The board accepted donated artwork of turquoise tiles laid onto a copper plate in the shape of Mohave County, recognizing contributions from Origin Mining Co. for the copper; Kingman Turquoise Mining Co. and Colbaugh Processing for the turquoise; artist Gregg Arnold and Antares Art Gallery for cutting and polishing the copper and mounting the turquoise; Stutler Cabinets for barn wood mounting; and Chris Auto Body for clear coat. The artwork is displayed in the lobby of the County Administration Building. From the left are Mohave County Supervisors Hildy Angius, Gary Watson, Steve Moss and Jean Bishop.

KINGMAN – The applicant for rezoning a 5-acre parcel in the Dolan Springs area and amending the Mohave County General Plan withdrew the items from the Board of Supervisors’ agenda Monday to work on a drainage problem.

The board was expected to deny the rezoning from agricultural-residential 5-acre minimum lot size to A-R 1-acre minimum to allow for residential parcels on Mabel Drive, between Eighth and Ninth streets.

The Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended denial by a 7-1 vote. Planning and Zoning manager Christine Ballard said the land is “encumbered” by a flood plain.

Planning and Zoning wants additional drainage work performed to address flood issues associated with the Detrital Wash, said Kathleen Tackett-Hicks, who represents the land owner on behalf of KTH Consulting.

“It’s susceptible to flooding,” she said. “We have to determine where the flood level lies for lots that can be built upon.”

Tackett-Hicks said it will take at least a couple of months to gather data on the flood plain and address necessary engineering work, which will define the issue of which lands are affected.

“It’s a bummer for the owner, but in the end, it will be defining,” she said of the study.

Supervisor Jean Bishop said Mohave County will spend $2 million in the next couple of years improving infrastructure in Dolan Springs, including expanding Pierce Ferry Road to three lanes. She feels the area is poised for growth as a gateway to Grand Canyon West.

In other action at Monday’s regular meeting:

...

• The board unanimously approved sending a letter to Arizona’s congressional delegation thanking them for blocking the proposed 1.7 million-acre Grand Canyon Watershed National Monument.

3 lanes? Insane.

Imagine the accidents. Demented seniors, drunk and drugged residents and tourists from who knows where -- the County better budget for another coroner.

Dolan Springs needs a BYPASS! Already there is way too much traffic, we have so many accidents on Pierce Ferry, so many cows die -- note the ABSENCE of any mention of cows. Pierce Ferry is VERY expensive to fence off because there are so many cross road requiring cattle guards. It would probably be cheaper to fence the whole town. But why bother? A bypass makes A LOT more sense!

Most Dolanites HATE tourists with a passion and they LOVE their cows.

Of course the businesses wouldn't appreciate a bypass, but lives are more important then money.

Ms. Bishop "feels the area is poised for growth as a gateway to Grand Canyon West." And she's doing everything she can to get that growth as fast as possible.

Ms. Bishop doesn't care that:

thousands of Joshua Trees will be massacred (some are hundreds of years old!)
the ecosystem will be destroyed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitat_destruction
our aquifers will be drained
farmers will pollute our air and water with toxic pesticides and herbicides
the residents' quality of life will decline

Ms Bishop, why don't you develop 93 instead?

Note the picture of the donated "artwork" from the mines. As so often, this picture is worth a thousand words.

"The board unanimously approved sending a letter to Arizona’s congressional delegation thanking them for blocking the proposed 1.7 million-acre Grand Canyon Watershed National Monument."

The BOS supports death and destruction over BEAUTY and PRESERVATION.
