PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
April 26, 1962
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , April 26, 1962, at the Village Hall, with
the following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr., Chairman
Mr. Elwood Jones
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Absent: Mr. Marion B. Arnold
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. Jones, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(1) Request was made for permit by Mr. Dana Bray, 10643
N. E. 10th Place, Lot 5, Block 4, Miami Shores Estates, to enlarge an
existing cabana by adding a bath and enclosed patio. The present cabana
extends five feet in the side setback. The purpose for this addition is to
provide living quarters for a member of the family.
It was Mr. Harris° opinion that this justifies a policy that
can be followed not only in this case but in the future when other requests
come in for facilities such as these. Although the zoning ordinance prohibits
the use of accessory buildings for living quarters, it was pointed out that it
would be impossible to stop an owner from sleeping in a cabana if he wished
to do so. The use can therefore only be restricted by preventing its ever
being rented. After further discussion Mr. Harris moved that the Board
recommend approval subject to the owner of the property signing an affidavit
similar to the one we have used in the past making it public record that the
property on which the main house and accessory buildings are located will
never be used for rental purposes. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones
and passed unanimously.
The Board also recommended that the Council and Village
Attorney amend the wording of the affidavit for this case so that it will not
contradict the specific purpose of the enlargement of the cabana.
(2) It was a recommendation of the Planning Board that the Council
investigate the sign violations in the Village and that the necessary action be
taken to correct these violations.
The meeting adjourned at 8:40 P. M.
Approved:
