PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
January 10, 1963
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Boardwas held at 7:30 P.M. , January 10, 1963, 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. Harris, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(1) A sketch of a sign was presented for the Caruso Beauty Salon
to be located in the new Kwik Chek shopping center. After a discussion of
the height of the sign in comparison with the parapet of the building, Mr.
Harris moved that the Caruso Beauty Salon sign be approved. Mr. Baden
asked that the motion be amended to include that in any event the sign will
not go above the top ledge of the parapet, that is, not to exceed five feet or
the top of the parapet, with a one foot setback from the edge of the cornice.
Mr. Harris accepted the amendment and it was seconded by Mr. Baden and
passed unanimously.
(2) A sketch of two signs was presented for the AA Liquor Store
now located in the Kwik Chek shopping center, one for above the store and
the other for under the overhang of the building. Since the area of the two
signs exceeded the permitted area, it was determined that the background of
the larger sign could be cut down without affecting the overall appearance of
the sign. Mr. Harris then moved that the liquor store signs be approved pro-
vided that the combination of the square footage does not exceed the maximum
allowable by our ordinance and that the larger sign does not extend above the
parapet or five feet whichever is lower and that it be setback at least one foot
from the front edge of the cornice, with the lower sign not to exceed a height
of 12 inches. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones and passed unanimously.
(3)
The AA Liquor Store also requested a temporary sign out on
the Boulevard in anticipation of getting a permanent free-standing sign. Mr.
Harris moved that the temporary sign be permitted and that it be removed
not later than the 15th of February, set back the same distance as the Kwik Chek
sign. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones but failed to carry on a 2/2 vote

with Mr. Baden and Mr. Moyer dissenting. Mr. Baden stated that he is
against a temporary sign to begin with and in thinking ahead of other tenants
who might also want tempoary signs, it would be a bad preedd.ent to establish.
Mr. Moyer agreed with these comments 100%.
(4) The sign company for the Caruso Beauty Salon, also asked for
a small sign for under the overhang of the building and since it was within
their permitted area, Mr. Jones moved that it be approved. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Harris and passed unanimously.
(5) Mr. Dan Schmidt presented plans for a house to be built on
Lot 2, Golden Gate Park Addition Sub. , a 50 ft. lot on N. E. 92nd St. near
9th. Ave. The Building Inspector submitted a letter from the only affected
owner stating he had no objection to this proposed building. Mr. Baden stated
that he had seen the area and that the new home would enhance the location
and therefore moved. that the Board recommend approval of the plans for the
building of a home on this lot as long as the setbacks are adhered to in con-
formity with our ordinance. Motion was seconded by Mr. Jones. Mr. Harris
argued that this owner was creating a 50 ft. lot by selling. one of his lots. It
was pointed out to Mr. Harris that if it was an isolated lot, regardless of
ownership, it could be built on. The motion was then passed unanimously but
Mr. Harris stated that it was his understanding that as of now there is no
reason why any 50 ft. lot cannot be built on. for residential purposes under the
rules of the courts and the interpretation of the rulings by the Village Attorney,
provided that all other requirements as to setbacks, cube, etc. are met.
(6) Mr. Moody°s (9200 N. Bayshore Drive) request to build a
fallout shelter on Lot 11, Block 1, Bay Lure Sub. , was postponed until the
next meeting.
