REGULAR MEETING
MIAMI S11ORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
April 15, 1952
A regular meeting of the Village Council of Miami Shores Village,
Florida, was held at 7:30 o'clock P. M. , April 15, 1952, at the Village Hall,
with the following Councilmen present:
Mayor M. E. Reynolds
George A. Frix
Michael J. Franco
William E. Carpenter
Absent: S. D. Phillips, Jr.
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Upon motion made by Mr. Frix, seconded by Mr. Franco and passed
unanimously, the minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written.
A letter was read from the Town of North Miami asking cooperation
from Miami Shores Village to get the County School Board to construct the
proposed highschool at N. E. 135th Street between 7th and 9th Avenues, instead
of at 150th Street and N. W. 6th.Avenue. Although it appeared that the location
on N. E. 135th Street would better serve North Dade, the Village Manager was
instructed to contact the School Board to find out what their plans are in this
regard before the Council takes any .action.
A recommendation was made by the Planning Board that a permit be
granted for two residences on the west 1/2 of Lot 11, all of 12 and 13, Block 3,
Golden Gate Park, in order to eliminate an isolated 50 ft. lot. Action on this
item was deferred until later in the meeting when Mr. Rochan appeared and
explained: his plans to the Council, that by facing the houses west each lot would

have a 70 ft. frontage. Mr. Frix then moved that the permit be granted with
the houses to be faced west on 70 ft. lots. Motion was seconded by Mr. Franco
and passed unanimously.
Excerpts from the Planning Board minutes were read wherein they
opposed issuance of a building permit for the Miami Shores Baptist Church
parsonage on Lot 4, Block 44, - a 50 ft. lot. It was their opinion that a 23, 000
cu. ft. residence could not be put on this lot, observing all zoning requirements
and building aesthetics. The Council made no recommendation concerning the
lot but instructed the Village Manager to contact the new owners of the adjoin-
ing property for possible disposition.of the lot.
Mr. Rosenberg's request for a permit to construct a six-room hotel
in a B-1 zone was again reviewed. In a report from the Planning Board made
a part of the minutes of their last meeting, this petition was recommended for
approval by the Council. After further discussion and on .advice from the Village
Attorney it was decided that this building should be considered separately and
not in conjunction with the store building on the front of the lot, previously
approved, which would not, therefore, constitute a change of zone but merely
a step-up by putting an.apartment hotel in a B-1 zone. Mr. Franco then moved
that the Planning Board recommendation be approved. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Carpenter and passed unanimously.
Mr. Voorhies$ plans for an office building on Lot 2, Block 21, El
Portal were reviewed and approved.
The Village Attorney stated he was not in a position to give an opinion
on the water assessment but that he would have something for the next .meeting.

fie added, that he could find no authority for this type of special assessment.
Mr. A. J. C. Landy of 123 N. W. 109th Street, petitioned the Council
to stop the builder on his street from leaving bags of cement lying around
on the front lots and piling so much trash on the parkway. The Village Manager
was instructed to investigate this complaint. Mr. Landy also went on to say
there are some very large For Sale signs on homes in his neighborhood that
are in violation of our regulations. The Village Manager explained that the
Police have not had time to check these signs lately because of more important
duties. It was suggested that an item be put in the bulletin concerning signs.
The Village Manager reported that by the next meeting he would have
a complete story of all transactions on the Miami Shores Motor Lodge.
The meeting adjourned at 8:32 P.M.
