WHEREAS, the Mohave County Public Works Departxnent 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, the following are Findings of Fact for the above captioned item:
a. All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations.

Despite the lack of progress in this subdivision for the previous three and one half years, a
partial final plat submittal for the second phase of this subdivision was recently forwarded

working on supporting documents necessary for the completion of the Final Plat submittal
for Tract 3043-B.
c. The developers of this subdivision intend to complete subdivision improvements prior to the
recordation of each phase of the subdivision and contend that work has been completed in
the past couple of years. No as-built improvement plans have been submitted to evidence

engineer has been hired to complete the subdivision.

subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with all conditions of BOS Resolution Nos. 92-236, 94-211, 95-370, 96-286,
and 97-237.

Planning staff will recommend denial of any additional Extensions of Time for this
Preliminary Plan.

circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, July 25, 1998, and posted on July 24, 1998, as required
by Arizona Revised Statutes and the Mohave County Zoning Regulations.
