RAWEST OP TUCS,URMAN & SNARE BUILDING LINE RESTRICTIONS The oommunioation of Tuokerman & Snare addressed to the Mayor and City Commission, dated February 20th, was reoeived.

The letter of Tuokerman & Snare is as follows: February 20th, 1922. To the Honorable Mayor and Commissioners of the City of Miami. Gentlemen: We have a number of olients who are heavily interested in property on N. E. Second Ave. and others who would be inolined to go ahead with valuable developments were it not for the uncer- tainty that prevails as to restriotions. We are oonvinoed that this thoroughfare will eventual- ly be 000upied for business purposes all the way out to Buena Vista. In faot, the developments of the past two years have set- tled this question, in the minds of anybody who has kept in touoh with the situation, but we understand that there are still a few isolate& spots where restriotions are in foroe that would stand in the way of ligitimate development that would be of great value to the oity. Would like to ask whether the Commission is contemplating the appointment of a City Planning Board, or zoning oommittee who would have power to lift restriotions whioh were put on oertaln properties years ago When it was intended to keep this section as a highly restricted residential neighborhood. Conditions ohange rapidly with the growth of the city, and this street has already been so oommero ialized that there is no doubt as to its future development along business lines if these restriotions were removed. Business men do not care to buy property whioh parries with it the ohanoe of a law suit, nor do they oare to take any ohanoes of being prevented from oarrying out their plans, and we have been oonfronted with this oondition so often lately, that we would be glad of some assuranoe as to what your body intends to do in establishing a definite polioy. We have a number of properties that arelying dormantun- til this matter is deoided, and we would appreoiate an early re- ply as to what we may look forward to. Sinoerely, H. G. TUOKERUAN, Tuokerman & Snare. REQUEST OF GRESHAM MFG. CO.
