A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 P. M. , February 23, 1967, at the Village Hall with the
following members present:
Mr. Thomas B. Baden, Chairman
Mr. Marion B. Arnold
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Absent: Mr. Donald W. Hoefl
Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written by
motion made by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed.
(1) A request was made to build on Block K, El Portal Subdivision,
by Mrs. Hanger. This block is composed of only 5800 sq. ft. and surrounded
on all sides by streets, located on N. E. 90th Street and Park Drive. The
proposed house would require a two foot variance in the rear side yard on
each side of the house. After some discussion Mr. Arnold moved that the
variance be granted with plans coming back for approval. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by the Atlantic Service Station, 8900
Biscayne Blvd. to erect a larger and higher sign than the one they now
have. Mr. Gene Duffy was present representing the service station. The
Building Inspectar had prepared a sketch of the existing service station
signs on the Boulevard which indicated that the Atlantic sign presently in
use exceeded the height of all others and the area exceeded all but one.
Mr. Moyer moved that the request for the larger sign be denied. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously.
A discussion took place concerning the unattractive appearance of
houses with the finished floor close to the ground, and Mr. Moyer requested
that the following .recommendation be forwarded to the Council: that in regard
to Section 507 of the zoning ordinance that an additional requirement be made
that the finished floor of houses to be erected on fill shall be a minimum of
two feet about the finished grade of the lot.
The Planning Board also recommended to the Council that immediate
consideration be given to naming another member to the Board.
The; meeting adjourned at 8:30 P. M.
