WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on April 5, 1999, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted for an Extension of Time as requested by the developer, Dennis Gootrad, GNP Limited Partnership, Westlake Village, California, for the above-described Preliminary Plan. The project engineer is A-N West, Inc., Bullhead City, Arizona, and WHEREAS, the property is located approximately two miles south of Bullhead City, and is accessed via State Highway 95, then east along and north of E1 Rodeo Road to the site, and WHEREAS, this Preliminary Plan depicts 23 acres subdivided into 115 multi-family residential lots, and WHEREAS, the developer has indicated in a letter dated February 2, 1999, that an Extension of Time is being requested, as "sewer provider issues have finally been resolved", and as the developer needs time to process and record the Final Plats for the proposed phases in the subdivision. Three phases are proposed. The first Final Plat submittal for Phase A of this subdivision was completed for review in December, 1998, over five years years after the revised Preliminary Plan approval for the tract, and WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan for this tract was approved by the Mohave County Board of Supervisors on June 7, 1993, per BOS Resolution No. 93-155. The first Extension of Time of the conditional approval of the Preliminary Plan for this tract was granted on June 5, 1995, per BOS Resolution No. 95-271, expiring on June 7, 1996. The second extension was granted on June 3, 1996, per BOS Resolution No. 96-185. The third extension was granted on July 7, 1997, per BOS Resolution NO. 97-220. The fourth extension was granted on August 10, 1998, per BOS Resolution No. 98-272, with project approval automatically expiring on June 7, 1999. Subdivision Regulations, Article 3.10-1 states: "Upon application to the Commission and prior to the expiration of the time limit, extensions in increments of one (1) 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 F'AGE 2 OF ~ 8K ~280 PG 45 RESOLUTION NO. 99-102 Page 2 WHEREAS, with this extension request the developer has also requested that a condition of the Preliminary Plan approval for this tract be deleted. Condition number 3 of BOS Resolution No. 93-155 required that the developer establish a "corporate entity" to provide permanent maintenance of the block walls required in the subdivision. The developer proposes to include a provision in the CC&Rs for this subdivision that the owners of individual lots in the tract be responsible for the maintenance of the portion of the block walls on their property. Staff has no objection to the developer's proposal as it appears to accomplish the same end as a more complicated requirement for the establishment of a property owners association, and WHEREAS, the adoption in 1995 of an Extension of Time Policy for subdivision Preliminary Plans was deemed necessary by the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors, to curb the abuses seen in the extension process. Considering the lack of processing for this plat over the years, a fifth Extension of Time for this project appears to undermine the intention of the Extension of Time Policy that extensions be granted based on actual performance. Since the last Extension of Time, this subdivision has seen some progress, due to the recent submittal and partial processing of a Final Plat for the first phase of the subdivision. Accordingly, staff recommends conditional approval of this request, based on recent plat activity. Staff also recognizes that without an extension(s), the developer will not be able to successfully process Final Plats for the multiple phases proposed in this subdivision, 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, this action, if approved, will be the fifth Extension of Time for the conditional Preliminary Plan approval of this proposed subdivision, and WHEREAS, the following are Findings of Fact for the above captioned item: All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations. b. This request does not appear to comply with the intent of the Extension of Time Policy. WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on March 10, 1999, the Commission recommended APPROVAL of an Extension of Time for the Preliminary Plan subject to the following conditions: 1. Compliance with all conditions of BOS Resolution Nos. 93-155, 95-271, 96-185, 97-220, and 98-272. 2. Condition number 3 of BOS Resolution No. 93-155 be deleted in its entirety. The developer shall ensure that provisions of perpetual maintenance of the block walls and any other common elements in this subdivision be made the responsibility of the property owners of the lots and parcels in the subdivision. F'AGE ~ OF ~ BE ~8. PG 46 FEE~9~."236~7 RESOLUTION NO. 9%102 Page 3 3. The developer must, prior to the expiration of this conditional approval, process the submitted Final Plat for Tract 4145-A to recordation. Unless significant progress is made in the coming year, including the recordation of the Final Plat for the first phase of this subdivision, no further Extensions of Time will be granted for this proposed tract. 4. This Extension of Time will be in effect until June 7, 2000. WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in The Standard, a newspaper of general circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, March 17, 1999, and posted on March 19, 1999, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes and the Mohave County Zoning Regulations. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Supervisors, at their regular meeting on Monday, April 5, 1999, APPROVED this Extension of Time as recommended by the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission and outlined herein.
