Planning Director Bills stated a petition had recently been submitted by National Dollar Stores for the annexation of an area which has been enlarged to include 123 acres and which is located south of San Francisco Avenue, west of the Union Pacific Railroad, east of the last recent annexation, and east of the established line of the Interstate Freeway in this location; that 15 property owners were included in this area and at one time there were objections from some of them, but at present there were no protests. Mr. Bills advised it was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that this annexation be approved, as the Planning Commission was satisfied the City could furnish services to this area in better fashion than could be accomplished by any other method. Mr. Bills stated out of the 15 property owners concerned, 9 had indicated approval and the other 6 owned small individual lots within this area and had not been heard from; however, at the present time, there was not a single protest. It was the recommendation of the Planning Commission that the City adopt a resolution of intention to annex this area. Commissioner Fountain inquired if the 9 property owners who had indicated approval of the annexation represented 95% of the property owners, to which Mr. Bills replied in the affirmative. Commissioner Sharp moved the following resolution be adopted and that a certified copy thereof be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners: A RESOLUTION INDICATING THE INTENTION OF THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS TO ANNEX PROPERTY PRESENTLY INCLUDED WITHIN THE UNINCORPORATED TOWN OF WINCHESTER, AND NOTIFYING THE BOARD OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF CLARK COUNTY, NEVADA OF THIS INTENTION WHEREAS, an investigation has been made into possible annexation to the City of Las Vegas of certain areas in the unincorporated town of Winchester in Clark County, Nevada, and WHEREAS, a majority of the property owners, as well as the owners of an overwhelming majority of the taxable property of said area, which consists of more than 60 acres, have indicated desire for annexation to the City of Las Vegas, and WHEREAS, the City Planning Commission of the City of Las Vegas has recommended the annexation of the hereinafter described property to the City of Las Vegas, and WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners feels that said area may be annexed and that said annexation will be in the public interest, and WHEREAS, Ordinance 97 of the County of Clark provides that prior to circulating a petition to annex, 60 days' notice of intention to annex must be given to the Board of County Commissioners, and 1-20-60
