N. W. 2nd Avenue. It was Mr. Phillips' opinion thatwe shouldntt spend any
money on N. W. 2nd.Ave. until such time as the parkway can be taken out and.

10'9th St. which motion was seconded by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously.

Of the Contingent Fund. The motion was seconded by Mr. France and passed
unanimously.
Next on the agenda was the unfinished business. of the application of
Hamilton Realty Company to erect a building on.Lot 3, Block 16, Miami Shores Sub. ,
with the use of Lot 23 for parking. Mr. Phillips stated that If we re-zoned Lots
22 and 23 and made them into public parking lots it would be more desirable than
to let the applicant tie this lot in with his building. Mr. Phillips further stated
that he would like to see all the N. E. 2a.d Ave. frontage developed and: this lot
used by the general public. Mr. Hamilton stated that because hand and building
costs are so high, he cannot provide equal square footage for parking on his N.E.
2nd Ave. lot. Therefore, he is proposing to use Lot 23 to meet bis,parking re-
quirements. It was Mayor Claussen's Opinion that we should stick to our zoning
requirement of one sq. ft. of parking to one sq. ft. of building. The Village Manager
pointed out that this application does meet the parking requirements by using the
adjoining lot and that it is not a variance. After further discussion concerning
the previous hearings on the extention of the 1%11 zone, Mr. Phillips strongly urged
that the lots in question be re-zoned since we have had the public hearing and then
moved that we re-zone Lots 22 and 23 for parking. The motion di
