PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
May 24, 1962
A regular meeting of the Miami. Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , May 24, 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. Charles H. ' Markel, Building and Zoning Director, and the
Village Manager were also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Baden, seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.,
(1) Mr. Irving Horsey was again present with sketches for a wall
or fence to enclose the Peoples National Bank parking lots in Block 28.
It was proposed to construct a solid block wall on the east side of the parking
area graduating it down to the height of a Colonial design concrete picket
fence to be constructed along 94th and 95th Streets. Mr. Horsey pointed
out that this type fence fits in with the architecture of the new building.
Mrs. David Margolin thought a picket fence was very un-
attractive and wanted a modern decorative block wall to match the surrounding
homes. Mrs. Ilah Sexton, 230 N. E. 94th St. , wanted to see the picket
fence moved back with low plantings on the street side.
After discussion Mr. Jones moved that the Board approve the
five-foot wall on the east side of Lots 11 and 19, Block 28 as required by
ordinance tapering down to the picket fence to be constructed on the south
side of Lots 18 and 19, and Lot 17 up to the drive on the south side of the
building, with a picket fence on the north side of Lots 11 and 12, and that
the peers will be of brick as well as the outside facing, with a hedge on the
inside of the picket fence of approximately 24" in height. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(2) A letter was received from the Presbyterian Church asking
for consideration of a zoning change on Lots 11 through 18, Block 100, M. S.
Subdivision, from residential to X or parking in conjunction with the Church
activities. The Board set June 14th for this hearing.

(3) ZONING HEARING ON SHORES CENTER SUBDIVISION
Pursuant to public notice, Chairman Moyer opened a hearing
on the petition for zoning changes in the Shores Center Subdivision filed by
the owners, Edward E. Ellis, William B. Ellis, Thomas J. Ellis, III, and
P. L. Watson. Whereupon Mr. Watson approached the Board and amended
the petition to the extent of reducing the amount of "0" zoning requested
which changed the petition to read as follows:
"We request that the area described as the North 150 feet
of that part of said Tract A of Shores Center currently zoned
"A-2" be rezoned to zoning classification "0", so as to
permit the erection thereon of a private office building for
United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company;
"That the remainder of the North 150 feet of said Tract A
remain zoned "A-1", as at present;
"That that part of said Tract A lying South of the North 150
feet thereof and North of the South line of the NW/4 of
SE/4 of Section 6, Twp. 53 South, Range 42 East (according
to the plat of Shores Center, recorded in Plat Book 49,
at page 42, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida),
be rezoned from the present "A-1" classification to "B-2"
zoning, to conform to the current zoning of the area adjacent
thereto on the South."
The Chairman then invited those present to speak for or.
against the proposed change.
Mr, Gramlich, a representative of the Terrydale Corporation
who proposes to build an office building for the United States Fidelity &
Guarantee Company, stated that they could get 40 parking spaces on this
plot. Mr. Colberg, of the U.S.F. & G. local office stated they were agree-
able to accepting this smaller area.
The revised petition was made at the insistance of Mr. Paul
Kinney who wished to re -locate the parking from directly across from his
apartments on the north side of N. E. 92nd Street. Mr, Kinney was present
and stated that he wanted to go on record as not objecting to this office
building on the aorner and the rezoning to B-2 of the portion running east and
west to Club Drive.
Mr. John G. Gianaris, owner of the Mt. Vernon Motel, and
Mr. and Mrs. Albert DeJacomo, owners of the Albertts Motel, also spoke
in favor of this change. Mr. Frank O. Pruitt and Mr. Duke Reynolds
were also present on behalf of this proposed insurance office.
Mr. Moyer asked the Board to take the matter under advisement
until there is a full Board present and promised to have a recommendation
