Report by Mr. Anderson on public hearing notification procedure.
It was Mr. Anderson's advice that in cases of comprehensive
changes the entire Village should be notified in the bulletin with date of
public presentation and subsequently set up the usual procedure for the pro-
posed district zoning changes. The Village Attorney further stated that
certified mail could be used in lieu of registered mail and that the public
meeting should be held jointly with the Planning Board and the Council.
Carpet for club house dining room.
Mr. Wes Dunaway presented two plans for carpeting the dining
room floor, one with a permanent dance floor of teak parquet, 1113" x 18'
in the amount of $6, 802. 50, and the other with a dance floor 2216" x 181,
in the amount of $7, 002. 50. Mr. Dunaway was asked to call three or four
other clubs to check size of dance floors.
Club house drainage.
Mr. Claussen reported that following the flooding of the lockerroom
it had been suggested that if a good drainage system can be installed outside
it might reduce the water table near the club house and eliminate a build up
of water pressure. The Village Manager presented a plan drawn by the Building
Dept. Director which had been approved by Mr. Bergacker, a resident engineer
with the City of Miami Beach, and a copy had also been given to Mr. James O.
Denham, another engineer living in the Village, for his recommendations.
Mr. Claussen moved that the Council approve this plan in principle and that it
be referred to the Manager for further report and prices on an automatic pump.
