REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
October 16, 1962
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Council was held at
4:00 o'clock P. M. , October 16, 1962, at the Village Hall, with the following
Councilmen present:
Mayor Dale Miller, Jr.
Dean R. Claussen
Spencer W. Rudnick
Joseph H. Walker
Absent: John F. Saxon
The Village Attorney, Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, was also absent.
Upon motion made by Mr. Rudnick and seconded by Mr. Claussen,
the minutes of the last regular meeting were unanimously approved as written.
An invitation was received to an informal reception to be given by
the City of Miami Beach on October 21st at the Fontainebleu Hotel for delegates
to the Florida League of Municipalities convention opening on that day.
At the last Planning Board meeting approval was recommended for
the separation of buildings on the new plot plan presented by Mr. James Jones
for the development of the remainder of that part of Block 59, M.-S. Subdivision
lying south of 92nd Street. The on-street parking layout was referred to the
Council without Planning Board action. After a review of the plan, Mr. Claussen
moved that the Council approve the plot plan as submitted by Mr. Jones with
the parking as designated, with the exception that all on-street parking on
Park Drive be angle parking. Mr. Claussen stated his reasons for granting
exception in the parking requirement on this proposed plan are because of the
present "O" Zoning on which there are no definite requirements and because

of its location in relation to the dead end of 91st St. and along Park Drive, a
lightly traveled street. Motion was seconded by Mayor Miller and passed
3/1 with Mr. Rudnick dissenting.
Dr. Marvin Hall presented plans for an addition to his building at
9200 N. E. 6th Ave. The Planning Board did not take action on these plans
inasmuch as they did not approve the original building as constructed by Mr.
James Jones. After discussion of the Planning Board and Council action on
this building, Mr. Claussen moved that the Council table action on Dr. Hall's
request until the next Council meeting so that the Council will be able to consider
it further and view the site. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed
unanimously.
Mr. Walker stated that in view of the changes that have occurred in
this area, he would like to review all previously approved plans of Mr. Jones's.
He then moved that the Council rescind earlier motions covering buildings for
Lots 10, 11 and 12. and consider any future plans for these lots purely on the
basis of such plans when they are submitted. Motion was seconded by Mr.
Rudnick and passed 3/1 with Mr. Claussen dissenting as it was his suggestion
that the Council, City Manager and Planning Board should sit down and reconsider
this area based on the development at the present time.
A resolution was received from the Tri-County Governmental League
opposing the apportionment measure at the November 6, 1962 general election.
Mr. Claussen moved that this be considered and tabled. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously.
A letter was received by the Mayor from State Senator Cliff Herrell

requesting a contribution from our city for the purpose of bringing the legislators
and their wives to Miami for a weekend. Mr. Claussen moved that the Council
take this under advisement. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed
unanimously.
Mr. Rudnick called attention to the fact that the People's National
Bank has not erected a fence around its parking lot as promised. Mr. Rudnick
also discussed the profs and conDs of securing bids for police cars through the
County Purchasing Dept. The Mayor suggested discussing this further with
the Village Manager upon his return.
Mr. Claussen reported that the Shuffleboard Committee had met and
drove over to the present tennis court area to view the proposed location north
of the courts but that the Committee did not come to any conclusion. It was the
opinion of some members of the committee that no one was very enthusiastic
about this spot and that they would like to have the shuffleboard caurts east
of the tennis courts. Mr. Claussen fated that this area was too close to flying
golf balls and that the people on 100th Street had been promised there would be
no lighted courts across from their homes.
