Mayor A,TtjTt �1 eW'e Village Clerk Novemher_15, 1953 � e: December 13, 1958 The Council of Bal Harbour Village met at 9130 o'clock December 13, 1958. There were presents Messrs. Beatty, Broeman, Brown, and Faulkner. Absents Mr. Hart Also present were Mr. W. H. Webb, Village Manager; Mary Wetterer, Village Clerk; and Thos. H. Anderson, Village Attorney. The minutes of the meeting of November 15, 1958 were accepted on motion of Mr. Broeman and seconded by Mr. Faulkner. Mr. Broeman suggested that the Council hear the indivi— duals present representing various concerns rather than follow— ing the Agenda. 26 Mr. Leonard H. Wolf, Attorney for the Robin Enterprises, Inc. and Albert Enterprises, Inc., owners of Tracts C, D, & E of the Ocean Front Addition to Ba1 Harbour, appeared before the Council concerning our recent order to remove temporary buildings from the above described property. He gave a brief summary of who the principals are that are interested in constructing apartment buildings on said Tracts. After considerable discussion regarding the scope of the project in which Mr. Wolf outlined the approximate cost of the first builoing to be $8,000,000. and have 350 rental units he pointed out that it was very necessary that the owning corporation be allowed to move into one of the temporary buildings in order to carry on the activity of renting the units during the course of construction. Mr. Wolf also introduced Mr. Sol Taplin, secretary of the two corporations, who also requested that the Council give consideration to their request that the temporary buildings be allowed to remain until construction starts. At this point Mr. Webb, Village Manager, warned the Council that if these buildings are allowed to remain at their present location that they may be an "eye —sore" to Bal Harbour for 5 or 6 years. Mr. Beatty moved "that the present temporary buildings be allowed to remain for a maximum of ninety (90) days, but not later than April 1, 1959, on condition that if a permit is taken out in the interval the temporary buildings be allowed to remain for one year; said buildings to be beauti— fied upon advice of the Village Manager; and it is also understood and agreed that no work or any sales efforts be permitted on the premises until such time as a permit is issued and construction of the main building is actually started". The motion was seconded by Mr. Faulkner and upon vote was unanimously carried. Mr. Wolf asked that a copy of said motion be mailed to him and Mayor Brown requested that Mr. Wolf, upon receiving same, confirm the Council's action by letter to Mr. Webb. The next order of business was a request by Stanley Whitman to be allowed to appear concerning the removal of the temporary. frame barracks building that still exists on his property, known as Area 5 of Ba1 Harbour Business Section. Mr. Whitman explained to the Council that he has every reason to believe that his construction program might get under way in the very near future and requested the Council to reconsider their recent order to remove said barracks building. Whereupon Mr. Broeman moved "that Mr. Whitman be given ninety (90) days to take out a building permit and begin actual construction on his Business Section or the temporary buildings must be torn down. Mr. Whitman must get with Mr. Webb, the Village Manager, regarding the tearing down of that part of the building that is f ailing down, and beautify remaining section". Said motion was seconded by Mr. Beatty and upon vote was passed unanimously. December 1,, 1.958 27 In this regard the Mayor also asked that Mr. Webb notify Mr. Whitman and ask for a letter confirming Mr. Whitman's understanding of this action. Mr. Brown then called upon Mr. Fred Baisden, Attorney for Kenilworth Properties, to present an Amendment to the Kenilworth Agreement discussed at the November meeting. Mr. Baisden explained that this Amendment simply modifies the original Agreement and will allow the encroachment to exist over both properties. If said Agreement is violated within the next 11 years, said interval being the remainder of the Kirkeby Lease, the hotel will bear the expense of removal of the encroachments and Bal Harbour Village will have the authority to place a lien against said property which would give ample security to any mover going in at the Village Manager's instructions. After some discussion, Mr. Broeman moved that Bal Harbour Village Council accept the Modifi— cation of Agreement between Kenilworth Hotel Inc., Kenil— worth House, Inc., and Bal Harbour Village; a copy of which is on file in the Village Clerk's office. Said motion was seconded by Mr. Beatty and when placed for vote, passed unanimously. The new Taxi Ordinance was discussed for the second time and it was decided that it be brought up at the January meeting for final passage. The new Trash Disposal Ordinance requested by the Village Manager has been deferred until the January meeting inasmuch as said ordinance has not been put in final form by Mr. Anderson's office. Mr. Webb requested permission to discuss the Baker's Haulover Survey Report recently received by his office from the U. S. Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville, Fla. Mr. Webb indicated that said report, which has been in the process of being completed since the 1946 hearing, is favorable and briefly describes that the Federal Government will furnish one—half of the approximate cost of $478,000. estimate if the remaining half is financed by Dade County. The portion of the report that affects Bal Harbour Village is the Govern— ment's recommendation that dredging be done immediately from the Bay area to replenish the sand starved beaches in front of Bal Harbour. As a result of said discussion Mr. Broeman suggested that a committee should go before the Dade County Commissioners to attempt to get something done right away. It was his idea that we should help sell Metro on the idea that the improvement would be self—supporting. Mr. Beatty felt that we should ask the County to do something immediately and, if after the meeting with the County Commission, no action is forthcoming, he recommended that one of our private property owners be instructed to start suit. The Village Manager was instructed tb request that the Council be placed on the County Commission Agenda some time during the second week in January. December 13, 1953 28 An Amendment to Liquor Ordinance No. 6 was presented and upon motion of Mr. Broeman and seconded by Mr. Beatty it was unanimously moved that the following ordinance be adopted. ORDINANCE NO. 67 "AN ORDINANCE OF BAL HARBOUR VILLAGE, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 4(c) OF ORDINANCE NO. 6 ENTITLED LIQUOR LICENSE ORDINANCE". The next order of business was a motion by Mr. Broeman that the Council accept the application of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth C. Gifford, the new owners of the Colonnade Hotel, for a transfer of their liquor license from the John C. Fisbeck, Inc. to them as individuals. Said motion was seconded by Mr. Beatty and passed unanimously. There being no further business, Mr. Broeman made a motion that the Council adjourn. This motion was seconded by Mr. Beatty.
