Sun Valley lies directly east. proposed Cas a Del Sol Unit 2 and undeveloped land lie to the north. .AGE 2 OF 8 Page2 BK 1851 PG 250 (FEE~91- 6320) The contiguous lots are all Resolution No. ~4 single family residential lots, and WHEREAS, primary access is on Joy Lane, south on Club House Drive to Mountain View, then north to this tract. In the future, access will be from Mountain View via either Joy Lane or Lipan Boulevard, and WHEREAS, the proposed Colorado River Highlands subdivision is a 231 lot development consisting of 160 four-plex lots, 35 duplex lots, and 36 single family residential lots. The lots will have an average size of 11,814 square feet and a minimum lot size of 7,650 square feet, and WHEREAS, the site is currently vacant undeveloped land zoned Special Development/Residential, and WHEREAS, the subdivision streets will be paved with asphaltic concrete and have roll curb and gutters. The interior street widths will be 33 feet back of curb to back of curb for the through streets and 29 feet in the cul-de-sacs. The right- of-way width for these streets will be the back of curb width. In addition, a ten (10') foot roadway/PUE easement will be provided adjacent to the right-of-way on each side of the street. The perimeter roadways (Mountain View Road and Everglades Boulevard) will have 42 and 35 foot half width right-of-ways respectfully. The structural pavement section for all roadways Resolution No. 9~4 .AGE 3 OF 8 Page3 ~K 1851 PG 251 (FEE~91- 6320) will conform to Mohave County specifications and the recommendations contained in the Soils Report done for the project by Foree & Vann, Inc., and WHEREAS, electric, telephone, gas and CATV will be constructed in 10 foot Public Utility Easements (PUE) along the fronts of each lot. Electric service will be provided by Mohave Electric Cooperative, telephone by Citizens Utilities Company, and gas by Southwest Gas Corporation, and WHEREAS, water will be provided by Bermuda Water Company, Inc. from an allotment granted from the Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage District, and WHEREAS, sewage treatment and disposal will be provided by the Fort Mojave Tribal Utility District. The sewage collection system will be installed by the developer who will also extend the existing utility district's main approximately one-half mile to the project site along Mountain View Road, and WHEREAS, solid waste pickup will be provided by Tri-State Refuse Disposal and disposed of at a Mohave County land fill, and WHEREAS, the development site is situated in an area which in the past was cultivated farmland, however, no farming has taken place on the site in recent times. The major drainage affecting the site is sheet flow which enters the site across Resolution No. 941t4 .'AGE -4 OF BK 1851 PG o Page4 u 252 (FEE~91- 6320) the westerly half of the project's north line. This flow will be concentrated in a channel to be constructed along the north line of the development which will carry the flow westerly to Mountain View Road. At Mountain View Road a portion of the concentrated flow will flow south along the Mountain View Road alignment with the remaining flow continuing across the roadway to the west into the Desert Lake golf course. Other off-site and on-site runoff affecting the project will be carried through the development in the streets and other drainage ways and released into drainage ways provided by the Desert Lakes Golf Course and Estates development to the south. All drainage improvements will be constructed in accordance with the final approved drainage design study, and WHEREAS, a petition of exception was submitted requesting a variance for utility easements along the front lot lines, block "0" is longer than 1320 feet, Lots 1-7, Block A and double fronted and Lots 7-22, Block A are, to all effects, double fronted. The proposed right-of-way widths of the interior subdivision streets are 33 feet for local streets and 29 feet for cul-de-sacs with a 10 foot roadway easement provided along each side of the right-of-way designated for future roadway expansion and PUE. Mohave County Department of Engineering Standard Detail No. 62 provides for right-of-way widths of 60 feet and 50 feet for local streets and cul-de-sacs respectively. The spec ial circumstances or conditions affecting the proposed development are as follows: Resolution No. 94114 .PAGE 5 OF BK 1851 PG PageS o v 253 (FEE~91- 6320) a. Access through the long block, Block D, was not possible due to the existing lot configuration of the Dessert Lakes subdivision to the south. b. The electric, telephone, gas, and CATV utilities serving the Colorado River Highlands subdivision will be underground. Therefore, having these utilities located along the fronts of the lots and adjacent to the rights-of- way will allow for easy access and maintenance. c. The proposed Colorado River Highlands subdivision is located adjacent to the east side of Mountain View Road which is a section line road and will become a major north- south arterial roadway. Therefore, access for Lots 1-7, Block A will be from an interior street and the lots will back against Mountain View Road. A one (1') foot vehicular non-access easement and a concrete block wall will be constructed along the rear of these lots to restrict access to these lots from Mountain View Road. Everglades is a midsection road and a narrow landscape/drainage parcel does not protect Lots 7-22, Block A. An approved landscape design may substitute for a one (1') foot vehicle non-access easement with a three (3') foot concrete block wall that are normal requirements on these lots. d. The narrower right-of-way widths with additional 10 foot roadway easements proposed are in line with those being recommended by the Public Works and Planning Departments for inclusion in the new subdivision ordinance currently being drafted. The proposed right-of-way extends from the back of curb to back of curb. Based on the information and conditions outlined below, the use of the narrower widths for the interior streets will not adversely affect the development of the proposed Colorado River Highlands subdivision. The narrower right-of-way widths will not limit the access to the lots. The turnaround radii in the cul-de-sacs will remain 45 feet to insure adequate maneuvering area for emergency vehicles. No parking will be allowed within the street rights-of-way. Front setbacks will be increased from 20 to 30 feet to allow for additional parking and maintain the openness along the street corridor. All utilities, including sanitary sewer, to serve the proposed development will be installed during the initial construction of the subdivision. Therefore, except for maintenance of the facilities, there will be no need for the construction of additional amenities to serve the subdivision along the interior subdivision streets. The ownership of the land adjacent to the right-of-way within the 10 foot roadway easement will be retained by the lot owner. It will be his responsibility to maintain that Resolution No. ~4 . Page6 PAGE 6 OF S BK 1851 PG 25~ (FEE~91- 6320) area thus reducing costs for county maintenance crews. Furthermore, that land area will not be removed from the county tax base as would be the case with the standard wider rights-of-way. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the petition of exception requests with the provision that the ten (10') foot roadway easements contiguous to the right-of-way be designated for PUE' s and roadway easement purposes. WHEREAS, evaluations on this tract were submitted by Mohave County Health Department, Fort Mo j ave Tribal Utili ties, Mohave Electric Cooperative, El Paso Natural Gas, engineers from adjoining developments, and Mohave County Public Works Department, and WHEREAS, the Commission at their meeting on January 9, 1991 did recommend conditional approval of the preliminary subdivision plan for Tract 4133, with the following noted: 1. Each lot will be connected to a functioning sewage disposal system. 2. Arrangements will be made to extend underground electric and telephone service to each lot in accordance with Arizona Corporation Commission Regulations. 3. Fire hydrants will be provided at locations prescribed by the Fort Mojave Mesa Fire Department; street name and regulatory signs will be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations and as recommended by the design engineer and as a condition of approval, the owner/subdivider is responsible for the completion of improvements and shall provide an assurance for all required subdivision improvements in accordance with Article V of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations. This project is within the Mohave Valley Irrigation and Drainage District. 4.
