Previously approval bad been given for the con- struction of buildings at the north end of the vacant property and at the south end im nediately adjacent to the Tool plant. Mr. Jones stated he nowwas proposing buildings 3, 4 and 5 which would complete the development of the vacant property in this location. Mr. Jones asked for .permission to pave the parkway in front of these buildings for parking. The Planning Board advised that he would have to provide sufficient off-street parking without the parkway, which Mr. Jones stated he had done. It was determined that the three new buildings would have 12 suites. Fifty-six parking spaces were provided off-street. Col. Burke moved that it is the opinion of the Planning Board that there is sufficient parking provided off-street. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously. Mr. Harris added that the question of parking on the parkways of the Village in the business areas is a matter of interest to him in that he felt there should be a policy that the parkways are maintained as parkways and not as an asphalt parking space. b. Mr. Jones then presented a front and side elevation and plot plan of a building to be constructed in the "O" District of Block 59 at the corner of N. E. 9Znd St. and W. Railroad Ave. Sufficient parking 2/25/60 -2- was proposed by utilizing a portion of the adjoining lot. The front entrance is on 92nd St. with. 10 ft. setback, which does not meet the required setback in an "O" District. Another entrance is on Railroad Ave. with a 15 ft. setback. After some discussion, Mr. Jones moved approval of the design as shown in the position as shown with adequate parking area utilizing a portion of the second lot as necessary to meet the requirement of one sq. ft. of parking for one sq. ft. of building. Motion was seconded by Col. Burke and passed unanimously. (2) The 7-11 Food Stores presented plans for their store to be built on property owned by Reno Dallas on N. E. 87th St. immediately west of the Pure Oil Station at Biscayne Blvd. The Building Inspector stated that these plans meet all building and zoning requirements as well as parking. Mr. Harris moved that this plan including signs be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed 3/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting as he did not believe grocery stores in. Miami Shores should be permitted to remain open on Sunday. (3) The Callaway Mills Co. of LaGrange, Ga. , represented by Messrs. Oscar Koeppel and A. W. Gunn, presented pictures of a prefabricated unit called a "Servaround", operated by one person for the sale of hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, etc. Their proposed location for the installation of one of these units was the Pure Oil Station at Biscayne Blvd. and 87th St. After some discussion, Col. Burke moved that the Board disapprove this unit. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously. (4) Request was made by Mr. George C. Hand, 477 N. E. 92nd St., for permit to erect a prefabricated galvanized steel lean-to on the rear of his home for storage. Mr. Jones moved that the Board grant the request providing it is on the rear of the building and painted the same color as the house and thoroughly anchored. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M. Clerk Approved:
