MR. KORKOSZ noted the applicant’s request to hold Items 13 through 17 to the 10/5/2006
Planning Commission meeting. He recommended the items be tabled.

ROBERT GROSBECK, 5820 South Pecos, appeared on behalf of the applicant and stated the
applicant was ready to proceed with these items. Because staff had not had the opportunity to
review the new site plan, MR. GROSBECK had agreed to hold the items.

COMMISSIONER STEINMAN asked for clarification on staff’s request to table Items 13
through 17. FLYNN FAGG, Planning and Development Department, replied that the additional
dedication requires modifications to the site plan. He also expressed concern with the number of
times these items have been held in abeyance.

MR. GROSBECK explained that one of the requests to hold the items was to allow a
neighborhood meeting be held, as suggested by staff, and he argued the applicant should not be
penalized for that. He also noted new conditions from the Department of Public Works and
stated he has not had the opportunity to review those proposed conditions with his client.

COMMISSIONER EVANS noted that there was good cause to grant the abeyance on Items 13
through 17 to the 10/5/2006 Planning Commission meeting.

MR. KORKOSZ recommended that Items 23 and 24 be tabled to give the applicant the
opportunity to work with their finance company.

Regarding Items 28 through 30, MR. KORKOSZ indicated that the applicant requested an
abeyance to the 10/19/2006 Planning Commission meeting to revise the application to meet the
City’s development standards.

MINUTES – Continued:
MR. KORKOSZ stated that the applicant requested to hold in abeyance Item 36 to the 10/5/2006
Planning Commission meeting. He did not support the abeyance request.

ATTORNEY STACIE TRUESDELL, 3773 Howard Hughes Parkway, asked that the
Commission grant the request for Item 36, as applicant had very recently retained her law firm
and was not ready to move forward at this time.

COMMISSIONER EVANS expressed his support for the abeyance request, but recommended
that the Commissioners and the applicant be prepared move forward at that time.

MR. KORKOSZ requested that Item 40 be held in abeyance to the 10/5/2006 Planning
Commission meeting.

CHAIRMAN TROWBRIDGE declared the Public Hearing open for Item 18 [ZON-14344], Item
19 [VAR-15323] and Item 20 [SDR-14353].

FLINN FAGG, Planning and Development, stated that the proposal is a multi-family project
surrounded by single family development with a request to decrease the setbacks. He
recommended denial.

SCOTT SEBRAW, 2756 North Green Valley Parkway, gave an overview of the proposal. He
noted the density had been reduced and the size of the units had been increased. Meeting the
Agenda Item No.: 18

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2006
Planning and Development Department
Item 18 – ZON-14344

MINUTES – Continued:
setback requirements would result in insufficient parking so the variance was requested. He
noted the two-story units would be adjacent to a two-story development.

COMMISSIONER EVANS referenced previous letters expressing concern about the project.
MR. SEBRAW was unable to confirm that neighbors in opposition had changed their opinion in
response to the proposal’s changes. He also explained that an entrance off of Clarkway Drive
was needed or a stacking issue would result.

MR. SEBRAW stated this proposal would add much needed affordable housing to the current
market and that the developer is reputable and owns multiple properties within the City. He
anticipated that the project should begin in three to six months and be completed in 12 months.

DAVE FIDDEL, Owner/Developer, displayed examples of his recently completed projects and
emphasized that this project will be professionally landscaped.

COMMISSIONER STEINMAN stated the proposed 10-foot wall gives the project a prison-like
appearance and that the trees on the interior would provide additional camouflage. He stated he
could only support the proposal with a six-foot wall.

MARGO WHEELER, Director of Planning and Development Department, explained an
application for a variance would be required to allow the 10-foot wall.

COMMISSIONER DAVENPORT expressed concern regarding the closeness of the proposed
buildings to adjacent properties on Clarkway Drive. MR. SEBRAW stated that there will be 10
feet between the Wooten's property and the subject site.

MR. SEBRAW explained to COMMISSIONER EVANS that the design choices were prudent
given the irregular shape of the site. Additionally, the current price of land and construction
dictates the density. He estimated that the units’ price range would be in the low $200,000s.

COMMISSIONER GOYNES stated the project is an attempt to overbuild the site.

CHAIRMAN TROWBRIDGE declared the Public Hearing closed for Item 18 [ZON-14344],

concern regarding the impact the proposed zoning will have on the adjacent residential
neighborhood. COMMISSIONER EVANS concurred.

MARGO WHEELER, Director of Planning and Development Department, stated that the
Professional Office zoning is very restrictive and is intended for transitional areas. She

services; the applicant would like to add check cashing services. She confirmed for the
Commissioners these services are charged on a percentage basis rather than a flat fee. Loan
services will not be offered. She concluded by noting that the two nearby financial institutions
do not offer check cashing services.

MARGO WHEELER, Director of Planning and Development Department, brought up that the
applicant indicated in their justification letter that the check cashing is on a deferred deposit
basis, which is a loan. SCOTT LOPEZ, Owner, spoke of the oversight and assured the
Commission that the business entails only wire and payroll check cashing services and not loans
of any sort. He apologized for his absence at the previous meeting due to surgery. He clarified
that the applicant is Dos Compadres, Inc. doing business as Mas Dinero Rapido and have no
affiliation with Cashbox II.

Due to an error in the application, COMMISSIONER DAVENPORT suggested that the
application be withdrawn and corrected. DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY BRYAN SCOTT
pointed out that a condition could be stipulated on the Special Use Permit restricting the
applicant to check cashing only. MS. WHEELER pointed out that the use is an accessory use for
check cashing only which does not need a Special Use Permit. She explained the error could be
handled administratively and would not need to be placed on the agenda for another meeting.
COMMISSIONER EVANS suggested staff meet with MR. LOPEZ to ensure the process is
handled appropriately.

MINUTES – Continued:
EDUARDO VERADA, General Contractor, 5407 Orinda Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89126
appeared on behalf of the applicant. He stated the proposal would be compatible with the area
despite the smallness of the lot.

At COMMISSIONER TRUESDELL'S request, MR. VERADA displayed elevations of the
project.

COMMISSIONER GOYNES observed the applicant created a hardship by attempting to build a
larger development on a small site. MR. VERADA responded that the project is only
landscaping deficient and that constructing smaller offices would not make economic sense.

COMMISSIONER EVANS expressed concern for the aesthetics of the project. MR. FAGG
confirmed that the applicant would have to reduce the size of the building to provide landscaping
along the eastern property line. MR. VERADA confirmed that the adjacent properties are
vacant.

COMMISSIONER STEINMAN noted that this proposal and any other development would
benefit this seemingly forgotten area. He stated that having a beautiful building with some
landscaping was far more important than meeting the landscaping requirements.

MARGO WHEELER, Director of Planning and Development Department, clarified that the
Condition 3 of Item 27 should reflect the revised site plan, date stamped August 28, 2006. MR.
VERADA concurred with all conditions.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2006
Planning and Development Department
Item 34 – VAR-15657

MINUTES – Continued:
IAN ROBINS stated the neighborhood association supported the proposal with the addition
beginning at 61 feet from the curb which was unacceptable because he would only have 24
square feet of working space. He pointed out that the rear property line borders Charleston
Boulevard’s commercial parking lots and that several neighboring residences have accessory
structures/rental units that are closer to the property lines than his.

MR. ROBINS told COMMISSIONER STEINMAN that the addition was intended to
accommodate his car restoration work and his tools. COMMISSIONER STEINMAN stated the
proposed addition is excessive and COMMISSIONER EVANS concurred.

COMMISSIONER EVANS confirmed that the applicant’s wife owns the adjacent property at
827 Park Paseo and clarified that some of the residents do not support the proposal. He observed
that MR. ROBINS was altering the historic nature of the neighborhood by almost tripling the
size of the structure. COMMISSIONER DAVENPORT confirmed that a protest letter was
received, but MR. ROBINS stated he was unaware of any opposition.

COMMISSIONER EVANS noted that neighbors were concerned with the property’s vacancy.
MR. ROBINS explained that he and his family do not currently reside in Nevada, but plan to live
in the subject property and rent the adjacent home.

COMMISSIONER GOYNES suggested MR. ROBINS become better acquainted with the
neighborhood, as it is very protective of the historic nature of the area.

COMMISSIONER STEINMAN suggested that the proposal might gain more support if the
requested setback was not decreasing from 15 feet to seven feet.

CHAIRMAN TROWBRIDGE declared the Public Hearing open.

FLINN FAGG, Planning and Development, stated the request is for a complete waiver of the
landscaping requirements along Westcliff Drive and a partial waiver of the required landscape
fingers within the parking lot. Staff did not support the request and recommended denial.

LENDALL MAINS, 3930 East Patrick Lane, appeared on behalf of the applicant and stated that
15 feet of landscaping would be added along Westcliff Drive. He pointed out the City trail that
runs along the north side of the property and that the parking requirements have been met. He
explained that the reason for the waiver request was related to the Nevada Department of
Transportation (NDOT) drainage facility. He stated the project would be developed in phases
and respectfully requested approval.

PATRICK KELLY, Twin Lakes Building Committee, stated his dissatisfaction with the
development process of the City’s trail on this site. CHAIRMAN TROWBRIDGE explained to
MR. KELLY that the agenda item was related to the proposed church and the Commission could
not take action on the trail issue.

MR. MAINS explained that the property had been purchased from the Bureau of Land
Management with requirements that gave NDOT right-of-way access to the eastern portion of
the property but a dedication was not done. BART ANDERSON, Public Works Department,
gave a brief history of the subject property. He stated Condition 20 addressed the trail issue but
was unaware of the letter mentioned by the applicant. He offered to work with the applicant to
address their concerns.

COMMISSIONER DUNNAM expressed concern that this site might be subject to adverse
condemnation. MR. ANDERSON explained that the City is building the trail with NDOT’S
permission regarding its location because it is part of the Summerlin Parkway and Rainbow
Boulevard interchange.

MR. MAINS explained to COMMISSIONER EVANS that the applicant did not want to place
landscaping fingers along the handicap parking area. A wider landscaped area has been
provided in the parking lot to provide additional shade.

MR. FAGG noted the displayed plans had not been submitted to staff and explained staff's
recommendation had been based on the previous site plan.
