11-08-1962 Regular MeetingMIAMI SHORES VILLAGE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING November 8, 1962 A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , November 8, 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 Mr. William Bradford, Assistant Director, were also present. Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made by Mr. Baden and seconded by Mr. Jones. Mr. Moyer expressed the sympathy of the Board on the absence of Miss Vigneron who was not able to be present due to illness. (1) The request made by Solaray Sign Co. to erect a reflecting plastic disk sign on the west side of the Biscayne Kennel Club, which had been postponed from the last meeting, was the first item to be discussed. After viewing a short motion picture showing this type of sign in other areas, followed by discussion, Mr. Jones moved that the request be granted. The motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously. After the vote the Planning Board advised the applicant that the approval was for that particu- �) lar installation and that it should not be construed to mean that an approval would be given this type sign in a different application. (2) The house plan for Mr. and Mrs. Carl Johnson on Lot 1, Block 94 (a 52 ft. lot), which was also an item that had been postponed from the last meeting, was discussed. After much discussion about the plans in general and the gravel roof, Mr. Jones made a motion to deny the request because the plan was so unique in that the design and expansiveness of the roof does not conform with the architecture of the neighborhood and the general architecture of the building would not lend itself to the surrounding aesthetics. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and when put to a vote Messrs. Jones, Moyer and Baden voted for the motion. Mr. Harris did not vote but made this comment: that he was not opposed to the expanse of the roof but was opposed to the type of roof. (3) Mr. Dan Schmidt made a request to build a house on the 11/8/62 -2- west 10 ft. of Lot 7 and all of Lot 8, Block 91, Miami Shores Section 4. This is an isolated 50 ft. lot plus 10 ft. of another lot being between houses at 426 and 444 N. E. 102nd Street. After some discussion Mr. Baden made a motion that the request be granted subject to Mr. Schmidt obtaining a letter from Mrs. Kimball, who is an adjacent property owner, stating that she does not object to the construction of the house and that she is not interested in buying the property. Mr. Jones seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. (4) Dr. Jacobson presented preliminary plans for a building to be built onLot C, Watersedge Sub. , on which he has an option. Dr. Jacobson also has an option on Lot K but would not be able to obtain a clear title thereon and would therefore be unable to build on it. The plans submitted showed that the building would be built on Lot C and that Lot K would be landscaped and used for a patio. There was no set back from the north lot line of Lot C. After a lengthy discussion it was the feeling of the Planning Board that at the present time the problem was a legal one and that it should be settled by his attorney. The meeting was then adjourned. • Approved:
