Mr. Baden stated as outgoing Chairman he would write Mr. Arnold a letter on behalf of the Board in appreciation of his many years of service on the Planning Board. Nominations were then called for a new Chairman and Mr. Don Hoefle was named upon motion made by Mr. McIntosh, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed. Mr. Hoefle then took the chair. (1) At the last Planning Board meeting discussion arose over the right-of-way in front of the Pure Oil Station and the Texaco Station at 87th Street and Biscayne Blvd. Because of a wider dedication in front of the Pure Oil Station the sidewalks bordering these stations along Biscayne Blvd. do not line up and the Texaco Station has erected a planter at the end of the Pure Oil sidewalk. The Building Inspector reported that the State Road Department did not have any records on these rights-of-way but the County records show a 35 ft. dedication in front of the Texaco Station and a 45 ft. dedication in front of the Pure Oil Station. The extra ten feet had been given to the Village at the time the station was originally constructed. Mr. Anderson stated that it appears there is a legal problem involved in this case. Mr. Baden moved that we recommend to the Council that they take action to correct this situation. He stated that it not only looks • • 10/26/67 -2- irregular and doesn't fit the appearance of Miami. Shores but there is the practical problem as well. Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously. A vote of commendation was expressed to Mr. Tom Baden as retiring chairman. (2) At this point the three Councilmen present, Messrs. Clement, Dixon and Lund and the Village Attorney joined the Planning Board in an informal discussion of town house zoning. In this discussion Mr. Anderson recommended that a nationally known planner and recognized expert be employed to make a recommendation to the Council concerning town houses. Mr. McIntosh stated that it was the Board's intention that the requested survey should be made all over the Village. Mr. Baden stated that after hearing the discussion he would like to move that we recommend to the Council that they take action to have a study made by a recognized authority or firm to study the feasibility of allowing town houses on this 105th Street property. Mr. McIntosh asked that an amendment be made to this motion for a land use study of Miami Shores Village. This was accepted by Mr. Baden. Mr. McIntosh then seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:20 P. M. Approved: Chairman 9eZ-Le�,, )
