Attorney.
Mr. Mason appeared before the Council in behalf of Mr. Dickinson.. He
presented the tracing of the revised plat of Miami Shores Lake Subdivision with
the changes made as suggested by the Council at a previous meeting. The original
plat was brought forth for comparison. There was some discussion about the
grading, whether or not piling would be required and of the natural shelf which
is there at present. Mayor Reynolds requested Mr. Garris, the engineer of
the revised plat, to present a certified report as to the (a) grading, (b) piling,
and (c) present underlying shelf. Mr.' Mason expressed the desire to save..time
and the Council agreed that when the engineer's report was presented, the Council
would hold a brief meeting to review the certification and pass the resolution.
Mr. -Don Nicholson, attorney, representing the Florida East Coast Rail-
road, appeared to discuss a proposed ordinance regarding changes of the present
hours for loading and unloading of freight cars.. Hours were changed to 7:00 Am

to 9:00 PM. However, in cases where there is a breakdown or another type of
emergency which calls for work before or after specified hours, the Railroad
will not.be penalized. The matter of the siding south,of 6th Avenue being used
almost continually at the present time for loading and unloading of materials for
areas far removed from Miami Shores Village, has been referred to the Village
Attorney.
The Railroad is governed by the Waybill and once the car is spotted the
Railroad has no control over the loading or unloading by trucks from the fight
cars. Therefore, a separate ordinance is to be written regarding the loading
and unloading by trucks from this siding,and .their li;nitations, thus placing the
responsibility on the trucker instead of the Florida East Coast Railroad.
Mr. Rudnick asked about the investigation regarding the Miami Shores
Motor Lodge. Mr. McCall advised him it is still in the hands of the City
Attorney, Mr. Anderson.
A question was raised as to the boards and weeds on the lot at 92nd ,Street
and Biscayne Blvd. The Council made a notation to have Mr. Byrd remove the
boards and debris and cut the weeds. Mr. Byrd was advised to hold the boards
at the shop.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
