Mesilla trustees approve subdivision, pergolas and parking access; OK two TPF grant applications
Summary
The Mesilla Board of Trustees approved a subdivision at 2750 Old Farm Road, pergolas at 2310 Avenida de Mesilla, entry/exit work at 2410 Calle de San Albino, and unanimously approved two Transportation Project Fund (TPF) applications with match-waiver requests for Paisano Road and Calle del Sur.
The Mesilla Board of Trustees approved multiple land-use requests and authorized two Transportation Project Fund applications during its March 24, 2025 regular meeting.
Trustees voted 3–1 to approve PZHAC Case #061956, a request from Enrique and Melanie Vigil to subdivide their recently rezoned 3-acre property at 2750 Old Farm Road into three one‑acre parcels. Edward Salazar, Economic & Community Development Director, summarized the case. The motion to approve was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Adrianna Merrick and seconded by Trustee Gerard Nevarez. Trustee Stephanie Johnson‑Burick cast the sole opposing vote; Mayor Russell Hernandez, Trustee Biviana Cadena and Trustee Nevarez voted in favor.
The board unanimously approved PZHAC Case #061964, allowing pergolas at 2310 Avenida de Mesilla, with conditions described by staff. The motion was moved by Mayor Pro Tem Merrick and seconded by Trustee Nevarez.
The trustees also approved PZHAC Case #061965, a proposal from MCBE Partners Ltd. (applicant Tom Hutchinson) to construct entry and exit access between La Posta and the La Posta parking lot. The motion, moved by Trustee Nevarez and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Merrick, passed 3–1; Trustee Johnson‑Burick voted no. (Note: the meeting minutes’ motion text appears to mislabel this item once as #061964; the agenda and case listing identify the item as PZHAC Case #061965, and the board approved the agenda-listed item.)
On transportation funding, Mayor Russell Hernandez presented two resolutions seeking 2026 Transportation Project Fund (TPF) grants with match‑waiver requests. Resolution 2025‑23 would apply for funding for Paisano Road reconstruction; Resolution 2025‑24 would fund planning and design to widen and improve Calle del Sur. Both resolutions were approved unanimously.
The consent agenda, approved earlier in the meeting, included minutes for March 10 and March 14, 2025, and two purchase orders: Code 3 Service (Marshal Department equipment) for $53,491.77 and Nova Builders (plaza planter renovation) for $6,152.58.
The board concluded the meeting after departmental updates and public input. No formal appeals or requests for rehearing were recorded in the minutes; next procedural steps for the approved land-use items will follow standard permitting and staff processing.
