MEMORANDUM  
 
TO: 
 
Jose Macias, Planner/GIS 
FROM: 
Bryce Christo, P.E., Assistant City Engineer 
SUBJECT: 
Pueblo El Mirage Fitness Center and Pool Area Remodel Site Plan Review  
DATE: 
06-26-24 
 
Below are the Engineering Division’s comments for the above referenced submittal provided in 
June 2024. These items will have to be addressed prior to the Planning and Zoning Meeting. 
 
1. None.  
 
The below items will have to be addressed during the Construction Plan Submittal. 
 
Narrative 
2. No comments. 
 
Site Plans (Includes Grading & Drainage Plans and Architectural Plans) 
3. If the existing water and sewer services are to remain in place, show the locations and 
sizes on the plans. 
4. If fire suppression of the building is required, a separate 6-inch fire service line and 
backflow preventer will be required.  
5. A separate landscaping service, meter and backflow preventer will be required. If these 
appurtenances already exist, show the locations and sizes on the plans. 
6. Show the square footage of the existing building, the proposed addition and the combined 
total. 
7. The Plans must show all easements within the project boundaries. 
8. Preliminary Grading & Drainage Plans 
a. Plans shall include the most current, applicable City Notes. The COEM General 
Info Notes on the cover sheet are out of date.  
b. The Vicinity Map should reference Section 24 not 23. 
c. The Flood Zone Section should reference Zone X (Shaded).  
d. The cover sheet shows the parcel in the Area and Legal Description sections as 
501-86-555A and B but the proposed improvements take place on 501-85-927. 
9. Demo Plan D1.00 – Callout #2 calls for the demolition of the existing parapet but this 
note does not show up on the plans. Is this note required? 
 
Exterior Elevations 
10. No comments.

Preliminary Landscape Plan 
11. See Comment #5. 
 
Preliminary Drainage Report 
12. The Area section of the Grading & Draining Plans shows the proposed site increases the 
impervious area by 2,116 square feet. The Preliminary Retention Statement states that the 
amount of imperious coverage will not change. Which is correct?  
13. If the impervious coverage does not change or is reduced, revise the plans accordingly. If 
the impervious area is increased, a Drainage Statement/Report will be required that (a) 
shows the increase from existing to proposed, (b) shows the additional volume created, 
(c) shows which basin(s) the additional flow will run to and (d) verifies that the basin(s) 
can accommodate the excess runoff and will dry up within 36 hours. 
 
Preliminary Sewer & Water Reports 
14. It has been noted that no new upgrades to the water or sewer services will be necessary 
therefore no sewer or water reports are required. See Comment #3. 
 
Traffic Impact Statement 
15. No comments as the proposed improvements are not anticipated to increase vehicular 
trips on City or private streets. A Traffic Impact Study will not be required for this 
project  
 
Title Report 
16. No comments. 
 
ALTA Survey 
17. Not required. 
 
Phase I ESA  
18. Not required. 
 
Miscellaneous 
19. A Haul Permit will be required if 500 cubic yards or more of material will be brought 
into or out of the site. This will require a separate application, an exhibit showing the haul 
route and insurance from the company performing the haul. The fee is $300. 
20. A Dust Control Permit from the County will be required prior to the release of any 
Engineering permit. 
21. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be required per the City’s SWPPP 
Guidelines document. A Notice of Intent (NOI) from ADEQ will be required prior to 
release of any Engineering permit. 
 
The above comments are meant to be general in nature and are not considered to be all inclusive. 
Additional comments will arise during the formal permit submittal.

Date:

Mrs. Griffis,  
Please see the review comments from the El Mirage Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for 
the site plan amendment approval for the request mentioned above.      
 
BUILDING & SAFETY – Brigham Bennett 
1. No comments provided. 
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT – Tom Doyle 
2. No comment provided.  
ENGINEERING – Bryce Christo 
3. See attached memorandum.  
FIRE DEPARTMENT – Jason Napier  
4. On sheet G1.00 under adopted codes it lists “2018 Phoenix Fire code” We do not have 
that code adopted here.  
5. We have the 2018 International Fire Code with City of El Mirage amendments. This 
needs to be corrected as Phoenix’s code is vastly different.  
6. Also there needs to be notes relating to the requirement for deferred submittals for any 
fire sprinklers, fire alarms, and kitchen hood systems and equipment. 
PLANNING & ZONING – Jose A. Macias 
7. See attached memorandum.  
POLICE DEPARTMENT – Andrew Vanderwerf
