on the edge there's a royal between where houses have been built and where new houses are proposed and we just I just wanted to know is that a royal to be preserved or is that going to be filled in okay Thank You mr. chairman through you pursuant as a development agreement for Sky Canyon the Arroyo czar to be preserved unless the they get the natural waterways through the federal government and then they can amend it to a linear type park with an alternate design but it's supposed to be retained as an open space element either in natural form or in an engineered form depending on federal approvals great and should we notice any change as far as construction is going to whom could we complain this chair to the Planning Commission in regards to ongoing construction out there it's either the master developer has called out in the development agreement I believe they're doing to change the assignment and it could be centric communities other than that it could be the actual builder of the the parcel that's going on this particular one I'm not sure if that's Toll Brothers or not but as far as any construction you see it's either the individual builder that's doing the the actual building of the subdivision or something a tie to the master developer or in other cases you can go through the master h away because that's been established thank you very much thank you thanks for coming out seeing no one else I've got a vice-chair Thank You mr. chairman at this time I'd like to entertain a motion to approve items 9 through 16 on the one motion one vote thank you there's a

public hearing items I'm bringing forward items number 38 and 39 I'd like to give our city clerk a second to organize Commissioner chata telephonically yeah we're having some technical skill hey that's me it's Sam you can hear us okay here we go we are back in action for items number 38 and 39 I don't number 38 dir 77069 applicant owner city of Las Vegas for possible and request to approve the 2020 planning commission meeting scheduled this was staff recommends approval this was notice as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard seeing no I'll close the public hearing and turn over to the commission for a discussion Commissioner slobbin well I'll just repeat what I've said I mean we've had a lot of Planning Commission hearings that went really laid it wasn't fair to us or the public and so I think two meetings were justified at this point now that we don't have short-term rentals and everything else that was keeping us here so so late at night we've been getting out by 7:30 8:00 I think 8:30 is an exceptionally meeting for us so even though I don't feel that anybody really would be in support on a council level or whatever I just one day express my opinion I think this could be handled in one meeting per month to help our City Planning Department out and regardless if they say it'll help them out or not I know it will because they're having did twice as many briefings and and Jen does and everything else and I know it puts a you know about a five-hour toll on every one of us preparing for it and going to additional briefings so I think it's a waste and I think we should go to one but that's just my own thoughts Thank You commissioner I will say I think the the Planning Department has the ability if we see in the first quarter or half way through to adjust the schedule back to two meetings a month if needed if it goes to one media is that correct thirty-two chairman we are monitoring basically the numbers of applications and then we're reporting that to the city manager's office there is ability in the schedule to vacate meetings based on a low number of projects and things of that and at another point you could always amend the the calendar through a subsequent action okay thank you so I'm hearing Trinity sounds like a question to go to one I would support that Commissioner rogen thank you I'd also support that I think that given the length of the meetings it's it's not really necessary to have two meetings a month I would say that since we do have the ability to pull forward items that if there is strong public interest in a particular item that we pull that forward and we use that as appropriate perhaps more than we have been in the past so that those applicants know that they need to be here at 6:00 p.m. just in case there's a number of different people from the community and want to speak and we can adjust our agenda accordingly okay by yourself I just was ready to make a motion okay let's make a motion I would like to make a motion to deny these two meetings a month and look forward to going back to one meeting a month okay there's a motion on the floor Commissioner Chadda to go to one meeting month deny this one okay that's a yes vote Commissioner Chadda please cast your votes please post and a motion carries thank you mr. chairman that's gonna move forward to City Council on December 18 2019 thank you moving on to item number 39 dar seven seven six to zero applicant owner city of las vegas for discussion of possible action request for the alack election of 2020 Planning Commission officers staff has no recommendation this was noticed as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard seeing no one from the public I will close that and I will first off say I think it's important that there is good rotation on the board for chair and so I will be making a nomination for Vice Chair to Salvio to chair the next coming year Thank You mr. chairman and I respectfully accept that nomination so I think we should vote individually additional nominations okay are we doing chair and then vice-chair okay there's a motion on the floor please cast your vote for Vice Chair to Salvio Commissioner Chadda did you hear the motion thank thank you please cast your votes please post and I motion carries thank you mr. Chairman I appreciate that very much and everybody on the Commission thank you very much for your support at this time I would like to make a nomination for Commissioner slot man as vice-chair okay there's a there's a motion on the floor any other nominations okay Commissioner Chadda we have a motion for conditioner slobbin for vice-chair for 2020 thank you there's a motion on floor please cast your vote please post that motion carries and we'll be going back to so item number 17 of the public hearing Commissioner Chadda will you be voice joining us for the rest of the agenda thank you very much thanks for joining okay moving on to the public hearing items items number 17 and 18 abeyance var 77275 applicant owner Zion Levenger for posture and request for a variance to allow 38 parking spaces where 62 spaces are required at 83 11 Farm Road Ward 6 staff recommends denial and related item abeyance SDR 77276 for possible action request for site development plan review for proposed conversion of a single-family residence to a 6000 179 square-foot banquet facility with a waiver of landscape buffer development standards Ward 6 staff recommends denial can we get the staff for staff report please mr. chairman the proposed development fails to comply with the minimum parking and landscaping development standards on October 14 2019 the applicant submitted a revised plan in landscape plan drawing which provided 61 parking spaces where 62 spaces are required and revised proposed perimeter landscape with implementing materials however a waiver is still required to allow four-foot wide landscape buffer on a portion of the South perimeter where 8 fee is required as such the required variance and waivers reinforce the unsuitability of this site for the proposed use therefore staff recommends denial of the project and all associated applications thank you thank you very much change your name and address for the record please name is zion Levinger 65 33 Rio Vista and so here's I don't know how to turn on the go to the overhead and okay so this is just an updated aerial view of it and we've actually modified our parking again where we we were able to nip and tuck some stuff to get that 60 second slot in there so we can fully comply with the 62 spaces it was also brought the there was a variance request for four-foot requests here but we we do have plenty of space there for the eight-foot requirement so in to my understanding unless I'm missing something we're compliant with that as well so far as I can tell we've nipped and tuck this to the point to where we are compliant on on every line item but we're here to answer any questions yeah okay this was notice as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard seeing no and I will close the public hearing turn over to the Commission for discussion do you want it does he want to state that yeah we were just discussing because we there is a formality that if the variance was to go away that we'd have to have plans turned in would have to get reviewed and then kind of go through the process correct chairman so we would have to review your plans to make sure it's still complies with all the other codes by your your revisions to substantiate it has the sixty-two it didn't impact anything else on the site that your improved landscape buffer with things like of that nature we'd have to review all that to then be able to say with certainty to this commission that it complies with it and the variance would no longer be needed so to do that you would actually have to obey the item there's either that or move forward as with the plans that we have submitted today let's move forward the plans we have today last place chair is that okay I think you do diligence since the last time we met last time we were short by 30 spots now you were 61 we're 62 is required I'm actually fine with that okay though you don't have to change that and then all the other condition I had was for the landscaping as long as you agree with condition number five which is the 24-inch box trees along the front of where farm is and then on condition number eight we'd need to amend that to all proposed trees to be located within the landscape buffer area along the south east and west perimeter shall be minimum of 36 inch box trees so we're talking about these corners here we're talking about that all along the east and the west and the perimeter I'm not gonna mess with you on the front that face is falling anything that's that close to any residential community backing up to that property I want to make sure I have that that shaded protection like we discussed for many months yes and we have an extra note here we change these to a close you can't see that but it's we changed it to the 36 edge okay so basically in the record that if you agree with condition number five and condition number eight as amended I have no problem and I'm making a motion for approval and I'm sure staff will clean that language up real quick for you to make that decision okay mr. chairman through you number eight should be amended to add at the end of it all proposed trees to be located within landscape buffer areas along the South East and West perimeter shall be a minimum 36 inch box size now west I'm a Minot adjacent to commercial with the daycare center do I need the 36 inch trees there it's actually a residential zoning district with a childcare use located within it technically it is a residential zoning district abutting the property they beat me to it yeah so we good if I can get it final action on that I can live with that I'll do that okay so he's agreeing to those conditions with that said I would like to make a motion to approve AB and side of var 77275 there's a motion on the floor please cast your votes please post in that motion carries Thank You mr. chairman and also item number 18 STR 77276 with all conditions as agreed upon a motion for approval and amended okay there's motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and that motion carries mr. chairman both items are final action unless appeal to the city clerk within 10 days thank you very much moving on to thank you related items 19 through 22 abeyance var 772 a to applicant KB Homes owner bus yard Properties LLC invent o bus yard LLC for PLAs fashion request for variance to allow

variances to address deviations to complete Street standards and to exceed maximum wall - allowed by title 19 as such staff has determined that the hardship is self-imposed and therefore staff recommends denial of the two variances in tentative map and approval of the requested vacation thank you thank you your name and address to the record please good evening Krista Bilbrey with KB Home 57 95 Madera Avenue in Las Vegas eight nine one one eight we were scheduled to be heard before you at the last Planning Commission we chose to we evade that after getting staff report to work through some of staff's conditions meet with Commissioner DeSalvo may with Councilwoman Fiore and we have since submitted a revised site plan adding additional open space keeping a sidewalk that's a continuous walk walkway throughout the community address our street sections so that they meet the code approved street section and so I'm here before you to answer any questions you may have on this side regarding I will say regarding the retaining walls we still feel it to struggle since we have about 60 feet of fall from east west to east on this particular site we are surrounded by a pit so thank you mr. chairman through you just to clarify we did receive revised plans on October 8 that did address the amenities owned along the public right-of-way on the exterior of the property and there is a continuous sidewalk that runs through the community however on just one side of the side block but they still are failing to meet the connectivity ratio scores and therefore those of that variance is still there as well as with the perimeter wall Heights okay this was noticed as a public hearing anyone from the public liked to be heard seeing no one I'll close the public hearing turn over to the Commission for discussions by yourself Thank You mr. chairman yes we did have an extensive meeting a couple of them and and mr. Lowenstein is correct we agreed on the trees we agreed on double size of the park we agreed on it having a dog park we agreed with the sidewalk on one side but it's continuous and we agreed with the exterior amenity zone getting landscaping so I mean we massaged it we worked it out and we got it to where we wanted it to be in order to get this to move forward and if there's no other questions I'd like to just entertain a motion rogon what about the dead-end streets does that address streets would you say allowed allowed per code well not because it's not per code but it was because of this double sizing of the park and then the dog park we there was a little horse trading that went on okay at this time I'd like to make a motion to for number 19 for approval on var 77282 so motion on the

meeting that take I'm gonna make sure I push them right away to get those revised plans in item number 33 a bansuri notification var 7 7 179 applicant owner Bonanza Springs LLC for PHA special request for a variance to allow prohibited materials for an existing 12 foot tall perimeter wall where 8 feet is the maximum height allowed at 4901 East Bonanza Road Ward 3 staff recommends denial we get staff report please mr. chairman no evidence of a unique or extraordinary circumstance has been presented in that the applicant has created a self-imposed hardship by installing prohibited materials upon an existing wall also causing the maximum height to be exceeded staff therefore recommends denial of the application thank you thank you very much your name and address record please good evening my name is Merlin Hardy I'm a 494 Spanish view Lane and I'm I don't concur I disagree with staff and so I have tried to to work with Commissioner Schlossman on this I'm not sure exactly where we ended up but I told him some of the things that were going on I've already discussed what I've done trying to protect it's as senior citizens community and so I'm not going to go into that again but I would like to show first here if if we can see this okay yep this is what when you read it when it was originally turned in by code enforcement is right after they they trimmed those oleanders and so what I've done was this is more right after they did it here and here this was our last meeting you can see how far the oleanders have grown up and and caused a buffer for what I was told you guys didn't like the chain-link and and and stuff and then this is today I took this picture today now I have on the other side of the wall put a a lattice work on the chain-link and unfortunately I have misplaced that picture I have it in my phone I don't know if you can see it off my phone but I have put a lattice there Trinity slot man you came out and saw that maybe you can describe it for him and give him your opinion after I'm done here I have just one more thing to show you and this I'm showing because of the height problem this is the corner the southeast corner of the wall this is my son and if you can see a rock right here that's what they step on to get over the wall and get into our property and I think okay that's fine because of the high wall on the other side but on the other side of that is this this is the neighboring property and this isn't our property but they would climb down onto this fence and then they would make of traffic to and from school through our property on our property they would jump on to this this garbage container and then get down that way and behind the garbage container we had a homeless guy there for a little while I just thought I'd bring that up and then this is also their side of the property and this is where we put put the wall when I what I want to emphasize right now though is the wall we put up the fencing we put up is only on the east side of the of the property between Kmart and us all the rest we've left alone except a couple corners and this this you can see right here is one of those corners this over here in the front corner where they were jumping up on the wall and getting over that way and this one on the north east corner you can't you can't see at all this was also included on the variance this right here is our neighbor's yard we didn't have anything to do with the installation of this they did that prior to us doing anything we've also taken down all of the serpentine wire I have that remote and so you can see that there has has been removed on throughout the whole part so the only thing we're asking for really is that east wall and that and the front corners that front and rear corners that come off of that and the two corners on the west side where it comes off of that wall and then we're also willing to put up the latticework on the chain-link part of it to obstruct the view of that and as far as the east side that will be covered by those oleanders the within probably another two months you won't even be able to see anything from from the Kmart side as far as the chain-link Bob Y or anything but all along that Kmart side in between those bushes we had a homeless not a community but occasional homeless person making his his fortress there and they hopped right you see my son how how small that wall is on the Kmart side they would just hop right over and and jump into our and that's all open to questions all right Thank You mr. Hardy this is notice as a public hearing you know from the public like to be heard seeing no one I will close the public hearing and turn it over to Commissioner Schlossman yes Thank You chairman cherry thank you um so I walked this project with Marilyn and we walked around the community it was it was a great community and great little Clubhouse and everything else and so you're due to do an awesome job over there I I did want to hold this last time so we can meet and and look at it and film to make sure that you understood that you could go a couple more courses higher with that block wall and due to the the Kmart is a lot higher I just drove it again at 4:30 this afternoon I've seen your Jeep and from the clubhouse so should have stopped it I would have if I had more time but it it really is I mean it's a little wall it's like poor feet and and some portions especially back towards the back and then on your side it's like it's around six feet and then you put the little fence and material on top and I understand why you're doing that I do if you remember I said I had the same issues at my community and you do there's nothing I really could do about it people have to jump in or people jump over the fence and it is what it is but I do see the issue here I don't like bobbler and I don't like constantina wire so I don't think I can get behind the bar and Constantino wire the chain-link I was having a little bit of heartburn over but you know I think I can get behind if if everybody else on the board can get behind that two-foot strip of chain-link I think I could get behind that as well I was going to suggest put in a few courses of masonry on top of that wall after looking at that wall that walls not going to hold a couple more courses of masonry so if we grant this basically the that two-foot chain-link that's up there I think it looks a lot better than two foot and chain laying with lattice I don't like that lattice material that you're putting up on on the side and defense so thank you how would you just say get rid of that the oleanders are starting to cover that fence the oleanders will will have it covered there I would say within the next four months disappeared but the I just I think the front of your property looks amazing with the block wall and the the wrought iron the pickets up up front I just don't want to see any chain link going on the front of your property on bonanza no we in the in the master plan of our community what we've got there is we're putting two storey units along the frontage of bonanza to create a buffer for the single-story homes and then we're going to put a wall in between each unit to create the second barrier and I don't think anybody's going to be bothering us and that will all be either wrought iron or concrete with wrought iron on it okay and you know I think if this wall ever comes down which I I think won't be before long it'll have to be improved for current codes and so you would probably you could build this out of masonry going up the full eight feet or whatever 10 feet whatever you need at that point so I think this variance is for the short term I'd like to see if we can draft ask our planning director for helping craft and emotion or craft in a couple of conditions and see if you would agree to it through you chairman so from our conversation the two conditions that I've crafted so far are in relation to the barbed wire and concertina wire the first one being the request to use barbed wire or Constantino wire is denied and shall be removed the second one would be in regards to Bonanza Road and that is the premiere of wall along Brennan's road shall not consist of any unacceptable materials as described within title 19 point oh eight oh four oh thank you would you agree to those conditions that the perimeter wall in the frontage only it's what you just said along Bonanza Road yes got it we can pull that down okay what about what about in lieu of the Bob wire though on that just the Kmart side we replace that with cable instead of Bob wire it's all going to be disappearing inside of the oleanders to everybody in the world it'll look you know to the perpetrators and the people trying they'll see it up there and they'll think it's Bob wire when they get close to it inside the trees but it won't hurt anybody it'll just be cable and I think you could put a

site the applicant is requesting approval of applications for general plan amendment rezoning vacation of patent easements a number of variances and a tentative map to allow townhouse development with 336 units the general plan amendment and rezoning are appropriate as the proposed medium density residential land use combined with the single-family attached zoning would provide an orderly transition from the multifamily development to the Northeast and any future development to the west the vacation is appropriate as the patent easements are not needed staff does not support the variance request as the resulting stub streets would not allow large vehicles such as emergency response vehicles trash collection trucks and moving trucks to turn around or maneuver in a safe manner without backing down a public street in addition the street layout is insufficient to provide the minimum level of connectivity desire for residential developments within the city the requested retaining wall heights will result in overly tall blank walls that will negatively impact the existing apartment complex to the northeast and future development to the west staff recommends approval

chairman cherry and members of the Commission my name is Larry bitten with Horrocks engineers at 1401 North Green Valley Parkway representing the developer and soon-to-be owner how many homes and we first off I want to express appreciation to the planning staff the city staff who we worked with to to come up with the plan and to help resolve some of the issues especially in regards to a couple of the variances which were applied for we met with staff early on to make sure that that we complied with the emergency vehicle access and turning radiuses in the site we have a traffic study that has been submitted and approved by Public Works and we're excited about the project we think it's great a great development and a great location and I'd be happy to answer any questions we we do we understand staff's conditions of approval and we respectfully request your approval and we concur with those conditions of approval thank you very much this was noticed as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard seeing no one I will turn it over to the Commission for discussion Thank You mr. chairman I just have a couple questions on innocence for fire for item number 26 what's your consensus on the stub streets you guys foresee any problems with that dude the charity actually that was one of the conversations that occurred today with assistant fire protection engineer Albertson about the length of the sub streets and the access and the turning radius it was all resolved today the the court allows the stub Suites not to exceed 150 feet and I think they worked those DSL I believe they worked those details out this morning sir the only other question I had I get the elevation difference student of fact for the walls is why we were asking for what we're asking for I understand that and that was the first thing in our meeting was why request that so and I had a feeling was elevation and that's what it came down to my only other question is on a vacation I know Cooley road goes away and that turns into a park but there was a question that was brought up during and this might be for mr. Lowenstein there was a question that was brought up during the meeting as far as if it was a ten-foot easement a 40-foot easement or is it a 50-foot easement so maybe if I could just get some clarification on what that number is and and how we got to it well on the future fate well the future vacation of puli Road I have to have a master streets and highways amendment and this is also being coordinated with the 270 acres to the north of the of this project and to the slightly to the west of this project so that coordination with the resulted in I believe the easement being placed and Roger I'm not looking at the staff report Polly roads either an eighty or a hundred it's an eighty on the master streets and highways for the record Roger baby with Public Works I believe it's an eighty but I don't know for sure at the moment one so if I can bring it up if I can comment it is and it's an 80-foot right-of-way forty feet on our site and forty feet to the west plus an additional ten foot of right away for roadway and drainage to make it a total of fifty feet on our side of the site that will be dedicated thank you and then as far as for Roger a public works do you have any any conditions or concerns on your end that needs to be addressed mr. chairman through you the Department of Public Works would like to revise conditions number nine and ten number nine we would request that it be changed to dedicate 40 feet of right away adjacent to the site for Puli Road and forty feet for tropical Parkway including a taper and grant the required multi-use non equestrian he's been adjacent to tropical Parkway on the final map for this site additionally granite ten-foot wide roadway sewer and drainage easement along the east side of the 40-foot Polly Road dedication for condition number 10 we request that it be changed to construct a street improvements on Centennial Parkway and Tropical Park Way including the required multi-use non equestrian trail on tropical Parkway matching the approved taper to the west edge of this site at a location acceptable to the city traffic engineer including appropriate over paving and transition paving in lieu of half street improvements on Polly Road a linear park shall be constructed in a puli road right-of-way to design agreed upon by the developer in the city of Las Vegas and you agree to that sir yes okay Vice Chair before if you're gonna make a motion I will say I get a little heartburn when mr. Klein tells me something I believe it but it's the day of that we're getting plans and I'm gonna go along with it but I hope Larry in the future with other clients that you can if there's gonna be changes or last-minute approvals that you have enough time to get a plan in so I can go to staff it can come to us or not we don't even you know with the hammer head streets like what are you saying so I guess maybe is there something that would come forward between now and City Council that goes on the record to kind of help it along we have we have submitted an updated tentative map but for the record those changes were very minor so nothing that would be that would be obvious or that that changed the character of the development it was just adding information to clarify for example we didn't lengthen the stub streets we just added additional dimensional information for the fire department so they can tell yes it does comply okay again when mr. Klein says I believe it I just you know again it goes back to my comment about getting plans and designing years so please at the podium Thank You mr. chairman tried to avoid that but you know it gets a little lengthy but we did rush when we did cram immediately after the last meeting to sit down and make sure that we get it address you're always a good steward you know no question mr. chairman and vice tripping just for a point of clarification so I'm checking the master streets and highways north of Centennial Park Way it is an 80 foot and south of Centennial Park way it's showing it as a hundred foot right away so Roger I don't know if you need adjust forty to fifty or you're good with your 40 and since it's gonna be vacated anyway I don't know if it's issue okay I guess if there's no other comments like to entertain a motion to approve item number 24 GPA seventy seven three six seven so motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and that motion carries thank you and item number twenty five motion for approval zero and seven seven five seven two motion on the floor please cast your votes please post and a motion carries and item number twenty six var seven seven seven zero 1 motion for approval the motion on the floor please cast your votes please most and that motion carries an item number 27 var 77573 motion for approval some motion on the floor please cast your votes please post that motion carries a motion to approve item number VA see number 28 BAC seven seven five seven four so motion on the floor please cast your votes she's posed from that motion carries a motion to approve item number twenty-nine TMP seven seven five seven five with all conditions that's number nine and ten as amended as amended okay there's a motion on the floor please cast your votes please post that motion carries Thank You Larry mr. chairman thank you those items will move forward to City Council on December 18th 2019 thank you moving on to related items 30 and 31 item 30 var 775 to 2 applicant owner Masonic memorial temple Lodge for possible ash and request for variance to allow no sidewalk improvements along a portion of mesquite Avenue where such are required at 2200 West mesquite Avenue Ward 5 staff recommends denial and related item 31 s dr7 75234 posture and request to amend major amendment to a previously approved rezoning to add an existing soccer field to a fraternal organization development Ward 5 staff recommends denial its staff report please mr. chairman the subject site is located in the CV zoning district which allows any public or quasi-public use operated or controlled by any recognized religious fraternal veteran civic or service organization the submitted justification letter date stamped October 1st 2019 indicates the soccer facility will be used for the programming needs and activities of the Masonic Temple members and its affiliates the condition of approval has been to prohibit the commercial operation of the field however when a site is improved in the city of Las Vegas that is customary to require the installation of all incomplete improvements surrounding the site so that they match the existing surrounding area currently sidewalk improvements have not been installed adjacent to this portion of the site along mesquite Avenue staff supports current Complete Streets development standards therefore staff does not support the request for variance to defer sidewalk improvements or The Associated site development plan review for the proposed soccer field and recommends denial of both applications please note that there are additional letters of protest since publication thank you thank you can enter name and address record please yes Ricky Barlow LV access to - - - West Bonanza Road standing before you here today commissioners on a development that I think will really enhance the surrounding area as well as the neighborhood in which the proposed practice site different soccer facility will be placed but if you will allow mr. chair to digress for a moment to congratulate mr. Klein on his retirement I've had an opportunity to work with mr. Klein for many years and you have been nothing but professional and I want to say congratulations to you and you fought a good fight man and we all are really proud of you and the work in your career your professional career at this here at the city of Las Vegas and touching many lives out in the community so thanks for being a great friend man and congratulations to you job well done members of the Commission today if we'll have an opportunity to go to the overhead if you will I'll try and have this here today before you we have two items the site development plan review on the subject property which is seven point eight acres on the south east portion of this parcel as well as a variance in arica in regards to the sidewalks in which I'll get to momentarily just to give you an aerial of the site as you have you Sene just to the west of this property is Rancho Road and mesquite is on the southern portion of this property this is I'm just gonna walk you through a vid of aerials real briefly another aerial looking from the south looking north and so what you have out here is us 95 on-ramp in Rancho will be to the to the west I'm getting a closer tighter look the site in question is the seven point acres is right here on the eastern portion of the Masonic Memorial property and the landscaping buffer which is on the southern southern eastern portion as well as the buffer of landscaping that's currently all in place today as well as a cavity here which is approximately ten to fifteen feet from the back portion of each one of these individual single-family homes on the east side of the property as well and all this will come into play in just a moment as I walk you through this and explain what we're looking to do another area of the entire site this is looking west from the east and so you have all of the residential properties here on the east with the cavity of the I believe is a storm drain you have the additional buffer and then you have will have the soccer facility portion of the site here and this is just a direct angle coming from the satellite this is a street view this is once again looking west from the east and as you can see some of the ballers here to basically choke to traffic from speeding motorists coming down mesquite and this is looking east from the west so the Masonic memorial temple will be at our back at this point and this is a direct shot looking back into the property go back okay there were two neighborhood meetings conducted the first thing that I did was run this item to the council office and I did that on I met with the council office Commissioner careers office on August 28th approximately 12:30 p.m. in August and he requested that I reach out to the neighbors of Rancho Manor to make sure that all their concerns were addressed and I did that on September 16th at 6:00 p.m. a neighborhood meeting was held at the Masonic Memorial temple there was approximately two people that show to that meeting and they were in support and we're very happy and pleased to see that something was actually going to assist in beautifying their neighborhood and then another meeting took place which I did not participate however on November 4th just last week Branch Old Manor as well as the council office had another meeting in approximately ten people showed and there were some concerns and questions that came from this meeting as well one of the questions that I understand was is this a community park and the question is no it's not a community park however the Masonic Memorial temple is open for residents of Rancho Manor to partake at this facility the reason it's not a community park is because the memorial the Masonic Memorial temple will basically be faced with a lot of homelessness and other issues that will bring negativity into this area we've just cleared as a recently 12 homeless encampments that was at the back portion right up against the freeway of this lot we just recently cleared them out and so the last thing that we want is to create an undue hardship bringing negative elements into the community and so therefore we will be placing a decorative wrought iron fence around this parcel around the practice soccer facility but I'll be remiss if I didn't share this with you the soccer facility is a half of a soccer field it's not a full-size soccer field it's specifically designed four six seven eight and nine-year-olds to basically practice soccer they play at Betty Wilson and Kellogg's there and so the members of the lodge have family members and friends that participate in a variety of soccer leagues and one of the soccer league soccer teams will be practicing on this facility as well but also giving the Masonic memorial temple an opportunity to schedule this area for not only themselves but their affiliates for barbecues or family reunions if in fact residents from the community would like to come and schedule it they're open to that and basically giving them an opportunity to place their date and time on the calendar where is the Masonic Memorial temple and they're there affiliates will have an opportunity to program it accordingly and watch over it to make sure that this site remains in good standing specifically in this community so residents have access to this facility the question is yes the Rancho Manor neighborhood residents okay will the soccer field expanded no we have no interest in expanding the half soccer fill this is temporary what we're looking to do is actually come back at a later date with a development speaking with the council office as well as the residence in regards to what their plans are to develop this site fully and that's why we're requesting a variance for no sidewalks at this time once we bring in the development with the SDR the site development plan review will be happy to basically incorporate the enclosure of the sidewalks at that time will lights shine in my yard was a question that came up once we get to the final slide here you'll see that the lights will not shine in any of the neighbors yards because they'll specifically be directed onto the practice soccer facility and the lights will will not be on no later than 9:00 p.m. the earliest the lights will come on is basically at dusk and once again we're talking about six seven eight and nine-year-olds is practicing at this facility will the fill generate revenue if in fact if given the opportunity for the Masonic Memorial temple to lease out this facility it will basically be under the auspices of how in fact they operate their facility today as I share with someone I've had a number of activities at the Masonic Memorial catering facility where I rented it out in the past and I'm pretty sure they'll be open to the opportunity as well if in some what if in fact someone wanted to rent this out for a private activity such as one of the neighbors in Rancho Manor who questioned whether or not they will be able to rent it out for their family reunion to keep their family inside of the neighborhood and that's something that the Masonic Memorial temple and its members are open to discuss as well can the field be moved further from the homes on the east property line the question the answer to that question is no we believe that where it's currently existing is the best position for the practice facility because it aligns directly with the field of dreams which is directly across the street from where we where this currently exists today and as you can see going back to the overhead we have ample parking so there's no question in regards to a parking variance that we have more than enough parking for this site in addition to that there's only a small number of young people that will be out here at any given time with their parents and so parking on the east portion is ample enough parking spaces for the young the young people and their parents to come in park the landscape buffer to the southern portion of the property as well as the landscape buffer to the eastern portion I believe is wide enough to buffer and protect the homes that are on the east side of this property as well and so at this time I would like to answer any questions that you all may have at this time and feel free to address those concerns hey Sheriff thank you this is notice as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard I could just have you step aside please come up we have three microphones I'll need your name and address for the record if you're for or against and why hi my name is Joseph froggy adocus 27 Jade circle any nine 106 I'm a Rancho manor resident Joseph can you spell your last name for me sure fr a GI a da kis thank you you're welcome pretty much I'm definitely opposed to the way things have been set up or pro trade I did receive a flyer I think it was either on my door I don't think was in the postage mail but for September 16th come join us to check out the grand opening up this soccer practice facility so in my eyes it was not an informational meeting - this what we're thinking of doing it was it was in August and early September that all of a sudden this turf was laying out not knowing what was going on so my eyes the September 16th date was a more of a it's an unveiling of it not come check it out and then we did meet last week on the fifth week ago Tuesday for just some more information to try to figure out what's going on with that so again it's more the the way things kind of unveiled themselves was not ideal also you know there's no public park in our community and my in-laws who was next door to me have been here since 77 or 76 and when the Masonic Temple was being built I believe in 1972 or 74 the community area was all residential and there was an agreement upon Rancho manner that they would allow in a variance for this Masonic Temple to go up provided they would build a park for the community obviously there's no park and we're talking 40 years now almost so the trust or however you want to look at it taking the word of what is said from the Masonic Temple and such it's kind of burned a lot of people in Rancho Manor so not knowing what this kind of opens up a can of what-ifs I know there's a lot of questions that were posted on the on the flyer and such but it's still a lot of unknowns and as it create future problems it's the question so that's all thank you thank you for coming out Thanks name and address please record bill speciality 45 shadow Lane eight nine mono six grant chairman and resident mr. Barlow showed some pictures of the site well you didn't show is what exists today it's not empty there was a field there and so it's like how did that happen without without breeding reviewed and approved now I sent to Commissioner Williams an email Friday it says I just like to read what I meant to him okay how was the Masonic memorial temple typical Lodge soccer field installed without neighborhood knowledge and input it was put in place of that neighborhood knowledge and input regardless of what was stated an information meeting that occurred after the initial construction was already started the lodge should not be permitted to include their recreational facility that impacts a neighborhood without proper bedding I do not trust them to do it again with other open property that they have what stops them from doing something to build another field in violation of planning codes they apparently plan to install permanent lighting towers for nighttime soccer games and practice these lights will be very intrusive on the homes bordering the field some of these neighbors have already complained about the noise from existing generators how can they do this without approvals there's a soccer field a commercial enterprise that again is up embedded with the city is this a private facility or is it a facility open to Rancho many residents also there should be a should not be a variance on the sidewalk people walk that section through stone rocks and there should be a sidewalk if you look at the the the traffic snake you know the chicane there the the cars go very close to the curb so you're walking along that that it's out of rocks without having any kind of buffer if you will and when cars go through there so the sidewalk should definitely be a place I guess that that's it thanks for coming out and sharing your comments anyone else like to be heard hi there Tara Anderson I reside at 2104 Frontier Avenue I'm about 50 yards from this site as a crow flies and I think I'm technically the Neighborhood Association president so here's there's a couple of challenges first and foremost I'd like everyone to know that our intent as a neighborhood is not to be obstinate to the evolution of the Masonic temples site there's a couple of concerns I've been in the neighborhood for five years there's these unfulfilled commitments that were made both for the development of the Masonic Temple as well as the billboard that's on site as mr. spacely's II had mentioned in exchange for a community park in the absence without having there's not a really great rapport which we would like to have better I think at this time to approve this it's premature because there have not been discussions with the neighborhood and Masonic Temple to talk about what might that collaborative use be let's also be very clear that this is a commercial enterprise this Masonic Temple is leasing out that space for twenty thousand dollars annually for the term of three years to a third-party soccer and tries I don't actually have in and of itself an objection but let's just make sure that we're evaluating this clearly this is not a civic use but rather a commercial one I don't think that that it alone would state that we don't want them there but to have a more exhaustive conversation and collaborative one with the residents about how what does access look like how would we if we wanted to use the facility I appreciate the fact that they intend a wrought iron fence in the park we are all intimately aware that there's a homeless challenge so we're not in disagreement with that but in its current form of how this has been presented I think there's a gravely missed opportunity both for to get the park right to forge better relationships between the neighborhood of the Masonic Temple which the history predates me in the neighborhood and I think we can do better but the sidewalk piece of it in and of itself every other commercial enterprise that is developing in downtown there's an expectation of off-site improvements so I'm not understanding why we wouldn't hold the same standard as we're trying to elevate our downtown neighborhoods with the expectation of proper off-site improvements so to me the sidewalk in and of itself is is something that's a very appropriate expectation if they're going to continue developing that site for commercial use thank you for your time thank you for your comments see one more person didn't get your name an address to the record my name is Steve Campbell I live at 209 shadow Lane which is part of Rancho Manor like some of my neighbors have already expressed the way this is done I didn't get a flyer if there was one put on my door the wind flew blew it away that's not a proper way nobody reached out to our Neighborhood Association he has the number he's used it before so the way this was done totally against it not how she explained not against the idea of it but at this point addressing lighting issues firmly how late it can go I'm sorry the way it was done I don't trust the Masonic that they say goes tonight you approve that who say they turn it and go to to ten eleven twelve so at this point and the sidewalk that's the only section that isn't sidewalk and it is that constriction right there and for them to ask for that variance shows the disdain for my neighborhood Thank You mr. Campbell thanks for coming out anyone else like to be heard seeing no one I'll go back to the applicant Thank You mr. chair and for the record let me let me be clear that the conversation between Rancho manner and the Masonic Temple has to my understanding predates even myself and we've have gone back and forth with the Masonic Temple for many many years in regards to their ability to try and correctly create a nexus with the neighbors and vice versa you have a lot of neighbors that are in support of this item and you have some neighbors that oppose it as well not you know and I get that but when you look at the overall element of what we created across the street and I was a part of all the conversations with the park that we worked very diligently on in regards to those young people with special needs at this park right here in the same requirements if you look back in the documentation the same thing that they asked for as far as all of the variances the setbacks if you look here this setback is much closer than what we currently have on this site here and that's why I wanted to point that out to you early on in the overhead in regards to the distance between the properties here as well as the distance between the property that you have across the street it's much closer you're looking at approximately 15 feet approximately and you're looking at over 80 to approximately 80 feet on this site here as far as the sidewalk we don't oppose the sidewalk we want to build a sidewalk all we're asking is for it to come with an erection of a building to put it in as a sidewalk right now to install a sidewalk right now the cost is to a point to where the sidewalk will cost more than what we're actually paying to lay artificial turf and just basically bringing an element that will enhance and give the community as well as the Rancho Manor an opportunity to partake as well as the Masonic memorial temple and its members to basically have access to an open space so that's I believe that's where we are right now trying to identify how in fact we can do that and the Masonic Maura temple is committed to keeping their doors open and keeping the conversations flowing in relation to how we allow access for this space and so I believe it's it's a great opportunity for the neighbors and I believe that we have an opportunity to continue to grow together as neighbors and I'm not foreign to these conversations or the neighborhood meetings because I've had multiple neighborhood meetings as it relates to many issues surrounding this particular area and so I request that we move forward with the item before you what the SDR as well as the variance and and as long as I'm involved with this I'll continue to work with the neighbors moving forward as relates to making sure that they're engaged every step of the way but understanding also that there will always be unfortunately some for and some against as you all very well know as commissioners on many items that come before you so I'm open to any questions or comments that you all might may have a design thank you very much I'll turn it over to the Commission for discussion I'll quickly say before I go to Commissioner Williams that you know the only time I recall ever voting on not having a sidewalk is in a rural area and and then even in that situation is looking at where are the sidewalks adjacent to it well this one for me it's it's in a neighborhood I see sidewalk that terminates on both ends of the property line and I see sidewalk full sidewalk across the street at the church I believe it's a this directly across the street so I just I've never supported that in the past and that I recall only again in rural areas where we've had a lot of neighbors come out and expressed that that's what they wanted even though that's not how I actually wanted to vote but they've asked for no street lights they've asked for no sidewalks they've asked for question trails and that's the only time ever I've ever felt comfortable voting in that direction so I'll just leave it at that before I go to you Commissioner Williams all right Thank You mr. chair mr. Barlow I have to tell you listening to some of the resident concerns one of my first and again I agree with the chairman here the sidewalks is a tough one for us to get past when you really look at adjacent sidewalks sidewalk across the street but I think the bigger challenge here as Miss Anderson alluded to in the spirit of collaboration to make sure we've got you know enough and and you know enough residence there to really give their opinions and ask questions I just don't think that to two or three people rendering their decision as a good enough you know showing and if we've got residents here that for whatever reason didn't get notices or weren't there I think that there needs to in the spirit of collaboration we really you need to go back and probably talk with your client and understand what the real needs and ask and requirements are of the neighbors I am ready to make a recommendation on both items but I would like to say on the second item SDR seven seven five to three I'd be willing to hold this item in abeyance to give mr. Barlow an opportunity to go back and really speak with the residents and talk through any challenges because I mean the reality is the temples there the residents are there and if if they really want to ask questions and have an opportunity to understand future development opportunities and what's coming I think it's only right that they're given that opportunity I got a commissioner rogon quickly sure thing Thank You Commissioner Williams in church area I would support that abeyance request I just have some some comments mr. Barlow yes considering the I guess that the lack of cordial relationships that you have or the Masonic Temple has with the neighborhood perhaps some of the issues that have been brought up tonight can be addressed in particular I think perhaps you can work with with planning staff to look back and see what what actually was promised was anything promised back when this Masonic Temple was approved on this particular location to to the neighborhood was there a park promised or not so that can be clarified I mean that can that can be the basis of a renewed a new renewed relationship that you have and I'd certainly be curious to make sure that we're fulfill any promises that were made back in 1970 or 1980 when that Masonic Temple was developed I also have a question for you which is are you leasing out the the soccer field at twenty thousand dollars to this organization are you renting it out or is this for specific minded purposes no this is all Masonic Temple in regards to them in their affiliates now this twenty thousand dollars yeah I'm not aware of anything as it relates to any leasing of this facility okay this is specifically for the Masonic memorial temple and its affiliates sir and let me back up and just address something that you bet you mentioned before sure I did look in the back up as relates to promises and there was nothing that I can find in the history of the temple and what the city has online in relation to any conversations of promises so this is this is has been a a passed on statement for a very long time for over twenty years from what I understand but there's nothing that I've been able to identify as relates to a promise that was made as relates to building apart for for the residents and in response that's the first thing that I looked for in the backup was that would have been included and it wasn't there so just for purposes of reestablishing that relationship though if there's this belief that there is there was an unfulfilled promise laying that to rest might be a good thing for you to do and maybe staff can work with you too or work with the neighborhood to show there was never any promise made I also have another questions why was this built before it was approved I mean one of the things that I look at is our rules and whether you're being a good neighbor in addition to it being built before it was even approved was numerous code violations right code enforcement that most likely had been brought by the neighbors over the past 15 or 16 years yes very good question and I'll be happy to answer that the members of a couple members of the Masonic memorial temple came to the city of Las Vegas to the building department and asked if they could put down turf and someone at the city said yes you can put down turf it's not a problem but the some of the members took it upon themselves to say ok we're gonna do this but you know what let's just create a nice warm ambiance on this site and so they said well let's put up some fencing and then an opportunity came to where is they said well we can actually let some of our kids who were in our programs utilize it as well and slowly start talking about lights and different things like that and then to my understanding the city came out and red tagged the what they were doing they thought they were doing something good but turned out to be something in violation of the city of Las Vegas and so that's where I stepped in to basically stop the process to basically assist with bringing it through the appropriate channels through the planning process so that we can get everything in alignment and so that's what happened they basically got ahead of their skis if you will thank you I have no further questions before I go back to Commissioner Williams I would agree with all the comments I've heard and I will say I mean I love a soccer field I played in many many leagues I think they promote positive things I will say if it is a commercial use I'd have Harper because I know what the leagues and teams I've played on I mean we'd go all night and we would be loud and we'd make noise and if there was a neighbor next door neighborhood they know we're there you know so I guess just working through some of those questions I see in the backup there's it looks like generator for lights that's there is the intention to put permanent lighting yes the intention is to put permanent lighting we have that also through the process as well okay so that's you know between times and how its works shining obviously that would be a concern whenever this this comes back but I can share this with you chairman cherry is that the lighting according to the engineers the way in which we have them is specifically directed onto the field no we're in alignment with any of the shadows that currently exists here so the lights will only be shining specifically targeting facing west and keep in mind also that we're talking about six seven eight year olds no adults no teenagers this is a half soccer field for for young people I understand I mean I plan on many half fields I just didn't have to run as far was nice the the again my concerns are is it a commercial use or not and then you know I seize my knowledge no it's not a commercial use okay and I think whenever this gets a vote I'd like to see that and that's specifically stated and from us that out in the condition if you like as well and then on this landscape buffer the the existing fence that's there right now just turns and goes the perimeter of the field it doesn't it doesn't carry through to that that channel does it you talking here yeah no this will this will actually be 360 right but I guess in between the homes or the property line here can someone just walk from the street to the landscape buffer all the way back down that area can someone walk through here yeah they can walk through there today yes and that's part of the Masonic temples property line yes their property line is actually this would you see this this concrete area here okay because it's just again you're creating an area we're just pushing things to me farther to I believe that's the east yes is that will be to these so which would be another concern as well but I'm just gonna leave it with that go back to Commissioner Williams on what he'd like to I would like to proceed yeah so I think there's plenty of concerns here that certainly need to be worked out and again as as stated the we're gonna really want to see a full residence meeting and I would also recommend that you bring you know real drawings that show the lights and the staging and the fence and everything to just really be able to walk everyone through that and then we'll understand what that looks like but at this time I'm ready to make a motion for item var 7 7 5 2 2 I'd like to make a motion for denial there's a motion on the floor please commissioners yes sir if I may if if I may suggest that we exchange for your motion for denial I'm asking if you will allow it to be held in advance so that we'll have an opportunity to meet with the residents in the event that something positive comes out of the meeting with the residents in relation to the variance this won't be affected well the motion is for the sidewalk the denial the motion to deny is we're not gonna grant a variance to not install the sidewalk you need to install the sidewalks Commissioner I think well it might be a preference Fransisco does go to City Council so you know for me I know how I stand on sidewalks but it might be best if they get them both at the same time we don't split them up I think if you're okay with that I'm okay with that so correction I'd like to make a motion to hold items var 7 7 5 2 2 and items SD r 7 7 5 2 3 and abeyance and we could do that for how long are we thinking thirty days do you think it's 1210 is the okay until the 1210 meeting is that enough time is tomorrow get a neighborhood meeting together I'll be happy to do it again this keep in mind that we mailed out close to 1500 Mellors as well as the neighbors held a meeting last week and two people showed to the first meeting ten people showed to the second meeting will be happy to do it again I just want I just don't want to be ding for having a meeting with just those neighbors that are in opposition because there's so many more neighbors that I do know that are in support of it that are that are not here yeah in all fairness we didn't have any cards or anything that says support just just denial you know so so mr. chairman on the neighborhood meetings as it's not a required but it's being required by Planning Commission and just as it was it was requested by Commissioner career as well that's why we had the meeting first time because they asked that we meet with them we were happy to do that and I just want to clarify that the city offers two services either we provide labels for everybody that would be in the notification radius in a thousand-foot as we do for the public notification for the items that are agendized or for five hundred dollars we actually printed the postcards and mail them for the applicants for the neighborhood meetings once we get the date and time of where it's going to be held so there's those two services that the city can do or the applicant can take it upon themselves to do the mailing in this particular case as if it's being requested by the Planning Commission I request that an affidavit of mailing be submitted to the city after that but it is kind of up to them which service they want to do it does have a monetary impact and if I may jump in there as well and keep this in mind that we're talking a thousand feet you have the Millers in which we did we actually went beyond a thousand feet so that means you're only going to capture so many people within that set with within that thousand foot radius as well so it's not going to be into the thousands actually want to be into the hundreds so just make sure that that's clear as well for the record true the Planning Commission if you want to set a bigger radius or you can say you want a Rancho Manor and excuse me is it twin Twin Lakes Association or something like that those two associations to be noticed then we can make a custom extraction list for that but that is done at your discretion right that's what we did the first time I would actually recommend you use the city services talk to your client less labor on our part but I just want to let you know that the city's the city's distant separation I mean is this distance separation a thousand foot distance separation would only capture you know less than you know a few hundred hour notification radius exceeds state statute state statute seven hundred and fifty feet from the property after the proper line and radius around we do a thousand foot and we capture all of that and then we also do neighborhood associations within a half mile on our public notification so but that the Neighborhood Association is just one card to whoever's registered and are voluntary list for the neighbors association contact not everybody in the association so it is every property owner within that radius as based on the Assessors information for where the mailings should go and then the Neighborhood Association point of contact yeah I think another good place to start are some of the people that came up to speak you know have said that they've talked to other neighbors that are opposed or have concern or want to sit down and have conversation I mean that can turn into a nice robust discussion to get this thing where it needs to be I mean in all fairness I agree with that mr. chair I think mr. Barlow you've got plenty of opportunity to circle back and engage the residents and really help them understand and help us understand really what is the final scope of this entire project so we're in a better position to be able to make a decision or recommendation going forward and we certainly need more input from the residents in the area great well I'll tell you the final scope from the client standpoint is is giving young people you know ages 6 to 9 an opportunity to to play out on a a practice soccer facility to enjoy the outdoors so I'll be happy to move forward and and work with the city of Las Vegas planning department to create a another opportunity for the residents in the client to get together to have another cut to have another discussion thank you and I will add there is a condition in the back up that says it can't be a commercial use which helps you know quell concern from ours my standpoint at least had a question mr. chairman well if it states that it can't be a commercial euston how do they get away with being able to lease it to a third party don't have any evidence of leasing through a third party it was just it was mentioned here earlier and I'm just curious if it he mr. Barlow I think stated that it was at least but he just wasn't sure about the denomination of how much that least cost no that's not true that's not what I'm saying cheering they sure it may be essential that since it's been a Bane or recommending for a bay that we kind of maybe hold these questions until further Symonds we actually hear the full application yeah yeah okay okay please cast your votes it's for abeyance for 30 days please post and that motion carries so mr. chairman the goal is to host a neighborhood meeting prior to coming back on December 10th yes okay great thank you and we're hoping that we get some of these concerns addressed did we need a night motion item 31 oh we did both okay thank you very much thanks Commissioner yeah absolutely mr. Barlow it would be a good time if you have time to maybe exchange information with some of the people to to get I'm sure you know some of them too so yes yes I pretty much know all of it all right great yes I was just about to do it thank you thank you very much thank you all have a good night YouTube okay moving on to item number 32 VAR 77535 applicant owner Richard Craven for posture and request for variance to allow proposed 18-foot tall accessory structure where 14 feet is allowed at 64 33 West End Road Ward for staff recommends denial can we get the staff report please this is Sophia Prince with the Department of Planning mr. chairman according to the submitted justification letter the applicant is proposing a class to accessory structure in the rear yard but is unable to move the structure dings due to an existing leach field the structure fails to meet maximum height standards while within 10 feet of the rear property line earlier coordination between the leach failed or proposing a shorter structure would have allowed conformance to handle 19 title 19 requirements and therefore staff recommends denial of this variance thank you very much can I get your name address record please Richard Craven the six four three three Weston Road Las Vegas eight nine one three zero this is actually more nerve-wracking than my military retirement this is something that I've been trying to piece together for a while because I have some issues with am I an Road is my major road in front of me I have a lot of people coming up and to my front yard checking my doors on my vehicles and stuff so I have some old cars that I do and I do some car shows that can benefit the community let's do the here and there but when I have my garage open like I'm feeling like I'm subject to somebody trying to prowl in there kind of feel like someone can easily get into my stuff so we propose of doing a building in the back where actually can house these things and work on them more openly with my kids so the repose was trying to put a metal metal garage back there due to that I am zoned for horse community and have a little property that can actually utilize that so we try to do our homework and I'm really good with my neighbors trying to get their input on this from the size to the color to the layout that way more concerned about my rear neighbors to make sure that I'm not inconveniencing them so I've turned them the building sideways so that way they don't see the peak if you know it's not a high peak I try to minimize that impact to them so I've tried to do everything I possibly can to make sure that as neighbors we get along and that everything so they can see their views and everything else which we all bought as well so I've considered everything I can possibly consider what comes to my neighbors and everything else so I'm asking for approval this is something I've been really wanting to put together and get this is like I said this is something very day it's been looking forward to to see where I can go with this so I'm not trying to hurt anybody trying to do anything I'm just trying to hey this is what I'm looking forward to and originally like like Sophia she's been really helpful about trying to get this together and trying to give them together I guess I'm an Air Force vet trying to put all this stuff together plans and everything else has been kind of like okay what are you asking for you know I think it's as simple as this and I will tell you that this is not what you want to hear but my neighbors are like just build it and I'm like want to do the right thing so the costs associated doing the right thing between the variances the engineering drawings all the other things have been costing me a lot so I'm trying to do it the right way so that's why I come to you today to ask for the variants second a protect my leach field which I I'm on property I have it well and I do have a leach field so I'm more concerned about the water runoff trying to get to there if I have the ten feet that I originally asked for it to be able to go up to 35 based on at that table so I want to go back to the five feet from the bird the rear property and I have made some diversions to kind of clarify some of that run water and stuff so I've done as much homework as I can to to minimize this so I'm asking for approval if it makes sense well thank you for not building it and then coming appreciate that this was noticed as a public hearing anyone from the public like to be heard sing go and I'll close the public hearing turn over to Commissioner Tucson hello mr. Craven thank you for coming I did go out and I did look at your property and I've noticed that your neighbors are all in support of this thank you and my understanding is the reason why you have to put the you want to put the structure where it is is because of this leach field and your septic tank you can't move it closer in is that correct yes ma'am and that septic tank in leach field has been there for since the house was built you three yes since the house is built and you said that the structure will painted the same colors is your home is that correct yes ma'am the company that we're getting the building from have like ten different color codes so we're getting as close as we can to the darkness and everything else I've even asked my neighbor behind me that hey I'll give another I'll put white back there we're playing unicorns that we have to if it helps them out because this is the relationship I have with my neighbors is to be considerate to everything we have when we have over the wall discussions on everything's going around the neighborhood between I hate the state highway and that have another front of me and whose wall guy hit today so I'm trying to make it every consideration and I know that this year or next year I'm considering on repainting my house mhm and so if there's a odd like shades off I'm going to repaint the house as close as to that as possible that way it all blends in well thank you anybody else anything no you know variances are really really tricky things and you know sometimes it's very difficult I think for us up here to agree to a variance because once we allow a variance for you then someone else might come here yesterday the same thing but I did go out and I did look at the property and your neighbors are in support of this
