PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
February 11, 1960
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P.M., February 11, 1960,.at the Village
Hall, with the following members present:
Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Gordan H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Elwood Jones
Col. Thomas F. Burke
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, Mr.
William Bradford, Assistant, and the Village Manager, were also
p re s ent.
Upon motion made by Col. Burke, seconded by Mr. Jones
and passed, minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written.
(1) Mr. Elbert Bennett, owner of Lot 8-A, Anco Sub., re-
quested a variance of 800 sq. ft. over the area requirements to permit
him to build a six -unit apartment building on this lot. After it was
determined that .a similar variance had been approved by the Planning
Board and granted by the Council on Lot 9-A, Mr. Moyer moved that
the variance be approved with the elevation to be brought back for
final approval by the Planning Board. Col. Burke seconded the motion
and it was passed unanimously.
(2) Mrs. Alfred Soar, 9300 N. E. 12th Ave. , requested
approval to divide her property at 12th Ave. and 10th Court into two
building sites. A survey of this area was presented which indicated
that each lot would have over 7500 sq. ft. Setbacks were shown as 25 ft.
on the front and 10 on two sides (the lots being triangular). However,
inasmuch as there appear to be no parkways on either street, the property
line runs to the street pavement. After some discussion Mr. Jones
recommended to the Council that this be approved as shown with the
setbacks indicated, with the lots facing 12th Ave. and the cubic content
of 25, 000 cu. ft. to be maintained, with the added stipulation that the
old house must be moved from the property. The motion was seconded
by Col. Burke and passed by four votes. Mr. Moyer declined to vote
because he felt they ought to have a 35 ft. setback on N. E. 12th Ave.
or dedicate at least ten feet of frontage for street purposes.
(3) Mr. Avery Guyton of 548 Grand Concourse requested
variance to erect a section of 4 ft. chain link fence along the sidewalk
on Grand Concourse, this being a safety measure to keep children out
of a fish pool. Mr. Harris moved that it be approved. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.

(4) Mr. James F. Jones requested tentative approval for
the location of two buildings on Lots C and 24, Block 59. This is
zoned for professional office use. After viewing the proposed layout
Mr. Harris pointed out that the ordinance calls for off-street parking
and he did not believe that the public parkway on 92nd St. should be
used for off-street parking. Since ane of the buildings is for an insurance
office, same discussion arose over whether or not this would come under
professional office use. Mr. Jones wanted approval to move one of the
proposed buildings from outside the Village onto the property. The
Planning Board took no action on any part of this plan.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P. M.
