Mr. Nichols repro ted that he had looked into the question
of zoning ordinances governing business zoning and there seem to
be none by which the Council could prohibit Mr. Clark from proceed-
ing with the erection of the building on his property, providing
he is meeting all of the building requirements; that according to
Mr. McCall, his specifications meet our requirements and there is
12
13
no legal procedure by which you can deny to issue this permit.
Upon motion of Mr. Kilburn, seconded by Mr. McKee,
Council unanimously approved the issuance of a special permit to
be drawn by the Village Attorney for a temporary office building
to be constructed, according to the plans submitted by Mr. Clark,
on a tract of land he is developing on Biscayne Boulevard and
N. E. 91st Street.
