Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously. (1) Mr. Irving Horsey, architect for Tropical Chevrolet, presented a sketch of a proposed service building to be constructed along the Railroad and abutting 87th St. and N. E. 5th Court. The first floor of this building will be for paint and body work, with storage of cars on the second and possibly third story. Mr. Harris thought the open parking garage as proposed would be unattractive and detrimental to the Village. Mr. Arnold also stated he would prefer a closed building. Mr. Moyer asked Mr. Horsey for a rendering of this parking garage to be presented at the next meeting. (2) . A proposal was made for paving the parkway on three sides of the Community Church, providing drainage and improving the parking facilities. Letters had been sent to the property owners in the immediate vicinity, informing them of this proposal. Mr. William Pierce, 453 N. E. 99th St., stated that as a member of the recently appointed Landscape Committee, he would like the committee to consider this parkway in connection with the overall planning. Some of the neighbors stated that the parkway is being continuously torn up by the Village trucks that park there everyday. Mr. Harris stated that he would like to see this go to the landscape committee before it comes to the Planning Board and moved that this matter be deferred for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Board until the first meeting in July. Motion was seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously. (3) Mr. Thomas H. Teasley appeared before the Board informally to discuss a petition to close the unused portion of N. E. 91st Street abutting the west side of the Railroad and a portion of 89th Street • • 6/6/63 -2- on the east and west side of the Railroad. After some discussion Mr. Arnold moved that this be taken direct to the Council. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed 2/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting as he stated he felt it should be brought back to the Planning Board and then taken to the Council. Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Moyer requested that these remarks be added concerning his reasons for voting "No". (1) It wasn't on the agenda, (2) a full Board was not present, (3) one of the Board members had discussed this previously with Mr. Teasley and (4) there was no drawing to find out exactly what was requested and a vote should not have been taken on the subject at that time. The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M. APPROVED: Chairman tdi
