On May 21, 1948, at a special meeting, this Commission considered a tentative map and certain other phases in connection with the development of this proposed subdivision. The results of this meeting, which was held concurrently with a meeting of your Board, were discussed before you, prior to the transmittal of written recommendations. Subsequently, your Board made a commitment to approve this tentative map on the basis of said recommendations, pending receipt of written report thereon. The Planning Commission is now in receipt of a letter from Horace Shidler & Son, Inc., stating that they have been unable to consummate the transfer of property to effect the development, and therefore the same has been abandoned. This is for your information relative to your previous action in this respect. Respectfully yours, LAS VEGAS-CLARK COUNTY JOINT PLANNING COMM. C. G. Petrie /s City Engineer
