Residents urge commissioners to hold proposed six-lot subdivision, citing neighborhood fit

Russell C. Strand and Shirley Cstrand told the Clark County Commission they oppose allowing six lots on a 1.62-acre parcel currently zoned for a maximum of three lots, saying higher density would reduce property values and not fit the established neighborhood pattern.

"We feel that that putting 6 lots on that property is going to negatively impact the value of the properties in the neighborhood," Russell C. Strand said, showing photos and saying residents collected more than 70 petition signatures opposing the proposal. Shirley Cstrand added the change would "reduce our property values" and urged commissioners to follow neighborhood expectations.

Commissioners noted the item has been held multiple times; the chair confirmed item 56 will be held and read public requests that place multiple items on hold. Commissioner Stegerbloom (speaker S9) said he would support holding the item and acknowledged the residents' concerns. The board approved the agenda with item 56 held for later consideration.

Next steps: item 56 remains held and will be returned to a future zoning agenda; no formal approval was taken on the subdivision at this meeting.
