given by Rev. Richard Sparks of the Miami Shores Baptist Church.
Minutes of the meeting of May 21, 1968, were approved as written
by motion made by Mr. Dixon, seconded by Mr. Claussen and passed.
Stobs-Lafferty apartment project proposal.
Mr. Dixon moved that the action of the Planning and Zoning Board
in approving the variances requested for this project be reversed. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Clement.
Mr. Dixon stated that he certainly agrees that it is a worthwhile
endeavor and certainly worthwhile use of the property in question, that it
would represent an improvement and benefit the entire neighborhood, but
the variances requested are more than he can justify or agree to under the
circumstances. He concluded that this is something that should and probably
will be covered by our long range planning study of the area.

Mr. Lund stated that based upon our present ordinance and in the
absence of any guidance to assist us in approving something of this nature
in the number of units, parking requirements, setbacks, etc. , he could not
vote to approve it.
Mr. Clement stated that he could not vote for the variances involved.
The motion passed by four affirmative votes with Mr. Claussen
abstaining. Mayor Cole asked the Village Manager to check into the dis-
crepancies between the A-1 and A-2 regulations and report back to the Council.
In the discussion that followed Mr. Lafferty asked the Council for
an expression as to whether or not they would approve a 60 unit building of
only three stories (instead of the proposed 80 unit four-story building).
Mr. Claussen moved that the Council reconsider this zoning request. Motion
died for lack of a second. Further discussion of the project was to be de-
ferred until last on the agenda.
