PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
June 6, 1963
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and
Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P.M., June 6, 1963, at the Village Hall,
with the following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr. , Chairman
Mr.. Marion B. Arnold
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Absent: Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. Charles H. Markel, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Harris, seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously.
(1) Mr. Irving Horsey, architect for Tropical Chevrolet,
presented a sketch of a proposed service building to be constructed along
the Railroad and abutting 87th St. and N. E. 5th Court. The first floor of
this building will be for paint and body work, with storage of cars on the
second and possibly third story. Mr. Harris thought the open parking garage
as proposed would be unattractive and detrimental to the Village. Mr.
Arnold also stated he would prefer a closed building. Mr. Moyer asked
Mr. Horsey for a rendering of this parking garage to be presented at the
next meeting.
(2) . A proposal was made for paving the parkway on three sides
of the Community Church, providing drainage and improving the parking
facilities. Letters had been sent to the property owners in the immediate
vicinity, informing them of this proposal. Mr. William Pierce, 453 N. E. 99th
St., stated that as a member of the recently appointed Landscape Committee,
he would like the committee to consider this parkway in connection with the
overall planning. Some of the neighbors stated that the parkway is being
continuously torn up by the Village trucks that park there everyday. Mr.
Harris stated that he would like to see this go to the landscape committee
before it comes to the Planning Board and moved that this matter be deferred
for consideration by the Planning and Zoning Board until the first meeting in
July. Motion was seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously.
(3) Mr. Thomas H. Teasley appeared before the Board
informally to discuss a petition to close the unused portion of N. E. 91st
Street abutting the west side of the Railroad and a portion of 89th Street

on the east and west side of the Railroad. After some discussion Mr.
Arnold moved that this be taken direct to the Council. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Harris and passed 2/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting as he stated he
felt it should be brought back to the Planning Board and then taken to the
Council.
Subsequent to the meeting, Mr. Moyer requested that these
remarks be added concerning his reasons for voting "No". (1) It wasn't on
the agenda, (2) a full Board was not present, (3) one of the Board members
had discussed this previously with Mr. Teasley and (4) there was no drawing
to find out exactly what was requested and a vote should not have been taken
on the subject at that time.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P.M.
APPROVED:
Chairman tdi
