ing Councilmen present:

Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.

Mr. J. P. Reeder, attorney for Peoples National Bank, and Mr.
Irving Horsey, architect, were present to petition the Council to consider
the re-zoning for parking of Lots 11 and 12, 18 and 19, Block 28, the 100 ft.
west of the alley on the east side of N. E. 2nd Ave. between 94th and 95th
Streets. In January of 1961 a public hearing for this re-zoning was held
before the Planning Board and a recommendation made by the Board to the
Council for approval of this re-zoning which the Council turned down without
prejudice. It was Mr. Anderson°s opinion that the Council had a clear legal
right to re-zone this strip as was done to the. 100 ft. behind the business lots
to the north, inasmuch as the courts had ruled that the 2nd Ave. frontage in
this block be zoned for business. However, Mr. Anderson further advised that
the people be notified that the Council intends to consider this matter at the

next meeting. Mr. Rudnick then moved that the matter be set for the
calendar of March 20th for action and that the City Manager be instructed to
notify the people within a 500 ft. radius that it will be considered again at that
time and if they have any objections and wish to be heard to appear at that
meeting. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
Commissioner Ben McGahey forwarded a County resolution
designating N. E. 6th Ave. as "Wyolene Neal Plaza", and suggested that
Miami Shores pass a similar resolution and participate in a special dedication
ceremony. After some discussion, Mr. Claussen moved that we table any
action on this resolution. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed
unanimously.
It was reported that Mr. Claussen will participate at the Conference
for Mayors, Commissioners and Councilmen, sponsored by the Florida League
of Municipalities, to be held in Orlando April 1, 2, and 3. Mr. Walker moved
that Mr. Claussen represent Miami Shores and that the Shores pay the
necessary expenses for him toattend this meeting. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously.
At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended to
convert a garage into a game room with bath by Mr. Armond Renzi at 286
N. E. .107th St. , Lot 9 & 1/2 of 10, Block 13, Pasadena Park Sub. Mr. Walker
moved that the Council approve the Planning Board recommendation with the
requirement of having an affidavit signed and recorded that the property will

Mr. Paul J. O'Neill, 1260 N. E. 97th St. , Republican candidate
for Congress, rented the Picking Chicken property for a campaign office and
was present to request permission to paint signs on the large billboard
structures on 6th Ave. and on the Boulevard. Mr. Walker moved that the
Council approve Mr. O'Neill!s request with the provision that the signs con-
form with the sign ordinance and also that they be painted out on the termina-
tion of the election period. Motion was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed 4/1
with Mr. Rudnick dissenting.

On the unfinished business of the traffic survey, the Chief of Police
reported that the State Road Dept. had completed the survey both as to speed
and lights and that they are now awaiting the accident reports from Tallahassee,
after which the survey will be reviewed by the Board. It was UX. Anderson's
opinion that we should send a representative to Tallahassee to plead our case.
Mr. Walker moved that the City Manager see that we have a representative
there and notify the Womants Club so that if they wish to have a representative
at the hearing they may also be there. This motion was withdrawn.and the
City Manager stated he would take care of it.
Mr. Claussen reported that his Committee on Shuffleboard courts
was not ready to make a recommendation. Mr. Walker stated that he did not
feel that the location along the railroad tracks was the best place for this
facility.
The Village Manager reported that 17 more street lights could

wanted to know if any of these lights would be placed near the entrance to
the Clubhouse as it is now very difficult to find the driveway at night. This
will be brought back to the next meeting.
Concerning negotiations between the Janis Company and the
neighboring citizens, the Village Manager reported that the two groups had
had a meeting in Mr. Pruntyas office. The citizens agreed to a three-story
building but the Janis Company did not. Mr. McCall also requested
authorization concerning defense of the suit. Mr. Rudnick moved that the
Village defend the suit with full force and vigor. Motion was seconded by
