(1) At the last Planning Board meeting consideration was given to a sign erected without permit at the Matchbox novelty shop, 8823 Biscayne Blvd. Action was deferred so that the Board would have an opportunity to look at it. After some discussion Mr. McIntosh moved that the party that has been called for non-conformance is to re -submit a sign to this Board for approval. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer. The petitioner asked if he would be permitted to submit the drawing of the same sign. The motion was then withdrawn and Mr. McIntosh moved that this sign be disapproved and that necessary action be taken by the Building Department to follow up with the non-conformance of a sign as far as our Village ordinances go. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously. (2) Plans were presented for a residence to be built for Dr. J. H. Soutar on Lots A & B, Watersedge Subdivision, at N. Bayshore Drive and 91st Terrace. The Building Inspector brought these plans before the Board because of some unusual features. After a review of the plans Mr. Baden moved that the plans as submitted be approved with the provision that the open balcony be allowed to project only 36 inches into the side setback. Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously. (3) Plans were presented for an addition to the Peoples Bank 2/8/68 -2- at N. E. 95th Street and 2nd Avenue. Mr. Roland Stafford, representing the bank, explained that this will add about one fourth more floor space by extending the second story which will be used for work area only.

Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously. (5) Messrs. Weber and DeMeo returned before the Planning Board at the suggestion of the Council for reconsideration of their "town house" design for. Blocks 19 and 20, El Portal Sub.
