There were present: Messrs. Beatty, Broeman and Hart.
Absent: Messrs. Brown and Graham.
Also present were: W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary
Wetterer, Village Clerk; and Thomas Anderson, Village Attorney.
In the absence of Mayor Brown, the Assistant Mayor,
Mr. Hart conducted the meeting.
On motion of Mr. Beatty, seconded by Mr. Broeman, the
minutes of the last regular meeting held November 23, 1957
and the special meeting of December 7, 1957 were approved as
submitted.
Mr. Webb read a letter written by Mr. Anderson to Chairman
Cowart of the Dade County Commission calling their attention to
the state of repair of the bulkhead at Baker's Haulover and ask—
ing them to take care of this matter.
Application was made by Checker Rent-A—Car, Inc. for five
permits at the Beau Rivage Hotel. On motion of Mr. Broeman,
seconded by Mr. Beatty, the application was approved.
Mr. Webb read a letter from Mr. Wendler, Mayor of Surfside,
inviting the council to a tour of their new building at some
future date.
Mr. Broeman asked if the sign at the Americana driveway was
in accordance with our regulations and Mr. Webb said that type
of entrance sign was covered in our sign ordinance.
Mr. Beatty wanted to know if a permit had been issued for
the addition to the Americana Hotel and Mr. Webb said that would
not be issued until April. Mr. Beatty said he wished to go on
record as being opposed to the Village granting a permit for
this addition and in his opinion the use of the convention hall
for parking is not valid and circumvents our regulations. He
stated that he thinks we have a bad parking situation in the
hotel district and this will accentuate the situation. Mr. Ander—
son said that Mr. Beatty was entitled to his opinion, but that
the Village would be liable for a law suit if the permit was not
granted. In his opinion, the parking regulations meet our ordi—
nance requirements.
There being no further business before the meeting, on
motion of Mr. Broeman, seconded by Mr. Beatty, the meeting was
adjourned.
