Mr. Taplin agreed that it was impossible to accommodate employees' and visitors' cars at the buildings with the ratio of one parking space for one living unit. He stated the apartment buildings actually tried discouraging people from visiting their tenants due to parking problems. Mr. Paul Brown, a resident of the Harbour House, said this was a very serious problem and hoped the Council could do something for them. Mr. Hart suggested Mr. Landis look into this further and approach the owner of Lot 1, Block 8A, to see if a parking facility might be financed by private funds or if he would be willing to sell the lot to the Village. There being no further business on motion ❑f Mr. White, seconded by Mr. Faulkner, the meeting was adjourned.

Mr. Sherman Winn of the Balmoral Hotel appeared to show the Council some photographs of their present cabanas and renderings of the proposed lanai hotel rooms. He asked if the Council would consider a variance for this change. Mr. Landis said that in view of these being beyond the set -back line and addi- tional parking involved he was not in favor of it. Mr. Webb stated that he had informed the Council by letter that the Deed Restrictions do not permit anything but cabanas beyond the front set -back line and also the Zoning Ordinance expressly states that cabanas cannot be used for living purposes. Mr. Winn thanked the Council for their consideration and asked if the Village Manager would send him a ropy of the excerpts from the Deed Restrictions and Toning Ordinance just quoted so that he could have something to present to the owners.

He explained the type of operation and physical arrangement of the restaurant facility. mr. Hart said they would prefer to vote on this matter with a full Council and asked mr.

Mr. Senerchia's office had called to say mr. Senerchia advised against it. mr. Webb also said mr. Gr4ene, assistant to the County manager, had been checking on this after his meeting with the Council last .month and had advised that the County Public Works Dept, had no objection to this appropriation. Mr. Anderson said the ordinance to permit licensing of boats would be ready for May 28th. mr. Landis reported that he had contacted Mr. Ralph Scott, President of the Ba1 Harbour Club, with reference to the possibility of setting up a parking area on Lot 1 Block 8A. He said he had been informed by the Club Secretary that the Board would take no action until the need for such parking had been verified by Mr. Webb. As he had not been able to contact Mr. Marquardt, the lot owner, no further action had been taken. He requested this be tabled for May 28th. Mr. Webb said he had the 'figures for the proposed work to resurface the Village streets and a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $1,000 additional for the feathering out of the low places.

Mr. Webb said that our hospitalization carrier had requested that we amend our group plan to exclude all those who will be covered under the Medicare bene- fits.
