W. Fountain Commissioner Harris P. Sharp City Attorney Howard W. Cannon City Manager A. H. Kennedy Adm. Assistant Robert F. Boos City Engineer George E. Wade Planning Director Franklin J. Bills City Clerk Shirley Ballinger Absent: Mayor C. D. Baker At this time the Commission considered the application of Cal & Majorie Henry to construct a church at Adams Avenue between J and M Streets. This application had been denied by the Board of Zoning Adjustment because the property was insufficient to meet the require­ments of an R-E zone. Director of Planning Franklin Bills further stated that incomplete plans for the proposed project were the only ones received by the City. Mr. Cal Henry appeared and advised the Commission that he had the plans. Discussion followed. The Commission advised Mr. Henry they would have to deny this application since the land area was too small. Thereafter Mr. Henry announced that the owner of property adjacent to this had offered to sell the church a piece of property equal in size, being 73 feet by 140 feet. Commissioner Bunker moved the application of Cal and Marjorie Henry to construct a church at Adams Avenue between J and M Street be approved subject to acquisition of additional property of the same size contiguous to the property and the posting of a bond and signing of an agreement for the installation of off-site improvements, and the submission of a plot plan to the Planning Department showing the location of the church; further the City Clerk be instructed to draft the standard resolution of approval, which is here­by adopted.

Commissioner Sharp reported that the Planning Commission, pursuant to the request of the Las Vegas Realty Board, had decided to hold meetings on rezoning applications every two months instead of every four months. The tentative map of the Hollydale Tract previously presented to the Commission and denied on October 3, 1956 due to the fact there were two half streets, was again considered. Director of Planning Bills stated that the map had been worked over with the subdivider, Engineering Department and FHA. He explained that the land on the east of this tract is undeveloped, while the land on the west side is partially developed. He advised the Commission that the half street on the east side of the tract would be paved to a width of 35 feet, and the street on the west side of the tract was already improved by pavement. City Engineer Wade indicated there was a drainage problem, but that it could be worked out. Commissioner Sharp moved the tentative map of Hollydale Tract be approved subject to the receipt of a letter from the School District, and the map as submitted to the Commission be filed with the Clerk.
