NORTH, RANGE 17 WEST, IN THE MOHAVE COUNTY GENERAL AREA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on December
6, 1999, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether a Report of Water Supply Inadequacy from
the Arizona Department of Water Resources for the above-described subdivision should be accepted by
Mohave County as requested by the project developer, Randy Lyles, Kingman, Arizona. The engineer of
record is Mohave Engineering Associates, Inc., Kingman, Arizona, and
WHEREAS, the property is located in a remote part of Mohave County, approximately sixteen miles
northeast of Lake Havasu City, and forty miles south of the City of Kingman. The property is accessed via
Interstate 40 at Yucca, then approximately twenty-four miles southeast along Alamo Road, then westerly
along various roads, including Mesquite Drive, over fifteen miles to the site, and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Plan, conditionally approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 10,
1999, per BOS Resolution No. 99-173, and the Final Plat, conditionally approved by the Board on August
23, 1999, per BOS Resolution No. 99-316, require the developer to obtain a written affirmation of water
adequacy for this subdivision from the Arizona Department of Water Resources, and
WHEREAS, Article 4.6-I of the Mohave County Subdivision Regulations states: "The developer
shall submit plans for the subdivision water supply, regardless of lot size, to the Arizona Water Commission
(ADWR) in accordance with the provisions of ARS 45-513.', and
WHEREAS, the regulations also require that in the event of a determination of water inadequacy,
that issue will be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission and Board of Supervisors for further
evaluation, and provide that the developer may submit evidence, including but not limited to hydrology or
other reports, well-depth information, pumping capacities, or other documents to the county showing that
the subdivision will, in fact, have a sufficient supply of water to support sustained development, and
RESOLUTION NO. 99-473 Page 2
WHEREAS, the developer has submitted nothing to demonstrate the adequacy of the water supply
for this subdivision. Two statements of water inadequacy have been received from the ADWR for this tract.
The developer has indicated in recent conversations with staff that the ADWR has advised him that a
statement of water adequacy is likely to be obtained for this subdivision if the developer drills another well
to serve the project, and assuming that additional well delivers an agreeable amount of sustainable water to
supplement the well already drilled for this subdivision, and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on
November 10, 1999, the Commission found, in its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, based on
the claims of the developer, that this subdivision has a sufficient supply of water to serve the proposed
subdivision, despite the determinations of the Arizona Department of Water Resources that the water supply
was "inadequate".
WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in The Standard, a newspaper of general
circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, November 17, 1999, and posted on November 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, December 6, 1999, amended the condition of the Preliminary Plan approval for Last Lap
Subdivision, Tract 3807 (BOS Resolution No. 99-173), eliminating the requirement from that Preliminary
Plan approval that the developer obtain a statement from the ADWR, prior to plat recordation, affirming an
adequate water supply for the subdivision, as recommended by the Mohave County Planning and Zoning
Commission and outlined herein. ~VE~~B
