REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
October 17, 1967
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Council was held
at 7:30 o'clock P. M. , October 17, 1967, at the Village Hall, with the follow-
ing Councilmen present:
Raymond L. Clement
Richard M. Lund
James A. Dixon, Jr.
Absent: Mayor Edwin B. Cole
Dean R. Claussen
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
In the absence of the Mayor, Mr. Dixon was asked to take the
chair. Rev. Bill Norris of the Miami Shores Christian Church gave the
invocation.
Minutes of the public hearing on the 1967-68 budget were approved
as written by motion made by Mr. Clement, seconded by Mr. Lund and
passed. Minutes of the special-meeting of September 28, 1967 to adopt the
budget were approved by motion made by Mr. Lund, seconded by Mr. Clement
and passed. Minutes of the regular meeting of October 3, 1967 were also
approved as written by motion made by Mr. Clement, seconded by Mr. Lund
and passed unanimously.
Minutes of the last Planning Board meeting disclosed that the
Board went on record as approving the concept of "town houses" for the
unplatted property on N. E. 105th Street immediately west of the Shores
Condominium. This recommendation to the Council was the result of a
10/17/6770
public hearing held on June Z6, 1967, to consider a request for this type
of zoning. In the Planning Board's deliberations it was suggested that a
meeting be held with the Council and the City Attorney for further discussion.
Mr. Clement moved that the Council hold a joint meeting with the Planning
and Zoning Board and have Mr. Anderson present at that meeting. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Lund. In the discussion that followed Mr. Craig Burton,
representing the owner of the property in question, stated that they had con-
sulted two attorneys and now feel that if they brought a set of plans into the
Building Department and if they conform to density and building requirements
and had a building under one roof, that a permit could not be denied. Mr.
Burton stated that all they are looking for as owners of this property is the
feeling that the Council and the Planning Board are in agreement that they
can build "town houses". They would like the support of the Council for
"town houses" so that the owners of the land would be able to tell developers
that they can build "town houses". Mr. Burton continued that they are no
longer seeking a variance to plat the lots. They now feel it can be developed
with "town houses" on a condominium basis.
Mr. Lund stated he felt we should still have our meeting because
if we had a "town house" ordinance we could have a lot more restrictions on
what could go up on that property and probably would have a nicer street
than would be allowed for an apartment complex. The motion for a joint
meeting with the Planning Board and City Attorney was then passed unanimously.
At the last Planning Board meeting approval was given to Dr.
Marvin Hall to make an addition to Ws building at 9200 N. E. 6th Ave. This
10/17/67 SO
-3-
request had been approved by the Council five years ago and was re-submitted
made
for confirmation as the addition had not been/at that time. Dr. Hall also
asked permission for paving three parking spaces on street. After a review
of the plan Mr. Lund moved that the action of the Planning Board be approved.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
The Council was again reminded of the Florida League of
Municipalities meeting to be held at the Diplomat Hotel October 22 - 24.
The Village Manager reported that the Florida League of
Municipalities dues have been raised from $375. 00. to $500. 00 since the
1967-68 budget appropriation. Mr. Lund moved that we pay the increased
membership dues in the Florida League and take the necessary $125. 00 from
the Contingent Fund. Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and passed
unanimously.
A bill from the Chamber of Commerce which had been previously
discussed at Council meetings was again presented. This bill in the amount
of $75. 67 the Chamber claims is the balance due for pictures printed in the
Chamber brochure. No action was taken.
After a review of the current bills Mr. Clement moved that they
be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed unanimously.
