prior to the issuance of a building permit by the lead agency.
2. Comply with all ACHD Policies and ACHD Standard Conditions of Approval for any improvements or work in the right-of-way.
3. Obtain a permit for any work in the right-of-way prior to the construction, repair, or installation of any roadway improvements (curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement widening, driveways, culverts, etc.).
