PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
January 13, 1966
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , January 13, 1966, at the Village Hall, with
the following members present:
Mr. Thomas B. Baden, Chairman
Mr. Marion B. Arnold
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Emrys C. Harris
Mr. Donald W. Hoefle
Absent: None
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. Arnold and passed unanimously.
(1) Mr. Jim Brennan, Mr. W. A. Orgell and Mr. Day, repre-
senting Barry College, re -submitted a plan for an equipment storage building
to be constructed on the north side of the present disposal plant, along Miami
Avenue. The Board had previously asked for a more decorative type of
building with landscaping. Because of the present building that it will be
attached to, the contractor felt that this plan would be more suitable. Mr.
Brennan assured the Board that they will do additional landscaping to shield
the present plant and the equipment building from the homes on 111th Street.
Mr. Arnold moved that the plan be approved with the flat roof as presented
and with the definite understanding that it will be landscaped more densely
than it is at present on the south side and the west side. Mr. Hoefle asked
that the motion be amended to include that trees be put in at least 10 ft. high
as that is the height of the roof and that low foliage be planted that will grow
up to four feet. Mr. Arnold accepted this amendment and the motion as
amended passed 4/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting. Mr. Moyer stated that he
is opposed to having a building of this kind built across from a residential
area, a commercial warehouse type building, because it spoils the aesthetics
of Miami Shores and that they have plently of room on this property where
it could be constructed.
(2) R=epresentatives of the Baptist Church were present for
permit to pave their parking lot, Lots 9 thru 12, Block 53, and to ask the
Board how they wished it to be landscaped. After a review of the plan

Mr. Arnold moved that the paving be approved at this time but that it be
brought back to the Planning Board with a detail landscaping plan that will
be done immediately after the paving is put in. Motion was seconded by
Mr. Harris. Mr. Hoefle thought we should have a letter from the neighbor,
Mr. Cook, as to his feeling in regard to the parking lot in back of his home
and asked to amend the motion that before starting work that they bring in
a letter from Mr. Cook. The amendment was accepted and the motion as
amended was passed unanimously.
(4) Mr. Hoefle presented a plan to construct nine townhouses
on some of the unplatted land sh of the condominium on the south side of
105th Street. In the discussion that followed Mr. Harris stated that he
didn't think the Board could take any action on it until our Village Attorney
gives us an interpretation on this type of buildhig, if it is an apartment or
a residence. Mr. Arnold then moved that this be presented to the City Council
at the next meeting for an opinion as to the classification of this type of
structure, if it meets the present apartment zoning in that area and the
Council's opinion of town houses. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and
passed by four affirmative votes as Mr. Hoefle did not participate.
Mr. Baden brought up the status of the landscaping of the
Presbyterian Church parking lot. Mr. Bradford stated he had talked with
the architect who reported that they are in theprocess of getting prices and
awarding contracts.
Criticism was voiced over the meager landscaping done by
Tropical:. Chevrolet along their parking lot on 6th Avenue.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 P. M.
