7:03

We're going to move on to the project review items for this agenda.

7:07

We have one project review item under uh 7A.

7:13

Uh WTPM26-0002 Rocky Mountain Vista Parcel map.

7:21

We have uh, I believe Chris Frantic here to talk to us about this.

7:26

Thank you, Chris.

7:27

What can you tell us about this item?

7:37

See my uh presentation.

7:41

Chris, where oh, there you are.

7:43

I can see your screen now.

7:45

Uh you can see my presentation.

7:47

Yes.

7:47

All right, perfect.

7:49

So we're looking at tentative parcel map.

7:52

Um WTPM 26-0002.

7:57

It's for Rocky Mountain Vista parcel map.

8:01

So it's located at uh 15990 Rocky Vista Road.

8:07

Uh the existing parcel does contain a single family home, uh, as is.

8:13

It is in the southeast Truckee Meadows planning area, and it's currently can you advance your slides?

8:20

I have is it not going?

8:25

Okay.

8:30

It's uh not in presentation mode.

8:33

I just was in presentation mode.

8:45

Chris, if you'd like, I can present and I can you can just let me know what to hit next.

8:50

Yeah, go ahead since it's giving me uh issues.

8:53

I apologize, guys.

8:54

No, no, that's fine.

8:56

Happens.

9:00

Thank you, Ring.

9:27

All right, so you go ahead to the second slide.

9:37

Perfect.

9:38

Um I'll start back over, but this is located at 15990 Rocky Vista Road.

9:46

The existing parcel does have a single family home on the property currently.

9:51

It's in the Southeast Truckee Meadows planning area, and it's currently zoned.

9:56

Medium density suburban.

9:58

Next slide, please.

10:01

So the request currently before us is to approve that tentative parcel map dividing one five acre parcel into four parcels ranging from 43,800 square feet to 58,110 square feet.

10:14

Next slide, please.

10:19

Before you is the proposed parcel map.

10:23

And based off of staff's review, this parcel map did meet the requirements for the planning area as well as the MDS regulatory zone.

10:33

Next slide, please.

10:38

So this is the tentative parcel map evaluation.

10:43

The max lot potential is under the current zoning, the max lot potential is two uh 10 lots.

10:55

The number of lots being shown is four.

10:58

Minimum lot width is 65 feet.

11:01

And the minimum lot width on the parcel map shown is 130 feet.

11:06

There's a section of within 212.

11:11

This is the Southeast Trucky Meadows Planning modifiers.

11:16

And unlike most areas of the county where MDS or medium density suburban allows for three dwellings per acre.

11:26

In the Southeast Truckee Meadows, it requires a minimum lot size of half an acre or 21,780 square feet.

11:35

The minimum lot size shown on the parcel map is 43,800 square feet.

11:40

As a result, staff was able to make show that it met all the minimum requirements for that regulatory zone and again for those modifiers.

11:50

Next slide, please.

11:55

Staff is recommending approval for this tentative parcel map.

11:59

The possible motion is before you on the screen.

12:12

And I'm available for any questions you may have.

12:19

Thank you, Chris.

12:21

Is the applicant here with us today, Urina or Chris?

12:25

Do you know?

12:27

I believe so.

12:31

Welcome to let us know anything I'd like us to know at this point.

12:38

Is it do you know who who may be with us?

12:40

I think it's uh Matthew and attendees.

12:45

I will go ahead and let uh allow Matthew to speak.

12:48

Matthew, please state your full name for the record.

13:00

Matthew, if you'd like to um uh uh say anything about this project, um you're welcome to.

13:07

Uh you're not required to by any means, but if you'd like to say anything in addition to what uh Chris provided for us, let us know.

13:20

Thank you, Irina.

13:22

Thank you, Matt.

13:24

Um do any of the board members or committee members have anything they'd like to discuss.

13:34

Okay.

13:36

Thank you.

13:38

Um, I see that you have joined us.

13:43

Um did you join um us in order um to help us with any engineering questions?

13:50

Like I mean, Chris did mention the significant engineering conditions.

13:54

Or do you feel like they're beyond just answering questions?

13:58

Do you feel like there's something you'd like the board or the community side to know about this project that that's different from other projects?

14:07

This is a uh Janelle Thomas for the record, senior licensed engineer.

14:12

Um I would like to share that um this review of this particular parcel map is a little bit different than some others that you may have seen.

14:23

Um we are treating this parcel map um similar to the way that we have reviewed subdivisions in the past.

14:32

Um I'm going to allow our county surveyor to uh cite the uh Nevada revised statute, which allows staff to review this under the guidance of um subdivisions, if he would please share that information.

14:54

Why is that important?

14:55

Why do you want to do that?

15:00

The parcel map that is being presented is directly adjacent to a recent parcel map application that has been approved and processed.

15:11

And therefore we are trying to uh promote the more robust improvements that are typically found with a subdivision rather than allowing a subdivision to move forward without those um without those more robust requirements.

15:32

So it's adjacent to another parcel map.

15:35

By the same by the same owner.

15:38

So it's not it's not exactly the same as a serial parcel map, but it kind of looks I can I can clarify that Eric.

15:46

Yeah.

15:46

Yeah.

15:47

If Wayne could cite the NRS.

15:50

NRS NRS 278.462 requirements, which may be imposed by a governing body, the governing body, or if authorized by governing body, the planning commission or other authorized person.

16:06

And item three for a second or subsequent parcel map with respect to a a single parcel or B a contiguous tract of land under the same ownership, which is this case.

16:20

May require any reasonable improvement, but not more than would be required if the parcel were a subdivision.

16:28

Okay.

16:29

It's to discourage people from doing essentially track maps by multiple parcel maps.

16:35

I understand, yes.

16:36

Thank you so much.

16:37

That doesn't retroactively apply to subdivision improvements on the previous parcel map, though, right?

16:45

No.

16:46

But I understand.

16:47

Okay.

16:48

That's very helpful.

16:50

Um is that Janelle the primary thing that's different for us that you'd like us to know?

16:59

Correct.

17:00

Nothing really about about I was just here to answer any questions that you might have.

17:05

Perfect.

17:05

There's nothing in particular about the physical.

17:15

Yes, okay.

17:17

And uh really there isn't anything that is um out of the ordinary or specific to this site.

17:24

Thank you so much.

17:25

And so we would will end up seeing this site so connect to both water and sewer.

17:31

Um all right, so I appreciate that very much.

17:35

Thank you for being here to know.

17:37

Um Wayne, thank you so much for uh uh citing that reference for us.

17:44

Um I wanted to have that discussion.

17:47

I think it it's important to have that on the record as part of the record and not to just blow by it in the public hearing here for this particular parcel if that that is a uh a little bit out of the ordinary, and it is an interesting thing that we're applying in this particular case.

18:05

So I wanted to make sure that we had an actual discussion on the record about it.

18:09

And I very much appreciate it.

18:11

Um do we have any public comment on this item?

18:20

No public comment uh via Zoom at this time.

18:26

So um we I'll go ahead and call the public hearing to a close and I will um call for a motion on this particular item.

18:44

Chris, can you um or or Iriana?

18:47

Can you perhaps share the slide that has the motion on it for?

18:51

Of course, I will go ahead and share.

18:54

I have it.

18:55

This is Wayne Handrack.

18:57

I move that after giving reason consideration to the information contained within the staff report, the information received during the public meeting that the Washoe County Parcel Map Review Committee approved parcel map case number WTPM 26-0002 for Harry Fry, subject to the conditions of approval included as exhibit A with the staff report and make the determination that the following criteria is or will be adequately provided for pursuant to Washoe County Code section 110.606.30, and that is number one I through XII.

19:41

Thank you, Wayne.

19:42

We have a motion.

19:43

Do we have a second?

19:44

Mr.

19:44

Rob, I'll cycle it.

19:46

Thank you.

19:47

Robin motion a second.

19:50

I'll call for a vote.

19:51

All in favor, aye.

19:54

Any opposed, none opposed.

19:57

That item passes unanimously.

20:00

Thank you, everybody, for your participation in that.

20:03

We will move on to number eight reports and future agenda items.

20:09

Um I don't have any future uh agenda items.

20:14

Um I would like to note that um up under item five, the approval of the agenda.

20:23

You'll notice we didn't actually vote on that.

20:27

Um I am a member of a couple of other boards that do public hearings and they they've both moved towards only voting on those if there is a change.

20:42

Um a proposed change to the agenda, but just deeming it approved if no one asks for any changes or review to the agenda.

20:51

Um with the minutes uh uh we'll likely go ahead and continue to vote on them.

20:59

Um but if it um were possible to just deem them approved unless there were uh a motion to change them.

21:08

Um I think that would be a valuable change, but I'd like to discuss that with Chaz before I uh uh start making that change.

21:18

Um so we'll move on to 8B.

21:23

Uh Chaz, do you have any legal information or updates for no major updates?

21:28

I think that um I think the minutes need to be approved in a certain amount of time period or um at the the most or at the next uh public meeting.

21:42

So I think that has to stay as an as an agenda item just based off of open meeting law.

21:46

But uh an agenda item.

21:48

I just wonder if we actually need to go through the motion of voting on.

21:54

I think they need to be approved, so I think I think yes.

21:57

Okay, thank you.

22:04

Has anybody signed up for public comment hearing them?

22:09

No public comment via Zoom at this time.

22:12

Thank you so much.

22:13

We'll move on to agenda item 10, which is agenda.

22:16

Thank you so much, everybody, for being here today.

22:19

Um, we are joined.

22:21

Thank you.

22:22

Recording stopped.
