The Mesquite Technical Review Meeting held on July 15, 2025, focused on significant concerns regarding a proposed housing development near Stonehaven Estates. Residents voiced their apprehensions about the project's density and its potential impact on local traffic and infrastructure.

Tom Bender, a resident of Stonehaven, raised concerns about the proposed housing density of 3.78 units per acre, which he argued is considerably higher than previous plans. He urged the council to revert to the original density of 301 units, citing the need for a more manageable development. Bender noted that the developers are likely to request a delay in the decision for another month as they negotiate density issues with the Planned Unit Development Homeowners Association (PUDHOA).

Nancy Seck, another Stonehaven resident, echoed Bender's concerns, particularly regarding traffic implications. She highlighted an estimate of 3,400 car trips per day associated with the development, raising alarms about the strain on local roads, which currently accommodate only two lanes. Seck emphasized the need for careful consideration of traffic flow and safety, especially during peak hours.

Jim Hawgood inquired about the design of the homes, questioning whether they would be single or two-story structures. The response indicated that the development would adhere to existing design standards, but specific details were not yet available.

Mickey Hooky also expressed concerns about traffic safety at a nearby intersection, which is already problematic. He urged the council to consider the increased traffic from the new development and the existing issues at the intersection of Mesquite Heights and Canyon Crest.

In addition to the housing development discussions, the meeting briefly touched on a separate issue regarding pest control ethics involving the mayor. The mayor announced plans to submit the matter to the Nevada Ethics Commission for review.

Overall, the meeting underscored the community's apprehensions about the proposed development's density and its potential impact on traffic and safety, with residents advocating for a more cautious approach to urban planning in Mesquite. The council is expected to revisit these issues in the coming month as discussions with the developers continue.
