(1) This meeting was called for the purpose of taking final action on the petition for zoning changes on Shores Center Subdivision, pursuant to the public hearing held on May 24, 1962. A suggested resolution was presented to the Board by the Chairman, recommending approval of these changes. After discussion, Mr. Jones moved that the following resolution be made to the Council: WHEREAS, a public hearing was held by the Miami Shores Village Planning Board on May 24, 1962, in response to a petition for zoning changes in Shores Center Subdivision as described in public notice (copy attached hereto) issued May 16, 1962; and WHEREAS, there were no objectors to said proposed changes either in writing or in person at said public hearing; and WHEREAS, since property abutting and across the street from Shores Center Subdivision is business and motel use on the east, south and west; and WHEREAS, the property across the street on the north is apartment house use and in order not to depreciate the value of this property and to protect the aesthetic value of Miami Shores Village by the harmonious re- lationships among land uses, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: 1. That it is hereby recommended to the Village Council that said petition for zoning changes be approved as follows: (a) The north 150 ft. of that part of the subdivision presently zoned A-2, be changed to "0" classification. -2- (b) That the remainder of the north 150 ft. of said subdivision remain A-1, as at present. (c) That the part of the subdivision lying south of the north 150 ft. thereof presently zoned partly A-1 and partly A-2, be changed to B-2 zoning to conform to the present B-2 zoning on the balance of the sub- division to the south. 5/31/62 Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed 3/1 with Mr. Harris dissenting. Mr. Arnold, who could not attend this meeting, previously stated he was in favor of the change. Mr. Harris made the following statement: That he voted "no" on this as he understood that the Board must vote on this proposal as a package, or in other words, that the portion requested for "O" zoning be approved and together with that the Board must approve the portion that is requested B-2 as a package deal; that he is in favor of re -zoning the portion to "0" as requested, also not against, in theory, the portion requested as B-2 being re -zoned as B-2. However, Mr. Harris stated he is opposed taking any action on that B-2 portion at this time, until, if, and when a concrete proposed development is presented to the Board for approval, at which time he would be, if satisfactory, in favor of the B-2 re -zoning. (2) Presbyterian Church Parking Lot: The following letter was received from the Village Attorney pursuant to a letter written by the Village Manager concerning the use of land for parking in conjunction with church activities: "I have your letter of May 25th requesting my opinion as to whether or not the present schedule of regulations permits offstreet parking of automobiles in R Districts which permit the use of land therein for churches, other places of worship, Sunday school buildings and uses directly related thereto. "In my opinion the parking of automobiles where that is directly related to the church or school use is a permissive act and a change in zoning is not required." The parking layout and beautification plan was presented to the Board for action. After discussion Mr. Harris moved that the Board defer action on this plan until the residents within the area are notified that it will be considered by the Board at its next regular meeting and that the matter will be passed upon at that time, further that the area of notification will be 300 ft. on the south, west and north. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed 3/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M. Clerk Approved:
