The meeting was called to order at 5:35 p.m. by Assistant Mayor Hirschl. The roll was called and those present were: Also present: Assistant Mayor Andrew R. Hirschl Councilman Matthew B. Blank Councilman James E. Boggess Carole S. Morris, Village MFanager Jeanette Horton, Village Clerk Richard J. Weiss, Village Attorney Absent: Mayor Estelle Stern Councilman Sol M. Taplin As a quorum was determined to be present, the meeting commenced. 2. Public Hearing: Owner of the property located at Lot 10 Ocean Front Section of Bay Harbor, more commonly known as 10101 Collins Avenue, is seeking a variance of Section 21-294 of the Bal Harbour Village Code to permit the model building, currently existing, to reduce the front setback to 10' and the side setback to 10'. This request also provides for issuance of permits for the model building prior to issuance of permits for the main structure. Mrs. Morris explained the original variance- expired on June 1st. One of the conditions of the variance was the principal building now existing on the property must be demolished on or before that date or this approval automatically terminates and the model building must be immediately removed. The applicant, represented by their attorney Lou Supraski, explained that the delay of the demolition of the Regency site has been due to Government Ordinance requiring the removal of all asbestos and contaminated material present at the location. In order to comply with this Ordinance they would need an extension of two to three weeks. Councilman Boggess stated that Mr. Oren, owner of the Palace, set date of June 1st not the Council. Mr. Oren replied at that time he did not realize the extent of the asbestos in the building, and went on to explain the procedure that must be used when demolishing a building with this material. Assistant Mayor Hirschl stated Mrs. Morris requested the Building Official to contact the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation who has furnished the Village with a copy of the Notification of Demolition and Renovation permit. As per the permit scheduled dates for asbestos removal start April 13, 1992 with completion July 13, 1992. Mrs. Morris has spoken to Mr. Wong of the Florida Department of Environmental Regulation and he stated Mr. Oren completed the removal of the asbestos three weeks ago. Assistant Mayor Hirschl stated since the asbestos is already removed the balance of the building should be demolished within two or three days. Mr. Oren replied must be very careful of model center when demolishing the Regency, therefore would be unable to complete in that time period. Assistant Mayor Hirschl questioned Mr. Weiss if the, model center could be removed under the current variance and no further variances could be applied for this property. Mr. Weiss replied they cannot prevent owner from applying for another variance but can instruct the Village Manager to enforce the conditions of variances granted. Mrs. Morris stated they need a firm date for demolition of building and removal of trash. Mr. Weiss stated under present variance the Village Manager has the ability to remove the model center and charge the cost against the bond the Village is holding. Mr. Grove, Manager of the Ba1 Harbour Towers, stated residents are asking questions about noise and dust, and he would like to be able to inform them of a definite date on removal of trash and when the building will be demolished. A motion was offered by Councilman Blank and seconded by Councilman Boggess that the building be demolished above ground by 5:30 p.m. July 3 and trash removed by 5:30 p.m. August 7th. If all conditions are not met, the Village Manager. and Village Attorney are authorized to demolish the model center. The motion carried (3-0) with Mayor Stern and Councilman Taplin absent. A motion to amend was offered by Councilman Boggess and seconded by Councilman Blank that if all conditions are not met a penalty of $1,000 per day would be assessed payable to the employees performance fund. The motion carried (3-0) with Mayor Stern and Councilman Taplin absent. 3. Recycling: Mrs. Morris stated she received proposal from Community Recycling and Waste Management of Dade County South.

The monthly collection fee would be $1,679.60 and additional or new service would be charged at a rate of $3.23 per cubic yard. Public Works Department: If the Village would undertake the collection the cost would be for one front loading garbage truck $85,000, estimated annual maintenance cost $3,452,. purchase of recycling containers $15,000 plus annual cost to maintain and replace $1,000. Mrs. Morris stated she will present a plan of action at the July 21st Council meeting. 4. Other Business: State Revolving Loan/Sewer Station Mrs. Morris explained Amendment 2 to the State Revolving Fund Loan agreement for the Sewer Station Rehabilitation if approved amends the original agreement by adjusting the balance of the loan to reflect last year's payment, therefore reducing the loan payment to be made this year.
