2-RENO EVENING GAZETTE, MARCH 16, 1966 Bid Planners Recommend Denial of Huffaker Zoning And a letter from attorney Dyer Jensen, representing three properly owners was read for the record. In rebuttal, McKissick said if the policy of rejecting zoning changes were followed, "we'd be living in teiees." This remark brought boos from the large group of protesters in the audience. McKissick said his group's plan was not "hasty," adding "you couldn't coerce Smith to put his name on a plan he didn't endorse." He also said he had conferred with Glenn Hare and Procter Hug Sr. of the Vahoe County School District, who indicated they would take "acreage we can make available." end street, and noted a 900-foot cul-de-sac. NO SCHOOL He also said no school was provided for, extension sewer fees would be inadequate, and added ihere are 60 square miles in the Truikee Meadows available for development.

"At best." Swobe concluded, "This is a haty. poor plan which would produce high density subdivision foreign to tbfl surrounding area. "At worst, the plan could fail, and a partially developed subdivision could be an eyesore the other residents would have to live with." ANo speakinz azainst the proposal were Dr. Gilbert Lenz and Graham Erskine. At McKissick's invitation, realtor Walter Dixon stated from the audience he owns property in the area and plans to submit a proposal for one-acre parcels in the future.

Speaking in favor of the Coronet request were A. C. Swall, who said he represented a group of business people from the south city limits to Huffaker Lane, and John Burns, secretary of the Northern Nevada Trades Council, representing 17 unions and 5.000 members. Attorney Coe Swobe speaking for the opposition, presented a petition with signatures, then reviewed the proceedings. "Coronet's first plan called for 150 units in ISO acres," Swobe said.

"The second plan, presented three days later, asked IS 1 units on 180 acres. The third plan, pi-esented two days after the second, was designed by Raymond M. Smith, and showed little change. "The fourth plan, presented the next day, asked 192 units on 169 acres. "The units increased from 150 to 192," Swobe continued.

"Each plan look less time to prepare and increased the density. The fourth plan was conceived in less than 24 hours. "This is poor planning. Smith was hired, but I wonder how much freedom they gave him." Swobe said the lat plan look the clubhouse off a main access street and placed it fin a dead sidered all safety factors for golfers and residents. Attorney George Lohse, Coronet's corporation counsel, cited a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision of September, 1965, "under somewhat similar circumstances, which said commissions can infringe on personal property rights.

"In the subject community," Lohse said, "sixty per cent of the population lived in twenty per cent of the area. "The court said many residents want to keep an area as it is, but the desires do rise to the level of public welfare. "Within the concept of proper planning and zoning. Coronet has met its responsibilities," Lohse concluded. the third time.

Previously, it had been denied and tabled. Attorney Howard McKissick speaking for Coronet, noted the need for additional assessed valuation and said the applicants had redessigned the golf course, established a main arterial street design and town houses, and eliminated R-l (single family) lots in favor of E-l (first estates lots in the $7-milion development. Golf course designer Bert Stamps said the proposed par-71 course now totalled 6.500 yards with the clubhouse adjacent to the 1st, 9th, 10th and 18th holes.

Coronet Homes, the prospective developer, asked the acreage, located on the west side of U.S.

Coronet president Emmet Harvey said today, "We're meeting with our attorneys and taking the matter into consideration." He did not reveal his future plans. The proposed change was heard by the commission for The Prosecution Had a Roman Holiday' Graves Conviction Nullification Sought Holiday Lodge Case Heard In Reno Court OThe Rundown On Commission Zoning Views A complicated legal case over the Holiday Lodge on U.S. 40 was shot through the neck at a Reno intersection. Claiborne also objected to Feutsch being allowed to te tify in court while lying on a stretcher with hospital attendants and apparatus at his side.

A decision of the supreme court was expected in about two weeks. "In my opinion, Jude (John) Barrett intended this man to be convicted of attempted murder and he was." Claiborne objected primarily to introduction into evidence that the victim, teenager Joseph Feutsch. would be paralyzed from the neck down for the rest of his life from the incident. The Nevada Supreme Court was asked today to nullify the attemtped murder conviction of Kenneth Graves of Reno in a case his attorney called "steeped in prejudice." "The prosecution in this case had a Roman holiday with the rights of Graves." attorney Harry Claiborne of Las Vegas told the high court. Claiborne also said Judge Barrett violated the law by refusing to advise the jury on the possibility of a lesser conviction.

He said he doubts Judge Barrett was prejudiced. The judge had refused early in the trial to admit evidence on FeuNch's paralysis unui it was precpr.ted in a ditf'-rent manner, Rasio said.
