building granted October 25, 1969; also, that the northwest building, indicated as
"Building C" could be extended into the setback area a distance of twenty-three

Mr. Maley told the Council that Edward D. Stone, Jr. and Associates had

and unanimously voted to accept their proposal, but that they wished to limit
the overall cost of supervision to $3,O1i0.00.
An Agreement between the State of Florida Department of Transportation and
Bal Harbour Village modifying the April 9, 1969 agreement to provide that the
Village shall perform the landscaping work and that the $20,000.00 commitment
by the Department for this work shall offset a sum of $20,000.00 pledged by the
Village for paving and reconstruction of Collins Avenue (A1A) was presented to
the Council. On motion of Mr. Taplin, seconded by Mr. Printup, and unanimously
voted, Mayor John F. Beatty and Village Clerk M. T. Wetterer, were authorized
to execute this Agreement.
Mr. Maley explained that he wished to build one large trash bin behind the
sewer station to replace the smaller bins now located throughout the village
which are very unsightly. He said that the Bal Harbour Club is willing to give
us an easement on the Yacht Club property and that he had contacted members of
the Whitman family, the adjacent property owner, and they have na objection to
the location. On motion of Mr. Printup, seconded by Mr. White, and unanimously
voted Mr. Maley was authorized to secure the proposed easement from the Bal
Harbour Club and construct a central trash bin to permit removal of the small
bins from their present locations.

Mr. Taplin said he had been approached by the Miami Helicopter Service, Inc.
asking that we endorse their proposal to establish a heliport at Haulover Park for
service to Miami Airport. He said that he and Mr. Maley had witnessed their operation
and that he (Mr. Taplin) did not think it would become a nuisance to the Village,
but would be an asset to the many commuters. It was the opinion of the Council that
the Village Manager should check with Dade County to determine the status of their
negotiations with the County and report back at the next meeting.
