South Miami Master Plan Is Presented

By EDWIN KNIGHT South Miami Council and the city's Planning and Zoning Board Tuesday night received the final result of the Scott Bagby and Associates master plan which may be cussed and discussed long before it goes into city use. Presented by Bagby along with an hour-long explanation of some 15 maps and graphs in the 72-page book, the plan will next go to the Planning and Zoning Board for discussion and approval. From the Planning and Zoning Board the plan will then go to the City Council, according to Mayor Paul U. Tevis, who urged the city's Planning and Zoning Board to scrutinize the plan for necessary alterations. Final Status Although the plan is intended by Council as a preliminary to the final product, some more copies of the plan are due to arrive in Miami during the next week which may give the book presently in the Council's hands a final status. Asked by Mayor Tevis Tuesday night whether the present plan was the final one, Bagby inferred that it was. He said that a committee of citizens and city hall officials had worked with him throughout the nine months of planning and said as far as he was concerned the plan was finished, except if he was retained as a consultant. Council had hoped that Bagby would present rough drafts of the plan before sending it to the printers. In this event, both the city's Planning and Zoning Board and the Council would have been able to make suggestions to make the plan easier to work with. Accept Or Reject As it is now, Council must either accept or reject the plan. If it rejects the plan, it is doubtful whether Bagby will receive the final payment owed to him for his effort. Total cost of Bagby's contract is $13,500. Of that amount, the city already has paid Bagby $10,125. The remaining payment depends on Council's opinion of the plan. If and when Council accepts the plan, it then will go before numerous public hearings followed by a referendum by the city's freeholders, probably in February.

Parking Rules Relaxed For Holiday Shoppers

Violators of the strict one-hour parking limit policy on Miracle Mile and Ponce de Leon Blvd. got half a break recently when the City Commission relented for the Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year holiday period. Courtesy tickets announcing the violation, but carrying no penalty, will be issued during this period by the Coral Gables Police Department. Police, following a di tive from Chief William Kimbrough Friday, Nov. 18, stopped issuing tickets to persons putting in an additional nickle to get more than the one-hour parking limit. Those who fail to put money in the meter or who allow the meter to run out will continue to be ticketed in the conventional way, Kimbrough said Tuesday. Courtesy Tickets As soon as the courtesy tickets are received, Kimbrough said, persons placing additional coins in the meters to get more than an hour's parking will receive the complimentary treat-ment. The ticket will read: "You are in violation — but, in the spirit of the season, we have not issued you a ticket." Albert H. Friedman, newly elected president of the Retail Merchants Division, is one of the supporters of the warning ticket idea along with City Manager L. W. Robinson Jr., Don Mullen and Frank Maury. Until a few weeks ago the one-hour parking law on Miracle Mile was not strictly enforced by the Police Department, Friedman pointed out. 'Lazy Merchants' "Enforcement was started because it came to our attention that a small number of 'lazy' merchants and employees were consistently using the parking spaces for long periods of time by putting another nickle the meter every hour. "This inconsiderate practice was tying up space that should normally have gone to the shopper merely because the violators refused to utilize the off-street parking facilities which allow 2 to 18 hours parking," Friedman said. But, Chief Kimbrough int-ed out, the license numbers of those parking more than one hour will be noted, compiled and sent to Robinson. Friedman indicated that some of these persons will be contacted personally in an effort to get them to stop hogging parking space voluntarily. But, unless the City Commission changes its mind, the licy of strict enforcement by marking tires with chalk will return after New Year's.
