PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
June 8, 1961
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P.M., June 8, 1961, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. M. B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Absent: Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, Mr. William
Bradford, Assistant Director and the Village Manager, were also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(1) The sign for the A & P parking lot was referred back to the
Planning Board inasmuch as the representative from the sign company had
requested permit to raise it several inches to allow greater clearance at
the bottom of the face of the sign. Mr. Moyer moved that the Board grant
permit to raise the sign 9 inches. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and
passed unanimously.
(2) A sign was presented for the addition to the Tropical Chevrolet
building which was in excess of the area requirements by the use of 5 ft.
letters. After some discussion, Mr. Jones moved that the Board grant permit
for a sign composed of three-foot letters without any other neon lighting, or
30 inch letters with two strips of neon, with no flashing letters or moving
neon lighting. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
(3) Mr. Bradshaw of Tropical Chevrolet also presented a sketch
of a concrete rail fence for approval to use as the wall to surround the new
car lot north of the Miami. Laundry (on 3 sides as prescribed by the Council).
Mr. Jones moved that the Board recommend to the Council that this type of
rail fence be permissible rather than a block wall. Motion died for lack
of a second.
(4) Margaret Raymond, 933 N. E. 99th St., E. 9 ft. of 16, 17 and
the W. 16 ft. of 18, Block 170, M.S. Sub. , requested permit to make an
alteration to her house, replacing a window with a door in the front area of
the house for convenience in using a room for a real estate office. Mr.
Moyer moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones
and passed unanimously.

(5) Mrs. Spears, 10659 N. E. 10th Pl., S. 5 ft. of Lot Z, 3 and
the N. 57-1/2 ft. of 4, Block 4, Miami. Shores Estates, requested permit
to construct a pump house in the rear setback at a height equal to the
existing pump house of 78'x. Mr. Jones moved that the Board grant request
for a new pump house at the same height as the old one, specifically to
house a filter and tanks. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed
unanimously.
(6) Mr. Jones' latest plan for the construction of an office building
on Lot B, Block 59, M. S. Sub., was submitted to the Planning Board.
After a review of the plan, Mr. Arnold moved that the Board go on record
in recommending to the City Council that they rescind their previous
action on this plan and that we not grant permit for any commercial type
building in any area of the Village without some offstreet parking on the same
plot as the proposed building, and that we not, under any circumstances,
approve a plan where right angle parking across the parkway is planned which
will create a traffic hazard because in order to back out of that parking area
it would be necessary to cross the center line of the street; and that accord-
ing to Mr. Markers figures this plan calls for 3999 sq. ft., whereas, the
minutes of the City Council meeting show that they approved 3500 sq. ft.;
and, further, that in order that there will not be any mistakes in plans or
the attitude of the Planning Board, either the Chairman or someone acting
in authority, will initial the plan submitted to us. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(7) Mr. Toe Paparo appeared before the Board in regard to the question
of a rear setback on Lot 6B, Anco Sub. After some discussion, Mr. Jones
moved that the Board recommend a variance that the rear yard setback be
figured from the rear line of the platted lot on 6B inasmuch as the Flood
Control has asked that the bulkheading be four feet from the established
lot line, since this is the established setback on the lot to the west. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 9:25 P. M.
