Mr. Walker moved that this bill be approved for payment out of the contingency account. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. The next business was in regard to the question of allowing electrolysis as a home occupation, continued from the last meeting. The Village Manager went into the background of having licensed Mrs. Mary K. Deal, 67 N. W. 109th St. , at two other locations in the Shores where she operated without complaint. Mr. McCall then read Mr. Anderson's opinion concerning this occupation with the conclusion that in view of no specific comparison, he deemed it to be in the category of a beauty parlor and ®F� 9/19/61 -2- therefore within the prohibited uses. Mr. and Mrs. Deal were present as well as her attorney, Mr. Carlisle. Since none of the neighbors who had brought the complaint before the Council at the last meeting were present, Mr. Claussen stated he thought any decision on this application should be tabled to allow time to contact the neighborhood and talk to the people inasmuch as there is some question as to the interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance. After further discussion Mr. Walker moved that the Council permit the present use of this property for an unlimited length of time without prejudice to the city on the grounds that we would be better able to render an opinion after we have had more time to observe the proposed use, since the ordinance is not clear on this particular home occupation. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. A letter was read by Mayor Miller from Probation Officer, Judge Blanton, commending our Police Officer James Fowler on his work with boys and girls. Concerning the Police Chiefst dinner, Mr. Rudnick moved that Miami Shores be host to the Police Chiefs Association at the Country Club this Friday. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for permit to build on Lot 21, Block 73, M. S. Subdivision, (a 50 ft. lot), by Paul Lane, providing the adjoining owners have no objection. A letter from the neighbors, to this effect, was presented at this meeting and Mr. Rudnick moved that the Planning Board recommendation be upheld. Motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously. 3 9/19/61 -3- Mr. Irving Horsey, architect, presented the final plot plan for the new Peoples National Bank to be constructed on Lots 13 through 17, Block 28, M. S. Subdivision. This plan had been approved by the Planning Board. Mr. Walker moved that the Council uphold the Planning Board decision. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick. Discussion followed concerning revising the plot plan to show parking on the 100 ft. east of the alley.

Mr. Claussen reported on the progress of the proposed addition at the Country Club. He stated that the Committee had chosen Wes Dunaway as the interior decorator and that the plans are at a point where blue prints can be printed in a few days. Mr. Claussen further stated that it has been suggested that we do the building ourselves inasmuch as it is a relatively simple plan and we can save approximately three to four thousand dollars. He stated he would be glad to give his time to this work; that most of the Ila 9/19/61 -4- work will be subcontracted. If the Council prefers to do this work the Committee will prepare a cost breakdown, or if a contractor is desired, approval is requested to call for bids.
