accommodate that, the Cit will re several of the documents that are referenced within the
Conditional Use Permit to be provided and to be on file within the Cit offices before the actual
permit or an buildin permit to be issued thereto can be issued. Those documents to be filed with
the Cit will consist of the followin
1. Pursuant to Para 5 of the permit, if it has not alread been done, a final
Li Plan to be provided b the district indicatin the provisions for
li of the area between the parkin lots and the entrance g ates and
bleachers.
2. Para 7 of the permit references the district's proposed Emer
Evacuation Plan for the stadium. If it hasn't alread been completed, a final
draft of the Emer Evacuation Plans submitted to and approved b the

4. Pursuant to Paragraph 9 of the permit, if the district plans to install any
signage relative to the stadium facility, all signage must comply with Section

sign construction will be implemented as part of that construction.
5. Pursuant to Paragraph 10, in the event that the district intends to change,
alter or replace the existing scoreboard a new plan will have to be submitted
for that structure; however, it was your previous representation that the

relative to that issue.

Transplanting Plan be submitted to and approved by the City Arborist.

are any changes or modifications necessitated as a result of Valley Branch
comments or modifications to their permit as issued, those should be
promptly submitted to the City Engineer, as well.

and Traffic Management Plan. The final plan must be submitted to and
signed for approval by the City Administrator and the Chief of Police and be
