September 18, 1951
Mr. Thomas P. Coogan, Pres.,
The Bal Harbour Club, Inc.,
10201 Collins Avenue,
Bel"Harbour.
Miami Beach 41,Florida.
Dear Mr, Coogan:
n,
At a meeting of the Village Council held on September 17,
I was instructed, as Mayor of Bal Harbour Village; to clarify
severar references to the Village made in a letter mailed to
You and all other Bel Harbour Club members by Mr. Heaarld Li
Barnes in May of tiiis year.
Council felt.that, since certain matters relating tip tbe.
1i11age„Were discussed in:this letter, you should be furntibed
with complete informatiha in rahtion to these matters, iChuncil
also felt that since Mr. Barnes, letter was addressed only to
Bal Harbour Club members, and not to all taxpayers do Bat Her -
bent, that the reply of`the Village should be,directed to you
for dissemination to the membership of the Club as you may see
fit.
In paragraph three of the cover letter dated May 9, Mr. Barnes
states that all Village matters, except the Business Section,
are satisfactorily settled. In paragraph four reference is made
to Item 2 of the original letter covering the Business Section
matter.
It is my understanding that the objectionable parking area
referred to was permitted by Miami Beach Heights, Inc., in an
effort to help the Sea View Hotel handle an overflow of cars
theywere unable to cope with last winter until they could pur-
chase and pave a suitable area adjacent to the hotel. The Sea
'View corporation has purchased additional land to the north of
their present property and are proceeding with plans to provide
the additional parking needed to comply with the. Bel Herbal=
