RESOLUTION NO. 99-105
A RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH AN EXTENSION OF TIME OF THE APPROVED
PRELIMINARY SUBDIVISION PLAN OF VALLEY PARK ESTATES, TRACT 3041, BEING A
SUBDIVISION OF A PORTION OF PARCEL 293, A PART OF THE SE¼ OF THE SW¼ OF
SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 21 NORTH, RANGE 19 WEST, IN THE GOLDEN VALLEY AREA,
MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
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, A1 Haley, Golden Valley, Arizona, for the above-described Preliminary
Plan. The project engineer is Mohave Engineering Associates, Inc., Kingman, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, the property is located approximately eleven 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, this Preliminary' Plan depicts 39 acres subdivided into 91 single-family residential lots
and four parcels, including the private roadway system, and
WHEREAS, the developer has indicated in a letter dated February 1, 1999, that an Extension of
Time is being requested, as the developer needs time to process and record the Final Plats for the proposed
phases in the subdivision. Four phases are proposed. The Final Plat for Phase A o£this subdivision was
first submitted to Mohave County for review in Ma3', 1998, six 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
Super~,isors 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 of the conditional approval
of the revised Preliminary Plan fbr this tract was granted 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. The owner sought to again
revive this project in 1997, with the submittal of another request for an Extension of Time of the approval
for the old revised Preliminary Plan. Second, third, and fourth extensions were granted by the Board on July
7, 1997, per BOS Resolution No. 97-233. A fifth extension was granted on July 13, 1998, per BOS
Resolution No. 98-243, with project approval automatically expiring on May 4, 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." 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
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 extensive lack of processing for this plat over the
years, a sixth 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 advanced some, due to the submittal and partial processing in 1998 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 atso 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 sixth 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:
a. 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 reconunended APPROVAL of an Extension of Time for the Preliminary
Plan subject to the following conditions:
1. Compliance with all conditions of BOS Resolution Nos. 91-266 (as prescribed by BOS
Resolution No. 92-148), 92-148, 92-193, 92-259, 94-168, 97-233, and 98-243.
2. The developer must, prior to the expiration of this conditional approval, process the
submitted Final Plat for Tract 3041-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.
3. This extension of time will be in effect until May 4, 2000.
