PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
November 12, 1959
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , November 12, 1959, at the Village Hall,
with the following members present:
Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Tr.
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Absent: Col. Thomas F. Burke
Mr. Moyer moved that the minutes be dispensed with and approved
as written. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(1) The first business was a public hearing to consider a petition
for change in zoning on Lots 10, 11 and 12, Block 3, El Portal Subdivision
by the owner, Dr. Paul Stratos, from Residential to Professional Office use.
Dr. Stratos explained that he felt his property was not suitable
for a home because of the traffic on 2nd Ave., that it is adjacent to professional
office type zoning in El Portal, that the building he proposed would not detract
from the, residential neighborhood and that all parking would be in the rear.
Mr. Jacob Croft, 250 N. E. 91st St., stated he bought his
home at that address feeling the neighborhood would always remain
residential and suggested that this zoning change be denied.
Mr. J. B. Evans, 235 N. E. 91st St., bought his home because
it was quiet in the Shores and thought it would be an injustice to change the
zoning.
Mr. Lee Wilson, 236 N. E. 91st. St., also thought it would be
an injustice to change this zoning.
The following people objected to any change because it would
change the residential character of the neighborhood and/or increase traffic:
Mrs. Beatrice Becker, 200 Grand Concourse
Mrs. John B. Norton, 220 Grand Concourse
Mrs. Good fellow, 190 N. E. 91st St.
Mr. Albert Warner, 168 N. E. 91st St.
Mr. H. Sizer, 156 N. E. 91st St.
Mr. H. Copeland, 161 N. E. 91st St.
Mr. Raymond Metzen, 145 N. E. 91st St.
Mr. A. J. Bernard, 275 N. E. 92nd St.

Mr. John. Meyer, 9101 N. E. 2nd Av.
Mr. George B. Miller, 152 N. E. 92nd St.
After everyone had had an opportunity to be heard, Mr. Arnold
stated the Planning Board would take this under consideration and make a
recommendation at a subsequent meeting.
(2) Next was a sign for the Columbia Federal Savings and
Loan Assoc. building as well as one for their parking lot. Mr. Markel
reported that these signs were in excess of the area allowed by the zoning
ordinance. Mr. Jones moved that we deny this request and suggest that they
hold to the ordi+arce as to size. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and
passed unanimously.
(3) A representative of the Endure -A -Lifetime Awning Co.
was present to appeal to the Board for permit to construct an aluminum
carport in the side yard of Mr. David Lithgow's home at 1250 N. E. 95th St.
Upon motion made by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed, permit
was denied. Request was also made for an aluuminum carport in the front
yard at 1690 N. E. 104th St. which was denied by motion made by Mr. Moyer,
seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.

on Lot 26, Block 2, Bay Lure by Mr. Durham, were approved by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed.
Plans for a Florida room addition to the home of Richard
McKenna, 120 N. E. 102nd St., were approved by motion made by Mr. Jones,
seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously (drawn by C. H. Markel).
Plans drawn. by C. H. Markel for an addition to the home.
of Mr. Loskill, 460 N. E. 95th St. , were approved by motion made by Mr.

the ordinance concerning hedges: or walls at the edge of the parking lots.
