Hawkins City Engineer George Wade City Clerk Shirley Ballinger Absent: Commissioner Reed Whipple City Attorney Howard W. Cannon This being the time heretofore set for the continuation of the public hearing on the application of Charles Ketcham for rezoning from R-1 to C-1 and R-4 of a portion of the NW¼ of the SE¼ of Section 29, T20S, R71E, MDB&M, generally described as that property on the east side of Tonopah Highway lying between Washington Avenue and Bonanza Road; and the application of the Carpenter's local #1780 for rezoning from R-1 to C-1 and C-2 of a portion of the NW¼ of the SE¼ of Section 29, T20S, R61E, MDB&M, generally described as that property on the west side of the Tonopah Highway, lying between Washington Avenue and Bonanza Road, being approximately five acres more or less, the matter was considered by the Board. His Honor asked for a report from Commissioner Sharp on the meeting held with the Planning Commission on June 4, 1954, concerning the policy to be followed on re­zoning, variance and use permit applications. Commissioner Sharp reported that it was the concensus of the Planning Commission and members of the City Commission present at the aforementioned meeting not to rezone any one of these areas, but to give the applicants a Use Permit for a specific length of time so that the project can go ahead if the applicants are acting in good faith. Commissioner Sharp further reported that a Use Permit would expire if the proposed projects are not started within a certain length of time and the property will then revert back to the original zoning. He also stated that Use Permits allowed conditions to be imposed by the Commis­sion which would be to the benefit of all concerned. Thereafter His Honor asked if there were any objections to the granting of a Use Permit to these two applicants. Mr. Carol Heers representing the Twin Lakes Subdivision appeared before the Board at this time and objected on the ground that in granting these Use Permits for commercial use in this area, there would not be sufficient support for two commercial zones. Mr. Heers was referring to a commercial zone previously granted by the Board of Commissioners in his subdivision. Commissioner Sharp moved that the applications of Charles Ketcham and the Carpenter's Local #1780 for rezoning as above mentioned, be denied. Motion seconded by Commissioner Jarrett and carried by the following vote: Commissioners Bunker, Jarrett, Sharp and His Honor voting aye; noes, none. Absent: Commissioner Whipple.
