Boos, Acting City Clerk, of the City of Las Vegas, County of Clark, State of Nevada, hereby certify the foregoing to be a full, true and correct copy of the Resolution accepting the deed attached hereto duly adopted at a regular meeting of the Board of Commissioners held on the 3rd day of December, 1958. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my official seal this 4th day of December, 1958. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. HOUSE MOVING The Commission considered the request of Robert P. Porter, owner, to move 5 motel units from j Outpost Motel the Outpost Motel, 1600 S. 5th St. to 1510 S. 2nd St. The Building and Safety Superintendent, Harold Larson, reported these buildings have been inspected and that they meet with current ! Approved code requirements. He further stated that the signatures of property owners within 300' had been obtained. As a matter of information he reported that the remaining 12 units of the Outpost Motel are to be relocated out in the County. Commissioner Fountain moved that the request of Robert P. Porter, owner, to move 5 motel units from the Outpost Motel, 1600 S. 5th St. to 1510 S. 2nd St. be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. SET-BACK REQUIREMENTS Madison B. Graves, Attorney, representing Mr. Robert Brooks, owner of the property at 1600 South 2nd between South 5th St., and Ira Marshak, Architect, appeared before the Board requesting that necessary Wyoming and Oakey ordinance change be made to eliminate designation of South 2nd Street as a major street consisting of 80' of right-of-way. Referred to Planning It is proposed to build a fine shopping center building on the property surrounded by South 5th Street, Oakey Boulevard, South 2nd Street and Wyoming Street. Normally in a commercially zoned lot, the owner may build his building completely within the entire lot area, with setbacks only where required for the future widening of through streets. In this instance South 5th Street is shown on the Proposed Master Plan of Highways and Streets, and the proposed building , is designed to meet that requirement, i. e. a 10' setback from the property line; however, the existing ordinance requires an 80' right-of-way on South 2nd Street, which is not a through street and is not so designated on the Proposed Master Plan. It is undesirable to place the building 15' back from the curb and 7½ back from the West property line (along South 2nd Street) as it would cause a loss of parking area at the front of the building and there would be no gain on South 2nd Street as there is no practical, need for a 15' sidewalk. Commissioner Sharp moved that this request be referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation on decreasing the setback line on South 2nd Street. Motion seconded by Commissioner Whipple and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. HOUSE MOVING The Commission considered the request of Mr. & Mrs. Thomas H. Petrie to move a house from Mr. & Mrs. Thomas H 302 Lewis to 1713 Elm Street. The Building and safety Division has inspected the house Petrie and report that it meets current code requirements. The Building and Safety Superintendent, Harold Larson, stated that there was also an accessory building 10' x 18' considered to be Approved moved as well as the house which is of substantial construction. At this point Mr. Larson showed snapshots of the buildings to the Board. Commissioner Fountain moved that the request of Mr. & Mrs. Thomas H. Petrie to move a house from 302 Lewis to 1713 Elm Street be approved. Motion seconded by Commissioner Bunker and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none.
