Pig farmer sees approved NLV housing plan as first of many.(news)
BYLINE: JULIET V. CASEYREVIEW-JOURNAL
The pigs on Robert Combs' farm stink, but not enough to deter developers from trying sell homes next door in North Las Vegas.
"There's so much growth and so many people wanting new homes, the city just can't refuse it," said Combs, lamenting the nearby growth that he has unsuccessfully battled, but admitting its inevitability.
City Council members last week unanimously approved a 343-home development on 70 acres across from RC Farms, on the northeast corner of North Fifth Street and El Campo Grande Avenue, about two miles north of Craig Road.
Councilwoman Shari Buck, whose ward surrounds the county island that contains the pig farm, said City Council members have long heard complaints about the farm and have tried to avoid putting homes in odor's way.
Changing winds on any given day blow the stench as far as five miles away. Buck, whose home is two miles southwest of the farm, said she can sometimes smell it.
"I know previous councils have gone with the wishes of the pig farmer and said, `We'll keep development away from you,' " Buck said. "But it's not fair to tell a landowner not to develop because the adjacent owner doesn't want him to."
