Project Summary

Provide a brief summary of the project that includes any pertinent background information to the road modification request(s).

Road Modification Request(s)

Identify the specific road modification request(s) and what code section the road modification request(s) deviates from. Provide quantitative reasoning for road modification request(s).

Approval Criteria

Specifically identify at least 1 of the 5 approval criteria in Clark County Code 40.550.010(C)(2) the road modification request(s) meets.

2.  Modifications to the standards contained in Clark County Code 40.350 may be granted when the applicant demonstrates at least one (1) of the following:

     a.  Topography, right-of-way, existing construction or physical conditions, or other geographic conditions make compliance with standards clearly impractical for the circumstances;

     b.  A minor change to a specification or standard is required to address a specific design or construction problem which, if not enacted, will result in an unusual hardship;

     c.  An alternative design is proposed which will provide a plan that is functionally equivalent or superior to the standards;

     d.  Application of the standards of Clark County Code 40.350 to the development would be grossly disproportional to the impacts created;

     e.  A change to a specification or standard is required to ensure consistency with existing features adjacent to or affected by the site where those existing features are not expected to change over time.

Example:
Road Modification Request #1
This request meets the approval criteria 2.c

Road Modification Request #2 
This request meets the approval criteria 2.e

Road Modification Justification(s)

Explain in detail how each road modification request meets the approval criteria selected. If applicable, identify any mitigating factors.

Supporting Maps/Documents

Include dimensioned maps that show code standard requirements as it relates to any deficiencies (i.e. sight distance, spacing, road width, environmental setbacks/constraints, etc.), and any other supporting evidence for the criteria selected.
