PUBLIC COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION
1. The Chair noted three capital budget items
recommended by the TAB have been acted upon by the county:
·
A four-way stop or other traffic calming device installed at
·
A three-way traffic light installed at Pebble and
·
Three-way stop signs (or a light) at Windmill and
Thank you to Commissioner Brager and
Commissioner Sisolak who helped move these projects forward.
2. Robert Horton operates a convenience store
with gas station on the NW corner of Blue Diamond and Rainbow. He had comments about the lane barrier on
Rainbow north of Blue Diamond. This
island makes it difficult for customers to access his business. The result is
business has dropped off since the construction of the lane barrier. He proposes constructing a strip of asphalt
down the west side of Rainbow (his property) between his convenience store and
Wigwam so that his customers can return north to Wigwam via that strip and then
be able to make the left turn north on Rainbow, which is now not possible. The Chair directed this item be placed on
the agenda for the meeting on February 24, 2010.

This application has drawn strong resident
interest and concern. The TAB
recommendations are based upon the residents’ concerns.
The TAB conditions are somewhat unconventional. The TAB felt the absence of Focus to defend
its master planned community has created a vacuum. This vacuum needs to be filled to ensure some
continuity within the Mountain’s Edge sub-divisions. One way to do that is
bring the new products introduced into a sub-division into the public review
process. This would give the residents
an opportunity to comment on what is happening around them. It would also allow negotiations with the
residents to help maintain continuity within a sub-division. PC

This is another example where Mountain’s Edge
residents are very concerned with the sub-division development.
This product has not produced a neighborhood
that works for the residents. The HOA has banned on street parking. This ban is
a result of emergency vehicles not being able to reach a location where they
are needed. The 5 ft driveways and the
minimal distance between driveways result in significant parking problems. The
roads are narrow with no sidewalks. This sub-division was designed to pack the
greatest number of houses into the sub-division.
The TAB also felt no waivers should be granted
until the project is made more livable for the residents through the addition
of additional parking and open space.

Discourage the premature vacation of local
streets.
This policy was added due to the number of
local streets being vacated before the area traffic patterns are

This application posed a dilemma for the
TAB. The TAB supports the maintenance of
conditions placed on a zoning application.
It also wants to see the small businessperson prosper. This application has to fit into one of two uses
that can sell packaged goods. The two uses
are convenience and grocery stores. This
applicant is too small to qualify as a grocery store (6000 sq ft minimum). Yet, that is their business. There needs to be a change to the development
code to allow a small business to qualify for a limited liquor license and not
be called a convenience store. The
convenience store use with a 24 hour operation and gas pumps is not appropriate
for this location.
The TAB felt two factors worked in favor of
the applicant. First, the hours of
operation are being restricted to the current store hours.
Hours of operation limited to:
Monday thru Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Second, the location within the complex does
not favor the expansion into a full convenience store operation.
Another concern is a second person acquiring
the convenience store use from the applicant and creating a more intense
use. The TAB added a condition that only
the suites currently being used by the applicant will have this wavier
attached. BCC agenda item # 19
