The Council then took up the matter of the Planning Board minutes.
An application was made to the Planning Board for a change of zone on Lots
11 and 12, Block 28, Miami Shores Subdivision, also known as 236 N. E. 95th
St. In the Planning Board's report to the Council they recommended that this
request for change be denied. Although the petitioners had not been notified
that the Council would consider the petition at this meeting, after some discussion,,
Mr. Carpenter moved that the Planning Board action be affirmed. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Reynolds and passed unanimously.
The Council next discussed the Planning Board's denial of request
to subdivide 125 ft. into two building sites. Some of the property owners
from N. E. 93rd St. between 3rd and 4th Ave. were present to voice -objections
to the construction of two houses on Lots 8, 9 & E 1/2 of 10, Block 47. Mr.
Nadeau advised that it would be a mistake to allow this splitting of lots, based
on a similar situation which occurred in Miami Springs. The Council took no
action as the builder did not appear to appeal the Planning Board's decision.
The Planning Board recommended approval of the plans for the rectory
of St. Rose of Lima Church to he built on Lots 6 and 7, Mirror Lake Subdivision.
Upon motion made by Mr. Carpenter, seconded by Mr. Reynolds and passed
unanimously,, action of the Planning Board was confirmed.
Several property owners from 103rd St. were present concerning.a
proposed ordinance to prohibit truck traffic from all streets except N. E. 2nd
Ave, and Biscayne Blvd. Mayor Claussen stated that the Council had not had
an opportunity to study this ordinance but hoped to have it ready for the next
meeting.

For the benefit of those present who wanted to discuss the proposed
leasing of the Country Club, Mayor Claussen stated that the Council had taken
no action on the proposal, that everyone would be fully informed of any plan
and that an election would be held so that the people could either approve or
reject any proposed plan.
Mr. Frank Walsh and other residents of Biscayne Park, appeared to
discuss the Flood Control's proposal to install a dam on the. Miami Shores
Golf Course whichwuld block all the boats from Biscayne Park and he wanted
to know what the attitude of the Miami Shores Council was concerning this dam.
The Village Manager explained that the engineers bad discussed this proposed
dam with him which they planned to build sometime in the year, following July
157. At the present time the Only part of this flood control plan that we were
concerned with was their request that we adopt a 25 ft. rear yard set back on
the north side of the Canal to prevent any further building into the proposed
easement which will be needed for working along the. Canal in the future but.
not for widening the Canal.
The meeting adjourned at 5:35 P.M.
