ACTION ITEMS: PUBLIC HEARINGS
a. Approval of Planning Board report to the Village Council on the
amendment to permit Chickees in Miami Shores.
Chairman Fernandez expressed his concerns on two items. The first issue was insurability
and the second has to do with nonconforming structures. The Board discussed what
would happen later if, the Council decided to prohibit Chickees again and how that would
affect the maintenance and repair of them, since they would then become nonconforming
structures. They also discussed the hazards of allowing a structure that may not be
insurable and what would happen if it broke apart and their was no insurance to cover the
cost of repair. The Board agreed to include the previously submitted pictures, a list of
insurance coverage that may be required, the October, November and December minutes
along with the report submitted to the Board for submission to the Council. The Board
will vote on the final report at their next meeting.
