Nye County planners continue to negotiate a development agreement with Front Sight Management Inc. for 2,066 condominium units, a 400-room hotel, 279 recreational vehicle spaces, 40 one-acre home sites, a shopping area and clubhouse.

The home sites would provide custom-built homes for 40 Front Sight members while they participate in training classes. Time shares will provide the opportunity for members to stay on the site and train without traveling to Las Vegas for lodging.

County commissioners Tuesday tabled consideration of the development agreement until June 21 after the county's attorney on development agreements, Mark White, strongly recommended against approving the pact as proposed.

Front Sight consultant Dave Richards, of CivilWise Services, first presented the revised plan in February 2008. When the Front Sight development was conceived about 10 years ago, the proposal was to build 177 one-acre town sites around the firearms training institute off the Tecopa Turnoff, like a housing subdivision built around a golf course.

In February 2008 the Pahrump Regional Planning Commission approved a zoning change, converting 458 acres from open use to mixed use and 20 acres to general commercial.

But the development agreement continues to be put off. It was last scheduled for consideration in February.

The current draft calls for a 15-year agreement instead of one for five years.

It states no local or county parks are planned by the developer. Front Sight itself will be a resort with private recreation facilities.

The draft suggests Front Sight Management won't pay $150 per housing unit fees for sheriff's department services but will construct a small, on-site, emergency facility for the sheriff's and fire department.

Likewise a $200 per unit fee to the fire department is stricken from the agreement.

The developers also balk at setting aside 12 acres for schools. The original development agreement suggested in the alternative to donating land, Front Sight could contribute $500 per rooftop, purchase school transportation vehicles, donate water rights or even build a military academy for the school district.

"Front Sight development is a time-share destination resort and will not contribute any student population to the Nye County School District. Based on this, Front Sight is not offering any additional provisions to the school district," Front Sight attorney Douglas Malan said in the agreement.

The project will be constructed in modules of 30 to 48 timeshare units each, but the latest draft agreement eliminates a schedule calling for construction of the first module to begin this spring and the final units to be built by the fall of 2015. Construction of each module will begin when 80 percent of the units have been sold for the previous module.

The company wants to submit traffic studies with the site improvement plans, but not prior to approving the development agreement. Malan said all roads in the development will be private. Front Sight will be responsible for all public and private roadway costs. Performance bonds will be required for on-site and off-site improvements.

Front Sight will be given a credit for impact fees levied for streets in exchange for constructing traffic improvements.

Nye County may consider a special improvement district to develop the project.

"We are still negotiating the terms of an agreement. I think we're getting closer, but I don't think we'll be finished with this for another 30 days," Nye County Planning Director Jack Lohman said.

Malan, however, told commissioners they are "very, very close" to agreement with the county.

Lohman said the agreement has only been reviewed in a cursory manner. The county hasn't received White's final comments, he said.

"There are a lot of elements here that are new that Nye County has not had to deal with before. It takes a little bit of time, we appreciate that," Malan said.
