At the Planning Board meeting of September 10, 1964, a recommend-
ation was made for a variance to allow a 60 unit apartment building to be
built on the land now occupied by the Mt. Vernon Motel. Mr. A. M. Schwitalla,

may complete some changes in the plan to raise two wings of the building
and provide parking underneath. In view of the change in plan the Council
instructed that it go back to the Planning Board.

Copies of the First Research Corporation survey of the N. E. 2nd
Ave. business area, were at hand for any of the Councilmen who had not
read it. The Village Manager asked if the Council wished to meet with the
Chamber of Commerce concerning this report. Mr. Jones moved that we
inform the Chamber of Commerce when their committee has analyzed the
survey to their satisfaction, if they have any questions and would like to have
an audience with the Council that we would be at their disposal. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed unanimously.
The Village Manager reported on a recent report received from
the Metropolitan Dade County Planning Department which proposed that all
municipalities make annual reports to Dade County on proposed capital
improvements of $10, 000 or more so they may be properly coordinated
within the County. The Council was aksed to comment on this plan. After
discussion in which some members of the Council stated that they did not
feel they could approve procedures without knowing how they will affect
Miami Shores, Mr. Claussen moved that the Council instruct the Village
Manager and Village Attorney to compose a letter in answer to the Coordinated
Capital Improvements procedures expressing the Council's sentiments.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
