REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
December 1, 1953
A regular meeting of the Village Council of Miami Shores Village,
Florida, was held at 4:00 o'clock P. M. , December 1, 1953, at the Village
Hall, with the following Councilmen present:
Mayor S. D. Phillips, Jr.
M. E. Reynolds
William E. Carpenter
Dean R. Claussen
Absent: Michael J. Franco
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written
by motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed
unanimously.
The first business taken up was in regard to one of the Planning
Board recommendations approving permit to construct a residence on Lot
12, Block 126, Miami Shores Section 5, a 50 ft. lot owned by Mr. Paul Kinney.
Mr. Claussen moved that the permit be granted. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously.
The Planning Board also recommended that a variance permit be
granted to Mr. J. Law Davis and W. H. Krames to construct a filling
station on Lots 29 through 32, Block 3, North Shore Crest, because it
cannot meet the spacing requirement of 750 ft. between stations. Mr.
Reynolds was in agreement with this action as he did not believe the spacing

ordinance had been meant for Biscayne Blvd. , only N. E. 2nd Avenue and
6th Avenue and he also stated that the location is only good for a motel or
gasoline station and that he personally would rather see the gasoline station.
Mr. Claussen did not believe we should grant a permit 'since the spacing
ordinance had been passed as he believed the ordinance should be upheld or
amended to include only N. E. 2nd Avenue and 6th Avenue.
After further discussion Mr. Reynolds moved that the recommenda-
tion of the Planning Board be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Carpenter and a poll was taken of the vote with the following results:
Mr. Carpenter "Yes"
Mr. Phillips "No "
Mr. Reynolds "Yes"
Mr. Claus sen "No "
Motion failed to carry.
Mr. Reynolds then moved that the petition of the applicant be
presented at the next meeting when a full Council is present. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously.
The matter of the aluminum car porte awning at the residence of
Mrs. Thompson, 42 N. E. 97th Street, was deemed by the Planning Board
as an administrative matter and therefore was referred to the Village Manager.
The Planning Board recommended the granting of a permit to
Mr. M. A. 'Reardon to construct a,residence on Lot 6, Block 30, Miami
Shores Section 1. Inasmuch as no additional land can be purchased, Mr.
Reynolds moved that the recommendation of the Planning Board be approved.

enclosed. Reference should also be made of this ordinance in the next
Village bulletin and a notice sent to operators of trucks delivering top soil.
Further discussion was held concerning a proposed ordinance to
register and finger print domestic help and yard men. Although recommended
by the Chief of Police, because of the opinion of Villagers and some of
the Councilmen against this type of policing, Mr. Reynolds moved that the

Manager get together to work out details of a voluntary identification plan
