COUNCIL MINUTES
SPECIAL MEETING - NOVEMBER 13, 1990
A Special Meeting of the Bal Harbour Village Council was held
on Tuesday, November 13, 1990 in the Bal Harbour Village Hall
Council Chambers. The meeting was called to order at 5:20 p.m. by
Mayor Estelle Stern and the roll was called. Those present were:
Mayor Estelle Stern
Asst. Mayor Matthew B. Blank
Councilman James E. Boggess
Councilman Andrew R. Hirschl
Absent: Councilman Sol M. Taplin
Also present: Richard J. Weiss, Village Attorney
Carole S. Morris, Village Manager
As a quorum was determined to be present the meeting
commenced.
2. Ordinances - Second Reading/Public Hearing: Mrs. Morris
read the proposed ordinance by title. Mayor Stern then opened a
public hearing and, as no one desired to speak, closed a public
hearing on this ordinance. Mr. Weiss recapped the problem
encountered by the Village due to enactment of this ordinance,
namely that we would be unable to issue building permits for new
construction on vacant lots in the residential district. Mr. Weiss
outlined three alternatives for the Council. First, to amend the
ordinance presented to exempt the R-1 and R-2 districts. Second,
to enact the ordinance as written and to , upon application for a
permit, require each property retain its own stormwater. Or third,
to defer second reading of this ordinance in order to obtain
estimated costs for stormwater retention (i.e. construction of
french drains, etc.). Dr. Tom Kelsey, Craig A. Smith and
Associates, explained the review process completed by the
Department of Community Affairs (hereafter "D.C.A.") in evaluation.
It is required that we submit work products as we have completed
this project utilizing grant funding obtained through D.C.A. After
some further discussion, a motion was offered by Mr. Boggess to
amend the ordinance to exempt lots vacant as of this date in the R-
1 and
R-2 zoning districts. The motion was seconded by Dr. Hirschl and
carried unopposed (4-0). A motion to enact the ordinance, as
amended, was offered by Dr. Hirschl and seconded by Mr. Boggess.
This motion carried unanimously (4-0) with the following ordinance
enacted.
