WOODWARD Okay. So it’s not physically on your property?
<br />MIRANDA: No.
<br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Mr. Rybar, would you raise your right hand, please, so I
<br />can swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission?
<br />RYBARD: I do.
<br />WATANABE: And would you then state your name and address for the record, please.
<br />RYBAR: Yes, sir. My name is Steven Rybar, R-y-b-a-r. My office address is 5370
<br />South Durango Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada. And I’m employed as the compliance officer and
<br />quality control director for CSA Claims Service of America.
<br />My comments will not be lengthy. From the review of the information, I gleaned that the
<br />applicant has requested issuance of a special permit over 32 months ago, it’s a conservative
<br />number. In review of the minutes of the August 05 Planning Commission meeting I observed
<br />that the statement was made that the property had rusty discarded equipment and was an eyesore.
<br />Again, this is 2005. What has changed since 32 months ago? The applicant is still requesting a
<br />special permit, this is a constant. The property is still not screened as we discussed; and I heard
<br />the issues discussed earlier as to the reasons. There is still trash, rusted equipment that has been
<br />partially rearranged on the property; however, essentially the property has not changed in its
<br />appearance. What has changed is pollution concerns have become alarming with obvious oil
<br />appearing stains on the property.And what appears to be discarded batteries as well as piles of
<br />bricks and rocks, which may be contaminated pollutants, are present on the property.
<br />Applicant’s property line fence currently intrudes into the 60-foot right-of-way and he has his
<br />horse trailer parked within that right-of-way. Casual observation of the applicant’s property as
<br />of midday yesterday provided all indicia of a junkyard.
<br />I will read and recite a few items from my notes that I observed as of yesterday less than 24
<br />hours ago: Rusted crane truck apparently abandoned, abandoned water trailer, 3 gravel trailers
<br />rusted with the appearance of being abandoned with little or no rubber on the tires and in some
<br />cases no tires on the wheels, scaffolding in random locations, approximately 5 tractors were
<br />present at that time. I observed an abandoned water truck, various piles of rock and gravel, two
<br />fork lifts and one crane in what appeared to be nonworking condition, i.e. no tires, rusted, looks
<br />like they were discarded. An abandoned case fork lift, and abandoned grader, piles of plastic
<br />pipe and debris, rusted water tanks, rusted small trailers, remnants, part of conex container in a
<br />rusted state, concrete pipes, rusted flat bed trailer, corrugated sheet iron strewn throughout,
<br />rusted caterpillar tractor, galvanized corral, gates and parts, logs of various sizes, plastic water
<br />tanks strewn throughout the property. Ten steel I beams in a rusted state, 15 to 20 sections of 15-
<br />inch pipe, various water hoses, trash piles of wire fence and wood, discarded stone and brick
<br />which could be, I’m not saying is, appears to be used in a refractory process, very well could be
<br />contaminated, could not be, but it is something that should be addressed. Telephone poles,
<br />various wood pallets strewn throughout.
