In a recent government meeting, the board addressed case 2024-72, which has been postponed multiple times due to the need for a traffic study and feedback from the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). NDOT was unable to attend the meeting, prompting concerns from board members about proceeding without their input.

Councilman Doyle expressed his regrets for not being present and highlighted the importance of NDOT's feedback, which had identified several serious deficiencies in the applicant's traffic study. These included issues such as the timing of traffic counts during a school break and the methodology used, which NDOT deemed unacceptable. The councilman urged the board to defer any decision until these concerns were adequately addressed.

The appellant's representative countered that they had complied with all requests and that the traffic study was conducted at the board's request. They argued that the proposed development would only generate a minimal amount of traffic, with a maximum of 12 vehicles at a time on a 26-acre property.

Despite the appellant's assurances, board members expressed discomfort moving forward without NDOT's presence. A motion was made to defer the case until the next meeting, allowing time for NDOT to provide their input and for the applicant to address the identified issues. The motion passed, and the case is now scheduled for discussion on August 15th at the Sunny West Auditorium.

This decision reflects the board's commitment to ensuring community safety and thorough review processes before approving developments that could impact local traffic conditions.
