LYING WEST OF 1-40, TOWNSffiP 18 NORTH, RANGE 18 WEST, LOCATED IN THE YUCCA
PORTION OF THE MOHA VE COUNTY GENERAL AREA, MOHA VE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on Monday,
May 1, 1995, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted to United

design ofthis subdivision is Todd Bremner of Northwest Surveying, Inc., Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, the property is located on the west side ofI-40 and north of the Yucca area. Access
to the property from 1-40 is the Old Trails Road, then west to the site, and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan depicts 149-plus acres subdivided into 94 residential lots and 16
commercial lots. The residential lots range in size from one-half acre to one and one-half acres. The
commercial lots range from one-plus acres to seven-plus acres. There is also a drainage parcel and a parcel
for a well site, and
WHEREAS, electric power and telephone will be provided by Citizens Utilities Company; sewage
treatment by on-site septic systems; and solid waste disposal by a private company (Mohave Disposal).

WHEREAS, A Petition of Exception request containing the following deficiencies is submitted as
follows:
1. Long Block Lengths - Block 5 along the project's west boundary is approximately
2,700 feet in length as currently planned. Section 6.6-1 of the Mohave County
Subdivision and Road Maintenance Regulations allows for a possible block length
of 2, 160 feet.
2. Front Yard Public Utility Easements - Eight-foot wide public utility easements
(PUE's) are provided along the front of all lots within Blocks 2, 5 and 6. All other

WHEREAS, THIS petition requests that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend to the
Board of Supervisors the granting of exceptions from the subdivision regulations as outlined in Article 1.13
for the following reasons:
Long Block Length:
1. The granting of this petition will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other adjacent properties since:
The long block does not create a condition which blocks or restricts access
to the surrounding property.
. The adjacent roadway, named Paradise Trail, encounters two proposed
intersections providing an opportunity for traffic control within a total length
less than 1,320 feet.
. The lots in Block 5 are mostly half-acre lots. The total depth of any lot does
not exceed 200 feet. Access for fire protection across deep lots is not a
concern. This block is approachable from both ends and two intermediate
points.
2. This request \'o-ill not nullify the intent or purpose of the master plan of the county or
other regulations because:
The long block falls between the north section line and approximate half-
section line. Road right-of-way is provided at both lines to the adjacent
property in the east-west direction. The proposed road, Paradise Trail, links
each of these right-of-ways in the north-south direction which is consistent
with the county's circulation master plan.
3. The special circumstances or conditions affecting said property are:
. The subdivision area is long and narrow. In drawing the subdivision layout
to provide appropriate lot depth to width ratios, it became apparent that
placing Paradise Trail along the west boundary line would lead to lots that
were narrower (deeper) than desired. It was decided that providing the entire
right-of-way within our tract boundary was preferable.
. The natural drain course, Parcels A and B, provided the naturally occurring
limit for roadway alignment.
.

BK 2~62 PG 8~J (FEE!95-23057)
Front yard utility easements:
1. The granting ofthis petition will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other adjacent properties since:
. Access to utilities will not be diminished and all lots will maintain the same
linear easement frontage.
2. This request will not nullify the intent or purpose of the master plan of the county or
other regulations because:
. Relocations of the PUE'S do not alter the type or level of service provided by
facilities which would normally use such easements.
3. The special circumstances or conditions affecting said property are:
. Block 2 has significant easements along the rear lines common with the
ADOT ROW for 1-40. A 20-foot wide easement for telephone and fiber optic
lines exists. Adjacent to this is a 25-foot wide proposed easement for
drainage. Crowding of these easements, and the proximity of the fiber optic
cable is not advisable.
. Block 5 is adjacent to BLM land along its rear boundary. It is assumed that
no improvements will be made (in the foreseeable future) along this rear line
which would serve to protect any facility that may be placed within a PUE.
The path necessary to provide a PUE in this block will have to cross the
existing Old Trails wash north at some point. Allowing the PUE is in line
with a paved ford which is proposed. Utilities may pass under this ford
providing protection from flood damage.
. Block 6 will be zoned for and is intended for Mobile Home Park use.
Providing PUE'S along the front property lines allows for recombination of
the lots within the block without re-establishing new easements each time.
WHEREAS, the grantings of this petition will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other adjacent properties because these requests produce desirous developable lots within the project and
do not harm the developability of the adjacent undeveloped property, and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on
April 12, 1995, the Commission recommended APPROVAL for a Preliminary Subdivision Plan subject
to the following:
