PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
February 22, 1962
A regular meeting of the Miami. Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P.M., February 22, 1962, at the Village
Hall, with the following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr. , Chairman
Mr. Marion B. Arnold
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and
Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(1) A request was made by Mr. Arnold Renzi for permit to
convert an existing detached garage into a game room with bathroom, at
286 N. E. 107th St., Lot 9 and the east 1/2 of 10, Block 13, Pasadena
Park Sub. This was brought before the Board because the Zoning Ordin-
ance prohibits the use of accessory buildings as living quarters. Mr.
Renzi. stated he wanted to use this for his children and at some future
time in conjunction with a swimming pool. Mr. Arnold moved that this
request be granted providing an affidavit is signed stating that it will
not be used for rental purposes. Motion was seconded by Mr. Harris
and passed unanimously.
(2) Mr. Irving Horsey, architect, presented a request made
by the Peoples National Bank to move the alley running north and south
behind the new bank building between 94th and 95th Streets to 100 ft.
further east. In the discussion that followed Mr. Harris stated he felt
that a public hearing should be held before any action is taken so that
the neighbors will be advised of the proposal to move this alley and
power lines nearer their homes. Mr. Arnold suggested that this be '
sent to the City Manager and City Attorney to determine whether or not
it requires a change of zoning.
(3) Mr. Bernard Janis and his architects presented plans
and elevations of their re -designed five -story apartment building to be
constructed on the east 4-1/2 acres of the apartment property north of
2/22/62
-2-
Biscayne Canal. Mr. Janis stated this building will comply 100% with
the South Florida Building Code and the code of Miami Shores. The
density increase is approximately 10% which has been granted on the
apartments all down the line. Mr. Janis stated that on the additional
five acres to the west they have decided not to ask for any high rise
buildings on that property and are now preparing to pave a road through
the center of it and will make a street dedication to the Village. The
five -story building will have 52 one bedroom apartments and 48 two
bedroom apartments. The height of the building will be under 50 feet.
The sewerage treatment plant will be on the north line of the property
and will be approximately in the middle of the parking lot area. The
ground will be banked around the plant and hidden with plantings. There
will be no outside cabanas around the pool.
It was Mr. Moyers opinion that the face of the building could be
more decorative but the Planning Board generally accepted the
architectural rendering and approved the appearance of the building with
the above exception.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
