Development of the site shall comply with the site plan entitled, “Military Compatibility Permit with Plan of Development”, consisting of two (2) full-size sheets, dated revised February 20, 2015, and stamped received February 20, 2015, except as modified by the following conditions. b. Development and use of the site shall comply with the narrative report entitled, “West Valley Regional Water Reclamation Facility”, consisting of thirty (30) pages, dated revised February 19, 2015 and date stamped received February 20, 2015 except as modified by the following conditions. c. The following Planning Engineering comments shall apply: 1. The final grading design for the site shall be such that all developed portions of the site, with the exception of the wastewater recharge basins, will drain to the storm water retention basin(s). 2. The maximum retention basin depth (measured from the basin bottom to the calculated high water elevation) shall be 3 feet; maximum side slopes of retention basins shall be 4:1 (without implementation of safety measures). 3. All development and engineering design shall be conformance with section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards, Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for construction. 4. Engineering review of the planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only and does not represent final design approval nor shall it entitle applicants to future designs that are not in conformance with Section 1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance and Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; and the MCDOT Roadway Design Manual. 5. Detailed Grading and Drainage Plans showing the new site improvements must be submitted for the acquisition of building permits. d. All outdoor lighting shall conform to the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. e. Development and use of the site shall comply with requirements for fire hydrant placement and other fire protection measures as deemed necessary by the applicable fire department. f. Recordation of the 20’ ingress/egress/utility access easement for the southern boundary and the 30’ ingress/egress/sewer easement for the northern boundary shall be provide to Planning and Development for compliance with this condition. A copy of the recorded 25’ x 25’ sight visibility triangles for ingress/egress access along the southern and northern boundaries of Alsup Ave. will be provided to Planning and Development for compliance with this condition. g. Non-compliance with the regulations administered by the Maricopa County Environmental Services Department, Maricopa County Department of Transportation, Drainage Review Division, Planning and Development Department, or the Flood Control District of Maricopa County may be grounds for initiating a revocation of this Military Compatibility Permit as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. h. The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, with the consent of the landowner. The granting of this approval allows the property owner to enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the underlying zoning existing on the date of application, subject to conditions. It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed that revocation of this Military Compatibility Permit due to the failure to comply with any condition does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, sell, or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation. The Military Compatibility Permit enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the Military Compatibility Permit is granted and revocation results in the same value of the property as if the Military Compatibility Permit had never been granted.
