Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Claussen, seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
The first business before the Council was a public hearing on the
proposal to extend the X-Zone (Supplementary Parking) to the north side of
99th Street, east and west of N. E. 2nd Avenue. All property owners within
500 ft. had been notified, as required by the zoning ordinance. Mr. G.
Robert Khoury of 149 N. E. 99th Street, spoke in opposition of this plan. He
repeated all his objections and petitioned the Council to seriously consider
not re-zoning these lots adjoining his home. No one else spoke on this issue.
Mr. Clausseu then moved that the Council take the results of this hearing
under advisement and act on it at the first meeting in April. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Reynolds. and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager read a letter received from the Flood Control
District in which they proposed a combination dam and bridge to be built in
on
3/18/58
the 107th Street right-of-way, providing the Village would pay for the cost of
repairing damage done to the course in widening and deepening the canal. A
meeting was held at 3:00 P.M. this date with the Flood Control Engineer, their
land acquisition agent and the Village Council. The Council took the position
that the Village shouldn't have to bear any part of the expense involved and no
agreement was reached. The Council stated that it would wait for an analysis
of the appraisals that it is having made. The representatives of the Flood
Control could not indicate whether or not the Flood Control District could or
would bear the entire expense of our re-construction, repairs, bridges, etc. in
return for the required easements through the course without cost.
Mr. Francis Rearick, attorney for the Biscayne River Assoc., reported
on an interview he had recently had with the engineers of the Flood Control in
which they indicated there still might be a change in the location. Mr. Claussen
asked this group to keep us informed of their action.
The Village Manager recommended the purchase of a new bus for the
Recreation Dept. at a cost of not to exceed $3500.00. Mr. Claussen moved
that we purchase this bus in an amount not to exceed $3500, providing it comes
out of the Recreation Dept. budget. Motion was seconded by Mr. Reynolds
and passed unanimously.
Concerning the fire works program for the 4th of July, Mr. Claussen
moved that the Village Manager be instructed to spend an amount equal to that
of last year for fire works. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed
unanimously.
The Planning Board minutes were discussed next. It was the general
21
3/18/58'
opinion of the Council that the Planning Board cannot approve variances but
can recommend approval to the Council. It was also suggested that the Chief
of Police and Maintenance Supt. be instructed to be on the lookout for construc-
tion work being done without permit.
No action was taken on Item
aa#1 concerning the enclosing of a porch with
frame construction] ut2it was suggestedt$hat the Zoning ordinance be reviewed
C7-
to see if this type hof enclosure should be permitted.
In regard to the orchid house built by Mr. Michelson at 1060 N. E. 105th
St., Mr. Claussen moved that the Village Manager be instructed to order this
property owner to comply with our Zoning Ordinance in regard to accessory
buildings. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
In line with plans to build a new women's locker room at the Club, the
Village Manager reported that authorization is needed to employ an architect.

Watson for further discussion at the next meeting.
