Uh any comments, changes requested.

I'll entertain a motion.

This is Leo Arishni.

I second.

Uh we have a motion and a second to approve the May 7, 2026 agenda.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed say nay.

Motion carries.

Uh as to the last meeting minutes, uh April 2nd, 2026.

Have you all reviewed those draft minutes?

Any comments or questions?

No.

Seeing none, I'll call for a motion.

Mrs.

Rob, I move to accept as written.

This is Leo Horishni.

I second that.

Okay, we have a motion and a second to approve the April 2nd, 2026 draft minutes as presented.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed, say nay.

Motion carries.

Okay.

Time to move on to the public hearing.

First item 8A WAC26-005, Black Rock 360.

Mr.

Lloyd.

Yeah, for hearing discussion and possible action to approve an amendment of conditions for WAC26005.

Um for special use permit case number WSUP 210012 to provide additional four-year extension of time for the project.

The WSUP 21012 allows the establishment of inoperable vehicle storage and light wholesaling storage and distribution use types and major grading for Washoe County Code.

The application is uh as submitted by uh by applicant and property owner burning man project.

The uh subject property is located approximately 3,000 feet north of downtown Gurlack and consists of approximately 360 acres.

The proposal is being reviewed under development code article 206, the high desert uh area modifiers, uh Article 302 allowed uses and Article 810 special use permit and is uh situated within Commission District uh five.

The site is currently governed by the rural master plan land use designation and the general rural regulatory zone district falling within the boundaries of the high desert planning area and representing Washoe County in this uh matter is planner Julie O'Lander.

Thank you.

Um good afternoon.

As uh Mr.

Lloyd said, this is a request from um Black Rock 360 for an additional four years to meet the conditions of Washoe County for the health department and for NDEP concerning water and wastewater management.

Is your microphone on?

I'll turn it up.

Oh, thank you.

I'll speak more loudly.

Oh, there you go.

Now I can't.

So here's a vicinity map.

You can sort of see where Gurlock is and where the property is north of Gurloch.

So on February 4th, 2021, this board approved a SUP to allow for the use of inoperable inoperable and operable vehicle storage, light wholesaling storage and distribution use type, and for major grading for 18 acres of disturbance at 9,000 cubic yards of cut, 20,000 cubic yards of fill, and to vary the landscaping, screening, and paved parking and contain um and then and container adjacency standards, and to approve a five-year five-acre annual expansion of the use over the next four years for a total of 30 acres of use area on May 4th of 2023.

Um Board of Adjustment approved uh another amendment of conditions to extend the time to um a three-year extension to May 4th of 2026.

So now we are at the development is asking again for that addition.

Um the only thing that's changing in the original conditions is adding that um two-year date to May 4th, 2020 30.

So the applicant is asking for these because of the wastewater and water conditions that are in the special use permit, original special use permit.

They just need more time.

There's been some challenges out there, and so that's um why they're before you today asking for this change.

Um here's um the area of noticing.

Um I noticed within um 3500 screen, uh, 3500 feet of the property and 40 notices were sent out.

Um agencies did review the application, various agents.

I didn't get any um exchanges, um, additions, however, um board member um Julian had brought up a question about the water condition, and I have added that, so I'm adding an additional condition snot in your staff report that what it was in the comments I received back from water.

I sort of perceived it as a condition that because it says prior to any grading or development of the property, um, they need to acquire um water rights.

However, speaking further with engineering, we decided that'd be appropriate to add it as a condition.

So I will amend the conditions that you all got, and so then that makes the motion having uh an uh approval with amended amendment of conditions.

So we're gonna amend those conditions you all got to add that water condition in there.

Um that completes my presentation, and I'm available for any questions or explanations, and the applicant is also here if you need any um further information from them.

Thank you.

Okay, thank you.

Any questions uh for staff at this time?

Uh this pack hold for the record.

Uh, I may have not read it correctly, but is it a four-year extension or two years?

Correct, four years.

It's from 2026 to 2030.

Okay.

So they're still ironing out the things that are required by um NDEP and also the health department.

Okay, thank you.

Anyone else?

Uh this is Leo Horishni.

Um, and I guess either Julie or the applicant can answer to this.

I'm curious as to I um unfortunately I I'll I have to admit this this was one um site I did not get to go out and see as I normally do.

I'm curious as to the property, how much of this extends out onto the playa um uh and uh you know, I guess paralleling uh County Road 34.

Um Julia Lander for the record, maybe we put that map back up on my presentation.

Because the it's a copy of the on the burning man property that's north of Gerlock, it's not where the Black Rock um event goes on at all.

It's really north and um west of it.

Yeah, the copy of the map here wasn't it's hard because it's such a large property and it's your last time.

Come on, you're gonna figure these out.

It's your last time to do this, Adriana.

Yeah, if you can't, you can't map better.

No.

Let's see if we can give them a map.

Um yeah, while we're waiting on that, uh there's one more question.

Uh yeah, this pack holder for the record.

How much of the previous work has been done under the other approved permits or variances?

So this is the only special use permit they have on um there have I uh well the applicant maybe could speak to it, but the special use permit they have not moved farther any farther forward getting those uses established on the property.

So no grading has been done or well, I'll let um Derek to that.

So here's a map.

So does this help you?

Um Yes, it does that does the playa is really off the page.

It's not in the county.

So the playa that we talked about with Burning Man is not in Washoe County, it's in Story County, so it is not even on this, wouldn't be even on this page, it would be to the right.

Oh, portion, sorry, portion county.

That's exactly uh okay, okay.

Okay.

Did do you have a presentation to make?

We do, yes.

And um it I realize we're sort of shifting in here.

Yeah, I wasn't officially called to the podium, but I'm I'm happy to to go into our presentation if that if that fits.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, in the context of the the question that's been asked, why don't we just go ahead with the applicant presentation?

Okay, great, thank you.

Uh Derek Wilson uh on behalf of uh Burning Man.

Um so uh I I've worked with Burning Man for many years, uh helped them manage uh their their properties, their infrastructure needs uh in the Girllock area.

Uh this property is a is a support piece for their overall activities out there.

Um so we have that SUP in place.

Uh there has been uh a lot of effort put into completing the SUP.

So there's been grading, there's been roads, uh, there's there's been uh multiple building permits, uh there's there's buildings ordered that are on site now that are waiting to be uh hooked up to utilities.

Um so we're we're absolutely in progress on this.

Um I'm just gonna give a general uh kind of overall stance where we are, and then we have Burning Man staff here who can give specifics on exactly some of these questions.

Uh backing up one step further, uh there are valid reasons for for this for the length of time this has taken.

Um and and I'm gonna let Pete here uh discuss those, but it breaks down into two broad categories.

One the unique uh nature of our infrastructure and uh and two um a geothermal questions that had to be worked out with with ormat uh energy.

Um so absolutely the the investment is being made, the pro the project is ongoing and uh fully intend to complete it.

Um I could point out that uh it it is technically possible to keep a project like this uh kind of on life support by continually filing for building permits and grading permits.

Uh we we didn't love that because it isn't it isn't a very upfront predictable way to behave.

So we feel like we're doing the correct thing by being here and asking for this formal request.

So I hope that uh indicates that we're we're attempting to to work with the county on on all the issues.

Um so I'm gonna turn it over to Pete and let him address the two specific reasons why uh why the timeline has has been as long as it is.

Uh and then we're happy to answer questions after that.

Thank you.

Should I advance the slide with this?

Yep.

Uh Pete Dronkers uh for the record, Burning Man Project Permitting Specialist.

Uh thank you for your time today, uh board members.

Um we'll start out with a slideshow that's that helps answer some of these questions.

Um which button is here, here's okay.

Thank you.

That's not really bad.

Okay, we'll advance right here.

Okay.

Um Julie covered um this preamble pretty well, so I'll just move on to the next slide.

Uh this is probably a bit better of a map to see the the nature of the landscape and um where the playa sort of meets the property boundary there.

Um this property is um about a mile and a half north of downtown.

And um really doesn't cover the playa, kind of touches it a little bit, but uh the national conservation area is far, far to the north of this, so there's no um environmental uh protection in this in this particular area.

Uh next slide, please.

And this gets to the question of what's been done.

Um this is uh significant amount of grading work um completed now.

Um and we're doing infrastructure planning and engineering is mostly complete for both the freshwater and the water treatment systems.

Uh next slide, please.

So we have uh completed major grading, uh had the water well drilled.

Uh the one of the biggest things that has uh taken us to this point is the wastewater system approval by NDEP.

It it took nearly three years for us to get the discharge permit uh from NDEP for our very unique uh wastewater system.

Um it's called dry vaccine, and um it's actually the first unit of this type to be deployed in the state, so it's fully understandable why it took far longer than it normally would with a conventional uh water treatment system.

So this uh that is now landed, and we have the wastewater per the discharge permit in hand from NDEP.

So we're very pleased with that.

Um wastewater unit is procured and awaiting delivery.

Engineering is uh site wide, nearly complete, uh meeting every condition of the condition of approval.

That's basically all engineered at this point.

Uh the freshwater system is be procured, and um one of the the big achievements also was the approval of the prelim preliminary engineering report from Northern Nevada Public Health on the reverse osmosis water treatment system on the freshwater side of things.

So we also have that approved, and we're ready to uh take delivery on the reverse osmosis unit and um get that going.

Um the water plan to operate, that's our next major submission that is mostly complete.

Uh we have about three outbuildings as associated with the uh conditions of approval that are procured, um not yet delivered but procured.

Uh next slide, please.

Uh and the overall plan for the property is is really the same as it has been all along.

Um, to there's no substantive changes proposed, it's only an extension of time uh in order to meet all the conditions of approval as soon as possible and begin business and internal logistical operations per the SUP.

Um and that's all I have for you.

I appreciate your time.

I'm happy to take questions.

Thank you.

Uh any questions for staff or the applicant.

Uh this is pack hold for the record.

I have a question.

How many water rights do you have actually for that area?

And and are they sufficient for the total planned use?

Yes, absolutely.

So and this is another thing that I should address is that part of the reason for the delay was that um there are geothermal leasehold that used to be owned by Ormat Incorporated, and now we own those leases.

So um, because we have a well that accessed hot water, um, or Mat considered that a geothermal rights trespass.

Um, and that challenge the water rights diversion into the well, that's all complete now.

So there are no more water rights challenges, and those water rights, if I'm not mistaken, have have they already been diverted?

Do you know?

Okay.

Um there's probably a little bit more I need to learn about the water rights situation, but there is no legal uh hurdle at this point because there's no challenge to the diversion of water rights.

We had the water rights, it was diverting them into the well that is existing now.

That was challenged, but that challenge is no longer it it disappeared when we acquired ORMAT's federal geothermal leases.

So there are no challenges to the water rights diversion.

We have I I believe it's many thousands of acre feet, but I I I can't be sure of the number at this time, but I can assure you it is it is not the standard domestic water well amount of two acre feet.

It's we under this is a commercial well, so that would not have even been legal in the first place.

So that is not the case.

We have adequate water rights.

I can't tell you the exact number right now.

I'd be happy to get back to you about that, but it is far more than orders of magnitude more than a domestic well at two acre feet.

Um, so this is a uh commercial well, I believe it's 10 inch casing.

So this pack holder for the record, is the state of Nevada involved in this and the beneficial use of this water?

Yeah, the again, I'm not an expert on the water rights situation, but it's my general understanding that the state engineer will approve the water rights diversion into that well.

So as I said, we have sufficient water rights.

Um I believe it's measured in the thousands of acre feet, but I I just again I can't say the exact number right now.

I'd have to reference it.

Um, and then the state engineer either has or is in the process of approving that water rights diversion.

Um the challenge to that from Ormat was dropped relatively recently.

So that's that's part of the reason it's it's still sort of pending on the water rights front.

But yes, to answer your question, we have definitely have sufficient water rights.

The new condition that Julie's assigned will require proof of that.

And I think that's a good idea because that's a major issue is securing water rights, making sure that it's enough and that it's legal and it's long term, and we can easily provide that um as part of the new conditions of approval.

So we're not concerned about that at all.

Yeah, this pet called for the record.

Uh I understand quite a bit about water rights just having gone through some of those issues, and the state requires it's actually takes quite a bit of time actually for to get a certificate.

So yeah, hopefully you've factored that in.

Yeah.

Um yeah, it's my understanding, like I said, that we we have more than enough water rights to to secure our long-term uses.

Okay, thank you.

Yep.

Uh Leo Horish for the record.

Um, I just happened to notice, and again, um the I'm I'm asking because I didn't go up there to visu visually see what was going on, and and the cut the the copy of the map here.

One of the earlier um schematics seemed to show there were a couple of pads on the on the opposite side of county road 34.

Yep.

Yep.

And and where is this sited in relation to uh Duby Lane?

Good question.

Uh Duby Lane is to the south of that, a little ways.

Okay, and Dubie Lane is a um operates on a right-of-way from BLM.

So uh it's my understanding that it's entirely on federal land to the south of us.

Okay, and there it's my understanding too that there is a that there is a right-of-way because it's considered sort of a culturally significant stretch of road.

So, but so your um, so your pads will not necessarily encroach on uh on that structure feature.

Yeah, that's there's no there's no um adverse impact of Duby Lane whatsoever from this project.

All right, um, and then the pads you alluded to on the opposite side on the northwest side, um, the uppermost pad is uh where the water well is located now.

So that well is existing.

Um, and then the pad to the south is for um future future development.

It's basically a truck turnaround location, so that it can come down and turn around there and go back out onto the highway.

So that's all part of the original plan set, it's all per the original design.

So the so the structure or whatever that will be on those pads is basically uh 10 foot out building, 12 foot out.

Yeah, exactly.

We we have a well housing building right on order, and that will that will go on that northern rounded pad, and that is where the that is where the um the water well is currently.

We've actually done quite a bit of erosion control, weed control work on those slopes to get them fully stabilized so the native vegetation can come back in.

Yeah, so all right, thank you.

Yep.

Uh Peter Kishan for the record.

So if we have um all of this business with uh public health and NDEP and the water rights resolved, why the request for four years?

And I think the follow-up question to that is are there any other ancillary approvals, building permits or otherwise that are going to expire if this isn't complete?

No, there's no uh building permits now that that are uh set to expire.

The the main permit that's been associated with this work to date is the major grading permit.

And um the buildings that we mentioned, the outbuildings, the modular outbuildings, those are um we have not pulled permits for those, they are not yet delivered.

We're in we're in the final stages of procurement and engineering and design for those buildings.

Um to answer your other question about the four year extension.

Um it it's it's taken us a long time to get here because of the delays.

We feel like we're basically at a fresh start right now.

So and we we feel like at this, we're gonna need more time.

We don't think we're gonna need four years, but it was it was we felt like it was the right thing to ask for because there could be cost overruns, we don't know, but we wanted to err on the side of having more time and not less.

So hopefully we'll we'll complete it in two years.

But did you want to make a comment?

Yeah, that was the point I was gonna make.

Derek Wilson, uh that was a point I was gonna make.

We we wanted to again be up front.

We didn't want to come back here uh one year at a time and keep doing this.

So we tried to acknowledge that uh there is some remaining uncertainty.

Yeah, I mean it sounds like you're spending money and making progress and want to get this stuff installed.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, and Leo Horishni, uh, I did note that with the water and um sewage treatment plant, that it was only um approved last you know, last November.

So I I can I I echoed the concerns on the length of time, but hearing that I can accept your perception that you're looking at this as a as a starting point going forward.

I I understand that.

Yeah, yeah.

I I'd like to just point out this is a secondary issue, but uh I it's our hope that the hard work that Burning Man people did and the expenses they incurred in getting these unique um uh wastewater and freshwater systems uh approved, uh, will pave the way for other users in in outlying areas and and potentially a benefit across Nevada to bring some innovation to the field.

Yeah, and I'll I can make a comment about that.

This dry back system is actually quite innovative in that it does not produce uh pathogen-laced wastewater.

It is it basically produces takes raw sewage and it basically converts that into nearly distilled water quality.

It is incredibly high quality water that comes out, and then the solid waste is an inert, uh it's inert to all pathogens.

It is completely applicable for land application pending additional permits to do so, which is something we plan to pursue.

So, what we plan to do is take this distilled water, which by the way, is not actually being discharged right now.

It's the current design goes into an impoundment and it evaporates out.

Later, we will either discharge the ground or we'll apply to as um shrub watering, tree watering, things like that.

But we basically have a distill a very high quality source of water to use in landscaping and irrigation in a pathogen-free solid inner waste product to come out on the other side of it.

So, I mean, it's pretty neat for what it can allow us to do, but because the NDP had never seen this technology before, it is deployed in California, but NDP hadn't seen this technology before.

It took their engineers quite a bit to work with us to to feel comfortable with the engineering and the design.

We actually had the um we met with them with the designer, the the engineer and the the comp the the owner of the company um a couple years ago in Carson City.

So that was quite neat to go over how this technology works with the engineers at NDEP.

So very good.

Uh any other questions or comments?

Do we have any public comment?

There is no public comment in chambers or via Zoom.

Okay, we'll bring it back for uh discussion at the board.

Any comments, folks?

Yeah, this is Rob.

I just want to applaud you guys.

Um historically, when we see these special use permit extensions, we only give people one, you know, one, maybe two.

But I I applaud you guys for what you're doing.

This is uh very exciting, and I'm glad to hear the progress that you're making and the new innovation technology stuff that you're using.

And so I think that's great.

And I'm in for I'm in favor of doing the extension.

Thank you, Rob.

Anyone else?

Any comments?

This is Kathy Julian for the record.

Yes, with the addition of the water rights uh provision, I'm perfectly comfortable with this.

Thank you.

Okay.

Um I would tend to agree.

The uh findings seem uh quite easy to make here.

And uh they've obviously done a ton of work, so I can support the four years as well.

All right, seeing nothing further.

Do I have a motion?

Yes, sir, Rob, I'll make it.

I move that after giving reason consideration and information contained in the staff report and information received during the public hearing.

The Washington County Board of Adjustments approved the amended amended of conditions case number WAC2605 for Burning Man project with the conditions included in exhibit a having made all five findings in accordance with the Washington County Code section one 10.810.30, subject to the conditions contained in exhibit A to the staff report.

Thank you.

This is Leo Orichny.

I'll second.

Okay, we have a motion and a second.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Aye.

Any opposed saying nay.

Okay, motion carries.

Thank you.

Okay, we'll move on to uh item 8B.

WA admin 26-000 for the community pancake breakfast.

Mr.

Lloyd.

Okay.

For hearing discussion and possible action to approve an administrative permit for an outdoor entertainment event, specifically a pancake breakfast for 500 attendees at the North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection Station at 875 Tanager Street on July 3rd, 2026, to uh from 8 a.m.

to 10 a.m.

Uh this application is submitted by property uh by the property owner, North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection District.

The subject property is located at 875 Tanningcher Street and consists of approximately 30,000 uh 37,284 square feet.

Um the proposal is being reviewed under development code article eight oh eight administrative permits and is situated within commission district one.

The site is currently governed by the Tahoe Master Plan uh land use designation of TA IBC uh regulatory zone district.

It's falling within the boundaries of the Tahoe area plan.

Representing Washoe County uh for in this matter once again is planner Julie O'Lander.

Okay, Julie, so four of us have seen this before.

Do you this yeah?

Do you care for a presentation?

We do.

I'd like Pat to uh make sure he's gonna initiate him to it.

Really?

Yeah.

It's an exciting, it's an exciting event.

It's a community pancake breakfast.

This is pack hold of the record.

I do have one question though.

I I don't have to do a presentation if you just want a question.

Presentation.

Oh, you want the presentation?

Okay.

Yes.

I mean pancake.

This is not forwarding.

Um batteries did.

I mean, we're talking pancakes here.

Yeah, and you can go up and get some too.

Um it's okay.

So you can keep going.

So this is a pancake breakfast on July 3rd.

Um, the event has been held for many years, 20 years plus.

Um, it's done by the North Lake Fire Protection District as a thank you to the to the community primarily.

They estimate about 500 people will be attending, and there's about 25 staff or volunteers that'll help uh prepare the food for the event.

As I said, it's on the third, it's from eight to ten in the morning.

You get pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice.

And then um the food is all prepared on site and served in the firehouse so you can go through the firehouse.

And that's one of the things that fire district personnel does do.

They give tours of the firehouse.

Parking is available on the surrounding streets, and um, and it hasn't been a prop in the past with the parking.

So I think a lot of people walk to it.

Yeah, here's a layout of how it looks.

Um, you can see where the station is and that the different buildings that they have on site.

Next slide.

And here, oh, I guess I should stay back, go back one more.

You can see where the um lineup with the food is, and um, so it's served on that side, one side, and then people can tour through the through the station.

And then um, noticing was sent out to um 134 parcels.

I didn't receive any emails or phone calls.

I guess it's a well-known event up there.

Next slide.

Um, all the departments that we viewed it that have comments.

I mean, conditions have been added to the um conditions of approval.

I was able to make all four findings, and there's a possible motion found in your staff report.

So um board member called well, do you have any further questions?

I have one question.

It says here the breakfast is with pancake, sausage, fresh fruit, coffee, and juice.

No ham.

I don't know.

You have to bring that up with the fire department.

You know, when you go up there, you go up and you get you know, sell me what ham next year.

Okay, thank you.

What about syrup?

Any other questions?

Any questions for second?

I believe um, I don't know if they're on the are they on the line.

I don't know.

They just zoomed in.

Sometimes the fire department zooms in.

They tend to be a little busy up there sometimes.

I I would think member Julian might have some input on this.

Um, I think this is a Kathy Julian for the record.

This is an excellent event.

I sadly have not been able to join it because I am always setting up another booth at the community fair on the same day.

But um, I have never heard any complaints about parking or anything about this product uh event.

Thank you.

Perfect.

Uh is the applicant on.

Would they wish to make a presentation?

I do not see any.

Okay, I do see someone with i iPhone.

If you are with the applicant, if you would please unmute and state your first and last name for the record.

Good afternoon, board Andrew Inaqiros, PIO for North Lake Tahoe Fire.

I would just like to thank you guys for reviewing and possibly approving this.

Unfortunately, we do not have ham.

I'm happy to put that in the um request for next year, but we do have plenty of the original log cabin syrup.

Excellent.

Good answer.

Any uh further questions for the applicant?

No.

No.

Okay.

We have any public comment.

The God.

There is no public comment in chambers or via Zoom.

Okay, we'll bring it back to the board for discussion.

Anybody have anything to say?

Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion.

Uh this is Pat Caldwell for the record.

I'll make a motion.
