Commission approves detached garage setback waiver in Lone Mountain after applicant cites high utility relocation costs
Summary
A waiver to reduce setbacks for a detached garage in Lone Mountain was approved; the applicant said relocating an NV Energy line to meet setbacks would cost about $20,000.
The planning commission approved a waiver of development standards to reduce setback requirements for a proposed detached garage on an RS-20 lot in Lone Mountain.
Applicant Daryl Lane described his request and told commissioners that moving an existing NV Energy power line underground would cost roughly $20,000, creating a practical constraint on placing the garage farther back on the lot: "I got a quote, and it's upwards of $20,000 that it's my wife and I..." Lane said. Commissioners reviewed the site photos, found no traffic-safety obstruction from the proposed placement and approved WS260307 as presented.
The action is final unless appealed to the Board of County Commissioners under the county’s appeal procedures referenced by staff.
