — Revise the text of section 1 to indicate that the approval of the detention
waiver request is at the discretion of the Town Engineer at the time that the waiver
request and supporting documentation is submitted. Approval is not guaranteed
and is not approved as a part of this PAD amendment request.
13. Reference the letter dated August 8, 2014 from the Town of Oro Valley (Fritz Laos)
for additional floodplain requirements and include the requirements in the text.
14. Page 51 — The TDP does not appear to have any sections of proposed roadway
with a median. Clarify the location of section 1 on the TDP.
15. Page 51 — Twelve (12) foot wide vehicular travel lanes have been proposed.
Please be aware that 14' is the standard, and that on -street parking is prohibited
on a 24' wide street section. Please note that an additional 1' of pavement width is
required for the divided section of roadway to allow for edge striping along the
median. In addition, a separate approval of the street widths will be required from
Golder Ranch Fire District. Please coordinate this with Chris Kiel (520-825-5987)
of Golder Ranch Fire District. (TOV Subdivision Street Standards Sec: 6.1)
16. Page 51 /67/80 — There are numerous references to proposed bike lanes
throughout the proposed streets. However, the street cross -sections do not provide
sufficient width for bike lanes or identify the bike lanes within the cross-section
graphics. (TOV Subdivision Street Standards Sec: 6.1)
17. Page 67 —Expand the traffic discussion to indicate that the developer will be
financially responsible for providing any additional project related improvements as
necessary at the intersection of E Lambert Lane and N 1 st Avenue.
18. Page 72 — Expand the discussion on grading requirements to include benching
requirements, degree of sloping, slope treatments, etc.
19. Page 72 — Indicate in the text that the project will meet the requirements of the
ESLO Hillside grading requirements.
20. Page 81 — Vertical curb shall be required for all street sections with adjacent
sidewalk. If ribbon curb is requested in -lieu of vertical curb, then adequate
separation from the edge of travel lane shall be required.

21. Pedestrian connectivity must be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Town
Engineer throughout the project site if sidewalk is not proposed on both sides of
the street.
22. Page 92 — The text previously indicates that bank protection will be built for this
project. Expand item a to indicate that if bank protection is not built, any
development within the flood prone areas and flood related erosion prone areas
will be in accordance with both local and federal requirements. If construction of
the bank protection is in question, expand the previous discussion to indicate the
affect this will have on the proposed development areas and the proposed site
layout.
Traffic Impact Analysis
23. Provide an update as to the status of the agreement for access through the Kai
property. Provide an additional analysis without Naranja Drive as a part of this
project.
24. The PAD discusses retail uses that are open for community wide use. In addition
other activities that are open to public such a painting classes, a performing arts
center, daycare facility and a planned community park is also discussed. Account
for the impact of these uses/facilities in the traffic impact analysis.
25. There may be additional comments forthcoming on the TIA.
