DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 
 
This proposal requests the removal of the existing drainage easement within the 
boundary of Lots 95-99 via Maricopa County’s Re Plat process.  This easement can be 
found on the Amended Plat for Vista Verde Unit 1 (Bk 971, Pg 13 M.C.R.) prepared by 
Brooks Engineering & Surveying Inc.   Lots 95-99 are currently under construction and 
have all been graded under separate building permits. Each of the lots have been graded 
with side and rear yard swales, where half the lot direct flows to the street and the 
other half to the rear yard. There is an existing drainage easement that runs the length 
of the lots and convey flows above ground from the west to the east along the rear lot 
lines. The rear yard low point for each of the lots is located in southeast corner of the 
lot.  A Grading & Drainage Plan will accompany the Re-Plat submittal and provide 
instructions for the construction of a storm drain that will be constructed within the 
new drainage easement.  This storm drain will convey the aforementioned above 
ground stormwater flows within its length across the rear of lots 95-99.  Refer to 
Figure’s 3 and 4 for the Grading & Drainage Plans and Drainage Memo prepared for the 
stormwater improvements.    
 
 4.0 RELATIONSHIP TO SURROUNDING PROPERTIES 
 
As noted above, Lots 95-99 lie within Vista Verde Unit 1.  Adjacent properties include 
medium density residential uses as well as open spaces provided by the adjacent Trilogy 
Golf Course.
