M. , March 15, 1955, at the Village Hall, with the follow- ing Councilmen present: Mayor S. D. Phillips, Jr. M. E. Reynolds William E. Carpenter Michael J. Franco Dean R. Claussen Absent: None Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present. Minutes of the last regular meeting were adopted as written by motion made by Mr. Reynolds, seconded by Mr. Claus sen and passed unanimously. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for the preliminary plans on a 18-unit motel to be constructed by Mrs. W. H. Bell, on the north 100 x 320 ft. of Tract A, Shores Center, immediately east of Biscayne Blvd. and facing 92nd Street. Some discussion was held concerning the facing of this motel on 92nd Street but since the zoning does not restrict the facing of buildings on this property providing all set back requirements are met, Mr. Claussen moved that we uphold the recommenda- tion of the Planning Board on the preliminary plans. Motion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously. The Planning Board also recommended approval for the construction of a house on Lot 9, Block 42, Miami Shores Section #1, a 50 ft. lot, with Li® 41 3/15/55 -2- a variance on the west side line set-back to maintain a distance of 20 ft. between this house and the house to the east.

W. 2nd Avenue, appeared at the meeting to again petition the Council to consider annexation of the residences on the west side of N. W. 2nd Ave. between 103rd and 105th Streets. In April of 1953 this petition was first presented but the Council took no action in view of the fact that the tax revenue would not justify the cost of repairing the street. Mr. Mann stated these people were 1007o in 42 A 3 3/15/55 -3- favor of being annexed into the Shores and also thought they would all be willing to accept a special assessment to pay for the repair of the street. Mr. Anderson advised that if the Council wishes to annex this land, it should be passed by the Legislature and that we should proceed to advertise and get it in this session of the Legislature. Mr. Carpenter moved that these people's application be accepted by this Council. The motion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously. It was further stipulated that upon the condition that the property owners in the affected area or a substantial majority indicate their approval in writing to being included in the Village limits, that the Dade County Delegation be requested to prepare a local bill enlarging the boundaries of the Village to include the particular parcels owned by these applicants. Concerning the vacancy on the Planning Board created by the resignation of Herbert Burnham, Mr. Claussen moved that we appoint Mr. Frank Shuflin to serve on the Planning Board. Motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously. An ordinance was read by the Village Manager concerning the establishment of Pension and Insurance Funds if approved at the election of April 12, 1955. Upon motion made by Mr. Reynolds and seconded by Mr. Franco, ORDINANCE NO. 263 was unanimously passed and adopted, same being entitled: AN ORDINANCE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PENSION AND INSURANCE FUNDS. Instructions were given for a special bulletin to be sent out 45 3/15/55 -4- explaining the proposed pension plan and advising that it will be discussed further at the next Council meeting of April 5th.
