REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, the Board was addressed by the applicant, Bonnie Horsley, who advised that the proposed site contained two Conex boxes which had been in place for twenty years with no previous complaints or code violations, and were similar to other Conex type boxes seen on other properties throughout the RNP; both Conex boxes resided entirely within the property lines; the property was enclosed or surrounded by a six-foot fence and landscaping with mature trees; the Conex boxes were painted similar in color to the other property structures; the point of placement of one of the boxes was for the safety of the horses; at the time of the box placements Rosanna Street was not a dedicated street and ended at the north property line, and remained undeveloped with a twenty foot stretch of dirt between the property line and Pecos Road; a horse shade and weather shelter was attached to one of the Conex boxes; a large chicken coop was on the property and provided shelter and safety for the chickens from predators; and that unanimous approval was received from the Planning Commission, along with letters of approval from neighbors.
SPEAKER(S): Present
The Board was addressed by the appellant Scott Wyatt, who advised that the Conex boxes placed violated the property boundaries; fourteen smaller structures had been built illegally, not to code, and then combined into one large structure to avoid permit code restrictions; six-foot separations and ten-foot setbacks were not present where required; multiple fire code violations existed on the property which included illegal electrical connections, exposed wiring dangerously close to dry wood structures, exposed electrical outlets, and conduit with exposed Romex wire; the Conex boxes were not painted to match the home, and were not used for storage as stated by the applicant; multiple neighbors expressed opposition to the Conex boxes; and as the immediate neighbor shared concerns regarding the overall safety of the applicants property.
Commissioner Justin Jones advised that the applicant would need to clean up the property; that code issues were not currently before the Commission; encouraged the applicant and the speaker to move past the ongoing neighbor disputes; and added the condition that the applicant remedy any electrical or other safety issues that existed on the property within sixty days.
In response to Commissioner Jones, Denicio Bordeo spoke on behalf of the applicant, stated that the building permit process had begun, approval had been received from the Southern Nevada Health District, and that the permits would not be issued within 90 days.
Staff advised that a report or follow-up from the applicant should be provided to the Board within 90 days.
Commissioner Justin Jones amended the additional condition and stated that any electrical or safety issues on the property be remedied by the applicant within six months. | Pass |
