MINUTES OF MEETING OF
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL

The Miami Shores Village Council held a public meeting
on July 28th, 1941 in the Village Community House with all members
present, this meeting having been called pursuant to the provision
of the Village Charter.
There were eighty-four Village citizens in attendance.
The Mayor explained each item of the budget, and the only suggested
change brought about by this meeting was the continued use of
metal plates for evidence of automobile inspection.
The Council then resolved itself into an Equalization
Board and adjourned to the Village Office to hear objections to
tax assessments on the 1941 tax roll.
Mr. Ray Earnest, representing Foremost Properties, Inc.,
appeared before the Council to object to assessments on Tracts
175-A through 178-A, Miami Shores Section 8 Revised. Mr. Earnest
was reouested to put his objections in writing to be considered
by the Board on Tuesday, July 29th.
The Board received letters objecting to assessments from
Hugh H. Gordon and Mrs. Carrie S. Nelson, after which the Board
recessed until 7:30 P. M. July 29th, 1941 and received written
objection to the assessments of Foremost Properties, Inc. from Mr.
Ray M. Earnest. After discussion the Board decided to reduce this
property to $2,000.00 per acre.
The Board then considered the objection of Mr. Hugh H. Gordon
to the assessments on his property and decided to assess Tracts
178-B through 181-B at
2,000.00 per acre, being on the same basis

as the assessment placed on the tracts owned by Foremost Properties.
The Board reduced the 10 acres of land described as Mr. Gordon's home
place to $18,000.00, and his property described as Tract I to 011,000.00.
The property of Mrs. Carrie S. Nelson was reduced from
$8,400.00 to 08,000.00.
The property of John M. Ritter was reduced from $10,250.00
to $10,000.00.
A letter objecting to the assessments of several pieces of
property was received from T. J. Ellis, Jr., but no changes were made
in his assessments.
All letters of objection to the tax assessment roll are
on file in the Village Office.
The Equalization Board having completed its business dis-
solved, and then the members sat as a Village Council and upon motion
of Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Frix, Ordinance No. 107 was unanimously
passed and adopted, said ordinance being entitled:
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGET OF
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR OF
THE VILLAGE FROM AUGUST 1, 1941 THROUGH

Upon motion made by Mr. Stockdell and seconded by Mr.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD OF MIAMI
SHORES VILLAGE ON THE MATTER OF
INCREASING THE CUBIC CONTENT RE-
QUIREMENTS OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS
ON THE LOTS FRONTING ON N.E. 96th
STREET RUNNING EAST FROM THE RAILROAD.
PROPERTY TO N.E. 8th AVENUE.
To The Members Of The Council
Of Miami Shores Village:
In compliance with the Council's instruction concerning
a proposal to increase the cubic content requirements of dwellings
on property fronting on N.E. 96th Street from the railroad to N.E.
8th Avenue, the Planning Board recommends that increases be made
according to the figures indicated on the plat attached to this
report.
This Board has been and is of the opinion that 96th Street
is one of the principal residential streets of the Village, and that
the present minimum cubic foot requirements of 15,000 feet on the
subject property is low. This Board in making its recommendation
has studied the property and has taken into consideration the close
proximity of the railroad and the commercial property abutting the
railroad on the west, which conditions create a decreasing influence
on appraisals, development and loan committments from lending agencies.
We therefore suggest that the requirements on this property be es-
tablished on a graduated scale, beginning at N.E. 8th Avenue, with
the same cubic requirement (20,000) as the frontage running East
from this point, and decreasing toward the railroad as shown on
the plat.
Respectfully Submitted:
Chairman

Gentlemen;
In connection with the resignati n tendered to
the Council by Er. Ritter, our Village Building Inspector,
I wish to mete the folio:ring motion concerning same. I
believe that our Building, Inspector actor' in good faith,
he having obtained permission from our Village Vanager,
Er. liMeall, to erect a residence as a contractor on the
S. W. corner of 98th Street and B. E. 5th Avenue.
Our Village Llan ger was given specific in-
struoticns by former L:ayor Stookdeli that Er. Ritter -
vas not to be given permission while he vas in the em-
ploye of our Village aa Village Building Inspector., to
take contract to oroct this dwelling. I nlieve further
that our Village Manager used very poor judgment in per-
nitting our Buildir3 Inspector to accept this contract
and that it seta a dangerous precedent whici , in my
opinions till cause a ch critioic i by the people toyards
our Village Government.
and
I move_ you that we repreman. our Village Manager
I further
