Clark County Zoning Commission
| Approved
Agenda note: SUBJECT MATTER/RECOMMENDATION: In the matter of the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the Board of County Commissioners approve the aforementioned described application of Building Hope Betty Lane, LLC (Ethos | Three Architecture) for a waiver of development standards (as indicated on the ATTACHED agenda item) (appealed by a neighbor):
REPRESENTATIVE(S): Present
SPEAKER(S): Present
DISCUSSION: Following introduction of the item, John Sullivan, the applicant’s representative, provided a brief history on the project; the waiver for development standards was for alternative landscaping along the southern side of the property; and advised that per a Geotek study, no irrigation was recommended in the area due to expansive soils.
Lauren Graves spoke regarding various water issues on the property; the wall on the property was only waterproofed on one side which raised a concern of possible cracks in the wall; the main concern was the type of tree, a Texas Mountain Laurel, which was approved for landscaping and whose seed pods were considered highly toxic; and recommended that the standard not be waived which would allow for the planting of pine trees.
Mary Ann Deane spoke in opposition to the item due to the approved tree for landscaping whose seed pods were highly toxic.
Responding to a question from Commissioner Segerblom, Mr. Sullivan advised that the type of tree had been previously approved by the County; and that the trees would be planted in sealed boxes to contain the irrigation.
Ms. Amundsen advised that the trees chosen should be listed on the Southern Nevada Water Authority SNRPC Tree List. | Pass |
