The Village Manager reported that Notices had been sent to all
property owners within 375 feet of the Bal Harbour Shops property, for which
a 50 foot variance into the Park Drive set -back area had been requested. Mr.
Stanley Whitman, owner, explained to those present at the Public Hearing that
he is requesting a variance for a three -level parking structure which would
not exceed 44 feet in height. The garage and stores would also have roof -level
parking. The parking structure, including the surrounding ground level parking,
would provide for the parking of 1730 cars. Mr. Eldridge Lovelace, Sr. Partner
Harland- Bartholomew 6 Associates, presented diagrams of a parking structure
previously authorized by a variance granted in 1962, but not yet built, and
also views of the proposed structure. After discussion from the property owners
present, the Mayor informed them that some letters had also been received re-
garding the matter which will be given consideration. It was moved by Mr. Beatty,
seconded by Mr. Taplin and unanimously voted that the Council take the matter
under advisement for one month. Mr. Jarvis told the Council that he has
serious doubts about the validity of the 1962 variance, inasmuch as it might
be considered abandoned and also due to the fact that a new Zoning Ordinance
has been passed. He said that he would research the matter and advise before
the meeting to be held on December 28th.
The Village Clerk reported that a Notice had been published regarding
consideration of

Mutual Funds held and to purchase $40,000.00 of Consumer Power lot Mortgage
Bonds, and $30,000.00 of Florida Power and Light Company Notes. On motion
of Mr. Brush, seconded by Mr. Taplin and voted the action was ratified.
Mr. Jarvis reported that Judge Mehrtens had rendered a summary
judgement in favor of Sal Harbour Village against Standard Dredging Company
and their bonding company. A separate hearing will be held in Federal
Court In Miami to determine damages due.
Mr. Maley read a letter from Beach Cleaning Service, Inc. containing
a proposal for cleaning the beach, explaining that this is the only firm in
the County that performs this service. It was moved by Mr. Taplin,
seconded by Mr. Bwattv and voted that Beach Cleaning Service be retained to

for treatment and landscaping the beach, when completed. Mr. Maley advised
him that under State law this type of work must be done under competitive
proposals.

checked with the Clerk of the Supreme Court in Tallahassee and that our
case against Mrs. Giblin was ready for presentation to the Court and would
be considered after the first of the year.

Ordinance for the concrete and forming company working on the Kenilworth
Apartment job. The Council said that in consideration of the winter season
tenants this would be impossible.

utilizing the parking spaces at Harbour House North and Harbour House am-
plyees are without parking facilities. It was moved by Mr. Beatty seconded
by Mr. Brush to allow the Harbour House forty parking permits for the Baker's
Haulover Bridge lot until May 1, 1975. The motion was passed with Mr.
