Committee. Mr. Saxon moved that the Village Manager follow the recommenda-
tions of the Committee regarding the 3-D policy on the Country Club. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously.
In regard to the Village liability coverage, Mr. Saxon moved that
b
the liability policy be renewed with McAlpine Boulton as recommended the
Insurance Committee. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed
unanimously.
At the last Planning Board meeting a variance of two feet was
recommended on the rear setback for an addition to be built on Lot 4, Block 2,
River Bay Park Subdivision, by Mr. Guernsey for the owner, Mr. Adams.
The Council confirmed their verbal approval of the two-foot variance by motion
made by Mr. Saxon, seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
A plan was presented for a house to be built on Lot 1, Block 72 (corner
of 99th St. and 9th Ave. ), a 56 ft. lot, by Paul Lane. This plan had previously
been approved by three members of the Planning Board. The Council questioned
the facing of the house on the avenue with only a 15 ft. setback, although a 25 ft.
setback was maintained on the street side in line with the established setback
of the other houses. After some discussion Mr. Saxon moved that the plan be
sent back to the Planning Board for re-consideration of the setbacks. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unanimously.
A swimming pool plan with enclosed screening for Dr. L. A. Toto,
10605 N. E. 2nd Ave. , was presented to the Council, having been approved
by three members of the Planning Board. The original plan of the pool was
without a screen and having a 10 ft. side setback from the water's edge to

the lot line. In order to screen a pool there must be 10 ft. between the
screen, which is usually at the edge of the walkway, to the lot line and Dr. Toto
was informed of this. In constructing the pool, however, it was inadvertently
located 9 ft. 7 ins. from the lot line. Then Dr. Toto decided to add the
screening which will further encroach on the setback. After some discussion,
Mr. Walker moved that the Council deny the application for the screen permit
first on the basis that it does not meet the required setback, secondly that the
Doctor was told that unless he corrected the setback he wouldn't be able to
screen it and thirdly, that the design of the screening doesn't meet the aesthetics
of a residential area. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed unan-
imously. Mr. Rudnick then moved that the Council approved the 5 in. variance
on the pool setback. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
Mr. Walker suggested that the Building Inspector bring to the
Council's attention plans for pools that do not have sufficient setback for
screening and that this be called to the attention of the owner and the architect
by letter.
The unfinished business of the drainage assessments on 91st Terrace
was again discussed. Mr. Saxon moved that the petition to release the liens
be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco and passed 4/1 with Mr.
Walker declining to vote.
Concerning the H & G Detective Bureau, Mr. Saxon moved that the
Village Manager be directed to see that an ordinance is drawn up regulating
this type of business and that the Chief of Police be consulted for his views

the matter. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
Mr. Walker suggested that this ordinance stipulate the amount of bond,
that no employee of the organization have a police record, suits for bank-
ruptcy or receivership, registration of employees, finger printing, etc. and
that the organization meet certain national ratings.
Mayor Claussen brought up the problem of outside compressors
being installed too close the living quarters of adjoining neighbors. It
was suggested that the Village Manager make a recommendation to the Council
on this subject to be written up in an ordinance.
The meeting adjourned at 5:20 P.M.
