months' extension on the Janis sign because he felt the permit should terminate
February 1st, 1965. Mr. Miller then moved that the minutes be accepted as
corrected. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
A petition was received from 7 people living along the south side of
N. E. 103rd St. between 1st and 2nd Avenues, requesting that streets lights be
installed in the alley. The Village Manager stated that this request is contrary
to Village policy of putting lights only on the streets. The Council agreed that
the policy shouldn't be changed but if these people have the approval of all
neighbors affected and want to put in their own street lights, they should be
allowed to do so.

stated that the vacant property north of the Country Club was no longer being

iation concerning the Metro proposal to adopt a county-wide penal ordinance

this resolution. Motion was seconded by Mr., Jones and passed unanimously.
It was reported that the Biscayne Cafeteria has purchased the 50 ft.
lot immediately west of the alley on the north side of N. E. 99th St, and they
have offered to pay for the paving of the adjoining 50 ft, lot owned by Mr.
Dunning. Mr. Dunning has been considering the donation of this lot to the
Village and would like an expression from the Village in case of donation to
the effect that the lot could be used to meet parking requirements when and if
he constructs a building on the vacant portion of the southwest corner of 99th
St. and N. E. 2nd Ave. Mr. Claussen moved that the Council authorize the
Village Manager to send a letter or agreement to Mr. Dunning to assure him,
if the lot is donated to the Village, of being allowed a certain amount of parking
on the requirements of any future building erected on the southwest corner of
99th St, and 2nd Ave., Motion was seconded by Mr. Miller and passed unanimously.

now and January lst was approved by motion made by Mr. Jones, seconded
by Mr. Saxon and passed unanimously.
