NORTH, RANGE 19 WEST,IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY AREA,MOHA VE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on July 7,
1997, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted for an Extension of
Time as requested by Al Haley, owner of the property, for the above-described Preliminary Subdivision
Plan. The engineer of record for the project is Mohave Engineering Associates, Inc., of Kingman, Arizona,
and
WHEREAS, the subdivision is located approximately II miles west of the City of Kingman and
is accessed via Highway 68, then south along Estrella Road, then east one-quarter mile along Redwall Drive
to the site, and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan depicts 39 acres subdivided into 91 single-family residential lots
and four parcels including the private roadway system, and
WHEREAS, the owner of the project has indicated in letters dated April 28, 1997 and May 12,
1997, that an Extension of Time is being requested based on the assertion that a previous development
partner has now been "bought out", clearing the way for the subdivision of this property, and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan for this tract was approved by the Mohave County Board of
Supervisars on October 7, 1991, per BOS Resolution No. 91,266. A Revised Preliminary Plan was
approved on May 4, 1992, per BOS Resolution No. 92-148. The first Extension of Time was approved on
June 6, 1994, per BOS Resolution No. 94,168, expiring on May 4, 1995. A second extension was requested
by the owner in early 1995, without the required processing fee. Staff sent a letter dated April 26, 1995, to
the owner indicating the need for the fees, No fees were submitted, and the request was accordingly not
processed. Subdivision Regulation Article 3.10-1 states: "Upon application to the Commission and prior
to the expiration of the time limit, extensions in increments of one (I) year may be granted by the Board of
Supervisors if the subdivider is actively processing the Final Plat. If such action is not taken, then all
proceedings relating to the plat shall be terminated.", and

WHEREAS, due to the expiration of the approvals for this project and the lack of file activity staff
sent a rescission notice to the owner dated February 12, 1997. The notice required that unless the owner
contacted the County in writing within the following 90 days indicating an intent to actively process the
subdivision plat, the subdivision would be scheduled for formal rescission. The owner was advised in the
rescission notice that he had the option of requesting another Extension of Time for this subdivision and that
such an extension was necessary to the renewed processing of the subdivision. However, the Preliminary
Plan Extension of Time Policy would generally require staff to recommend denial of the request based on
the lack of processing and the delinquency of the approvals for the project, and
WHEREAS, the Mohave County Public Works Department has indicated that upon receipt of any
additional submittals of this project for processing, the adequacy of the drainage and compatibility of this
proposed subdivision with surrounding development will be reviewed. They have recommended that any
required changes or modifications will be the responsibility of the developer, and
WHEREAS, staff had originally recommended the denial of this Extension of Time due in part to
the request being received more than 90 days after the expiration of the last extension in 1995. The
developer provided documentation showing that he had recently instructed his engineer to renew processing
on this plat, and
WHEREAS, this extension constitutes the second, third, and fourth Extensions of Time, and
WHEREAS, the following are Findings of Fact for the above captioned item:
a. All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations.
b. The owner has submitted documentation showing that the project engineer has been
instructed to proceed with the preparation of plats necessary for the continued processing of
this subdivision.
c. This request does not comply with the Extension of Time Policy due to the folloVving: 1.
No Final Plat has ever been submitted for this subdivision; 2. No improvement plans have
ever been submitted for this subdivision; 3. This request was received by the County two
years after the expiration of the last extension ofthe approval for this project, well past the
90 days prescribed in the policy; and 4. Other than Extension of Time requests, there has
been no processing activity for this subdivision in almost five years.
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on
June 11, 1997, the Commission recommended APPROVAL of an Extension of Time for the Preliminary
Plan subject to the following conditions:
I. Compliance with all conditions ofBOS Resolution Nos. 91,266 (as prescribed by 92-148),
92-148,92-193,92-259, and 94-168.
