Mr. Sarafan asked that Mr. Dacquisto change some language in Paragraph 9 of the amendment. Discussion by the Board took place about the covenant being proposed. The Board asked questions of Mr. Miami Shores Village, Planning Board Meeting Minutes: May 25, 2017 2 Dacquisto about the proposed changes. Mr. Dacquisto answers that the public works department has to have the authority to act on the swales. It is not appropriate to have this kind of language in the zoning code. The Board asked for Public works to have an input. Chairman Diaz asked to have some standards in place. There was discussion about what public works does when they go into a site. Mr. Dacquisto said that this amendment gives them the ability to use their judgement. The Board asked if public works is available for questions. The Board agrees with Mr. Dacquisto’s recommendations. Mr. Sarafan clarifies that Staff is looking for a vote to recommend to Village Council to make this change in the Code. Does public works go before or after zoning? Mr. Dacquisto gave a brief analogy of how things go when an application comes in. It always comes down to the Building permits and the Public Works approval. The Board asked questions. Public Hearing is now open. No public present for this item. Public Hearing closed.

VIII) DISCUSSION The Board discussed PZ-4-17-201722 - 420 NE 91 Street regarding what Mr. Busta brought up about the access door by the cabana. 1) Schedule one workshop per month in addition to regular meeting. Mr. Dacquisto would like to have a Workshop the second Thursday of the month for the next four of five months. The Board agrees to have a Workshop the second Thursday of the month. No meeting in August. Start back up in September. 2) Future amendments. The Board will talk about this item at our next meeting in June 22, 2017. 3) Comprehensive Plan Update Will be discussed at a future Workshop in July. Mr. Dacquisto will put it up in the web as a link. 4) Planning board procedures and requirements. Will be discussed at the Workshop in June. Mr. Sarafan said that as the Board knows this is a public meeting. All of the discussions about the meeting have to be done in public with a record taken. There should not be any whispering in discussion. If the Board wants to discuss anything get recognized by the Chair and discuss it out loud with a record taken. If there is whispering is could be misperceived as out of the Sunshine. Don’t give the appearance that we are having private discussion. Mr. Sarafan said that every Board does that. It is something that you want to discuss among each other. Get recognized by the Chair and discuss it in public. Another issue is that from time to time you might be tempted to get on your cell phones and look up aerial pictures of the property and that is technically consulting evidence that is not before you in the record. It is little different than a site plan however, we disclose those. If you do this even before the meeting that is something you want to disclose. The Board discussed this issue at this time. Discretion is a part of balance. Mr. Sarafan went over what is permissible and what needs to be disclosed when doing research online. IX) NEXT WORKSHOP –TBA. a) TBD.
