A regular meeting of the Village Council of Miami Shores Village,
Florida, was held at 7:30 ofclock P.M., January 3, 1950 at the Village Hall,
with the entire Council and the Village Attorney present.
Upon motion made by Mr. Mackenzie, seconded by Mr. Carpenter and
passed, minutes of the last meeting were approved as written.
The first business to be taken up was the recommended change in cubic
foot requirements in River Bay Park Subdivisions, as follows: from 25,000 cu. ft.
to 22,500 on the north side of N. E. 104th and 20,000 cu. ft. on the south side
of said street. Notice of this proposed change had been sent to the property
owners in River Bay Park and River Bay Park Addition. Mr. E. J. Harrington, by
letter, strongly approved this reduction and urged that something be done to clean
up the adjacent swamp area. The following property owners were present: Mr.
Francis Polonke, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Thorndike, Mr. C. B. Soisson and Mr. Speck.
All approved of the proposed reduction in cubic foot requirements. However, Mr.
Speak suggested that the north side of 104th St. be lowered to 20,000 cu. ft.
On motion made by Mr. Carpenter, seconded by Mr. Reynolds and unanimously passed,
the Planning Board recommendation was approved, reducing cubic foot requirements
in River Bay Park and River Bay Park Addition to 22000 on the north side of
N. E. 104th and 20,000 on the south side of 104th St. It was also urged by those
present that the owner of the adjacent land which is causing an unsanitary and
unsightly condition, be forced to clear it. The Village Manager stated that the
property owner of this acreage had been notified to do so, that estimates had
been made on the work required and that he believed the owner meant to begin this
project very shortly.

The neat item on the agenda was a letter received from the County
Engineer's office, enclosing a copy of a lease agreement for the use of a small
portion of' Village land at the nursery for the erection of a temporary fire station.
The Village Manager recommended acceptance of this agreement because of the fire
protection it will afford the Village equipment and because it will in no way
depreciate the value of the land. After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Mackenzie
that the Mayor and Village Manager execute this lease after approval by the Village
Attorney. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager explained that it had been suggested by one of the
residents living near the Community House that, as a safety precaution for the
children, a speed limit of 15 MPH be imposed on traffic in this vicinity. Upon
motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Franco and unanimously passed, the
Village Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordinance setting up a 15 MPH speed
Limit in the vicinity of the playground and Community House.
Council agreed, at Mr. Mackenzie's suggestion, that a stop sign should
be erected at W. Railroad Ave. and 96th St.
The village Manager reported that Mrs. Constance Vereen had accepted
appointment to the Library Board,
Mr. Robert Claiborne asked if the stop signs were going to be repainted
on the streets as they are so badly worn off they cannot be seen. The Village
Manager stated that upright signs had been ordered for all stop streets and that
they will be erected as soon as they are delivered.
Meeting adjourned at 8:25 P.M.
