Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, February 17, 1954 to September 21, 1955, lvc000009-472

At this time the Board considered the application of Drs. J. H. Swartzfager, K. F. Smith, G. W. Tueller and Ralph Reed for a Use Permit to erect a one-story building to be used for medical offices on the west side of Rancho Road between Charleston Blvd. and Palomino Lane. The public hearing on this application was held by the Board of Commissioners on March 21, 1955 and taken under advisement at that time. Mrs. Cornelius Hurley appeared before the Board protesting the granting of this use permit for medical offices in a residential area. There was also placed on file the written protest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Teel, 2231 W. Charleston Blvd., requesting that this permit be denied for the same reasons set forth by Mrs. Hurley. Mr. Bruce Beckley appeared on behalf of Drs. Swartzfager, Smith, Tueller and Reed and requested that this permit be approved. Thereafter Commissioner Sharp moved that this use permit be approved as recommended by the Board of Adjustment on the legal description submitted, said description to be made a part of the record, due to the fact that the Commission has determined that this proposed construction is in the best interest of the public and further since only two protests were filed by property owners in the vicinity: That parcel of land lying in the SE¼ SE¼ Section 32, Township 20 South, Range 61 East, M.

Thereafter Commissioner Bunker moved that for and in consideration of $100,000.00 sewer rental fees advance by the Strip Hotels the Sahara, Thunderbird, Algiers, El Rancho and Riviera at the rate of $30,000.00 per year, which is approximately 50% more than changed similar enterprises in the City of Las Vegas, the City agrees to furnish sewage treatment until June 1, 1958; forfeiture of said balance to be to the City if said Hotels convert to County Sewer and may be terminated in six months' notice after January 1, 1957; that the agreement submitted be approved and the Mayor and Clerk authorized to sign same, upon the receipt of the aforementioned $100,000.00. Motion seconded by Commissioner Sharp and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp, Whipple and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. At this time the Clerk received a cashiers check in the amount of $100,000.00 and was instructed to find out from the Riviera Hotel whether they would elect to pay the sewer rental services for the second quarter of 1955 or have the same credited against the advance payment. Mayor Baker announced to the public that the aforementioned $100,000.00 is to be used to expand the sewage facilities within the City of Las Vegas so that the present treatment plant can handle approximately 3,000,000 additional gallons per day. At this time the Board considered the proposal of the Catholic Church for trade of property with the City. Mr. Larry Stecher and Father Donald Carmody appeared on behalf of the Church representing the Rt. Rev. Robert J. Dwyer, Bishop of Reno, Nevada. The Commission gave tentative approval to the proposed trade of land with the church which is located to the west of Marble Manor on West Washington Blvd. and is composed of approximately 9 acres for the City's Old "Dump Site" (approximately 4 acres), subject to the Church securing two additional parcels of property. At this time Commissioner Bunker left the meeting. Director of Public Works George E.
