Roberts for a use permit to convert the front portion of an existing dwelling into a professional office at 210 South loth Street be and the same hereby is approved subject to the conditions set forth by the Board of Adjustment. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. The Commission considered the application of the Southern Nevada Power Company for a use permit to install an electric power substation on Lots 11 through 13 of Block 5, Clark's Las Vegas Townsite, situated on the east side of Main Street between Bridger and Lewis. This application was approved by the Board of Adjustment subject to compliance with the architectural sketches submitted and all known devices to reduce the safety hazards. His Honor asked if there were any objections to this Use Permit. Mr. William Singleton, representing William Elwell and Naomi Uptigrove appeared before the Board to protest the granting of this use permit. Mr. Singleton stated that they protested on the basis that the erection of this structure would have a detrimental affect on the area. Mr. Peter Kuvelis appeared on behalf of Mrs. Marie Kuvelis and protested this use permit. Mr. Kuvelis stated that they had owned the property at 319 South Main Street since 1936 and are planning to build a small hotel at this location. He stated that if a substation is constructed at this location, it will be almost impossible to rent rooms. Mr. Lloyd Payne, 4l5 South 3rd, and Mr. Glen Thurmon of 4l4 South 1st Street also appeared in protest. Thereafter Mr. V. Gray Bubler, representing the Southern Nevada Power Company appeared before the Board. He explained to the Commission that it was a necessity that a substation be constructed before summer to provide power for the Fremont Hotel at 2nd and Fremont. He presented letters from residents adjacent to the substation at Main and Garves indicating that this station in no way interfered with their radio and television interception. He stated that the Power Company had attempted to purchase property from the Union Pacific Railroad Company, but had been advised that there was no property available. At the hour of 9.20 P.M. the meeting recessed. The meeting reconvened at the hour of 9.35 P.M. with all members present as of the opening session. City Attorney Howard Cannon stated that this type of use is permitted in an M-1 zone and a use permit can be granted if the Board determines that such use is a public service and is necessary for the public convenience and welfare. Commissioner Whipple stated that he was in sympathy with the property owners, but this is a situation where an application is made for something permitted in an M-1 zone and no evidence has been submitted why the Board should not grant this use permit. He moved that the recommendation of the Board of Adjustment be accepted and the following resolution adopted: USE PERMIT U-8-56 Joseph G. Roberts USE PERMIT U-9-56 Southern Nevada Power Co.
