PUBLIC COMMENTS AND DISCUSSION
1.A TAB member requested that the white stripes on Arville at the
intersection of Arville and Windmill be removed now that the stop sign at the
intersection has been moved from the Arville north/south direction to the
Windmill east/west direction. A problem
exists that drivers traveling on Arville are still stopping at the intersection
because of the white stripes.
2.A suggestion that the speed limit on Arville between Warm Springs and
Blue Diamond could be raised to 35 mph; another person felt the speed limit
should best remain 25 mph.
3.Information developed after the last TAB meeting points to a problem for
some small businesses. The Business
Licensing Dept. has been issuing business licenses for ‘mom and pop’/ethnic
groceries, butcher shops, etc., as ‘grocery.’
However, most are too small to qualify as grocery under Title 30. The divergence between Titles 8 and 30 could
put the small grocery out of business.
The discussion of this problem will be placed on the

This item resulted in a prolonged discussion
with the following points:
1.The neighbors do
not like the idea of a school.
2.The TAB had serious
questions about using construction trailers as classrooms.
3.There is a lack of
strategic planning on the applicants’ part.
4.The piecemeal
development of the property without a strategic plan will result in problems
down the road.
5.There is a
potential to be seriously under parked even through the current plan meets
minimum county standards.
6.The TAB needs to
know how the school will develop before rendering a decision on a school permit.

on 2.8 acres in an H-2 (General Highway Frontage) Zone in the MUD-4 Overlay
District. Generally located on the southwest corner of
The application raises the question of when is
a standards reduction too great. Is a
large reduction in the standard justified because the backdoor is an emergency
exit and there is a landscape buffer/wall in place? The reduction of standards is incremental. It is a series of small actions that, over
time, chip away at the standard until the standard become meaningless.
The TAB was split on this recommendation. One group felt this convenience store would
not have an adverse impact on the neighborhood.
They felt the current buffer was sufficient to protect the
neighbors. The other factor is the back
of the convenience store faces the neighborhood. The applicant stated the front door would be
used for the service entrance.
Experience has demonstrated that this may not be the case.
A reduction in the distance required by Title
30 was justified by ‘unique circumstances’ for this application. Using this reasoning, most code protections
can be ignored.
The other opinion was a 24 hour operation,
15ft from someone’s backyard, is not acceptable. The 24 hour nature of this application is not
appropriate for a neighborhood commercial center. This is the second 24 hour
business in this center. The applicant
also indicated a tavern is being planned for this center. The trend is toward a more intense land use
than was intended.
The application as written by the staff would
add a convenience store permit to any location within the center. The TAB desired the permit be restricted to
the two suites currently proposed for the convenience store. PC routine action item agenda item # 15

Most of the work has been
completed for these off-site improvements.
However, some of the work has to be corrected. The applicant was using profit proceeds of
new home sales to fund the work to fix the off-site improvements that needed to
be corrected. The applicant is
maintaining a bond which guarantees the work will be completed. Civil Engineering did not indicate if the
bond was adequate to complete the work.
The TAB most likely will see
more applications of this type as developers run out of administrative
extensions to complete off-site work. If
the developer goes out of business, the county must be willing to call the
bonds to complete the work. BCC agenda item # 20

This application is an example of what is
happening within the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community.
·
Focus has been absent to defend it master plan
·
Builders has have gone bankrupt, land goes to the bank, new
builder buys the unfinished lots
·
Residents very concerned about new home products introduced into
their master planned subdivision.
·
Residents are left in the dark about new home products are under
construction
·
The new home product may not blend in with the neighborhood.
·
Sub-division become something very different from what the
current residents bought into
·
The continuity promised by the master planned community goes up
in smoke
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.
