five feet was approved by the Planning Board and Mr. Carpenter moved that
the action of the Planning Board be sustained. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Franco and passed unanimously.
Mr. Otho Rice was present to appeal the Planning Board's decision
denying him a permit to construct an additional two car garage at his home
at 230 N. E. 100th Street, because of his admitted statements that he does

woodworking for sale in his garage. Mr. Rice contended that the objection
to his additional garage was merely caused by an ornery neighbor who wanted
to cause trouble. Mr. Reynolds stated that the Council would take this under_
consideration and let him know the results.
The Planning Board recommended approval of final plans on the
filling station to be constructed on Biscayne Blvd. at 88th Street. After a
review of the plans Mr. Franco moved that the recommendation of the Planning
Board be approved and that permit be issued for the construction of this
gasoline station for Lots 24 through 28, Block 3, North Shore Crest, in
accordance with the plans as submitted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter
and passed unanimously.
The Chamber of Commerce recommended that East Railroad
Avenue be re-named "Club Lane, " action on which was deferred until a
full Council is present upon motion made by Mr. Claussen, seconded by
Mr. Carpenter and unanimously carried.
A resolution prepared by the Village Attorney, was read, to effect
the temporary withholding of issuance of permits for gasoline stations until
the revised zoning ordinance is completed. Upon motion made by Mr. Claussen,
seconded by Mr. Franco this RESOLUTION NO. 344 was unanimously adopted.
After a review of the bills, Mr. Franco moved they be approved.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager reported that he had made every effort to
assist the neighbors in buying the 50 ft. lot on N. E. 100th Street, for which
Mr. Ed Graham had a client, but that no money had been put up for it. It

was also reported that Mr. Veachan who had a deposit on the lot, had not
definitely decided to buy it.
A discussion was held concerning the Rader Engineering report
on the cost of installing storm sewers. It was the general consensus of
opinion of the Council that the drainage of the streets involved could not
justify an expense of $259, 000. It was suggested that the present catch
basins be cleaned out more often to provide more efficient drainage and that
some additional work be done to provide better drainage at such corners as
Whelan's Drug Store. The Council asked that a survey be made of the worst
spots, needing immediate attention. Then contact O. W. Collins for an
estimate of the cost of the drains and make a report back to the Council. Mr.
Hansell was instructed to go ahead with the grading of certain spots which he
advised could be corrected by grading.
A meeting, which was cancelled last week, was set up for this
Tuesday, February 8th at 7:30 P. M. to discuss the Metropolitan Miami
Municipal report.
The meeting adjourned at 5:45 P. M.
