HELDOVER FROM JUNE 12, 2012 MEETING:

1. DR-0276-12 – CLARK COUNTY:

DESIGN REVIEW to construct a decorative perimeter fence around an existing public facility (Desert Breeze Soccer Park Complex) on 40.0 acres in a P-F (Public Facility) Zone. Generally located on the northeast corner of Durango Drive and Spring Mountain Road within Spring Valley. SB/rk/ml (For possible action)

Approved 4-0 with additional conditions: All gates must allow both ingress and egress, and there should be a maximum number of gates to allow for easy pedestrian access.

There was considerable discussion of the item involving both citizens and TAB members. The plan was presented as an effort to protect the park grounds, especially in the wake of a rainstorm. Some citizens complained about making access more difficult. TAB pointed out there was not even a gate directly available at the crosswalk from designated parking areas at Desert Breeze. But, the most questions were raised about the wisdom of spending funds to fence a public park at a time when austerity is causing job losses and service cuts. The TAB concluded it was asked to advise on the design alone and deferred spending recommendations to the staff and the BCC.

Held at the request of the applicant.

The applicant first asked that a vote be taken despite the total lack of inputs and information from Public Works. TAB members expressed empathy with his desire, but stated they could not make a recommendation without the critical information. We apologized that our responsibility to the PC, BCC and our neighbors to advise could not be properly fulfilled without the staff reports. Discussions ended with the applicant asking the item be held.

Approved 4-0 WITHOUT staff “if-approved” conditions. This applicant is in the RNP1 overlay. Her request was to be able to improve her property in harmony with her neighbors. She further asked that rural standards for offsites remain the standard in the RNP. Several neighbors expressed support for the request. The staff report was not provided until the item was being presented. It was the first time the applicant had learned the staff recommended denial of her application and the additional request to maintain rural standards in the rural area. TAB members expressed concerns about the timeliness of the staff report and the recommendation to impose non-standard conditions within an RNP. They also concluded the “if approved” conditions did not properly protect and respect the RNP and recommend rural standards be applied.

Approved 3-1 with staff conditions. There was no opposition presented to this application. The applicant admitted his violations of permitting requirements that led to his open CCPRO case. There was reason to believe the CCPRO complaint may be the result of a neighbor dispute, although no neighbors appeared. The majority concluded it is appropriate to allow the finished garage to stand. The single vote against was based on a consistent belief by a member that setbacks should not be reduced.
