RV shows get nod from county

KINGMAN - The Mohave County supervisors approved a permit to hold two recreational vehicle shows at Davis Camp next winter.

La Mesa RV will hold the two RV sales shows at South Beach from Nov. 22 to Dec. 4 and from Feb. 13, 2008 to Feb. 26, 2008.

Bullhead City and Laughlin recreational vehicle dealerships previously opposed permits for the San Diego-based recreational vehicle dealership because of the economic impact to local RV dealers.

In 2005, the county supervisors enacted an ordinance to define the county's authority over its parks. After a ruling in Superior Court, the ordinance allows the Board the option to issue a permit for any commercial business to hold a sales event at the county parks.


In other action Monday:

- The Board directed staff to proceed with leasing a 19-acre site to one of three design-build firms to build a new county jail. The county land is located on a hill side to the southwest of the county's administration building. The three firms being evaluated are Mohave Correctional Development Partners of Sherman Oaks, Calif., FaulkerUSA of Austin, Texas and Garfield Traub Development of Greeley, Colo. The winning firm would build the jail then lease the facility back to the county for 15 years.

- The Board also directed staff to look at selling Arnold Plaza, which once housed several county departments, at a public auction. The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has offered $300,000 for the property to expand the existing nearby Catholic church.

- The Board also approved a new subdivision in the Fort Mojave area called Valley Springs Estates that would include 132 single-family residential lots on almost 39 acres along Joy Lane and just east of Highway 95.

- The Board approved a new subdivision in the Fort Mojave area called Sun Valley Estates that would include 50 single-family residential lots on more than 12 acres off Kodiak East and just east of Highway 95.

- The supervisors approved a change to the South Mohave Valley Area Plan for 10 residential lots on 2.42 acres in the Sunrise Vistas subdivision of Vanderslice Road and Camp Mohave Road. The Board also approved a request to rezone the parcel from special development, general commercial to single-family residential with 8,000-square foot minimum lot size.

- The supervisors approved a request to rezone a parcel off Highway 95 near Hammer Lane from agricultural residential, one-acre minimum lot size to general commercial, highway frontage. The applicant wants to develop the property, which is part of the Wal-Mart Super Center for a bank and a retail business.

- The supervisors also approved directing staff to form a commission representing all three supervisor districts to participate in the Arizona Centennial Celebration in 2012.

- Also approved was an upgrade to the sprinkler head system at the county jail in case of vandalism of sprinkler heads by inmates.

- The Board approved a contract between the county and the Arizona Department of Housing to provide $110,000 in grant funds to support housing for the disabled and the homeless between May and April 30, 2008.
