The proposed Glowstone Ridge project seeks to develop a 25-lot single-family subdivision on 4.7 acres within an R-16 zoning district. A major focus of the hearing was transportation concurrency, with neighbors questioning if the traffic study accurately captured school-hour congestion and voicing concerns about emergency vehicle access on adjacent private roads. Additionally, the applicant and county staff clarified plans for street alignments, road naming, and the installation of privacy fencing to separate the new public roads from existing private lanes.

What was said
22:09 in that two foot zone, or if I just got it outright wrong on that, but the applicant may be better. No, I think you're right about the two foot buffer, but an actual physical barrier, I don't believe. It hasn't been required in the past in my experience, but you're right about the two foot buffer. So thank you, Mr. Jardine, appreciate the heads up. And that's a question for the applicant. And then my last question, oh, in exhibit one, it's the cross circulation plan that's secluded in exhibit one, it shows 23rd street on the north boundary of the site. That's no longer proposed. It's now on 22nd as a through street right along the north boundary.
23:03 And that's the cross circulation requirements are based on, the analysis by the applicant is based on that. This new plat moves 20, the through street, if you will, to 22nd street on the south boundary. Does it still meet the cross circulation requirements, block length and a perimeter? This is Hannah. Just Alex. And again, yes, they're, their new proposal would still meet our circulation requirement. Great. Thanks. Yep. Ms. Pot of Linda, what's your title? I didn't catch that. I'm the engineering manager with development. Thank you. I know we've, I've heard from you before. I just didn't, couldn't recall what your title was. Thank you. That's the only questions I have for staff at this point, Mr. Taylor, I understand you're representing the applicant.
24:02 All right. Good evening, Scott Taylor, SGA engineering. Thank you, Mr. Examiner for your introduction and going over the initial questions. I can answer a couple and clarify real quick and then you could go on with some additional questions for sure. I got to start the timer now for 20 minutes. All right. Thanks. Here we go. All right. So on 185th on the Western boundary, you know, keeping traffic away from the existing private road. So yes, the developers interested in installing a fence and it likely be, you know, six foot privacy fence, and that would be the barrier that would keep people from driving across to 185th private Avenue to the West. There's an existing fence line on the South side of the property that is, I think some
24:57 field fencing and then some chain link fencing and you know, those would be retained and, or improved, you know, like likely the field fence, they would remove that and put in some nice Cedar, you know, fencing on that South property line. And there is indeed a two foot space on perimeters of property. The way we understood it is it's an IBC requirement that for grading, you know, you're not supposed to change the grades or negatively affect neighbor's property and give a two foot sort of buffer or clear space. And so that's what's shown in our plans. There is a two foot space there to the edge of the new pavement. The goal would, you know, be build it that way and put the new fence right on the property line and be able to keep people off private property and just using the new public roads.
25:56 Traditional circulation that was covered and, you know, still meets the requirements with this new road alignment and there's no other road modifications requested with this project and intersection spacing is met, site distance will be met, you know, following construction. And I think this is a great project, you know, as far as circulation and access, it's challenging with all these private roads around and I know the neighbors have concerns with that. And so by adjusting this layout and having 22nd Street come into the site instead of 23rd Street, I think is a better design. You know, we'll have no parking fire lane signage throughout the development where it's not full width pavement, full width streets. And then in the event any neighbors do develop in the future, the public road system could be expanded on and dedications and, you know, access to their site via public roads and not the private roads.
26:52 So I think we've covered most of the concerns with the neighbors. And so we're meeting all the other county design requirements with this plan and not utilizing compact lots, you know, not going down to 3,000 square foot lots like a lot of new developments do. So I think it'll be a great addition, you know, to the neighborhood. It's definitely not one acre lots and large lot development, which that zoning doesn't really exist anymore with Clark County. You know, this will be great opportunities for new homeownership, but not necessarily tiny homes. So I will, I think, stop with that for the moment and then, yeah, what next questions can I answer for you? The traffic counts that were conducted in September of 2025, one of the neighbors said that the school was on strike during that period. Can you confirm whether it was or not? I'll have to look into that.
27:51 I know there was discussion with the traffic engineer and them wanting to make sure they got counts. You know, while school was in session, I think there was the ending of a strike happening and making sure that they started counted after they'd come back into school. But I can provide that in this one week open record. Okay. The 23rd Street, the private 23rd Street is north of the site. Does the easement for that extend onto this site or is it entirely on the adjacent properties to the north? I do not believe it does. From our research, the only easement that extended into this site was at the very southwest
