“Okay. Sounds good. Corey, just to follow that up, the source water protection plan, is that the one that's tied to the possibility of a water board, county water board, or are those two separate issues? No, that's a totally different separate issue.”

“Yes, Mr. Chair, I just had a quick question for the staff on this, just because I just want to make sure we've got our procedure down. So in the minutes last meeting, we had forwarded a recommendation to fulfill the board vacancy, and that item's come back up. Is it going to be a problem if we keep it in the minutes from last meeting, even though it's apparently been superseded?”

“Mr. Chair, I move to forward a recommendation for application DLP26-001 with the staff's funding recommendations and commissions to the Elko County Board of Commissioners.”

“Yeah, Corey, just to clarify that road issue, because the BLM road is marked here, but the easement would be even if the BLM decides to close that road, the property owner would still have a legal right of access? Is that where you're going?”

“Mr. Chair, I make a motion to approve the change of zoning C0Z26-006 with all the staff's findings, conditions, and recommendations.”

“Yeah, Corey, one question I had. Just thinking through, I think it was stated in the last item that this property had been recently acquired, and I'm assuming the neighboring properties to the west had pre-existed that acquisition, correct?”

“Okay. Thank you. I think there's also, if I may, Chair, as laudatory as the purpose is, I think with the existing right to farm and ranch code that was argued on behalf of the applicant, I did some digging on the nuisance thing, NRS 40-140. TO A WHICH CREATES AN AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION BUT I WANT TO READ IT BECAUSE IT FOLLOWS MY PREVIOUS QUESTION THAT AN AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITY CONDUCTED ON FARMLAND CONSISTENT WITH GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE AND ESTABLISHED BEFORE SURROUNDING NON AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IS REASONABLE. My argument there is that since, in this case, the agriculture did not precede…”

“Would we not think that the head limitation is also going to be tied to the type of animal? I mean, presumably cattle will need far more room than, say, goat.”

“So the conditions would basically be that the conditional use permit is not transferable or applicable to the loaner without a separate application.”

“Um, can Corey just, and I'm not sure there's a clear answer to this, but this tabling verse no action issue is sort of interesting. So tabling, of course, it'll keep coming back on the agenda. Um, but neither one is there, I guess what I'm asking is there a deadline for the fee that if the fee isn't completed within say a hundred or the process isn't completed within 180 days or something that the fee is rendered null and void.”

“Okay. Okay. And would that apply to the variance request 26-005 as well?”
Planning Commission · Jul 16, 2026
- Play at 1:06:35
“But if we table COZ 26-007, the change of zoning, pending further clarification, we could just table the variance request? Yes.”

“Wait a minute. For the R01, the setback's 10 feet, right?”
Planning Commission · Jul 16, 2026

“Okay, okay. If it's 20, it's a problem. If it's 10, it's already far enough away.”
Planning Commission · Jul 16, 2026

“Mr. Chair, I'll motion that we table application COZ 26-007 pending consultation with legal about an alternative approach.”
Planning Commission · Jul 16, 2026
- Play at 1:09:40
“Well, I think if it was alternative, if it's a CUP or an ordinance or whatnot.”

“I mean, would you like specific instructions?”

“I'll second with the comment that this would also, I think, allow us to potentially solve future problems like this as Elko County continues to grow. So, second.”

“Right, and I think there's, correct me if I'm wrong, this variance would not take effect until the final report of the right-of-way.”

“Right. And I'll point out for the record, I went through this when I applied for this position, because I also currently sit on the management commission for Elko County, and I think you can serve up the two. Okay.”

“I do need to address one thing, Mr. Chair, just because it was in the previous records. I had pointed out I had worked with Andrew Meek when he was at county in a volunteer capacity, but there's no conflict, but it is in the previous meetings minutes, so my belief that I can be impartial on this still stands.”

“Yes, Mr. Chair. I just... This is just something that seems to have come up quite a bit. I think I know where it's coming from, but I think it's just something we might need to keep an eye on. We've had about three or four CONTENTIOUS ISSUES BROUGHT BEFORE THE BOARD WHERE PEOPLE IN PUBLIC COMMENT ARE BRINGING UP THESE COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE FILED WITH THE COUNTY AND IT LOOKS IN MOST CASES LIKE IT'S ON NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES AND THEY'RE ASSUMING IT SORT OF CARRIES OVER. Just, I mean, I don't really know if there's a, I mean, there's not much we can do because it…”

“Well, if we have CCRs that limit, I'm just thinking in a case, you know, where there's a property that wants to use it and like we've seen in a couple cases where people are complaining they're using, you know, an HOA road that has CCRs and the neighboring property violates the CCR. Doesn't that sort of put us into a even if we can't enforce it?”
