RESOLUTION NO. 98-196
A RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH A PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAN AND PETITION
OF EXCEPTION FOR BEAVER DAM ESTATES, TRACT 3510, BEING A SUBDIVISION AND
CORRECTIVE PLATTING OF LOTS 4-14, LOTS 34-37, PARCEL B AND A PORTION OF
PARCEL C, OF BEAVER DAM ESTATES, TRACT 3034-A, IN THE NE¼ OF SECTION 5,
TOWNSHIP 40 NORTH, RANGE 15 WEST, IN THE ARIZONA STRIP, MOHAVE COUNTY,
ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on June 1,
1998, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted for a Preliminary
Subdivision Plan and Petition of Exception for the above described subdivision, as requested by the owner,
Keith Whittaker, St. George, Utah. The project engineer is L.R. Pope Engineers and Surveyors, also of St.
George, Utah, and
WHEREAS, the property is located almost one mile north of the I-15/Highway 91 interchange. The
site is accessed via Interstate 15, then north approximately three-quarters of one mile along Highway 91,
then southeast along Beaver Dam Drive, then south along Park Place to the site, and
WHEREAS, this property originally had been a portion of Beaver Dam Estates, Tract 3034-A,
recorded on September 24, 1992. A flood of the adjacent Beaver Dam Wash in February 1995 caused
significant damage to the flood prone southern portion of Tract 3034-A, washing away ali or part of some
lots, some right-of-way, easements, and improvements. The majority of the lots, parcels, rights-of-way,
easements, and improvements in Tract 3034-A escaped flood damage. The U.S. Army Corp of Engineers
claimed jurisdiction over the portions of the damaged subdivision that had accrued to the wash. Due to
damaged water and sewer lines, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality revoked earlier approvals
for Tract 3034-A, and the Arizona Department of Real Estate canceled the public report on the subdivision.
In an attempt to reclaim some use of the damaged property and to obtain new approvals for the subdivision,
the new owner, Keith Whittaker, submitted a corrective Preliminary Plan of that portion of Tract 3034-A
affected by the flood, which could readily be replatted around the new wash boundary. The property being
reclaimed by this Preliminary Plan was assigned Tract 3510 to keep processing separate from old Tract
3034-A, and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan for Tract 3510 depicts 3.01 acres subdivided into 5 single-family
residential lots and one parcel, located within the Beaver Dam Wash, to be retained by the developer. The
residential lots in Tract 3510 average approximately 8,282 square feet in area, and

WHEREAS, it is the intention of the developer that the lots, parcel, right-of-way, and easements
in Tract 3510 dovetail with those in the undamaged portion of existing Tract 3034-A. To accomplish this,
abandonments and reversions to acreage were approved on January 5, 1998, per BOS Resolution Nos. 97-
420 and 97-421, for the portions of damaged Tract 3034-A underlying the proposal shown on the
Preliminary Plan for Tract 3510. The zoning approved for Tract 3034-A, including the minimum lot size,
is compatible with the lots in Tract 3510. No rezoning is necessary, and
WHEREAS, services for Tract 3510 will be provided by the following: Electricity will be provided
by Dixie Escalante Rural Electric Association; telephone service will be provided by Rio Virgin Telephone;
water and sewer service will be provided by approved central water and sewer systems; solid waste
(garbage) disposal will be provided by Virgin Valley Disposal; and the subdivision will receive fire
protection from the Littlefield Fire Department, and
WHEREAS, Petitions of Exception ~vere submitted for the following:
1. Varying-width front lot Public Utility Easements, instead of 16-foot rear yard Public Utility
Easements. The request for front lot easements is for the entire subdivision. Section 6.9 of
the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations requires that easements at least 16' in total
width be provided along rear lot lines.
2. Non-radial lot lines. This request is for those lots within the tract which have non-radial side
lot lines. Section 6.7-1 of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations requires lot lines to
be within five degrees of a right angle to adjacent road rights-of-way.
3. Double-fronted lot. This request is for Lot 4, which double fronts Highway 91 and Park
Place. Section 6.6-1.B of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations requires that no
subdivision shall include double or triple fronted lots.
4. Knuckle cul-de-sacs. This request is for the Park Place cul-de-sac. BOS Resolution No. 91-
335 requires compliance with AASHTO standards of road design. The Public Works
Department has indicated no objection to this item of exception.
These petitions are submitted as a request that the Planning and Zoning Commission recommend
to the Board of Supervisors the granting of these exceptions from the Mohave County Subdivision
Regulations as outlined in Article 1.13. These items of exception are not detrimental to the public
~velfare or injurious to other adjacent properties, nor does the request nullify the intent of the Master
Plan of the county or other regulations.
WHEREAS, the following are Findings of Fact for the above captioned item:
a. All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations.

RESOLUTION NO. 98-196 Page 3
b. The property is designated as a part of the Outlying Community of Beaver Dam/Littlefield.
The proposed action complies with the Mohave County General Plan, as designated therein,
in that the proposal is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposal appears to be
compatible with the Virgin River Communities Area Plan.
c. The site appears to be adequate for the action intended, and
