Mr.. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
The first business of the evening was consideration.of plans for
a store building and detached six-room hotel building to be erected in.a B-1
zone on Lot 4, Farmington.Subdivision, which is on the east side of Biscayne
Blvd. at N. E. 88th Terrace. These plans were approved by the Planning
Beard and they were of the opinion that the buildings as planned were an improve-
ment over the regulations set up in the Zoning ordinance that living accommoda-
tions in a B.-1 zone must be on the second floor. After discussion, Mr. Carpenter
moved that the application of Aaron Rosenberg for commercial retail business
according to the plans and specifications submitted_and approved by the Planning
Board be approved and that the request for a change of zoning for hotel accommo-
dations be denied until compliance with the Zoning Ordinance as amended by
Ordinance No. 227 and a further report is made by the.Planning Board. Motion
was seconded by Mr.. Franco and passed unanimously.

Further discussion: was held concerning Mr. Fitzgerald's request
to build on Lot 8, Block 1I, Pasadena Park. Action was not taken on this
request at the last meeting for lack of a full Council. Mr.. Phillips moved that
the permit be granted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed on
a 3/2 vote with.Mr. Frix and Mr. Carpenter dissenting. Mr. Frix qualified
his vote by stating,that he could not conscientiously set aside an.existing
a�n Aye vote.
ordinance by Vis. Mr. Carpenter stated that he.felt that it would set a
precedent and preclude any defense for refusing building permits on other 54 ft.
lots. It was also stipulated that Mr. Fitzgerald be notified that the Council
agreed that the story and a half should be constructed instead of the one-story
building.
A new plat was presented.on the Mirror Lake Subdivision revising
the depth of the lots to the existing measurements which vary_ from 113 ft. to
12Zft.In a letter accompanying the plat, the engineering firm of Jorgensen &
Schreffler approved a rip-rap wall along the water's edge and indicated that
piling would be necessary for construction; Discussion followed as to whether
or not this wall should be.completed before the plat is approved. It was
suggested that approval shall be withheld pending complete construction of a
rip-rap wall as recommended by Jorgensen &-Schreffler, top elevation of said
wall to he 1$" above rear of lot grade level. However, the Village Manager was
instructed to call the owner and work this out with him. In the meantime the
Council approved having our own engineering survey made on the land and
this is to be brought up again when a report is at hand.

transfer of funds. Motion was seconded by Mr. Frix and passed unanimously.
The Miami Avenue paving was discussed and figures presented on
the cost of a crushed slag surface and.an.asphaltic concrete.surface. The
Council were of the opinion that the crushed slag ,surface would suffice,,and
were going to negotiate with the County Commission for the entire job to be
done at County expense.
Mayor Reynolds brought up the subject of Boy Scout troops wanting
to use the pool for 25� per person in the mornings. The Council approved
the request but because of other organizations making similar requests, it
was suggested that the Advisory Board schedule these reduced-rate swimming
groups.
The need for more street lights and street signs was discussed
as well as plans for future garbage disposal. The Council recommended that the
Village Manager work on the possibility of becoming joint owners with Surfside
of the land now used for garbage disposal at a monthly rate.
