2. Single-tiered lots and double-fronted lots. This request is for those lots in the subdivision
which are either single-tiered or double-fronted. Article 6.6-1B of the Mohave County
Subdivision Regulations prohibits single-tiered lots and double-fronted lots.
3. Half-width road rights-of-way. This request is for those subdivision roads which are
proposed by the developer to be constructed to the paved Mohave County standards within
half-width roadway rights-of-way. Article 6.4-5 of the Mohave County Subdivision
Regulations requires full width rights-of-way, as defined elsewhere in those regulations, and
as defined by BOS Resolution No. 91-335.
4. Long blocks. This request is for both Blocks A and B, which exceed maximmn block length.

5. Lots less than standard depth. This request is for some lots in the subdivision which, due to
their irregular boundaries, fail to meet the minimum lot depth of 80 feet as required by
Article 6.7-6.b of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations.
6. Lots exceeding maximum length-to-width ratio of 3:1. This request is for a few lots in the
subdivision which fail to meet the required minimum length-to-width ratio required by
Article 6.7-6.c of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations.
These petitions are submitted as a request that the Plamfing 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
welfare or injurious to other adjacent properties, nor does the request nullify the intent of the Master
Plan of the county or other regulations. The Public Works Department and Planning and Zoning
Department do not support the requested petition of exception for half-width right-of-way/half width
improvements for Calle Del Media.
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department recommends, with the exception of the road cross
sections which must meet the standards of BOS Resolution No. 91-335, the use of Maricopa Association
of Governments (MAG) Standards for the completion of certain improvements for the subdivision, including
but not limited to the construction of roadways. MAG standards have not been officially adopted by the
Mohave County Board of Supervisors, 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 proposed action complies with the Mohave County General Plan and the South Mohave
Valley Area Plan.
c. The site appears to be adequate for the single-family residential use proposed.
