PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
August 3, 1961
A special meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P.M., August 3, 1961, at the Village Hall, with
the following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Absent: Mr. M. B. Arnold, Chairman
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and Mr.
William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present.
In the absence of Mr. Arnold, Mr. Harris moved that Mr. Moyer
take the chair. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(1) Request was made for a pole sign advertising the real estate
office of Mr. Ben McGahey at 9050 N. E. 6th Ave. After some discussion
Mr. Baden moved that the Board approve the request as presented since
area requirements meet regulations and it conforms with existing signs in
the immediate area. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
(2) Mr. Jack Lentz, 830 N. E. 91st Terrace, requested permit
to finish part of a non -conforming building on the rear of his lot into an extra
bedroom and bath. This building now has two apartments in it, converted
without permit by a previous owner who was stopped from converting the
remainder of the building into two more apartments. Mr. Lentz wished to
convert part of this unfinished area into an extra bedroom and bath for his
family, to be used eventually as a cabana in conjunction with a proposed pool.
Mr. Harris moved that the Board turn down this request in view of the fact
that the history of this building from the beginning has been non -conforming,
and the previous owner was aware of the fact that the Village would not permit
any additional expansion of the rental spaces of this building and the petitioner
tonight states he was aware of this fact when he recently purchased the
property. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously. Mr.
Lentz indicated that he would appeal this action.
The meeting adjourned at 8:05 P.M.
