Attorneys for Mrs. Philomena Hanley requested reconsideration of the application for permit to build on Lot 1, Block 2, Hamilton Terrace Sub. , a 50 ft. lot on the southwest corner of 101st St. and Miami Ave. Mr. Claussen stated that based on our zoning ordinance which clearly permits this type of request, "I move we rescind the action taken two weeks ago in respect to this application. " Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously. Mr. Claussen then moved that the Council approve the plan as submitted for Lot 1, Block 2, Hamilton Terrace Sub. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously. The Village Manager read a resolution received from North Miami 3/16/6518 -2- concerning their request that the Flood Control District install a boat lift over the dam in Biscayne Canal in the Village golf course. The Council discussed this matter but felt it would not be feasible because of the way the dam is constructed. No action was taken on the resolution. A resolution was received from the Town of West Miami con- cerning the Metro penal ordinance. The Village Manager reported that the League of Municipalities is going to take action on a similar resolution. The Council deferred action until the League makes its proposal. A proposal was made to employ a professional engineer to survey the standing water situation at 1097 N. E. 98th St. The Village Manager reported on the condition at this location and recommended that an engineering survey be made. He added that there is another location on 92nd St. in the 1200 block that needs attention. Mr. McCall estimated that it would cost a couple hundred dollars for the survey. Mr. Miller moved that the Council employ an engineer to wake a survey of these two locations. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.

E. 2nd Ave. , which had been requested by many people 3/16/65 ® -4- because of the traffic hazard. Mr. McCall stated he had not decided on where to re-locate it.
