Las Vegas City Commission Minutes, November 20, 1957 to December 2, 1959, lvc000011-627

His Honor Mayor Gragson stated, that since the rezoning had been granted and the vacation of these streets was not going to further affect their properties in any way, he felt that the City Commission should approve the vacation, as recommended by the Planning Department and the Planning Commission. Commissioner Whipple stated he felt there had been a misunderstanding by these property owners in regard to the rezoning; however, the vacation was the matter presently before them, and he asked if they were protesting the vacation of these streets, inasmuch as the rezoning had been accomplished. Mrs. Grigor said she understood the vacation of the streets, but did not know how it would affect the value of their properties and living conditions, and she further mentioned the debris they had had to clean up in the past few weeks. Mr. Peccole advised her that they had set up a parking agreement in leases to their tenants whereby the landlord would be responsible for the lighting, landscaping and marking of the parking stalls, as well as for the cleaning of the parking areas. Mrs. Grigor stated she was referring to the debris they had picked up so far. Mr. Peccole said he would speak to the contractors, in an effort to curtail this as much as possible, and he felt confident when the buildings were completed they would find this to be a very orderly project. Commissioner Fountain was of the opinion that the C-1 zoning would put these property owners in a much better financial position. Planning Director Bills stated everyone on the Planning Commission and in the Planning Department had been aware of these four properties from the start of this shopping center and, if this discussion had come up at their previous hearing, these problems would have been given very careful consideration. He believed Mrs. Grigor had something mixed up somewhere as no notices of a public hearing on October 12, 1959, were sent out. He added there were 75 to 100 notices sent out for the hearing on November 12, 1959, and that they had never been required to send them out by Registered Mail; furthermore, out of this number sent there were only four returned, none of which were the ones sent to these property owners. Commissioner Fountain moved Vacation VAC-5-59 be approved, subject to the six conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission, and the following Order of Vacation be adopted and copy of order filed with the County Recorder of Clark County: ORDER OF VACATION A Petition, dated the 4th day of September, 1959, signed by the officers of Charleston Plaza, Inc., having been filed with the Clerk of this Board, petitioning for the vacation of a portion of Charleston Village Tract #1, hereinafter described, and said petition having been by order of this Board referred to the City Planning Commission having filed its report, dated October 8, 1959, and with this Board approving and recommending such vacation; And this Board, by an order made at its regular meeting held on the 23 day of October, 1959, set the 2nd day of December, 1959, at the hour of 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers of the City Hall, 400 Stewart Street, in the City of Las Vegas, Clark County, Nevada, as the time and place for a public hearing on said petition and recommendation, and ordered the City Clerk to cause the aforesaid property proposed to be vacated to be posted with a notice setting forth the time and place of the public hearing and the extent of the proposed vacation: And it appearing from the affidavit of Fred H.
