E. Reynolds Michael J. Franco William E. Carpenter S. D. Phillips, Jr. Absent: George A. Frix Mr. Herbert Nadeau attended in the absence of Mr. Anderson, Village Attorney. Upon motion made by Mr. Franco, seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously, minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written. Mr. Paul Kinney appeared before the Council in regard to his request to move an old frame house that now exists on parts of Lots 7, 8 and 10, Block 1, Earleton Shores, to Lot 10 exclusively, permit for which had been denied at the last regular Council meeting. After further discussion of this request with Mr. Kinney, it was decided that it would be better to have this house face 100th Street where there is another frame house and where more vacant property exists than on 99th Street. Mr. Phillips then moved that we refer this request back to the Planning Board with the recommenda- tion that the house be placed on Lot 7 facing north. The motion was seconded by Mr. Franco, and passed by a 3/1 vote with Mr. Carpenter dissenting after 218 , 219 122/52 -2- making the statement that he felt a full Council should be present before deciding on the matter. Mr. Hansell reported that Mr. Emery, engineer for the Rader Engineering Co. has recommended that we use asphaltic concrete on our streets, which can be accomplished with the money available, excluding Miami Ave. Planning,Board minutes were read wherein a store building was approved for Lot 16, Asbury Park which is on the east side of Biscayne Blvd. just north of the Gulf Service Station. Mr. Hansell reported that there appeared to be adequate parking with 14 spaces provided for the six stores. Question arose as to the possibility of getting the owner to dedicate four feet of his property for an alley easement since there is an encroachment of six feet on the present alley. The Village Manager was instructed to talk to the owner about this easement. The newly proposed dog ordinance was deferred until the next meet- ing when Mr. Frix is present. Concerning Mr. Ray Guernsey's request for certain cubic foot requirements for his new subdivision, Planning Board minutes were read recommending approval of this cubic footage. Action on this request was deferred until Mr. Guernsey is present. The next business on the agenda was Dr. Keller's request for permit to construct an outside entrance in his home for a professional office. This was discussed at the last meeting with the possibility of arranging the construe- tion tion of the office so that a common entrance could be used. However, Mr. Hansel]. 220 1 1 2+L 1 . -3- 12/2/52 reported, after checking the plans, that this was not feasible. After further discussion and after checking with Mr. Frix by telephone who was ill, Mr. Phillips moved that the application be approved with the door facing east, as a special case because of the location. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously. Mr. Myers appeared before the Council for approval of the construc- tion of a wall around the Mirror Lake Subdivision plans for which had been drawn by the Rader Engineering Company. Mr. Myers said it is to be a four foot wall back from the water's edge with rip rap wall to the water, that they intend to start building houses on 103rd Street and that they will complete the sidewalks on the east and west side of the subdivision as soon as the houses are completed. The Village Manager suggested that they put up a $10, 000 bond for completion of the wall and sidewalks within three years. Mr. Carpenter moved that this project be approved subject to posting of a performance bond for completion of the wall as specified around the entire property within three years and for construction of the sidewalks on the east and west side within three years and subject to meeting the specifications of the Rader Engineering Co. for the entire project. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously. Mr. Irey, engineer from the Rader Engineering Go. , was present in regard to the air conditioning installation at the Country Club. He reported that the water from the well they have dug is not too good and while it can be used, it will require a larger condenser, one that can be more easily cleaned. The price received from the Biscayne Air Conditioning Co. for this condenser is $243.93 222 1 1. 223 -4- 12/252 Mr. Carpenter moved that we approve this purchase. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously. Mr. Rader's engineer further reported that the air conditioning of the Village Hall will require heavier electrical service than estimated which will increase the cost by $550. 00. The Village Manager asked if the contractor would allow us to do the electrical work and the Council asked that the engineers submit a contract for the additional electrical work. At the last meeting of the Country Club Advisory Board, it was recommended that as of December lst, all new applications from non-residents for yearly membership be increased to $225. 00 for family and $210. 00 for single, and effective January lst, all renewals will be $225. 00 for family and $210. 00 for single membership.
