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

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

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.
