SPECIAL MEETING
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE COUNCIL
March 9, 1954
A special meeting of the Village Council of Miami Shores Village,
Florida, was called for 7:3-0 P.M. , March 9, 1954, at the Village Hall,
with the following Councilmen present:
Mayor S. D. Phillips, Jr.
M. E. Reynolds
Michael J. Franco
Dean R. Claussen
Absent: William E. Carpenter
Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, was also present.
Mayor Phillips opened the meeting and explained to those present
that it was called for the purpose of discussing a proposed parking plan with
the owners of business property on N. E. 2nd Avenue, all of whom had been
i
invited to attend this meeting.
The Village Manager read a report (copy attached) which explained
a plan whereby 28-1/2 lots located in the "X" Zone along 2nd Avenue could
be acquired for parking purposes, with the expense to be shared proportion-
ately by the thirteen owners of the business property. ' The total cost under
Plan (A), ie. at $2, 000 a lot, amounted to $57,000; and under Plan (B), ie.
at $3, 000 per lot, amounted to $85, 000.
The Council asked for an expression from the property owners
present. Mr. M. P. Hurst stated he would not go along with any plan that
didnft have supervision or meters to restrict all day parking, that he would
agree to a parking plan where his tenants were assigned parking spaces.
Mr. Dunning would not agree to any plan based -on assessments. Mr. Stafford

stated the Bank definitely would not go along with parking meters. Mr.
Shandloff stated he was in favor of any plan that would bring in more business.
After various Other comments Mr. Yuille suggested starting
negotiations on Plan (A) and tentative agreement was made by the following:
YuiUe
Hurst
Dunning
Gulf - per Piatt
Shandloff
Breeding
Parry (by previous agreement)
Mr. Stafford of the Peoples National Bank and Mr. Rankin of
the Keyes Co. preferred to make no statement.
The Council then took up the application made by Mr. Ken Dunning
to build on Lot 1, Block 17, Miami Shores Subdivision. The Mayor explained
that this is the lot now being used as a parking lot for the Food Palace and
that Mr. Dunning was granted a contract for a Post Office branch in this pro-
posed building. Because Mr. Dunning owns only one lot across the street for
parking, which isnot now zoned for parking, and because there might be
opposition to a change of zone for parking, a motion was made to deny this
permit. However, this motion was withdrawn and Mr. Dunning asked to try to
get an extension on his contract with the Post Office Dept. and report back to
the Council at their next meeting.
The meeting was then adjourned at 9:35 P. M.

A PLAN TO PROVIDE
OFF STREET AUTOMOBILE PARKING LAND
IN
MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE
This does not include the cost of any improvements. It does not include any term
financing. The lots involved would be deeded to Miami Shores Village with use
restrictions for parking of automobiles of owners, tenants and customers of the busi-
ness zone along N. E. 2nd Avenue between 94th Street and 100th Street.
2. If financing is desired, legal and financial consultation will be required as we cannot
find any authority for special assessment in this type program. There might be some
way to combine the authority granted in Chapters 180 and 1830 Fla. Statutes.
3. After the land is acquired the Village should earmark all revenue from present park-
ing meters for improvements as they are needed. This revenue is approximately
$8000. 00 annually.
4. This plan has been discussed and considered in various forms since 1943, and the
facts presented herein should clearly indicate the urgency of concluding some type of
program.
5. In line with National practice, we have an ordinance requiring three square feet of
parking space for each square foot of store space. This is difficult to comply with
in our limited business and parking zones. For example, take the block immediately
south of the Library which is owned by Bessemer Properties. The B-1 section of this
block has an area of 31, 850 sq. ft. In order to comply, they could erect a building
of 10, 000 sq. ft. It could be 245 ft. long and about 40 ft. deep (the distance between
., the sidewalk and the glass doors at the entrance to the Village Hall ); and this could
be done only by counting the 8625 sq. ft. in the 75 ft. lot they own across the alley,
which has not yet been zoned for parking.
6. Could we abolish the parking space ordinance if we could permanently acquire the
28-1/2 vacant lots in the "X" or parking zone ?
In a report of the American Society of Planning Officials we find that, in neighbor-
hood shopping centers, 6. 7 car spaces per 1000 sq. ft, of floor space is suggested
(if each car is presumed to require 300 sq. ft. of parking area, including driveways).
The report further suggests, that for large shopping center projects, 10 car spaces
be provided for each 1000 sq. ft. of floor space.
7. The B-1 zone discussed here contains 403, 650 sq. ft. We have assumed that about
2076 will be taken up by unloading spaces, sanitary disposal and rainfall discharge,
leaving 322, 920 sq. ft. to be used for building or parking.
8. The vacant lots in the ""X"" Zone contain 129, 375 sq. ft. By dividing by 300 we can
assume that 576 off-street parking spaces could be provided. By adding the 180
metered spaces we have on the streets, 756 cars could be parked within the B-1
and "X" Zones.
When we figure our requirements on the suggested formula we find that the estimated
area (322, 920 sq. ft. ) would require 2157 parking spaces (322 x 6. 7).
10. As previously stated, if we used all the vacant lots in the "X"" Zone together with the
-2-
parking meter spaces, we could park 756 cars, or 3576 of the number recommended
for off-street parking only.
11. The B-1 section in question is 5576 built up (this is figured by lots and not by square
footage. Some lots are almost completely covered, others are less than 8010
covered, especially gasoline stations).
12. We counted cars parked in the B-1 area each day beginning Tuesday morning, Feb. 9
and ending Saturday afternoon, Feb. 13. This count was in off metered spaces only,
such as vacant lots, back of stores, paved lots, in service stations$ and streets
beyond the meters. We found that the morning average was 292 cars or 50. 716 of
the 576 proposed spaces; the afternoon averaged 298 cars or 51. 816 of the proposed
spaces, and the highest number to be on Friday morning when 389 cars, or 67. 570 of
- the proposed spaces were counted. Saturday A.M. had the lowest number of 241.
13. We, therefore, find that 5510 of the B-1 Zone could now use about 5016 of the pro-
posed spaces, and could say that on present averages the balance of the spaces
should take care of parking for the balance of the business lots.
. 14. We now have 33 types of business in this area, not counting professions. The B-1
Zone permits 52 types of business and could go as high as 65 types for proper
neighborhood centers.
15. We have stated that the proposed parking spaces should be sufficient on today's
averages, - but what about the future? Facilities of this type will certainly bring
more customers to this area, and should bring about a more rapid development of
the balance of the lots in the B-1 Zone. Prospective builders will be encouraged
when they find that permanent parking space has been provided,
16. This program would create permanent buffers between the business and residential
areas and forestall future attempts to widen the business zone which would cause
no end of turmoil.
17. Because of these facts, it is recommended that steps be taken as quickly as possible
to carry out this program.
Respectfully submitted,
Village Manager
