Commission approves alternate‑compliance parcel map despite neighbors' objections about historic deed restriction
Summary
The board granted alternate compliance for a parcel map that would split one parcel into four; neighbors led by Marilyn Tipton said a 1976 deed contained a 99‑year no‑subdivision clause and expressed concern about future development and access; staff said appeals are available.
Elko County planning staff described a parcel map submitted by Summit Engineering on behalf of Venture Manufacturing LLC that would split a 54‑acre parcel into four lots and leave a 30‑foot access easement private rather than dedicating it to the county. Planner Corey told the board staff recommends alternate compliance and that the decision will be mailed to the nearest 30 owners with a 30‑day appeal window.
Neighbor Marilyn Tipton objected, saying the property was deeded in 1976 with a 99‑year clause forbidding subdivision and that the developer intends a much larger buildout. "It was, deeded in 1976 to Kenny Redenius from the Nevada Cattlemen's Association with a 99 year clause of no subdivision," Tipton said, urging the county to be cautious about allowing access through neighborhood roadways and stressing the lack of county maintenance on some private lanes.
Staff explained a parcel map can create up to four parcels and that a later subdivision would require a tentative subdivision map, improvement plans and possible development agreements subject to further board review; the board voted to approve the alternate compliance but staff noted an appeal period will follow the notice of approval.
