Like I said before, Im not all that concerned about the negative complaints we hear about Front Sight concerning non training issues...by those that have not attended any training there. But its nice to see something positive in the media so Ill share it with you. This article was sent to me by a friend that I met at Front Sight that lives in Vegas.
For those of you that are thinking about posting negative crap here after reading this, why bother? No one who has been to FS for training anyone that wants to give it a try, listened previously or will listen now. If you think that Piazza is the anti-christ, then dont go! That way, there is more room for us that want to increase our skill level.
One last thing. For those of you that would like to go to FS and dont have a certificate...including those that have been before and would like to go again.....PM me. I may have some room for extra people at a special 4 day Defensive Handgun class March 26th through March 29th, 2010. I have no idea how many slots will be available, so I wouldnt mull it over too long........
County approves 15-year Front Sight pact

Nye County and Front Sight Management agreed to terms Tuesday on a 15-year development agreement for 2,066 time share condominium/townhouse units, 40 one acre home sites, a 400-room hotel, 279-space recreational vehicle park and commercial space.
Land consultant Dennis Bradley said afterwards there won't be ground broken overnight on the project. There are still a number of studies to be conducted on drainage and other matters, he said. But then the company has 15 years in the agreement.
Front Sight was originally conceived 10 years ago as a housing development of 177 one-acre home sites located around the firearms training facility. Over 400 students have been attending firearms classes in any given week.
The development agreement notes, "the time share units will provide members with an ownership and investment opportunity and the opportunity to stay on-site and vacation and/or train without traveling to Las Vegas for lodging."
The isolated 478-acre site, which is accessed by a four-mile, private road off the Tecopa Road, was annexed into Nye County when the county line moved two miles east in 2001 after the passage of state legislation. A report in the development agreement said a recent tour of the facility called into question whether Front Sight Management had been operating the facility with all the necessary permits from either Clark or Nye County. Front Sight agreed to seek the necessary building permits and complete any work necessary for the permit.
Front Sight Management maintains the site is surrounded by U.S. Bureau of Land Management property and there are no county improvements, infrastructure or utilities within several miles.
Language in the agreement states: "County hereby agrees that the proposed development will be entirely private and contain no public infrastructure improvements; therefore the county will have no on or off-site maintenance obligations."
Front Sight Management will maintain on-site improvements until a homeowners association takes control.
A 100-room hotel is planned in the first phase of construction for students attending firearms training classes and their families; additional phases will add on 300 more rooms.
The company outlined a construction phasing schedule with 32 to 52 time share units in each module. When 80 percent of the units in a module have been sold or leased, construction will begin on the next module.
A water storage tank, lift stations, sewer treatment plant and water wells will be built with the first module with a capacity to expand if needed. A traffic impact study may be required before each module is constructed.
Front Sight will be responsible for paying impact fees for street improvements. The company will only be subject to paying impact fees for parks to the town of Pahrump and the residential construction tax to the Nye County School District for the 40 one-acre lots, as they expect to house only short term guests and time share owners. Developers won't be required to set aisde land for a school site.
Front Sight will pay impact fees for the sheriff's department and fire service upon the issuance of a building permit for each residential and/or commercial unit.
The company will accept delivery of construction material within Nye County if at all possible, to generate county sales tax.
The development agreement can be reviewed every two years.
Nye County Commission Chairman Joni Eastley was told the remaining issues discussed last month were resolved. Language was stricken mentioning the proposed development isn't anticipate to create any additinal impact on the county's capital improvements. The agreement was tweaked concerning park impact fees, traffic studies, drainage improvements and code compliance issues.
Nye County Commissioner Butch Borasky asked whether Front Sight addressed issues on the property improvements and drainage issues. Planning Directtor Jack Lohman said the company is prepared to obtain building permits for the existing buildings.
