(1) Mr. V. J. Knezevich, 711 N. E. 93rd Street, requested
permit to convert his garage into a study and utility room. This alteration
calls for blocking in the garage door and installing a new side door with
access into the utility room. After a review of the plans Mr. Phoenix moved
that the permit be granted to convert the garage into a utility room and den
for Mr. Knezevich's personal use, providing he files an affidavit with the
Building Department that it will never be used for rental purposes. The
motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously.

extension to the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church parking area based on
tearing down the old Renuart building at the corner of 96th Street and Park
Drive. Mr. Walker also explained that the church would like to build
a new building for youth activities in place of the old mill building south of
95th Street, if the convenant on the 95th Street right-of-way abutting the Railroad
can be removed and the property purchased from Bessemer Properties.
Mr. McIntosh moved that the Board recommend that the Council pass an
ordinance or resolution necessary to rescind and withdraw Section 1. of Ordin-
ance #155, predicated on the proposal that the church will remove the existing
structure fronting on 96th Street between Park Drive and the railroad within
one year. The motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed unanimously.
Action on the parking plan was deferred pending this action.

Occupancy on any unit. The motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and
carried.

better traffic pattern and increased parking space along Park Drive by

is designed to relieve traffic congestion at this location and provide more
parking. The motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously.
