*45,000 daily estimated car trips

20-30 years construction project in ultra fine dust (gypsum soils)

*Single highway only ingress/egress to Gypsum development; up to 8-12 deg in grade

*80,000 daily estimated car trips at the junction of development highway and SR 160 (Blue Diamond Highway). inner city numbers by comparison: Charleston & Durango have 87,000 car trips.

High potential for emergency accident/weather road closures on steep-graded only access road

Over 20,000 homes in Las Vegas Valley vacant/foreclosed etc.

Large-vehicle construction trucks on the Red Rock Canyon Scenic Byway.

Requested County assistance with BLM land-use permissions to save the developer millions in fees.

County not required to apply to BLM as stated by developer.

*Assumption that water to be supplied by LVV Water District as Las Vegas Valley suffers drought and low water supplies for existing homes/buildings.

*Assumption that sewer services to be supplied by Clark County Water Reclamation District.

Extreme population and density: Developer proposes 4,700 homes on 2 square miles of land. (Boulder City with similar population, is on 24 square miles.)

Water lines proposed to be pumped 1500 vertical feet up the cliff face.

Sewer lines proposed to descend 1500+ feet to Rhodes Ranch or Mountain’s Edge.

Rhodes Ranch and Mountain’s Edge sewer systems not pre-engineered to receive this amount of waste.

*20-30 year buildout plan

No more dark sky in Red Rock Canyon NCA.

No more natural sunset skyline from Las Vegas Valley, city on horizon instead.

Lines of headlights descending at dawn and rising at dusk.

Engine braking noise pollution through echoing canyon.

Leap-Frog’  real estate development miles away from nearest infrastructure.

Current unfinished projects across the Las Vegas valley, by this and other developers, point to the historic possibility of scarring Red Rock Canyon with a 6-lane highway blasted up the cliff to an incomplete, abandoned project.

Project currently not advancing on positive aspects, merits or suitability, but on legal settlements and threats of legal actions against Clark County Commission.
