PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
April 9, 1959
A regular meeting of the Miami. Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P.M., April 9, 1959, at the Village Hall
with the following members present:
Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Col. Thomas F. Burke
Mr. Emrys Harris
Absent: Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and
Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present.
Mr. Moyer moved that the minutes of the last regular meeting be
dispensed with and approved as written. Motion was seconded by Col.
Burke and passed unanimously.
(1) A letter was received from the Holy Cross Episcopal Church
outlining their plans for the erection of a church on the lots facing N. E.
2nd Ave. on the west side, between 91st and 92nd Sts., using two lots
west of the alley on 91st St. for parking and a residence on the two lots
west of the alley on 92nd St. for a rectory. Rev. Titus stated that they
would like to hold meetings in the rectory until the church is built, that
there would be no music or singing, oraycommittee meetings. The church
has a membership of about 1200 but only about 600 members over 12 years
of age. Col. Burke moved that we recommend approval of the request
for the building west of the alley to be used for residential purposes and
for the purpose of holding board meetings and related church activities
on Lots 6 and 7, Block 24, M. S. Sub. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris
and passed unanimously.
Col. Burke further moved that Lots 22 and 23, Block 24,
be used for parking facilities in connection with the church activities
after being properly surfaced and a wall placed on the west side of the
parking lot. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 3/1 with
Mr. Harris declining to vote inasmuch as he felt the Planning Board had
no authority to pass on changes in use of property since that is what it
appears to be and he would like to have a clarification from the Village
Attorney as to whether or not the use of these two lots for parking would
constitute a change of zoning.

(2) Mr. George Paul, 166 N. E. 101st St., made a verbal
request for a change of zone on his property to professional office use,
stating that he must move his wife to another location because of the
tragic death of his son, and claiming that he cannot get his investment
back under the present conditions with the auto testing station right next
to his property. Mr. Harris moved that because this involves a change
of zoning and because a change of zoning cannot be approved by this
Board except under certain rules and regulations of the Zoning Ordinance,
that this proposal be disapproved, mainly because the proper procedure
has not been followed. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed
by three affirmative votes with Col. Burke declining to vote.
(3) Plans for an addition for Mr. J. A. Kotte, 69 N. E.
103rd St., drawn by C. H. Markel, were approved by motion made by
Col. Burke, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(4) Plans drawn by C. H. Markel for an apartment building
for John Paparo, on the E. 60 ft. of Lot 6A and W. 20 Ft. of 7A, Anco
Sub., were reviewed. All parking and area requirements had been met.
Mr. Moyer moved that the plans be approved. Motion was seconded
by Col. Burke and passed unanimously.
(5) Plans drawn by C. H. Markel, for an addition to the
residence of M. B. Arnold, 504 N. E. 101st St., were approved by
motion made by Col. Burke, seconded by Mr. Harris and passed
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 P. M.
