Spring Creek/Lamoille - Elko County

F) Encourage the Adoption of Architectural Restrictions along the Lamoille Highway
Corridor and within Individual Subdivisions.
1) Architectural Restrictions are desirable, therefore, the consensus of the Planning
Commission was that Architectural Restrictions should be encouraged using the following
vehicles:
a) Encourage Voluntary Deed Restrictions.
b) Encourage the formation of Individual Architectural Review Committees by
subdivision groups.
c) Review of Future Development during Re-zone, Conditional use or Variance
Process.
d) Encouragement during the Tentative and Final Subdivision Review.
1) Public Input process
2) The implementation of a "Scenic Corridor" was discussed to be part of the Master Plan.
Various methods were researched. The final consensus reached by the Planning Commission
was to abandon the "Scenic Corridor" concept. (Reviewed 2005/2012) Concept abandoned
for the following reasons:
a) Lack of available funding for the purchase of lands within the Corridor.
b) Existing development patterns included within the proposed Corridor.
c) Public opposition to the “Scenic Corridor” concept.
d) De-Valuation of the Private Property within the Proposed Corridor, resulting in a
"takings’ issue".
G) Provision allowing for the designation of Industrial zoning for the continued use of a
Cemetery in the Lamoille Area, in an area with an industrial zoning designation, specifically
restricted to Cemetery Use. (Reviewed and Revised 2005)
1) Goal: To Provide a location in the Lamoille area to be used specifically for a cemetery.
H) Acreage Restriction of Agricultural - Residential Designations adjacent to the Spring Creek
Subdivisions and Lamoille Area.
1) Goal: to restrict the minimum parcel size to be compatible with the existing development
patterns of parcels in the existing Spring Creek and other adjacent subdivisions.
a) This Provision would insure the continued type of development that has proven to
work within individual areas of the Spring Creek Subdivisions.
1) This restriction is limited to the terrain and soil limitations existing and
unique to each individual parcel.
2) This may not be conducive to each Parcel designated Agriculture-
Residential therefore the use of other Zoning such as Agricultural-Recreation
or Special Lands may be substituted.
2) The Goal is to encourage the type of rural environment now existing in the Lamoille area
through the use of Voluntary Deed Restrictions and or the above described method.
I) Encourage individual deed restrictions that would in some cases result in the form of the
Planned Cluster Housing Developments.
1)Goal: to allow for higher density of development and maintain the Open Space
environment that is now part of or now enjoyed by the Ranching Community.
