REGULAR MEETING
MIAMISHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
October 15, 1957
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Council was held
at 4:00 o'clock P. M. , October 15, 1957, at the Village Hall, with the
following Councilmen present:
Mayor Charles D. Bailey
Michael J. Franco
Dean R. Claussen
Spencer W. Rudnick
Absent: John F. Saxon
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Upon motion made by Mr. Franco, seconded by Mr. Rudnick
and carried, minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written.
Mr. John Pnaife and his attorney, Mr. James A. Reeder, appeared
before the Council to appeal the Planning Board decision with regard to his
car porte. Mr. Pnaife constructed a two-car car porte at his home.at
98 N. E. 103rd Street without a permit. This construction, according to the
Building Inspector, does not meet our building code structurally and extends
about 8 ft. into the side setback and 10 ft. into the rear setback. After some
discussion Mr. Claussen moved that the Council delay any decision on this
request until they have had a chance to see the location. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Franco and passed by a 3/1 vote with Mr. Rudnick dissenting, inasmuch
as he felt the Planning Board decision should be upheld.
A proposal was made by the Club Manager and approved by the
special golf committee, to buy furniture and fold-door partitions for the patio

room at the Club. The Village Manager stated that the estimated cost for
the doors by bid price plus installation of overhead track is about $3, 000. In
addition to this there will be about $5, 000 for new furniture and approximately
$2500 for new flooring, - between ten and twelve thousand dollars for the
entire job. It was pointed out that $20, 000 is budgeted this year for improve-
ments and Mr. Franco moved that this proposal be approved. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Claussen. An amendment was then made to the motion by
Mr. Rudnick that the Village Manager also be authorized to examine the
feasibility of extending the air conditioning throughout the room and present
cost estimates. The motion as amended was passed unanimously.
Mr. Glenn McElwain, President of the Chamber of Commerce, asked
for Council approval to hold the annual Christmas pageant in front of the City
Hall. Mr. Claussen moved that we grant the Chamber of Commerce per-
mission to hold the pageant on the steps of the City Hall. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously.
A discussion took place concerning the zoning on certain properties
along the Railroad which were not put in the proper classification at the time
of the adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance No. 270. Mr. Claussen moved
that we place Block 20, El Portal Subdivision in an A-1 zone - apartments,
and that part of Block 59, Miami Shores Subdivision, not now zoned for
commercial use to "O" classification. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick
and passed unanimously. It was the Village Attorney's opinion that the Council
has the right to do this but that the property owners in the area should be
notified.

draw up an ordinance for this purpose.
