PRESENTATION:

 

Discussion on trail issues in Enterprise (for discussion).

County staff: Scott Hagen, Mario Bermudez, Ron Gregory.

 

STAFF PRESENTATION:

 

VEGAS VALLEY Past Situation:

·  BCC approved/adopted the current map in early 2011 (update from 2007 map)

·  Since that time:

o    Valley-wide development has increased again.

o    More trails have been completed.

o    Updates of GIS mapping data

o    Trails Map/Comp Plan Element updates on the horizon

 

ENTERPRISE AREA

·  Equestrian Trails – N/S of Blue Diamond & Western Trails Park

·  Equestrian Trailhead near Wigwam and Durango

·  Future Southwest Ridge Recreation Area Trail

·  On-street connects to County trail system

·  Exploration Peak Hiking Trail

·  Mountains Edge Regional Park Path

 

TRAIL CHALLENGES:

·  Increasing Development & Trails

o    Development submittals are reviewed for trail issues

o    Interface with developers/engineers/planners regarding trails

o    Provide support to Commissioners/Liaisons for trail issues/questions (BCC – final decision makers)

·  RIGHT-OF-WAY(ROW) issues in RNP Areas

o    Many undeveloped parcels – no ROW dedication or option to purchase.

o    Lack of ROW seriously impacts trail implementation.

·  FUNDING

o    SNPLMA funding has decreased significantly due to decrease BLM land sales.

o    Other sources of funding – typically inadequate/require matching funds.

 

TAB CONCERNS:

·  No single source for the land owner/public/TAB to find trail easements.

·  Staff has been unable to provide accurate trail requirements for land use applications.

·  Staff is more concerned on what cannot be done as opposed to making it happen.

·   How does a neighborhood develop an internal trail plan? The answer did not provide guidance to the TAB.

·  How does the TAB know what is to be dedicated as a trail if current BLM land is recently acquired by a developer?

·  Need to show local roads in the Master Transportation Plan required to complete trail alignments/system.

·   County does not protect local road needed to support public facilities, including trails.

 

PUBLIC DISCUSSION:

·  Questions about width of equestrian trails. 

·  Complaint that this is too much land to take from a land owner for trails and other public requirements.

·  Is there a standard for trail width dedication?

·  The Mountains Edge Master Plan has an established trail plan with a 30 ft. width.

·  Discussion on how the county determines what is to be dedicated as trail.

·  Need a map showing what trail segments are dedicated or not and what is required to complete the trail.

·  Now: not dedicated, street alignments are not shown or made known to the public or the TAB.

·  When does land owner find out if there is an easement?

·  Only three trails in the valley have been tracked by the county for use.

·  What is to prevent a horse from entering a multi-modal trail from an equestrian trail – or vice versa - when one connects to the other?

·  The current horse crossing on arterials is not adequate. 

o     Better equestrian crossings need to be built.

o     Significance resistance to better equestrian crossing by public works.

The TAB based its recommendation on the following:

·                                                                     Hinson St. is a ¼ section line road that should be developed for area traffic flow.

·                                                                     Every developed property along Hinson St. from Blue Diamond Rd. to Torino Ave. has dedicated the right-of-way.

·                                                                     It is too early in the area development to remove road segments or alignments from this area.

·                                                                     In Enterprise, previous local road vacations have resulted in increased traffic flow problems, loss of county proposed facilities and lack of good access to currently proposed projects.

·                                                                     No plan has been put forth to show the local roads required for area development.

·                                                                     Until a plan for the Airport land in the area is developed, the Hinson St. alignment/dedications should not be eliminated.

·                                                                     The cut through traffic shown and trash accumulation would not be fixed with the Hinson St. right-of-way removal.  The applicant indicated the cut through traffic is on Airport property, east of the current Hinson St. dedication.

7.       WS-0633-15 – LEWIS INVESTMENT COMPANY NEVADA, LLC:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff “if approved” conditions per plans presented.

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS to reduce setbacks in conjunction with an approved single family residential development.

 

DESIGN REVIEW for additional single family residential home models in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 20.1 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone in the MUD-3 Overlay District.  Generally located on the southeast corner of Blue Diamond Road and Park Street within Enterprise.  SB/al/ml  (For possible action) 11/03/15 PC

 

DR Horton has recently purchased this project from Lewis Investment Company Nevada, LLC.  DR Horton has replaced the pervious home models with four new designs.  Two of the four models require a setback reduction on the hammerheads. 

 

The request is for setback reduction on 10 hammerhead lots.  The side yard has been increased to compensate for the backyard reduction.  Instead of 5 ft. side yard setback the 10 hammerhead lots’ side yards range from 12 to 28 feet.  Seven hammerhead lots have side yard setbacks significantly greater than 13 feet.  Also, two of the four models require no reduced rear setbacks. 

 

TAB opinion is the developer has provided a suitable alternative to recommend approval of the Waiver of Developmental Standards.

 

NOTE:  APN 176-19-601-037 does not exist.  The correct APN is 176-19-601-034.

 

8.       WS-0637-15 – CULPEPPER, DONNIS & STELLA FAMILY TRUST:

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

WAIVER OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for increased wall height in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 5.2 acres in an R-2 (Medium Density Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the northwest corner of Neal Avenue and Turf Center Drive within Enterprise.  SB/mk/ml (For possible action) 11/03/15 PC

APPROVED per staff conditions

 

DESIGN REVIEWS for the following:

 

1) Proposed canopy;

2) Proposed site lighting; and

3) Proposed signage

 

in conjunction with an approved commercial development on 2.3 acres in a C-1 (Local Business) Zone.  Generally located on the west side of Dean Martin Drive and the north side of Cactus Avenue within Enterprise.  sb/pb/ml  (For possible action) 11/04/15 BCC

 

10.    WS-0639-15 – D.R. HORTON, INC:

Motion to:

APPROVE per staff "if approved" conditions and,

Recommend a fourth model be added to the mix

Motion PASSED

 

WAIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS for the following:

 

1) Reduced front setback; and

2) Off-site improvements (streetlights, curb, gutter, sidewalk, and partial paving).

 

WAIVER OF CONDITIONS of a zone change and tentative map (ZC-0061-15 and TM-0017-15) requiring full off-site improvements in conjunction with an approved single family residential development on 7.4 acres in an R-D (Suburban Estates Residential) Zone.  Generally located on the north side of Starr Avenue and the west side of La Cienega Street within Enterprise.  SS/gc/ml  (For possible action) 11/04/15 BCC

 

This project’s design and conditions have been negotiated between the developer, the residents, and Commissioner Sisolak.   The application completes the agreed upon design and conditions.

 

The reduced setback applies to two of the three proposed models.  All of the models will have a minimum of 20 foot driveways.  The reduced front setback allows the developer to provide a 40 foot backyard adjacent to the established RNP-1 to the north.  This was a negotiated condition to have larger backyards next to the RNP-1 area.

 

DR Horton representative indicated a fourth home model could be added that would meet the setback requirements.  The TAB highly recommends the fourth home model be added.

 

The waiver for La Cienega St. was not requested with ZC-0061-15.  This waiver is a negotiated condition between the developer and the area residents and did not make it into the original application. The east side of La Cienega St. to Starr Ave. is zoned RNP-1 which can be developed to rural road standards without waiver.  La Cienega St. north of the site is already developed to rural road standards.

 

To maintain a consistent road scape and as a RNP-1 traffic mitigation on measure the TAB recommends Waiver of Development Standards # 2 be approved.
