D. Baker Commissioner Wendell Bunker Commissioner Harris P. Sharp Commissioner Reed Whipple City Attorney Howard W. Cannon City Manager A. H. Kennedy Adm. Assistant Robert F. Boos Planning Director Franklin J. Bills Works Engineer V. B. Uehling Field Engineer Kenneth Hansen City Clerk Shirley Lodwick Absent: Commissioner E. W. Fountain The Commission considered the application of Palm Mortuary doing bus­iness as Desert Lawn, Inc. for a use permit to erect a mausoleum at the rear of Palm Mortuary, 1325 North Main Street, in a C-2 zone. Planning Director Bills advised that the Board of Adjustment had held a public hearing on this application and there were no objections. He stated that the original plan was to require an alley dedication and improvement behind this property, but that was waived and not made one of the conditions of approval. City Attorney Cannon advised the Board that there were two points to consider: 1) Is the installation of a mausoleum incidental to the operation of a mortuary? If not, it could not be per­mitted in a C-2 zone. 2) The Commission will have to take action to designate this area as a burial ground, so that such use will be permitted, or the written consent of the City Manager given with approval of a majority vote of the Board of Commissioners as required by Chapter 8 of the Code. Mayor Baker announced there is a written protest to this use permit received from Ray Wherritt who owns property adjacent to Palm Mortuary. His Honor asked if there were any objections to the granting of this use permit, and the following persons appeared: Mr. Harold Toll Mr. John S. Cocagne - written objection presented by Mr. Toll Mr. Howard W. Cannon Mr. William Morse, attorney for Palm Mortuary appeared at this time and requested favorable action on this application. Discussion followed. The Mayor announced that this was the time set for a public meeting on exchange of property with the School District, and the matter was continued until later in the meeting. This being the time heretofore set for a public meeting on the proposed exchange of property between the City of Las Vegas and the Clark County School District, Mayor Baker explained that this property to be granted by the School is adjacent to the John C. Fremont School. In exchange USE PERMIT - U-16-57 Palm Mortuary EXCHANGE OF PROPERTY Clark Co. School District
