Singleton, Jr. 1090. 00 less 20/6 10 days Mr. Claussen moved that the Village Manager compute bids and give contract to lowest bidder. Mr. Saxon seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. The petition for annexation from the residents of 91st Terrace from 10th Ave. to the Bay was returned with the registered voters certified thereon by the Supervisor of Registration, Dade County. The Village Manager reported he had made a physical survey and it appears that the property on the street will pay its way, providing we increase our garbage fee. The area would pro- duce about $3500. 00 a year. Street lights would cost less than $100 per year. The garbage and trash collection would run $1300 to $1400 a year. Most of the street is in very good condition and should last for five or six years with the exception of one very low spot which would need some work within two years. Mr. McCall further reported that the petition was not ready for acceptance as it is necessary to determine if a majority of the registered voters have signed it. After some discussion Mr. Saxon moved that we adopt an ordinance to annex this area at the next regular meeting of the Council, providing that the petition complies with the requirements of the law. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. 47 7/2/57 -3- Mr. Claussen then moved that the Village Manager be instructed to inform these people that if and when there are any storm sewers provided or special street re-building, that it will be done by special assessment. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously. Mr. Rudnick also suggested that the Village Manager be instructed to inform residents that if they are taken in they will be subject to the zoning and building requirements of,Miami Shores Village, and that the zoning will be the same as the contiguous area to the north. Concerning the budget hearing and Equalization Board meetings, Mr. Claussen moved that July 29 be set as the date for our annual budget hearing and July 30 and 31 for the Equalization Board meetings. The motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously. A letter was received from the Chamber of Commerce opposing the construction of a dam in the Golf Course. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for permit to construct a frame addition to a frame house at 9151 N. E. 9th Ave. After some discussion, Mr. Saxon moved that paragraph 2 of the Planning and Zoning Board minutes of June 27th, in regard to the frame addition, be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed by a 3/1 vote with Mr. Rudnick dissenting. Mr. Arnold, Chairman of the Planning Board, suggested that the Village consider beautifying the parks on the east and west sides of N. E. 2nd Ave. between 93rd and 94th Sts. with grass, shrubbery and perhaps benches. Mr. Rudnick stated that the Chamber of Commerce is planning on the beautification 48 -4- 72/57 of these spots with a plan to be submitted to the Village in the near future. After a review of the bills, Mr. Rudnick moved that they be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.

Concerning Mr. Micl lak's previous request to use his own electric car on the Golf Course, Mr. Claussen moved we deny Mr. Michalak's request based on the report of the special golf committee. Mr. Saxon seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. The Village Manager was requested to thank this committee for the report. A proposed ordinance was read covering action taken by the Council at the last meeting, to re-enact Section 404 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Dillard said that since he cannot build on his land the Village should suspend his taxes and get the County to do likewise. Mr. Arnold suggested that the Council instruct the Planning Board in regard to 50 ft. lots since they have been approving them. Mr. Claussen stated we 49 7/2/57 have established a precedent in the Shores and granted permits to build on 50 ft. lots and the new zoning ordinance stated you can build on 50 ft. lots that were held in separate ownership at the time of the adoption of the ordinance.

Alternate locations for the dam on the golf course had been dis- cussed but they feel the golf course is the necessary and desirable location for the structure. Formal request will be in the form of deeds for execution by the Council. It was pointed out by Mr. Rudnick that the Council must decide if they will approve any location on the Golf Course and if so, where. 50 7/2/57 -6- Because the Mayor will be out of town for several weeks, Mr..
