Re: 
Rally’s Restaurant Final Plat 
12239 W. Thunderbird Road 
Project Narrative 
 
This project is located at the southeast corner of Thunderbird Road and El Mirage Road.  The 
request is for the filing of a Final Plat.  As part of the first plan review of the building permit 
submittal, it was determined by the Engineering Department that a final plat for the proposed 
new Rally’s Restaurant would be required.  The basis for the request was as follows: 
 
• Agreements needed to be in place for cross access, parking, utilities, and drainage. 
• An eight-foot wide Public Utility Easement (PUE) was needed along Thunderbird Road and 
El Mirage Road frontages. 
• A one-foot wide Vehicular Non-Access Easement (VNAE) was needed along the frontages 
of Thunderbird Road and El Mirage Road except at the driveways. 
• A Water Easement was necessary for the landscape meter. 
The best way to depict these constraints was by filing all of them into a single document.  Thus 
the action requested is for review and approval of the new Final Plat for the Rally’s Restaurant.   It 
is my understanding that this review will be performed as an administrative type of review with 
the final request for approval going before the El Mirage City Council.    
 
Sincerely, 
 
Gregory L. Hitchens
