1100 NE 91 Terr (9)ITEM #4 REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF WHITE PAINT FOR GRAY ROOF
TOYA & ANDREW DUBIN
374 N.E. 95th Street
Mr. LuBien stated the reason for the request to paint the roof white. Ms. Toya Dubin addressed
the Board as the homeowner. She indicated that in order to restore the roof to its original style,
she must paint the color -thru grey barrel tile. Ms. Dubin stated that when the roof was replaced
last year, she was unable to purchase the exact tile which had been previously installed, as it was
no longer available. Other manufacturer's color -thru white tile did not meet the specifications of
the previous roofing tiles. Mr. Smith detailed past conversations with Mr. LuBien regarding the
probability of the homeowner wanting to paint the grey tiles at a later date. It was the consensus
of the Board that the roof should be painted, however they were concerned about setting a
precedent if they moved approval. Chairman Walters suggested that due to the architectural
design of the home, the Historic Preservation Board could be asked to make a recommendation
and declaring the home an historical landmark. Ms. Dubin stated that she wanted to restore the
home to its original art-deco styling and will take the necessary steps to ensure its integrity. Mr.
Smith was asked to act as liaison between Ms. Dubin and the Historic Preservation Board. This
item was tabled until such time as the Historic Preservation Board can make a recommendation.
ITEM #5 REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF VARIANCE TO PERMIT FURTHER.
CONSTRUCTION TO MAIN BUILDING AND THE INSTALLATION OF
A SWIMMING POOL
SAAD MAHMOUD
1100 N.E. 91st Terrace
Mr. LuBien indicated this item was before the Board due to existing non - conforming set -backs
and the homeowners request to build a swimming pool and an addition to the home which W07216.
further the non - conforming status and require a variance. Mr. Franklin Grau, Architect, was
present representing the homeowner. Mr. Mahmoud was also present. The question arose
regarding Code requirements for front -yard swimming pools. Mr. LuBien and Mr. Grau both
indicated that the Village Code does not specifically address the issue of front -yard swimr
pools. Mr. Grau pointed out a number of peculiarities with regard to this home. The ho.- -
built prior to the Village's incorporation. The front yard was previously the rear yard, an
rear yard, previously the front yard. When the home was constructed there had not been
to the rear of the house. In addition, only a portion of the property is within the current M.
Shores Village limits. The other portion of the property is situated in Unincorporated DarlF.
County. Due to these circumstances, the required set -back limits are non - conforming to th .
Village Code. Mr. Fann stated that he did not see a problem with expanding the non-
conformance of the property. Mr. Smith asked to review the property file which Mr. LuBien
supplied. Mr. Smith pointed out that the house is a duplex property with a shingle roof and
voiced his concerns regarding the number of non - conforming items related to this property. MY.
Smith asked the homeowner if the property had one or two kitchens. The homeowner indicated
that the house has two kitchens but only one family resides in the residence. Mr. Smith was
reminded that the issue at hand was a set -back variance. Mr. Fann suggested that a covenant be
used to require the homeowner to remove one kitchen and to state the property's use as single
family. Mr. Smith moved to grant the set -back variance with the proviso that an affidavit is
obtained from the homeowner indicating single family use and that he will remove one of the
kitchens. Mr. Blum seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
ITEM # 2 PREVIOUSLY DEFERRED
DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PROPOSED POLICY
GUIDELINES FOR ROOFING MATERIAL VARIANCES.
MR. SMITH/MR. LUBIEN - MR. KNEZEVICH
Mr. LuBien introduced Mr. Knezevich who is a local engineer and who was invited to attend the
meeting to address the Board regarding roofing guidelines. Mr. Knezevich reviewed his
comments regarding the draft of the proposed policy guidelines which had previously been
submitted by Mr. Smith. Mr. Knezevich indicated that a number of issues raised in the draft
policy would be satisfied by the submission of the Notice of Acceptance at the time a roofing
permit was applied for. This Notice of Acceptance states that the roofmg material maintains
product approval through the South Florida Building Code. He suggested that Mr. LuBien
obtain a list of approved roofmg materials from Dade County for reference. Chairman Walters
asked how engineers determine the load capacity of a structure. Mr. Knezevich stated that in
many homes it is difficult to determine without destructive testing, which is not feasible. Mr.
Knezevich indicated that many times the engineers must make assumptions as to the timber,
trusses and fastening systems used, formulate the weight load originally intended, factor in age,
and then down -grade the newly calculated load capacity. It is not an exact measurement. Mr.
Blum indicated that the Board is looking for documentation or references from the engineer
stating how the conclusion of "this structure cannot hold any roofing material other than asphalt
shingle" is reached. Mr. Knezevich stated that there is no reference guide to speak of, but the
engineer could be requested to state the formula used to determine the load capacity. The
consensus of the Board was to request that Mr. Knezevich draft proposed policy guidelines for
roofmg material variances to be reviewed upon completion. Mr. Knezevich stated that he would
draft a policy for the Board using tonight's discussions and the previously submitted draft.
Chairman Walters reminded the Board that the .policy will be used as a guideline only for
requests that come before the Board to re -roof with a material other than tile.
ITEM #5A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF VARIANCE TO ALLOW RE -ROOF WITH
ASPHALT SHINGLES
EGERY NELSON, JR.
9339 N.E. 10th Court
Mr. LuBien explained that this item is back before the Planning & Zoning Board having been
deferred from the Village Council Agenda due to there currently not being Dade County
approval on file for cementious fibre roofing shingles. Christopher Kelley, attorney for Mr.
Nelson detailed his conversations with the Dade County Code official regarding the product
approval procedures. Mr. Smith indicated that during an afternoon conversation with the same
Dade County Code official, the official indicated to him that product approval is due in
approximately 30 days. Mr. Smith suggested deferring a decision until such time as product
approval of the cementious fibre material is obtained. Attorney Kelley stated that the roof is now
