January 4, 1971 meeting:
(1) The Planning Board approved a prefabricated aluminum and
vinyl swimming pool to be installed by Dysart Pool company at 230 N. E.
104th Street, subject to certain conditions as outlined by Metro Dade County.

Shores Sub. , was denied by the Planning Board. This 50 ft, lot is part of the
property owned by Mr. Grover, located at 185 N. E. 100th Street, Lots 22, 23
and the east 1/2 of 21, Miami Shores Sub. The denial by the Planning Board
was based on the premise that this is not an isolated lot and does not meet
the requirements as set forth in previous applications for permits to build on
50 ft. lots. Mr. Korner was present to appeal the Planning Board decision and
cited Ordinance No. 288 as authority for compliance with this petition. After
further discussion Mr. Claussen moved that the matter be tabled until the next
Council meeting. The motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
January 14, 1971 meeting:
(1) A variance in area requirement was approved by the Planning
Board for the Brynwood condominium apartment at 1330 N. E. 1051h Street,
Lots 7B and 8B, Anco Subdivision, to permit a card room to be converted into
an additional apartment, adding 1800 sq. ft. to the original variance, making
a total of approximately 9% in excess of the density limitation. Mr. William
Pierce presented this petition on behalf of the owners of the apartment. After
discussion Mr. Claussen moved that the Council grant the variance required
to change the card room into a one bedroom apartment. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.
(2) The Planning Board approved a request by Rimers Cleaners
to locate their cleaning establishment in the Kwik Chek shopping center at
9071 Biscayne Blvd. , providing only 1500 sq. ft. of the store area are used
for the cleaning plant. This action was sustained by the Council upon motion
made by Mr. Claussen, seconded by Mr. Jones and carried.

(3) The Planning Board also approved a request made by Mr. and
Mrs. Bernard R. Firestone, 451 N. E. 91st Street, to close in their garage
to provide additional living area, providing they certify to the Village that
this improvement will not be used for rental purposes. The letter certifying
this intent filed with the Building Department was not acceptable to the Council
and preparation of an affidavit was referred to the Village Attorney. Mr.
Claussen moved that action on this item be tabled until the next meeting and
that the form be revised by the Village Attorney. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Clement and passed unanimously.

exceed $625. 00. Upon motion made by Mr. Claussen, seconded by Mr. Jones

Manager's report on the need of a new airconditioning
cooling tower at the Country Club.
The Manager reported that the air conditioning service company
at the Club has recommended a new cooling tower and that it now looks like
we will need a new roof. It was requested that the tower bids be held in
abeyance until the roof is checked.
Councilman Jones requested that a report be submitted on the
capital improvements and major repairs to the club house during the last
ten years.
Recommendation that the lot cleaning fee be raised from
12� a front foot to 25� a front foot.

pated in the preparation of the budget and that the cost of the service warranted
the increase. Mr. Claussen moved that the increase be approved, to be
effective as of January 1, 1971. Motion was seconded by Mr. Clement and
