Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, arrived late.
The meeting was opened by Mayor Claussen and the invocation
given by Councilman Raymond L. Clement.
The Village Manager introduced Mr. John Green who has
recently been hired by the County Manager as a liaison or coordinator of
city and county affairs.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved by motion made by
Mr. Clement, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
Items (1) and (2) of the Planning Board minutes concerned requests
to build on Lots 22 and 20, Block 49, which are 50 ft. lots on either side of
469 N. E. 91 st Street. Mr. Jones moved that we delay action on these requests
until we have a full Council. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed
unanimously.
Mrs. Carlton Hayward asked to be heard and stated that "the
Miami Shores Tax Payers League by resolution passed last meeting encourages
4/19/66
the Village Council to deny application for construction of single family
homes on lots having frontage of less than 75 ft. "
The sign approved by the Planning Board for the Bayshore Radio
& TV store at 9536 N. E. 2nd Ave. was discussed with regard to interpretation
of the sign regulations as to whether or not a sign is permitted on a cantilever
and extending out from the wall of the building. The Village Manager felt this
sign did not require a variance. No action was taken. Mr. Lund thought the
ordinance should be reviewed and changed if necessary.
A check was received from the Miami Shores Woman's Club in
the amount of $500. 00, to be used for cost of the Veterans monument recently
ordered by the Village. The Mayor expressed gratitude and appreciation to
the Woman's Club on behalf of the Council and Mr. Lund moved that the Council
accept this contribution and that an appropriate resolut'= be prepared for the
next Council meeting. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unan-
imously.
A final bill was received from Mr. Anderson in the amount of
$2, 423. 01 for legal services and expenses in connection with the Country Club
