Agenda note: SUBJECT MATTER: In the matter of the aforementioned described application of Viking Road LLC (Signature Homes) for a waiver of development standards, and design reviews (as indicated on the ATTACHED agenda item) (held from July 7, 2021):
REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: There being no objections, Item No. 17 was taken in conjunction with Item No. 18.
Following introduction of Item Nos. 17 and 18, the Board was addressed by the applicant’s representatives, Jennifer Lazovich and Rick Baron, who advised that the proposed site was for a gated community of twenty-one single-story homes with an entrance off Viking Road; confirmed and read into record the agreed upon additional conditions which included that all homes in the project would be single-story, and that all homes on the west side of the project would have a 20-foot rear-yard setback not to include any balconies or patio covers; multiple neighborhood meetings were held regarding the wall separation conditions along the east boundary, and details were shared that illustrated the need for the five-foot easements between a screen wall and the residents at that time; due to grading and the way the site was positioned a second wall was required along the east boundary; the wall conditions along the eastern boundary of the project side was reviewed, and neighbors were emailed with information that accounted for the reason for the separation of five-feet easement and the screen wall; that the entrance would be humped and the elevation raised which would eliminate offsite drainage to enter the site from Viking Road; improvements downstream would eliminate areas of current ponding, that the north boundary wall was leaning and would be repaired at the Developers expense, and that the parcel was an infill property and the wall that was built thirty years ago had not taken future drainage needs into consideration.
John Benario, Marsha Johnson, and George Jones spoke in opposition to the request, and expressed concerns regarding drainage, runoff, erosion, and damage to the existing adjacent neighboring walls and homes.
In response to Commissioner Tick Segerblom, staff stated that the proposed project, had a 10- to 12- foot change in elevation on the lot, and that drainage would not be worsened by the project but likely mitigated and improved; that submittal of a technical drainage study to the Public Works staff was required with intended mitigation plans condition; the involvement of neighboring communities to the north were covered by Clark County Unified Development Code (UDC) Title 30 and standard drawings, and could be included as a condition; if no easement existed for adjacent properties to accept flows, the Developer would be required to address and mitigate drainage and flows to those properties.
Legal Counsel advised that the amount of water that drains to the north could not be increased and would need to be addressed through a technical drainage study. | Pass |
