Planning Board minutes.
Preliminary plans were approved by the Planning Board for 31 two-
bedroom condominium apartments to be constructed by the Russell-Laurence
company on the north side of 105th Street immediately west of the Shores
Condominium. The lot area and off-street parking area more than meet re-
quirements. Special consideration was requested on the tennis courts as to
location and fences, the 6 ft. walls on the street side, curb and gutters on the
north side of the street and club house with manager's apartment in the complex
on the south side of the street. Mr, Claussen suggested delaying action on the

plan and going to 105th Street to view the area because this is a departurefrom
our zoning ordinance. Mr. Claussen then moved that the Council table action
on the Russell-Laurence apartments until the next meeting. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
Paving and Drainage plan for K Mart.
The Council reviewed a drainage plan prepared by D. E. Britt Associ-
ates, engineers, for the K Mart to be constructed east of the Miami Shores
Estates Subdivision. It was pointed out that this plan may alleviate some of
the flooding going into the Miami Shores Estates.
Bessemer Properties' offer to sell Lots 8, 9, 15, 16, Block 31.
The Village Manager read a letter from Bessemer Properties in
which the four above listed parking lots were offered to the Village for
$40, 000. 00. After some discussion, Mr. Claussen moved that the Village
Manager prepare a complete survey of off-street parking for the properties
adjacent to N. E. 2nd Avenue. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed
unanimously.
Bills.
After a review of the current bills, Mr. Clement moved that they be

approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed unanimously.
Mr. Donald W. McIntosh, owner of the south 1/2 of Lot 27 and all of
Lot 28, Block 59, Miami Shores Sub. , petitioned the Council to vacate that
portion of N. E. 91st Street lying between Park Drive and the F. E. C. Railroad
right-of-way. This request was made so that he may provide some offstreet

parking for his present professional office building and a proposed addition.
It was suggested that Mr. McIntosh first get in touch with the property owner
of the land to the south to see if he has any objection to this plan.
Mr. Claussen asked to amend the action taken at the last meeting in
regard to Chief Fowler's salary because the Council was not aware of the full
amount of salary Mr. Fowler had been getting. He then moved to amend the
action of the last meeting to increase Chief Fowler's salary to $11, 000. 00.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Lund and passed by three affirmative votes with
Mr. Clement abstaining.
A letter was received from William H. Pierce, Chairman of the
Civic Affairs Committee of the Miami Shores Chamber of Commerce, inviting
the Council to attend a meeting on March 31st at the Country Club to meet the
candidates running for Council.
