(1) The Board took a complaint concerning Mr. Alan Mandel's
use of the alley running along the west side of his home at 797 N. E. 94th Street.
A wall had been erected along the west side of the alley with part of it
encroaching in the right-of-way and the alley had been paved by Mr. Mandel
for use as a driveway. The Planning Board and Council minutes on this
situation were reviewed, the final action being that the Council approved
paving only the north half of the alley from the intersection of the east/west
alley. No action had been taken on Mr. Mandel's previous request for
permission to close the south portion of the alley or improve it. After dis-
cussion Mr. McIntosh recommended that the Council give serious consider-
ation to being deeded a portion of Mr. Mandel's lot to the north of his home
for a turn -around area in return for Mr. Mandel being granted legally the east
half of the alley running from the middle of Block 67 south, and that the property
owner of Lot 27 in Block 67 being offered the other half of the alley, or have
that party through proper legal means deed the other half to Mr. Mandel, which
will also eliminate the existing liability of a traffic hazard in this alley. This
motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. McIntosh made another moticehat the Board recommend to
the Council that the Building Inspector be advised that there is a violation
of a wall in a public alley and there is a violation of a dangerous elevation
problem in subject alley causing a traffic hazard and that the situation be
corrected immediately. The motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed
unanimously.

(2) Request by Editorial Vida (General Council of Assemblies of
God), 9405 Park Drive, for final approval of parking and landscaping. After
review of the plan Mr. Phoenix moved that it be approved with a wall instead
of a hedge and with the six black olive trees as previously specified. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(3) The signs erected without permit by Mr. Dan Barrie at
8975 N. E. 6th Avenue, were discussed. Mr. Barrie pointed out that the
front of the building was on 6th Avenue which made the signs on the north
and south on the sides of his building and not on the rear. Mr. Phoenix
moved that the Board finds that the south side of the building is a side and
not the rear of the building and that the signs are within the legal limits.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed.
(4) Mr. Charles Huelb, 9001 N. E. 1st Ave. , El Portal, was
present concerning his complaint about the fence at 102 N. E. 91st St. ,
Miami Shores. The B�,iilding Inspector reported that the height of the fence
was 5 ft. at the nor& and 5'3" on the south end and that the setback met our
zoning requirements. Chairman Denham assured Mr. and Mrs. Huelb that
the fence is legal according to our zoning ordinance and that the man who
erected it is within his rights on the setbacks and that if the height is not
correct it should be corrected. The Planning Board made a note to study
fence set backs where the property is on two streets.
(5) Mr. Bob Vickers, 1201 N. E. 101st St., was present to
request the Board to allow him to overlook the landscaping (previously required)
in front of an outside door to his garage because it would infringe on his
children's play area. After discussion Mr. Moyer moved that Mr. Vickers
paint the door the same color as the house, omitting the landscaping. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p. m.
