members were present:
Mr. Thomas B. Baden, Chairman
Mr. M. B. Arnold
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.

Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made

(1) PUBLIC HEARING ON REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO
ZONING REGULATIONS TO PERMIT SMALL DRY CLEANING PLANT.
A request was made by "60 Minute Cleaners" to install a
small package cleaning plant in the Publix Market complex on Biscayne
Boulevard near 91st Street at the Planning Board meeting of May 11, 1967.
At that time the Planning Board recommended approval of this use for a
B-2 zone. Following this recommendation, on advice of the Village Attorney,
the Council requested the Planning Board to follow the procedure for amending
the zoning ordinance. Therefore, a public hearing was called and property
owners within 500 ft. of the location were notified of this proposal.
Chairman Tom Baden asked if anyone present wished to speak
for or against this request. The only person appearing for this hearing
was Mr. Bob Hopwood representing the "60 -Minute Cleaners".
After some discussion Mr. Arnold stated that in view of the fact
that a public hearing was held before the Planning Board on June 1, 1967
after proper notice was sent out to those residing within 500 ft. of the location
and since no one appeared for or against other than the applicant, I. therefore
recommend to the City Council that an amendment be adopted permitting one
hour dry cleaning in a B-2 zone with the following provisions:
(1) That all cleaning solutions and detergents and methods of
application of same, as well as the containers in which they
are stored, of whatsoever nature or kind used by them in the
operation and conduct of their cleaning business shall be fire-
proof and have Fire Underwriters approval, and shall be
inspected and periodically approved by the Fire Department of
Miami Shores Village.

(2) It is further required that all cleaning solutions and
detergents be odorless and that no noxious fumes or vapors
be permitted in or about the premises or to emanate from
the premises of any cleaning establishment operating under,
by or through the scope of this ordinance.
(3) It is further ordained that all business conducted under,
by and through the provisions of this ordinance shall be so
operated as not to constitute any public or private nuisance and
to create no public or private offense so as to make them
objectionable to the public health, welfare and peace of Miami
Shores Village.
(4) It is further ordained that every business so conducted by
virture of this ordinance shall not employ more than 5 employees,
which shall include within its scope the owners and operators of
said business, as well as friends or members of their family
by affinity or consanguinity.
Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by Mr. John Gianaris to add 14 apartment units
to the existing Mt. Vernon Motor Lodge located at 9221 Biscayne Blvd. There
are 25 one -room motel units and one manager's apartment existing. The
proposed addition is for 4 studio apartments, 8 one -bedroom apartments and
2 two-bedroom apartments. Under present land use requirements a total
of 61, 200 sq. ft. of land would be required for existing and additional use.
There are 63, 276 sq. ft. of property on this site. The Building Inspector
reported that the setback and parking requirements had been met. Mr. Moyer
moved that the request be granted providing it meets all building code require-
ments. Motion was seconded by Mr. Arnold and passed unanimously.
(3) Final plans were presented for Mr. Gren Sutter's residence to be
built on Lot 7, Block 30, Miami Shores Sub. This is a 50 ft. lot on N. E.
97th St. east of the unimproved parking lot behind Thomson & McKinnon.
Permit to build on this lot was approved by the Council on May 2, 1967,
providing the finished floor is 20 inches above the sidewalk. This plan, not
previously submitted, called for a gravel roof which some members of the
Board felt was not in keeping with the general character of homes in Miami
Shores. Mr. Sutter stated that he agreed with the Board that a tile roof
would look better on this house in view of the fact that the roof would be seen
from a distance because of the adjoining vacant land, and in all probability
he would put on a tile roof. However, he didn't want to be told he had to
use tile and felt the Board had no right to pass on this question.
Mr. McIntosh moved that a plot plan be attached to these plans showing
the location of the building with the provision that a tile roof be given very
serious consideration in the final approval of the building. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Moyer and after further discussion was withdrawn.

Mr. Arnold argued that the Council should decide if the Board has
the authority to refuse a building permit because of the fact that the plan
doesn't have a tile roof.
(This is covered by Section 523 of the Zoning Ordinance. )
Mr. Arnold then moved that the plan as submitted be approved.
Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh. After discussion the vote was
called and the motion failed to carry by 1/3 with Messrs. Moyer, Baden
and McIntosh dissenting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 P. M.
