The preliminary draft of the Urban Planning Assistance Project
for Miami Shores was discussed. The Village Manager reported that he had
made an appointment at 4:00 P. M. Wed. , June 22nd, with Mr. Reginald Walters,
Dade County Planning Director, to go over this draft and answer any questions,
and Mr. McCall stated he would like to have the Council present. The Council
will then have to decide what it wants and enter into an agreement with the
State. The Village Manager stated he would make a recommendation by the

action taken at the last meeting in regard to the home to be built on parts of

objected to moving or re-designing the house to allow a 20 ft. setback on
96th Street because he contended it would spoil the design of the house and
roof separation to move the front in and there was only one foot to the south
to spare if the entire plan is moved back. After discussion Mr. Dixon moved
that we rescind the action of the Council at the last meeting and approve the
action of the Planning and Zoning Board subject to a 17 ft. setback on 96th St.
and removal of the tree shown on the drawing in the parking area in front of
the home. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed 4/1 with Mr. Lund
dissenting.
The Council was reminded of the meeting of the Dade League of
Municipalities to be held at the Miami Shores Country Club on June 29th.
Unfinished Business;

was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
(b) Community House improvements - awaiting word from
Bessemer Properties on the deed restrictions.

Mr. Jones asked the Council to consider in the next budget some
way we might help the Chamber of Commerce secure a place to meet.
Mr. Lund again brought up the subject of boats being parked in
front yards and side yards of corner properties. After discussing the in-
adequacy of the present regulations Mr. Lund moved that the section of the
ordinance concerning boat storage in front and side yards be submitted to the
Planning Board for review and recommendation with the idea in mind of making
it uniform for all property owners in the Shores. The motion was seconded by
Mr. Dixon and passed unanimously.
Mr. Dixon mentioned the report received concerning the County-wide
library system and moved that the Council refer this proposal to the Library
Board for their consideration and recommendations only. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Lund and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 4:55 P. M.
