Memorandum to: Village Council
From: Village Manager
Attached hereto is copy of letter, from Mr. Dunning
concerning his proposed building wherein he refers to plans submitted.
Apparently Mr. Dunning left a sketch with me which I overlooked in
subsequent discussions and which does call for a Post Office at the rear
of the lot.
Had Mr. Dunning gone through the regular channels
of applying for a permit, I am sure the present confusion would not
have arisen. Instead, he dropped by my office several times to discuss
the matter and for some reason I cannot remember when he left the
sketch. However, we found it on my table. Mr. Dunning requests re-
consideration of the matter at the next regular meeting.

Attention: Mr. Lawton McCall, Village Mgr.
Dear Mr. McCall:
There has been some apparent misunderstanding between myself and
the Village Council with reference to my application to build a building
on the southwest corner of N. E. 99th St. and N. E. 2nd Avenue
immediately adjacent to the Miami Shores Theatre Building.
If you will refer to the plans submitted, you will find that my application
was for a building covering the entire lot and the westerly thirty-eight
feet thereof was to be utilized as a branch post-office to serve the Village.
The rental agreed upon between myself and the post-office department
was based upon only the portion of the building referred to and that portion
to be adjacent to the alley and facing 99th St. only, and therefore, I shall
appreciate the Council advising me as to whether or not this building may
be built in accordance with the plans submitted and not as a portion of
the building to be placed at their discretion.
I think that they will realize the economic factor involved and will readily
understand that it will be highly impractical to build a small building on
the 2nd Avenue frontage.
I shall greatly appreciate either receiving the approval or the disapproval
of the plans submitted as stated above and deeply regret any misunder-
standing in this matter.
Thanking you and the members of the Council for your sincere consider-
ation and advice, I am
Very truly yours,
K. M. DUNNING
