Moyer, Jr. Col. Thomas F. Burke Mr. Emrys C. Harris Absent: Mr. Marion B. Arnold, Chairman Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present. In the absence of Mr. Arnold, Col. Burke moved that Mr. Jones take the chair. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed. Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written by motion made by Col. Burke, seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously. (1) Mr. Gene Baylis, architect for an apartment to be built by Mr. Elbert Bennett on Lot 8-A, Anco Sub., presented final plans for approval by the Board. The first plans were not acceptable because of the appearance of the building and flat roof. In the discussion that followed Mr. Baylis stated that Mr. Bennett was not aware that a tile roof was required or the plans would have been drawn differently, and that a tile roof would not be pradioa1 on this building as presently designed. The Board felt that future development on this street should be restricted to a better type construction and more attractive buildings than previously built. Mr. Moyer moved that approval of the plans be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed 3/1 with Col. Burke dissenting. (2) Approval was requested for an additional sign for the National Hardware store at 9815 N. E. 2nd Ave. This sign was to be hung from. the cantileverover the. sidewalk. Because of the precedent that this would establish, Mr. Harris moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 3/1 with Col. Burke dissenting. (3) Signsfor the new Miami Laundry pickup station on N. E. 6th Ave. were presented for approval. Signs were proposed for the east and south sides of the building on the plaid fascia, as well as a free-standing sign to be located 10 ft. from the street pavement, on a stand 9 ft. from • • 3/24/60 -2- the ground with a sign area 5 ft. x 8 ft. The Board felt that the signs on the building should be sufficient and that approval of the pole sign might bring in requests for other free-standing signs on Biscayne Blvd. How- ever, inasmuch as the drawing of the pole sign. did not give a very clear idea of what it looked like, the Board asked that the plans for the signs be brought back to the next meeting with a detail plan of the standing sign. (4) Mr. Scott Bishop, 435 N. E. 101st St., requested permit for a bedroom addition with an outside entrance to a screened patio. Inasmuch as Mr. Bishop agreed to install jalousies at eachend of the breezeway that connected the addition to the house, Mr. Harris moved that it be approved. Motion was seconded by Mr. Burke and passed unanimously. (5) Mr. Ed Claughton and his real estate agent were present in regard to the use of his 54 ft. lot at the southeast corner of 105th St. and N. E.. 2nd Ave. for a residence (Lot 10, Block 120). Inasmuch as the adjoining lot to the south, Lot 11, is also vacant, the exception on 50 ft. lots did not apply. Dr. Armstrong is the owner of Lot 11 and related to Mr. Claughton, so Mr. Claughton also proposed splitting the two lots which are 130 ft. deep and facing two houses on 105th St. The Board was generally in favor of any improvement of vacant property on 2nd Ave. but would not give approval for a building site without a definite propo sal and plot plan showing location and setbacks. (6) Mrs. Edith S. Clark, real estate agent, was again present with a new plan for the development of the Pickin' Chicken property. The proposal was for the building :of an exclusive shopping center. Inasmuch as a portion of this property is zoned A-2 a zoning change would be required and Mrs. Clark was instructed that a petition for change of zone would have to be made in conjunction with the owner of the property. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P. M. Approved:
