MTAB Approves Request From Terrible Herbst Developer

By VERNON ROBISON

Moapa Valley Progress

The Moapa Town Advisory Board (MTAB) approved a zoning request from the developer of a new Terrible Herbst convenience store and fuel station proposed for the Glendale area. The approval came during a meeting held Tuesday, Feb. 11.

Plans on the project were originally approved by the board back in November, 2018. Since that time, the developer has been working with County staff on the various details needed to get a permit to build on the spot, explained Jenny Knisley, an architect representing the developer at last week’s meeting.

The request before the board was for a waiver of development standards on a requirement for a detached sidewalk along the east side of Lewis Road.

“In the original plans the sidewalk was detached, which is the county standard there,” Knisley said.

She explained that the county code requires a five foot landscaped strip between the curb of the road and the sidewalk. Additional landscaping is then required on the other side of the sidewalk as well, Knisley said. All of these elements were built into the plans previously approved by the board.

“But then it was determined, as we were applying for our building permits, that Lewis Ranch Road is actually an NDOT right of way and not a county right of way,” Knisley said. “NDOT does NOT want landscape in their right of way. So that puts us here asking respectfully for a wiaver to allow the sidewalk to be attached to that stretch of road.”

Some discussion then ensued on whether this section of Lewis Road is actually NDOT right of way or not. After some back and forth on this subject, Knisley stated that the developer was ready to go either way with it. They just needed clear direction.
“This request is largely a formality,” she said.

Board members said that they were also fine with the plans either way. The board voted unanimously to approve the request to waive the standard in this case.
