Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

I'll turn my mic on that should help Comments by the general public. Pursuant to NRS 241, this time is devoted to comments by the general public, if any, and discussion of those comments. No action may be taken upon a matter raised under this item on the agenda until the matter itself has been specifically included on a successive agenda and identified to be an action item. Is there anyone that has anything they'd like to discuss that is not specifically on the agenda tonight? Okay, we're going to move on. Notice of the appeal process. Anyone agreed by an action of this Planning Commission may

Yeah, Mr. Chair, I just want to note that on page three, line 13, there's a Scrivener's error. I believe that's supposed to be withdrawn instead of with Ron. So 13. Yeah. Other than that, I have no comments.

All right. Anybody else have any questions on the minutes? Can I get a motion?

Mr. Chair, I motion to accept the Planning Commission meetings for Thursday, April 16th, 2026. Including the corrections. Oh, including the corrections. Thank you, Colleen.

Okay, we have a... A motion to approve April's meeting minutes. A motion by Commissioner Gaworski, and a second by Commissioner Rosch. All those in favor of the motion, please signify by saying aye.

Opposed, same sign. Abstentions? I'm in favor, motion carries. We have no preliminary hearings, so we're going to jump into public hearings. Our first hearing is application COZ26-003, Jimmy and Kelly Faulkner. Corey?

Jake, if you want to help. Really quick. Sorry, I'll need to abstain from this one, as I work for the City of Elko. The water department or the water fund pays for part of my salary.

conditions Okay any Commissioner questions of Cory Cory just a couple things to make sure I'm understanding You right, and I've I've got some more general questions But for the 400 feet to the well is that 400 feet to the wellhead or to the wellhead yes, okay? So it is the wellhead And I'm assuming there's no other municipal water supply in this area. I mean, it's outside the city.

And the one other question I'm sort of curious about is why this didn't come up in the applications, but it's because nobody was talking about domestic well, because there was no residential.

I'm just more worried about the, or more concerned about the background, because there was a series of rapid changes in a relatively short period.

Okay. So access to this is going to be through the light industrial on the frontage.

Okay. And then the subdivision, I'm sorry, go ahead.

So right now this is all one parcel? That's correct, yes. Okay. Then the condition to restrict further subdividing would be specific to the AR piece? That's correct, yes. And that means max one septic on that.

Okay. All right. Scott, you got anything else?

Yeah. I'm just thinking now, if we go to the northeast side of that property, are we running into any problem with septic systems on that end?

So Lance Street is not, that's not developed at this point, is what you're saying?

Is that developed? The encroachment's made it. The rows paved? Yeah, the encroachment's all paved.

Okay. All right, anything else, Bob? I don't think so. Any questions of... Thank you. Okay, thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to speak on this? Please come forward and sign in and state your name for us.

And I guess the issue with the well, the potential disadvantage of him drilling a well doesn't affect you as much as you're going to affect him.

Just a quick question. So there's a possibility of hooking up to the water, but there's not one for hooking up to the sanitary sewer, correct?

What kind of cost is incurred, you know, ballpark to hook up water to the city? I have an idea on wells. I don't know what it costs to.

Well, and then once they, so I'm assuming that that cost would fall on their shoulders to come out of the city main. What about once that is completed? Is there a place where? I know if you guys are working in front of my house in the city, then from my main out to the street is city, and from my box or meter out to my house is me. So at what point is he going to be responsible in the future for maintenance of that?

Okay. And that meter pit would be in front of his property, most likely?

Is there anyone else that would like to speak on this application? All right. I'm going to close public comment. Any commissioner comments and or a motion?

Let's see if I get this right. Mr. Chair, I move to approve the change in zoning from LI to AR for C0Z26-003 with all the staff's revised findings, recommendations, and conclusions.

Are your recommendations Yeah, they're including that that must hook to city water.

Yeah, that's what I remember revised Okay, but yeah with the addendum. Okay, I guess to be clear Although saying that I'm wondering if we need to get a final ruling on the quorum issue first just to have it on the record Okay, okay We have a

I also feel like we need to make sure we're clarifying what what we're asking of them for seconding.

Yeah, yeah I'll withdraw the motion and just be clear mr. Tebow.

I did say that so I'm not exactly clear than what Corey can you sure Condition again, okay?

Okay, so you want me to try again? Let's go again.

Mr. Chair, I move to approve change of zoning application C0Z26-003 from light industrial to AR and light industrial with all the staff's findings, conditions, and recommendations, including the addendum added this evening.

Okay, we have Mr. Gavorski with a motion to move forward with this, and a second from Commissioner Roche. We have one abstention, but we're gonna go ahead and vote. All those in favor of the motion at hand, please signify by saying aye.

Thank you. All right. Let's move on to application SUBM26-001 HQ5 LLC query.

I think there was some topography issues along there was one of the... Well, Jennings Way, when it's built out, is going to be a major collector.

I am sort of curious about the request for the North 5th Street to be done to the city of Elko Standards. Do you have any background on that?

OK. I mean, it makes sense on the Jennings way somewhat. They're proposed Jennings Way because that would be integrated into the city, but this one not, correct?

All right, is there anyone here that would like to speak on this application?

Mark, I have another question. Okay, go ahead. Are these considered county right-of-way roads for maintenance, or is this up to the subdivision to maintain the roads inside?

All right if there is No one that would like to speak on this let's move forward to a motion Yes

All right, I will make a motion to approve application SUBM26-001 with staff's recommendations, findings, and conditions, along with the addendum.

Oh, sorry. Oh, sorry. And forwarded to the County Commission.

All right. We have a motion to move this forward to county commissioners with all of staff's recommendations, conditions, and findings, including the addendum items. And a second from Commissioner Gaworski. Any discussion on the motion as presented? Okay, all those in favor of the motion at hand, please signify by saying aye.

Opposed, same sign. I'm in favor, motion carries. Application VAR 26-003, Raymond Schroeder. Corey?

Any questions or query? Anyone that would like to speak on this application? I'm just wondering why you went so small. You could have gone a little wider there and we could have given you a five foot setback. All right. We'll roll with 10, then, if that's the pleasure of the commissioners. We got a motion?

Mr. Chair, I move to accept the variance VAR 26-003 with staff's recommendations, findings, and conditions as presented.

All right, we have a motion from Commissioner Gaborski to approve this side yard setback reduction to 10 feet and a second from Commissioner Jefferson. Any further discussion on the motion? All those in favor of the motion, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed, same sign. I'm in favor. Motion carries. Staff update and commissioner comments. Corey, you got anything for us?

Was one of them sound during construction? I don't remember. Oh, yeah.

All right. Okay. Thank you. Anything from your commissioners?

Two things. I do have a question for Corey, but first I just want to say thank you to the commission for bearing with me on that disastrous Zoom call last meeting. I didn't realize the camera was on for the first 10 minutes or so. I apologize for you having to see me bump around trying to get stuff loaded up for me. The question I had from Corey is, you know, we had that couple meetings ago, that Thrane Church that was then withdrawn. But I'm hearing some more rumblings from that area. Have you heard anything that we might need to keep an eye on?

That's out of our hands at this point. Okay.

My concern is I didn't know if there was something else that was going to come back to us that we just needed to watch. So, you know, other than that.

Yeah. From what I'm hearing, there might be even bigger issues, but not for the Planning Commission. So, thank you.

You got anything, Naomi? Nope. Jake? You good? Okay. Comments by the general public pursuant to NRS 241. This time is devoted to comments by the general public. If any in discussion of those comments, no action may be. Upon a matter raised under this item on the agenda until the matter itself has been specifically included on a successive agenda and identified to be an action. We have nobody in the audience and I believe we've got nobody on Zoom.
