(1) A request was made by Electro Neon Sign Co. to erect a sign on the back of the Danish Bakery at 9046 Biscayne Blvd. This sign is similar ft/the signs approved for Publix and Eckerd Drugstore in the same complex.

The Board discussed the 7 ft. chain link fence that is proposed to enclose this house and the setbacks. Mr. Baden moved that the request for a plant ho se be approved as submitted. Motion died for lack of a second. Mr.movesdthat if the applicants can wait possibly until the next meeting we will take this up with our consultants for some type of counter proposal that might solve the problem and in the meantime they should have an elevation made of what is proposed on 96th Street along with a detailed set of plans. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden who added that due to the nature of the Mercer Seed business that it justified our consideration of this request, especially in the absence of any zoning requirements on this request. Motion was passed unanimously. (3) Request for rebuilding the Mt. Vernon Motel site was again before the Board, with a plan for 59 units requiring a total of 121, 000 sq. ft. of lot area with only 63, 276 available. The Planning Board referred this request to our panning consultants, Harland Bartholomew & Associates, who 6/12/69 -2- advised in a letter dated June 2, 1969, that " Restriction of Block 64 to a maximum of 30 units should provide adequate setback from Biscayne Blvd. for some degree of relief from traffic noise and provide access to parking areas from 92nd and 93rd Streets and 8th Avenue, permitting closing of the present direct access to Biscayne Blvd. " Mr. McIntosh stated that, based on the consultant's letter and based upon the views of the present owner, he would move that the Board recommend consideration of this project not to exceed 50 units, provided prior approval is secured of all the necessary Metropolitan Dade County departments before it comes back to this Board another time. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously. (4) A request was made by Hi -Yo -Co. Groves, Inc. , owners of the property at 90th Street and N.

(6) The Budget -Rent-A-Car request was tabled as no further word had been received from the applicants. (7) Final plans were received for the apartment complex to be built on Blocks 19 and 20, El Portal Subdivision.
