Weil will bVh.ld erro Chapel, Walton funw.ll Heme on Thuitooy al recommended by planning staff By BOB LEWIS Ex-Assemblyman Rawson Prince dies ELY Former Nevada Assemblyman Rawson "Ross" Prince died Monday in an East Ely hospital a month after being elected to the Ely City Council.

He was 68. Prince, who represented the White Pine-Lincoln district in the Assembly from 1969 to 1974, had been under hospital care since January. A longtime White Pine County resident, Prince served on White Pine County's school board, hospital board and county commission. a He was born Oct. 27, 1910 in Washington, Utah, and spent his childhood in Idaho.

Prince married Hope Jensen ia 1932 and he moved to White Pine County a year later. Prince owned and operated a trucking business in Ruth and farms in Shoshone, Idaho, and White Pine County. Prince also owned the Highway Market east of Ely. He built the Independent Grocers Association building in Ely, which he operated Greater Reno-Sparks Chamber of Commerce stating a "real need" for more hotel rooms In the Reno area. Five months before the City Council rejection of the proposed expansion, Karadanis apparently tried to convert the floors to hotel rooms on his own but was stopped when building Inspectors ordered him to tear out bathroom fixtures installed for the unauthorized hotel rooms.

Sundowner building records were subpoenaed by a federal grand jury in March during an investigation into the city's sewer allocation program. The commission also will consider major project reviews on these cases: VINE STREET MOTEL Development plans call for a 100-room motel with an accompanying liquor store and gift shop on Vine Street between Third and Fourth streets. The proposed motel would employ nine workers and require 9.240 gallons a day sewer capacity, according to staff analysis. In a sharply worded recommendation, Ms. O'Malley calls for denial of the project as part of a suggested policy to curb the runaway growth r.ate in the Truckee Meadows.

She also suggests that the motel is located too far from the downtown gaming area and might later be converted to apartments. The commercial application for a motel, the report says, could be a try at sidestepping the long sewer allocation waiting list for residential projects. BONANZA OFFICE BUILDING Plans call for construction of four stories of law offices, a fifth story penthouse apartment and four stories of underground parking at the intersection of Flint and Court streets. The complex will include 43.092 feet of office space. According to developers, the five-story building located near the Washoe County Courthouse also would include a court reporting service, a sandwich shop, a travel agency and a florist shop.

The planning staff recommends approval. AIRPORT OFFICE EXPANSION The Washoe County Airport Authority wants to build 21,562 square feet of office space north of Brookside Golf Course east of Reno International Airport. The offices would be used by the staff of the Flight Service Station, the Airways Facilities Sector and the General Aviation Office. The planning staff recommends approval. The proposed expansion of the Sundowner HotelCasino is too big, too noisy, too crowded, would create further growth-related hardships in the Truckee Meadows and therefore ought to be denied, according to a staff analysis by the Department of Regional Planning.

That gloomy estimate of the Sundowner expansion's impact on the Reno area will go to the Regional Planning Commission Thursday as part of a major project review hearing. Sundowner owner George Karadanis will be back before the commission in his long-running quest to convert the top nine floors of the Sundowner tower addition from proposed office space to 162 hotel rooms. The Sundowner addition is now under construction. The hearing is scheduled at 7 p.m. in the council chambers in Reno City Hall, Center and Liberty streets.

Karadanis already has received commission approval for the hotel room conversion. In April, commissioners voted 8-1 to recommend approval of the expansion. But that recommendation was overturned a week later by an angry Reno City Council, which accused Karadanis of "thumbing his nose" at the city. The council complained that the Sundowner owner originally requested and won approval for office space in his hotel tower, with apparently no intention of ever using the top floors for office space. According to the planning department staff report prepared by planner Sheila O'Malley.

the expansion would generate 104 total base employees and would bring 396 people to the Truckee Meadows. The increased population would require 172 dwellings. Sewage treatment requirements are estimated at 15,390 gallons a day. The analysis indicates that the expansion is short of 170 parking spaces and would be a further impact on traffic and air pollution in the area. The report also points out a "critical need" for day care for casino workers' children that is not addressed in the Sundowner's expansion plans.

Karadanis and architect Bill Morris have said the expansion is a matter of "pure economics" and that the tower is more suited for hotel rooms than offices. Morris also quoted a "position paper" by the Cameron McPherson A funeral Is pending for Cameron McPherson. 16, who was killed Sunday in an automobile accident in El Cajon, Calif. Born Jan. 28, 1963, in Annapolis, she had been attending Grossmont High School in EI Cajon, where her family Is now stationed with the U.S.
