Upon motion made by Mr. Franco, seconded by Mr. Reynolds and unanimously passed, the minutes of the last meeting were approved as written. Mr. John J. Roth appeared before the Council to appeal the Planning Board's action in denying him a permit to build his own home. He presented a letter to the Council explaining why he wished to build another home and that according to the ordinance, it was his opinion that he was entitled to an owner- builder permit. The minutes of the Planning Board meeting indicated that Mr. Roth was denied a permit because"he does not qualify as a general contractor." After discussion Mr. Reynolds moved that the Building Inspector be instructed to give Mr. John J. Roth a contractor's examination within a week from today and if he qualifies, to issue a permit to build a home as requested. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously. The next business was in regard to the cancellation of the lease agreement with Bessemer Properties, Inc. for the use of five acres north of the Golf Club for practice range. The Village Manager reported that because of the building of new homes on N. E. 104th Street in Eveningside Subdivision, it is now impossible to use the property for a driving range and suggested that the agree- ment be cancelled, eliminating further rental fee. Mr. Franco moved that the lease be cancelled. Motion was seconded by Mr. Mackenzie and passed unanimously. Proposed RESOLUTION NO. 310, naming Stuart A. Senneff, Albert P. Hammond, Lonnie A. Byrd and J. N. Cliatt, Jr., as Deputy Clerks, was read by 6 r • 1 6 19 _2_ 5/2/50 the Village Manager. Upon motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Mackenzie, RESOLUTION NO. 310 was unanimously passed and adopted. The American Legion zoning was next discussed. The Village Manager stated that the Legion had requested that the Council consider having their lots on 96th Street appraised and best use recommended, along with the N. E. 2nd Avenue survey. A discussion followed in which the Mayor expressed his opinion that the Village Council had discharged all obligation to the American Legion in attempting to find them a suitable location for their home and he further stated that there is a preponderance of evidence indicating that the people of Miami Shores do not want the American Legion home on 96th Street. Both Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Carpenter did not believe that the Village should spend money to have the Legion lots appraised and the Village Attorney pointed out that this could be used as evidence in a suit against the Village. Mr. Reynolds then moved that the Legion's request to have their land appraised be denied. The motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously. The next item on the agenda was in regard to the Philbrick Subdivision, in accordance with action of the Planning Board as follows: "Mr. Philbrick and Mr. Morrow appeared with a request for establishing cubical requirements on Miami Shores Lake Subdivision and Mr. Schneider made a motion that the Board recommend to the Council that cubical requirements be established at 18,500 cu. ft. on Lots 12 thru 24 and on Lot 1, and at 17,500 cu. ft. on Lots 2 thru 11. Mr. Holt seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried." It was further explained by the Village Manager that these recommended cubical requirements fit in with the neighboring areas.
