At this time Mr. Robert E. Jones, member of this committee gave the report. Commissioner Moore moved the recommendations of the committee be written into the minutes and the committee thanked for the work they have done and dismissed. The report is as follows: Las Vegas, Nevada April 23, 1951 Honorable E. W. Gragin, Mayor and Members of the City Commission of the City of Las Vegas, Nevada Gentlemen: Your committee appointed to make recommendations concerning the zoning of property west of H Street Las Vegas, Nevada, hereby reports, and makes the following recommendations: I. That a 100 foot highway be constructed from a point where J Street intersects with the north city limits of the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, thence running southward through the middle of the Zaugg tract to Bonanza Road, This would necessitate a slight bend or deviation on the west end of the so-called Harper property# This step of the pro- posed new highway will be referred to hereinafter as Step No. 1. Step No. 1 of this highway is to contain a planting strip or parkway in the center thereof, which is to be planted with trees or shrubs of a suitable nature, or whatever the City Park Department might feel is appropriate. The right-of-way for this portion of the highway is to be obtained immediately, the City to designate sufficient personnel to make the necessary survey, draw up the proper deeds, and to solicit the necessary property owners to convey and dedicate this portion of the highway to the City; the City either to acquire this right-of-way within ninety (90) days or to proceed within ninety (90) days to acquire the same by condemnation. It is the concensus of opinion of the committee that most of this land could be obtained by voluntary conveyance from the various owners. Step No. 2 would consist of an extension southward of Step No. 1, the proposed highway to be extended from Bonanza Road to connect on to Shadow Lane, and in that manner to intersect with Charleston Boulevard at a point immediately east of the Clark County Hospital, this proposed portion of the highway to be known as Step No. 2, and the right-of-way to be obtained as soon as convenient, and graded by the City. Step No. 1 of the proposed highway would be graded immediately, as soon as the right-of-way could be obtained.
