PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING.
October 29, 1959
A special meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 F. M. , October 29, 1959, at the Village
Hall with the following members present:
Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Col. Thomas F. Burke
Absent: Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and
Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present.
(1) Mr. Paul Lane requested permit to build on Lot 4,
Block 81, Miami Shores Sub. , a 50 ft. lot. Mr. Laneis plans were
reviewed and inasmuch as they met all building and zoning requirements,
recommendation for permit was approved by motion made by Mr. Jones,
seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously. Permit to build on
this lot had previously been granted to Paul. Kinney, former owner.
(2) Plans for a screened porch at 58 N. W. 98th St. ,
drawn by C. H. Markel, were approved by motion made by Mr. Moyer,
seconded by Col. Burke and passed unanimously.
(3) A request made by- the Telephone Co. to install curb
phones on 2nd Ave. was denied by motion made by Mr. Jones, seconded
by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(4) Mr. H. S. Weeks, owner of Lots 6, 7, 8 and 9, Block
177, on Biscayne Blvd. between 100th and 101st St., filed a petition
for a zoning change to build a twos -story co-operative apartment on these
four lots. On being questioned by Mr. Weeks, Messrs. Arnold, Jones
and Moyer stated they were against this proposal. Col. Burke stated
he would vote in favor of it and thought Mr. Weeks was entitled to a
public hearing. The Board told Mr. Weeks they would instruct the
Village Clerk to call a public hearing on this requested zoning change
if so advised by the Village Attorney,
(5) Mr. James Jones of Jones Tool & Dye Co. requested
10A9/59
-2-
permit to move three buildings from outside the Shores onto the vacant
property worth of the Tool & Dye office along the railroad in Block 59.
Mr. Markel had inspected one of these buildings which is up on wheels
and because of the many cracks in the building and because of the pro-
posed foundation, he recommended that approval be denied for the moving
of any buildings into the Shores. Mr. Moyer moved that the request be
denied in view of the fact that it would certainly lower standards of building
construction in. Miami Shores. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and
passed unanimously.
Mr. James Jones then presented plans and a plot plan for
the construction and location of three new buildings if so required.
After a review of these plans Mr. Jones moved that the Board grant
approval of the three plans shown for new buildings providing that the
Building Dept. approves construction and all building and zoning require-
ments are met. Motion was seconded by Col. Burke and passed unanimously.
Mr. James Jones stated he may have as many as 22 doctors
in these buildings and asked if it would be possible to have a drug store
or apothecary in this area for the benefit of the patients. It was pointed
out to Mr. Jones that no retail business could be carried on in this
zone, that it would have to be a private prescription department, if
approved.
(6) The Edison Center Christian Church plan for a chapel
to be built on the vacant property north of the City Hall between 101st
and 102nd Sts. was again discussed. They stated they intended to pro-
vide 200 seats in the proposed chapel. The Building Inspector stated
that a building of this size could seat appro'imately 385 people. To
provide more parking space they asked if it would be possible to use
a double deck parking ramp. However, this was discouraged. The
representative of the church then suggested a two-story building to
provide more area for parking. .After further discussion, Mr. Moyer
moved that the Board recommend to the Council that a church be
authorized on this site providing adequate parking is provided. Motion
was seconded by Col. Burke and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 9;05 P. M.
