DISCUSSION ON STREET BLOCKING.
In a report to Council, Mr. Forney outlined a request from
Dr. Jay Stein concerning a street blocking proposal. The proposal
advocated blocking off the Northeast section of the Village by closing
all the roads opening on to Biscayne Boulevard from N.E. 104th Street
to N.E. 99th Street. Moving south along 10th Avenue, both 98th and
97th Streets would be closed where they enter 10th Avenue. This
would be the only entrance into the Northeast section of the Village,
12th Avenue at 96th Street. It was also proposed that a guardhouse
be erected at 96th Street with a twenty-four hour a day guard. The
costs would be borne by the residents of the area involved.
Mr. Forney explained some of the advantages and disadvantages
associated with street blocking. He requested Council to comment on
this issue in order to determine a basis for responding to street
blocking requests in the future.
After discussion, Council agreed by consensus that they
opposed street blocking in Miami Shores.
DISCUSSION OF COMMERCIAL FILMING ORDINANCE.
Mr. Forney explained that this item was placed on the agenda
for Council to discuss two matters concerning the commercial filming
ordinance. First, should there be a separate category set up to cover
editorial picture making as opposed to commercial picture making. The
second question concerned whether or not the Council should set up a
mechanism to review the Village Manager's decisions on requests for
waivers to the ordinance.
Mrs. Stofik suggested that there was a need to distinguish
the difference between editorial and commercial filming. Members of
Council reviewed a letter from Ms. Suzanne Spear which requested
Council to change the current ordinance so that all restrictions on
still photography were lifted.
By consensus, Council agreed to consider a proposal to change
the current filming ordinance regarding the appeal process for granting
waivers and clarifying what constitutes editorial still photography at
the next regular Council meeting.
