the drainage plan for the project shall be subject to a third party peer review.
MISCELLANEOUS
The project shall be constructed as approved. Minor modifications in the
design, but not the use, may be approved by staff. Any other change will
require Planning Commission approval through the Development Plan review
process.
Conditions of this approval may require the applicant to install public
improvements on land over which neither the applicant, nor the Town, has
easement rights to allow for the installation of the improvements. The
PAGE 17 OF RESOLUTION NO. 4-2003

materials created from the demolition of existing buildings and the
construction of new buildings were/are being recycled according to their
recycling plan, or in an equivalent manner.
The proposed project shall conform to the Town's Stormwater Management
and Discharge Control Ordinance (Ord. No. 94-19) and all applicable
construction and post-construction Best Management Practices (BMPs) for the
