PUBLIC COMMENTS:
The Water Reclamation District will hold its first public meeting about the Enterprise Water Resource Center on Friday, 24 Aug at 3:30 at the Enterprise Library. They have formed a review board which consists of several nearby homeowners, a TAB member, and several interested individuals.
The following is taken from the Water Reclamation District presentation to the Enterprise TAB on 14 Feb 2007 The water district is planning to develop a water reclamation plant on eighty acres bounded by Arville, Agate, Serene and Valley View. This plant would separate the solid waste and send it to the east side of the valley for further processing. The gray water would be processed onsite and then be used for golf courses and possibly parks. The time line is 2 yrs for land acquisition, permits and design. Then, two years for construction. This facility will have an impact on the area, not just at the facility, but on all the pipelines needed to make it work.

This is difficult property to develop due to a 100 ft Nevada Power easement diagonally across the property. The developer has done an excellent job of designing around this restriction. The project will bring much needed retail to the area. The project building height is 25 ft with some design elements to 32 ft. The properties to the south and west are residential and plan to build two-story houses. The height of the retail center will fit nicely with the surrounding neighborhoods.

DESIGN REVIEW for a new retail building on a portion of 2.1 acres in a C-2 (General Commercial) Zone. Generally located on the northwest corner of Cactus Avenue and Cameron Street within Enterprise.

USE PERMIT FIRST EXTENSION OF TIME to commence modified residential development standards.

USE PERMIT to allow 7 horses where 2 horses are permitted on 0.6 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the southwest corner of Valley View Boulevard and Arby Avenue within Enterprise.
The property has been the home to a number of horses for more that 30 years. All indications are the horses are well cared for. The one complaint received is the placement of the dumpster and where Silver State leaves it when they empty it. The TAB required a pad be constructed within the property boundaries and use it for the dumpster. PC Item 15 consent agenda
USE PERMIT to allow an accessory building prior to construction of a primary residence on a 0.5 acre portion of 0.9 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone. Generally located on the southeast corner of Haven Street and Robindale Road within Enterprise.
The property has a large house on the north half. If the property is divided, the house would immediately require a waiver for side setbacks on the south side. The TAB has two objections. First is the need for an immediate waiver for the current house; and second, no purpose or future plans submitted for the accessory structure. The property, as divided, would provide the minimum size plot for another house. The TAB is seeing a number of applications for minimum lot size within the RNP-1 zone district. PC Item 16 consent agenda

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the setback from a pharmaceutical manufacturing to a non-industrial use on 9.4 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) (AE-65) Zone in the MUD-2 Overlay District.

7. VS-0679-07 – DAVIS FAMILY TRUST 1993: TAB Approved
AMENDED HOLDOVER VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Levi Avenue (alignment) and Irvin Avenue (alignment), and between Las Vegas Boulevard South and Giles Street, (previously notified as a portion of right-of-way being Levi Avenue located between Las Vegas Boulevard South and Giles Street) in an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone in the MUD-1 and MUD-4 Overlay Districts within Enterprise (description on file).

The developer planted five feet of landscaping outside the block wall. The problem is the landscaping is in the right-of-way that Clark County owns. The roads in this area are developed to rural standards, so the loss of right-of-way is not critical. The benefit of this waiver is the landscaping is on the outside of the wall instead of the inside. PC Item 25 consent agenda

13. WS-0799-07 – PALM BEACH RESORTS CONDOMINIUMS, LLC: TAB Denied: 3 to 2
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to allow a freestanding sign where not permitted on 14.5 acres in an H-1 (Limited Resort and Apartment) Zone in the MUD-1 Overlay District. Generally located on the south side of Serene Avenue, 400 feet west of Las Vegas Boulevard South within Enterprise.
The TAB agreed with the following staff comments. How can we waiver something that is not permitted in Title 30. The Boca Raton Condominiums are a residential development and freestanding signs are not permitted in conjunction with residential uses. Staff finds that the visibility provided by freestanding signs is not necessary for residential projects. One of the findings that should be made in approving a waiver of development standards is that the proposal is an alternative that meets or exceeds all other requirements in Title 30. Another finding is that an alternative standard will encourage a development trend or a visual character similar to that anticipated by the requirements of the sign code. These findings cannot be made since freestanding signs are not permitted in residential developments. PC Item 36
14. WS-0808-07 – RAFCON, LLC: TAB Approved
WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for reduced setbacks on 5.5 acres in an M-D (Designed Manufacturing) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District. Generally located on the northwest corner of Lindell Road and La Costa Canyon Court within Enterprise.
This project has been built in stages and this is the last one-third. The first two-thirds were approved and permitted with items that now require a waiver. This is a case where the code has not changed but the people issuing the building permits have changed. PC Item 30 consent agenda
15. WS-0810-07 – JDF DEVELOPMENT, INC: Held by applicant request

The condition of approval pertinent to this application states, "providing sidewalks on one side of the interior private streets." The applicant states the required sidewalk along the internal streets was not constructed for 16 of the homes in this subdivision, due to an oversight by the builder. The TAB felt the sidewalk should be constructed as a safety factor. The builder needs to correct their mistake. BCC item 50, afternoon
