PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
August 9, 1962
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , August 9, 1962, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr. , Charman
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) The first item of business was the request of Mr. Jack Lentz
for permit to __finish a room and bath in an accessory building at 930 N. E.
91st Terrace, deferred from last meeting. Mr. Lentz presented letters from
several of the neighbors stating they had no objection to this request. Mr.
Baden stated that he felt the Board should consider that the building is already
there and that by completing this shower and bath it will not necessarily tempt
this owner or future owners from trying to use it as a rental unit. After further
discussion Mr. Baden moved that the Board recommend to the Council that the
permit be granted to finish the room and bath in the accessory building at
930 N. E. 91st Terrace and that an affidavit be signed stating that this building
will never be used as a rental unit. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and
passed 3/1 with Mr. Harris dissenting as he felt that the Board was giving
a preference in this case and that it will be asked to give similar ones in the
future.
(2) Also deferred from the last meeting was the request by Mrs.
M. A. Norcross, 515 N. E. 101st St. , to convert an existing carport that is
two and one-half feet from the property line, into a studio. A letter was
received from Mr. Frank E. Ward, 511 N. E. 101st St. , the neighbor on the
side affected by the proposed variance, who asked the Board to abide by regu-
lations in determining this case. Inasmuch as the Board did not appear to be
in favor of granting this variance, Mrs. Norcross asked that action be deferred
at this time.
(3) Plans for a sign to appear on the fascia of the Kwik Chek Store
at 9055 Biscayne Blvd. , were presented by the Tropical Sign Company. The
-2-
area of this sign plus the pylon sign already approved totalled about 1049 sq. ft. ,
whereas, the regulations allow only 630 sq. ft. After some discussion, it
was suggested that the sign company resubmit their plan to come nearer the
allowed area.
(4) A request was made for a temporary sign for the Kwik Chek
Store with an area of 80 sq. ft. , whereas only 32 sq. ft. are permitted by
regulations. Mr. Baden moved that permit for this sign be denied. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
The Board discussed the promise made by Mr. Watson to tear down
the Pickin! Chicken building and signs which has not been done and asked
that the Council determine if any legal action can be taken to accomplish this.
