unanimously.
The Council was reminded of the meeting with the County Mayor
on May 8th.
After a review of the current bills Mr. Miller moved that they be
approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
The Planning Board also recommended for approval a 20 unit
addition to the Mt. Vernon Motor Lodge, providing there is no parking on
8th Ave. and that the Council decides that eating facilities are permitted in
motels. It was the opinion of the Village Attorney that a restaurant is an
essential part of a hotel and that it could be decided either way. He recommended
that the zoning ordinance be amended to clarify this point. After some dis-
cussion Mr. Claussen moved that the Council instruct the Village Manager
and Village Attorney to make recommendations for an amendment to the
zoning ordinance to permit a coffee shop in a hotel with necessary controls,
restrictions and limitations as to size, no outside entrance, etc. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
The Council instructed that residents within 500 ft. of the Mt. Vernon
Motel be notified that an amendment to the zoning ordinance is going to be
considered that would permit restaurants in motels.
Mr. Miller then moved that the Council uphold the Planning Board's
approval of the preliminary building plans of this addition. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.

Mr. Saxon asked the Village Manager to look into getting Federal
funds for the operation and improvement of the library.
Mr. Jones asked what happened to the County's offer to put rock on
the parkways on 95th St. Mr. McCall stated it was the intention of the
Public Works Dept. only to cooperate with the Village in some modification
of the parkways. However, Dr. Williams, who brought the parking problem
before the County Manager, does not want gravel on the parkway and has
worked out his own parking.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 P. M.
