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.
