2.            VS-0559-11 – MONTE CRISTO, LLC:

APPROVED

ADD Public Works Conditions:

·   Waiver of off-sites on Wigwam Avenue except for paving

·   Wigwam Avenue to be developed to non-urban street standards

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Camero Avenue and Wigwam Avenue, and between Monte Cristo Way and Pioneer Avenue in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/bk/ed  (For possible action)

 

Wigwam is currently developed as a non-urban street.  The intent is to keep Wigwam as a non-urban road within the RNP.  Without these conditions, the applicant could be required to put in full off sites.

 

4.      VS-0560-11 – RICHMOND AMERICAN HOMES OF NEVADA: 

Held until December 28, 2011 TAB to renotice.

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County and portions of rights-of-way between Boyd Avenue and Starr Avenue, and between Pioneer Way and Buffalo Drive in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/rk/xx  (For possible action)

 

5.      VS-0562-11 – CHURCH OF LDS PRESIDING BISHOP:

APPROVED

 

VACATE AND ABANDON easements of interest to Clark County located between Blue Diamond Road and Gomer Road, and between Cimarron Road and Durango Drive and a portion of right-of-way being Cimarron Road located between Blue Diamond Road and Gomer Road in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/co/ed  (For possible action)

 

6.      WS-0558-11 – LENNAR COMMUNITIES NEVADA, LLC:

APPROVED

ADD Current Planning Condition:

Waiver of development standards is limited to 20% of the lots.

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce the front setback in conjunction with a compact lot single family development on 20.0 acres in an R-3 (Multiple Family Residential) P-C (Planned Community Overlay District) Zone in the Mountain’s Edge Master Planned Community.  Generally located on the east side of Buffalo Drive, 660 feet south of Cactus Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/rk/ml  (For possible action)

 

Waiver Of Development Standards:  Reduce the front setback to the second story living space to 10 feet where 15 feet is the minimum and 13 feet was previously approved (a 23% reduction)

 

The TAB did not want to limit the new model addition to the community.  However, the TAB is concerned with the increased setback reduction and the potential negative effects on neighborhoods.  This is a compact lot community with smaller setbacks to start with.  This application further reduces those minimal setbacks.  The additional 3 foot reduction in setback could increase the canyon effect in some community areas. 

 

The TAB is opposed to blanket waivers for a project.  Waivers should be targeted for a specific purpose. The TAB recommended the setback reduction be limited to 20% of the lots.  This would allow the developer to change or add models without needing a new waiver. Plus, keep the project closer to the code and help prevent the canyon effect.

 

7.      WS-0561-11 – MONTE CRISTO, LLC:

Held until December 28, 2011 TAB by the applicant.

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Allow non-decorative walls;

2) Increased wall height; and

3) Waive landscaping requirements

 

for a proposed single family residence on 5.0 acres in an R-E (Rural Estates Residential) (RNP-I) Zone.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Monte Cristo Way and Wigwam Avenue within Enterprise.  SB/bk/xx  (For possible action)

 

01/04/12 BCC

 

8.      ZC-0552-10 (WC-0115-11) – MAVERIK, INC:

APPROVED

ADD Public Works Condition:

·   Access to Blue Diamond Road to be located approximately halfway between Durango Drive and Arlington Ranch Blvd.

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change requiring no access to Blue Diamond Road in conjunction with an approved convenience store on 2.4 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone and C-2 (General Commercial) Zone.  Generally located on the southwest corner of Blue Diamond Road and Durango Drive within Enterprise (description on file).  SB/bk/ed  (For possible action)

 

The TAB supports the Maverick convenience store and service station as an appropriate project for this corner.

 

Traffic safety along and adjacent to Blue Diamond Road has been a concern for a long time.  The accident rate was very high, including many fatalities.  This has resulted in several safety concerns, including the number of curb cuts on Blue Diamond Road.  The desire is to keep the number of curb cuts to a minimum.  The TAB position is there should be one curb cut along Blue Diamond between Durango and Arlington Ranch to service the area.  This will require Maverick to secure BLM permission to use land west of their property for an access point.  This permission must be in writing before the project can proceed.

 

The center line barrier along Durango is essential.  Experience has shown it eliminates a left turn into and out of the property and the accidents caused by those turns.
