This is a supplemental notice to the one given on April 12, 1974, regarding an
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance of Bal Harbour Village, No. 158. In the
third paragraph there is reference made to the repeal of a legal reference in
Section 2 of the Ordinance, which has no force and effect. What the Council
intends to do is to adopt an ordinance on April 27, 1974, deleting from Section
2, Ordinance No. 158, the following language
11 .... , and like authority is conferred upon BAL HARBOUR
VILLAGE by the provisions of Chapter 9837, No. 719,
Special Acts, 1923,11
A separate ordinance would amend the references used to determine the maxi-
mum height of buildings. For technical reasons, our consulting engineers
consider it preferable to relate the height of buildings to Mean Low Water,
United States Engineer Department (USED) Bay Datum, rather than relating
them to street grade.
Copies of the proposed ordinances are enclosed for your information.
The ordinances, of course, are subject to amendment when they are brought
before the Council.

April 12, 1974
On April 14, 1973, Bal Harbour Village adopted a new Zoning Ordinance for the
Village, No. 158, which imposed new regulations controlling the Oceanfront District
of Bal Harbour.
At the forthcoming meeting of the Bal Harbour Village Council on April 27, 1974, two
changes to that ordinance will be considered for adoption. These changes are as
follows:
1. The repeal of a legal reference contained in Section 2 of the Ordinance, which
has no force and effect.
2. The clarification of the maximum height of buildings and accessory buildings to
be allowed. The proposed change will express these heights using U. S. Engineer
Department (USED) Bay Datum, rather than their relationship to the street. The
maximum height of buildings and accessory buildings will remain approximately the
same. The change is necessitated, due to fluctuations in the street grade.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the above, please contact me at the
Village Hall, 866 -4633. You are invited to attend the Council Meeting at 9:30 A.M. ,
Saturday, April 27, 1974, at the Village Hall.

The Village Manager said he received two estimates for engineering
services to upgrade the street lighting in the Village. From 2urwelle-
Phittaker: $2,000.00 to survey the area, make recommendations and selection
of fixtures. An additional $5,000.00 would be required to draw plans and
specifications suitable for bidding; and an additional $21,000.00 for super-
vision of construction, The engineers estimate that a complete new wiring '
system will be required at a cost of approximately $100,000.00. A second
proposal was received from Howard Brandston Lighting Design, New York, for
selection, design and plans for new lighting fixtures: $4,000.00. This would
not include plans for new wiring, if required. However, this company believes
that it may be possible to provide-high intensity lighting without re- wiring
the complete system. 'hie would be possible if special transformers could be
installed to our present system. The Council asked Mr. Maley to get this answer
from the New York firm before they considered it further.
As discussed at previous meetings, the Council reviewed the fact that
police calls now being taken by the Metro dispatcher are not resulting in the
Immediate response that the residents would like. After discussion it was moved
by Mr. Scott, seconded by Mr. Brush and voted that Mr. -Maley be authorized to
hire personnel to answer the telephones in the Village Hall after normal working
hours.
Mr. Maley reported that Miami Beach and the Town of Surfside have fiat
rates to the airport by taxis serving their residents. He said that he would
like to wait until after the close of the Legislature to see if either the
State or the County will be regulating taxis. If not, when applications for
permits are filed, we might also ordain a flat rate.
Mr. George Ling of Kruse, O'Connor and Ling discussed with the Council
various suggested changes in the Employees Pension Plan. He said that many of
the suggested benefit changes can be made without additional cost to the
Village. The Council said they would study these recommendations thoroughly
before making any changes. Mr. Maley and Mr. Ling' will make firm recommenda-
tions in the near future.
There being no further business,
Mr. Beatty, the meeting was adjourned at
