Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Mr. Harry Claiborne appeared at this time on behalf of Messrs. Albert and David Mengarelli in their request to reopen the Log Cabin Bar at 122 North 1st Street which has been closed since April 11, 1956. The Commission questioned Mr. Albert Mengarelli as to who would be responsible for the opera­tion of this business in the event the suspension is lifted. Mr. Mengarelli advised the Board that he would be in complete charge if that was their desire and that his brother David would take care of the parking lots they own. Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved that the suspension of the tavern license for the Log Cabin Bar at 122 North 1st Street be lifted and this license issued to Albert Mengarelli, subject to this building being brought up to code. 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 Twin Lakes Shopping Center, Inc. to rezone all of that portion of the NW¼ of the SE¼ of Section 29-20-61 which lies east of the Tonopah Highway from R-1 to C-1. Planning Director Franklin Bills reported that this application had been approved by the Planning Commission, and the matter deferred from the City Commission meeting of September 19, 1956 to check on the fact that two parcels of land in this area proposed to be rezoned did not belong to the Twin Lakes Shopping Center. Mr. Bills stated that one of the parcels in question is owned by Mr. Phil Shanedling who is one of the principals in the Twin Lakes Shopping Center, and the other property is owned by M. M. Sweeney and John Pappas who have given written indication of their desire to have this property rezoned C-1. Mr. Louis Wiener, Jr. and Mr. Francis Wakley were present on behalf of the applicant and requested approval so that the proposed shopping center can proceed. The Commission questioned Messrs. Weiner and Wakley on whether or not the Twin Lakes Shopping Center actually intended to develop this project or whether they might sell the prop­erty to someone else in the event it is rezoned. The Commission was advised that Twil Lakes Shopping Center definitely intended to go ahead with the project as planned. The representatives of the applicant were further questioned concerning the installation of off-site improvements, and indicated they would be willing to enter into an agreement to install whatever the City required. Thereafter Commissioner Fountain moved this application for rezoning be approved subject to the applicant entering into an agreement for the installation of off-site improvements, filing of a bond, completion of the improvements within six months, and the developing of the pro­posed project according to a plan to be submitted and approved by the Board of Commissioners. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp and His Honor voting ay; noes, none. Commissioner Whipple passed his vote. Consideration was given to the application of Ray Smith for rezoning of property beginning at the NE corner of the NE¼ of the SW¼ of Sec. 33-20-61, running along the centerline of Section 33, southerly 1839.46', thence westerly 304.31', thence northerly 518.70', thence westerly 1015.88', thence northerly 660.61½', less 30', thence easterly 330.00', thence northerly 660.61½', thence easterly 992.15' to the true point of beginning from R-1 to M-1, which was denied by the Planning Commission. Commissioner Bunker moved the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted, and this application for rezoning denied. 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 recommendation of the Planning Commission to rezone Blocks C and D of the Beverly Green Tract from R-1 to R-4, which was an error when the Land Use Map was adopted December 7, 1953. Mr. Bills advised the Commission that the Planning Commission determined the properly is best suited for development as multiple family housing. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved the recommendation of the Planning Commission be accepted and Blocks C and D of Beverly Green Tract be rezoned from R-1 to R-4. Motion seconded by Commissioner Fountain and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Fountain, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the Commission considered the application of O. W.
