The Commission again considered the petition of the property owners in the vicinity of the Elks Club Stadium and Lions Club Park complaining about the motorcycle races, due to the fact that the petitioners were not present at the time discussion was held earlier in the meeting. Mrs. Heidi Hammer, spokesman for the petitioners, stated that they were opposed to the early hours which interfere with peace and quiet of the neighborhood as well as the disturbance of day sleepers. The petitioners also stated that the motorcycles were traveling up and down North 5th Street causing a nuisance insofar as noise is concerned. The Commission advised these people that the City did have jurisdiction over the use of public property, such as the streets, but that the use of private property which in this case is owned by the Elks Club, is not under the control of the City. They were further advised that their recourse in this latter instance was to file a complaint against those causing the disturbance. The petitioners were assured that the Police Department would patrol the area to stop those motorcycles traveling on the public streets and creating a disturbance. Consideration was given to the application of Michael Brodkin to rezone Lots l4 and 15; Block 23, Wardie Addition, which is located at 631-33-33½' South 10th Street, from R-1 to R-4.

Planning Director Franklin Bills presented the map showing the proposed development of the Union Pacific Railroad Company property as an Industrial Tract. — From West Bonanza Road south approximately 1000 feet; from the Railroad tracks on the east to the proposed alignment of Highland Drive. The Planning Commission recommended approval of this tentative development plan, subject to the following conditions: 1. All sewers and streets be constructed by the Railroad Company. 2. That it is understood that the sewers, as designed are adequate for sanitary sewers, but not for industrial waste. 3. That all street construction be according to City of Las Vegas engineering standards and specifications. 4. That approval of this map does not necessarily commit the Planning Commission to later approve an extension of F Street to the proposed West Fremont Street extension, should a grade separation crossing be installed. The Board of Commissioners indicated that this plan would be considered at the time a tenta­tive map is prepared and submitted by the Railroad Company.
