PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
July 8, 1965
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P.M. , July 8, 1965, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Emrys C. Harris, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. M B. Arnold (arrived late)
Absent: Mr. Donald W. Hoefle
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was
also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed.
(1) Preliminary plans were presented for a 4 -unit apartment
house to be constructed by Mr. and Mrs. James R. Menna on parts of
Lots 23 and 24, Block 63, Miami Shores Sub. The square foot area require-
ment for four 2 -bedroom apartments is 8800 sq. ft, whereas this lot area
is 8785.26 sq. ft. requiring approximately a 15 sq. ft. variance. The Board
discussed the flat roof shown on the drawing and felt that this would not be
in harmony with the other apartments on that street, all having pitched
roofs. Mr. Arnold moved that the plan be approved with a recommendation
that it be changed to a raised roof. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and
passed unanimously.
(2) Plans were presented for a residence for Gerald J. Green
on 1/2 of Lot 4 and all of Lot 5, Block 51, 450 N.E. 94th St. The house
is to have a Mansard roof and otherwise meets all requirements. After
reviewing the plans Mr. Arnold moved that they be approved. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(3) A letter was received from Blackwell, Walker and Gray
on behalf of the Alliance Realty, Inc. amending their petition for a zoning
change on Lots 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14, Block 35, Miami Shores Sub. from
the original request of an "O" classification to an "A-1" classification in
order to construct a five -story apartment house on this land. Mr. Arnold
moved that this hearing be set for September 2nd at 7:30 P. M. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(4) Parking lot plans were presented for the Miami. Shores
Presbyterian Church on the north side of 96th St. , east of 6th Ave. Similar
-2-
7/8/65
plans were approved by the Planning Board on June 14, 1962. After
discussion Mr. Arnold moved that the parking plan be approved as sub-
mitted by the Presbyterian Church but with the recommendation that the
alley be one way for traffic east or, as an alternate, that there be in
addition to the stop sign at 6th Ave. a sign saying "Right Turn Only on 6th
Ave." Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(5) Alteration plans for the Norton Tire Co. at 8801
Biscayne Blvd. were reviewed, which consisted of enclosing two bays
of the former gasoline station. Upon motion made by Mr. Moyer,
seconded by Mr. Arnold, these plans were unanimously approved.
Mr. Bradford reported that he had checked on the roof air-
conditioning unit at Miami Avenue and 106th St. and was told they intended
to make some improvement.
Mr. Baden mentioned some violations of the sign ordinance
by real estate agents, especially the large sign at 93rd Street and
Biscayne Blvd.
