PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
August 24, 1961
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P.M., August 24, 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. William Bradford, Assistant Building and Zoning Director,
was also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
(1) Mr. Irving Horsey, architect, presented sketches and
plot plan for a new building for the Peoples National Bank to be located on
Lots 13 through 17, Block 28, Miami. Shores Sub., which is the property
fronting on the east side of N. E. 2nd Ave. between 94th and 95th Sts. The
sketches indicated that the main entrance of the bank would be at the corner
of 95th St. and 2nd Ave. with drive-in windows off 95th St. Because of the
traffic congestion on 95th St., the Board suggested placing the bank on the
94th St. corner or have the entrance to the drive-in windows on 95th St.
with exits on 94th St. The Board generally approved the plan and Mr.
Horsey stated he would consult with Mr. Usina as to his wishes on the
location of the building considering the best flow of traffic possible and
return to the Board when the bank is ready with their final plans.
(2) A plan submitted by James F. Jones was presented to
the Board for permit to construct a fallout shelter by putting one of Mr.
Jonese passenger train cars underground in the parking lot behind the
proposed buildings designed for the vacant property south of the Boulton
Insurance building. After some discussion, Mr. Jones suggested that the
Board take this under advisement for further study and invite Mr. Jones to
come back to the next meeting and in the meantime have a meeting with
the Council on this subject as soon as convenient. Mr. Harris thought bomb
shelters should be encouraged but before approving it, Mr. Harris would
like to have it submitted to the Civil Defense office to see if they have any
suggestions and if it more or less meets with their approval. Since Mr.
-2-
Bradford said that it did comply, Mr. Harris recommended that this
proposed plan be approved inasmuch as the plan as presented meets
recommended suggestions of the office of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed three to one; with Mr.
Jones declining to vote because he wanted more time to consider and study
it.
(3) Plans for an 8 -unit apartment were submitted by the
owner, Mr. W. Blatnik, to be constructed on Lot 6B, Anco Subdivision,
with an area variance of 650 sq. ft. requested. This floor plan is to be
the same as the apartment immediately west of this location at 1.316
N. E. 105th St., also owned by Mr. Blatnik, on which a similar variance
was approved. Mr. Jones moved that the request be granted. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 P. M.
