Rudnick Joseph H. Walker Absent: John F. Saxon Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present. Approval of the minutes of the meeting of December 4th had been deferred for a correction by Mr. Walker who moved that the statement in paragraph three, Page 2. , concerning 400 sq. fet. per parking space, be corrected to read, 11200 sq. ft. per space", and the minutes approved as amended. Motion was seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously. Minutes of the last meeting of December 18th were approved as written by.motion made by Mr. Claussen, seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. The Village Manager proposed that an ordinance be written establishing the formular for parking in the "C" Zone and defining the building area which was left at the last meeting as "usable office space". Mr. Rudnick did not think that an ordinance should be written for parking space using net office space. He thought it should be on the overall square footage of the building and not on the interior usable space as there may be changes made to the interior by leases 1/2/63 r, and different occupants. Mr. Walker suggested using the County requirement of 400 sq. ft. of gross building space to each off-street parking stall. Mr. Claussen moved that an ordinance be written amending our zoning � no ordinance .Schedule of Regulations dealing with Professional Office zoning for U R, N off-street parking using the formula of 400 sq. ft. of floor area to each parking stall (as defined in the ordinance) based on gross building area. Motion was o o N seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. It was stated that this W Ca U) w formula should be applied to the renovation of the building at 9405 Park Drive. Concerning the development for Lots 8 through 13, Block 59, Miami Shores Subdivision, Mr. Claussen moved that a variance be made to the parking requirements on this described to the effect that the total gross building area not exceed 27, 000 sq. feet as set forth in the minutes of December 4, 1962. After some discussion this motion was withdrawn. On advice of the Village Attorney, the above motion to amend the zoning ordinance was withdrawn and the following one substituted: Mr. Claussen moved that an ordinance be prepared according to previously discussed parking regulations in the "C" Zone and confirming the action taken by the Council with respect to the property described as Lots 8 through 13, Block 59, Miami Shores Subdivision, as adopted at the mewing of December 4, 1962, any action taken to the contrary notwithstanding. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. A new Police radio contract with the City of Miami was presented for approval. Mr. McCall stated that the monthly radio service rate has been reduced from $218: 00 per month to $108. 00 per month and that part of the money 1/2/63 -3- saved will be used to install an emergency police telephone at 96th Street and Biscayne Blvd. Upon motion made by Mr. Walker and seconded by Mr. Claussen the contract was unanimously approved. The Village Manager presented a new check signing procedure using an automatic checksigner as follows: The Executive Control keys are to be kept by the Village Manager and the Village Clerk. The Operator Control keys are to be kept by the Finance Director and the Payroll Clerk. The Protectograph Signer is to be kept in the office of the Village Manager so that the Executive key holder in every case will either operate the machine or be a witness thereto. The purpose of this is because the Operator Control key holders make up the checks and should therefore not handle the full cycle for internal control. During the times it is necessary for the Village Clerk to make up the payroll checks, the Village Manager will either cut or witness the operation of the Protectograph Signer. Mr. Walker moved that this procedure be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. The Village Manager recommended the purchase of a used trash truck for $1950. 00, with the money to be taken from the Contingent Fund. Mr. Claussen moved that the Council authorize purchase of this equipment. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously. The Council was invited to attend Tropical Park Race Track on Wednesday, January 9th for the running of the 10Miami Shores Race. °f The Village Manager reported that the Building Inspector had examined the house at 1245 N. E. 94th Street and found it would be better construction to go ahead with the requested frame addition. Mr. Claussen stated that as a result of a visit to the premises by our Building Inspector and finding that a good bit of the building is presently of frame construction and was built prior -O- 1/2/63 to our zoning ordinance when frame was allowed and based upon his recommenda- tion that we allow this property owner to make the addition as requested, Mr. Claussen therefore moved that the Council approve the application as presented. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rudnick and passed unanimously. After a review of the current bills Mr. Claussen moved that they be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Walker and passed unanimously.
