Marina West, the general manager of the Big Horn Water Agency, spoke in detail about the project. West said the Water District could serve this project, but three major questions must be answered first: How many water meters and what is the daily flow demand to the project? What’s the fire flow requirement? Lastly, what is your sewage disposal? Currently, the Water District does not have an answer from the Developers.
The proposed Landers Hotel project includes a restaurant, market, lodge, health lodge, laundry/engineering area, shade structures, and covered parking. The project site comprises two (2) parcels containing approximately 5.7 acres on the east side of Belfield Boulevard, approximately 900 feet north of Reche Road. The Planning Division has received a Minor Use Permit application.
Someone in the audience announced that the acreage was over 10 acres, but that has yet to be confirmed. West of West is the Architect, and Belfield Development LLC is the Project Developer.
President of the Association Roxanna Shamay said other concerns for this project include possible flooding, suitability, materials used in the plans, and which this project will attract.
Resident Ralph Megna, an amateur astronomer, suggested the County require a CCNR, a recorded document that clearly defines who can sell the property and for what purpose.
Lipsitz announced that the developers were not present at the meeting and that this was solely for the Community. He continued that this project was in the process of being permitted. If the Community wants to raise the project’s status to be controversial, residents should write to the County, contacting the Project Planner, Oliver Mujica, via email at [email protected] or (909) 387-4002.
Four individuals approved the development following a vote, while the remainder of the Community did not support it.
