In addition to discussing Adele’s becoming a parking lot, the Carson City Planning Commission will also discuss the tentative subdivision map of Andersen Ranch at its upcoming meeting.
Due to the public interest in this item, it will be heard no earlier than 5:30 p.m. to allow for public comment. The meeting, however, begins at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 17 in the Sierra Room of the Community Center located at 851 E. William Street.
The applicant is proposing 203 residential lots with a minimum lot size of 4,407 square feet, according to the agenda. Vehicular access to the neighborhood will be found on Mountain Street, Ormsby Boulevard, West Sunset Way, North Richmond Avenue, Lexington Avenue, La Mirada Street, and Bolero Drive.
The plan also includes a multi-use path along the souther property line, and open space along the Mountain Street trailhead.
Any development of the Andersen Ranch property has been passionately debated by residents who would rather have the lot stay as open space.
The Andersen estate has attempted to sell the property for development before, to the ill-fated “vintage” project, and now, as a subdivision.
Recently, the property has become something of a public nuisance after a lack of cattle grazing caused the property to become overrun with tumbleweeds, which then were dislodged and littered around surrounding properties following seasonal wind storms.
Some conditions of approval stipulate that any lots not planned for immediate development shall be left undisturbed, and mass grading and clearing of natural vegetation will not be allowed.
Hours of construction will also be limited from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
It also stipulates that developers must include half-street improvements on North Ormsby Boulevard along the project frontage including striping, curb, gutter and paving to meet City standard, along with a five foot sidewalk on the Mountain Street frontage.
If the subdivision map is accepted by the Planning Commission, it will then go to the Board of Supervisors for final approval.
