The sixteenth annual report of the Library Board was presented by Mrs. Gerald E. Shingledecker, President of the Board. On behalf of the Council, Mayor Clement expressed appreciation to the Board for the excellent service it is rendering. A recommendation was made by the Library Board for the appointment of Mrs. Donald W. McIntosh to the Board, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mrs. Nelson Whyte, for a five year term expiring June, 1969. Upon motion made by Mr. Saxon and seconded by Mr. Miller this recommendation was unanimously passed. The Standard Oil Company application for a service station at 96th St. and N. E. 2nd Ave. was the next item on the agenda. Mr. Claussen stated that he and some members of the Council would like to see at least 50 ft. of this 6/16/64 t'P07 -2- property improved for a store or office building and Mr. Crabtree of the Standard Oil Co. , who was present, stated that his company would be agreeable to such a plan if it can be worked out. After further discussion Mr. Claussen moved that the Council approve the construction of a new station on this site and along with it that we ask Standard Oil to make every effort to cooperate with us in further developing N. E. 2nd Ave. by the construction of an office or store building on the north 50 or 60 ft. of this property. Motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously. Mr. Irving Horsey, architect, and representatives of the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church were present to request approval for the church parking plan with the construction of a new chapel on the north side of 96th St, and future expansion of the main church on the south side of 96th St. After review of these plans Mr. Saxon moved that the Council approve the Presbyterian Church going ahead with the proposed plans and that the Council likes the parking plan sub- mitted and that it will cooperate with the building of the proposed sanctuary. Motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously. The next item of business was in regard to the parking lot on 96th St. east of 2nd Ave. which was recently abandoned by Columbia Federal Savings. Mr. Claussen suggested that we further negotiate with the owner, Bessemer Properties, to find some meeting ground of solving the parking lot problem and he stated he would be glad to contact them. Mr. Claussen also wanted someone to investigate the charter of the Columbia Bank as to location and adequacy of parking. He felt we should take sufficient time to find some reasonable solution. The Mayor asked the Village Manager to talk with Bessemer Properties. Mr. Claussen then moved that the Council instruct the Village Manager to call 6/16/64 -3- Bessemer and make every effort to negotiate some solution either to getting the property back in use or improving the method of closing. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously. The Council was reminded of the dinner meeting of the Dade County League of Municipalities to be held on Wednesday, June 24th at the Miami Shores Country Club. The Council was invited to a testimonial luncheon for Darrey Davis, former County Attorney, to be held on Tuesday, June 23rd. The Village Manager presented an architest's sketch of a covered entrance to the clubhouse on the south side with approaches in and out of the parking lots. Some suggestions were made for changes in the driveways and Mr. Saxon moved that a committee of three be appointed with Mr. Claussen as chairman, Mr. Miller and Mr. McCall, so that this planning can continue and that the Council be kept up to date on it. Mr. Claussen thought the planning of the interior improvements to the entrance way area and breezeway should be combined with the architect's exterior plans. The motion was passed unan- imously. nan-imously. It was suggested that an item be put in the Bulletin asking the residents not to start mowing lawns before 8:00 o'clock in the morning.
