A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 P. M. , January 25, 1968, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. Donald W. McIntosh
Mr. Irving E. Horsey
Absent: Mr. Donald W. Hoefle, Chairman
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Mr. McIntosh was asked to take the chair in the absence of Chair-
man Don Hoefle.
Minutes of the last meeting were accepted as written by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed.
(1) Request for permit was made by Messrs. Bob Weber, Vincent
DeMeo and Jay Cooper, to construct six two-story apartment buildings on
Blocks 19 and 20, El Portal Subdivision, comprising 56 one bedroom apart-
ments and 36 two-bedroom apartments, or a total of 92 units. This number
of units requires 180, 000 sq. ft. of lot area which is less than the total area
of the two blocks. The plan calls for 138 parking spaces, 136 are furnished.
After discussion Mr. Horsey moved that we accept this preliminary presenta-
tion of the use of this property for two-story apartments based on this plan.
Mr. Baden seconded the motion and added that final plans will come back for
approval and be contingent upon all other necessary requirements being met.
The amended motion was then passed unanimously.
(2) Request was made by Mr. Harold M. Kelly for permit to con-
struct a three-story apartment building on the north side of N. E. 105th Street
on the unplatted land immediately west of the Shores Condominium. This
plan calls for 18 one -bedroom apartments and 24 two-bedroom apartments, or
a total of 42 apartments. The land area required is 85, 200 sq. ft. , whereas
the area of the land available is only 83, 120 sq. ft. or a shortage of 2,080 sq. ft.
in lot area. Seventy-eight parking spaces are furnished, only 63 required.
Mr. Moyer moved that the plan as submitted be approved with a variance on
area requirement and if it requires a height variance that this be granted as
well, providing it meets all other requirements and that final plans be re-
submitted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously._

(3) A sign for the store called "Matchbox", 8823 Biscayne Blvd. ,
had been painted on the building without permit. The Building Inspector
brought this before the Board before issuing a permit inasmuch as the sign
is quite garish. Mr. Baden moved that we defer action on this until the next
meeting so that we can have an opportunity to go by and see it. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed unanimously.
(4) Request was made by Mr. Sam Murray of 128 N. E. 94th St.
Lots 10, 11, and 12, Block 22, Miami Shores Sub., to erect a 40 ft. steel
amature radio antenna tower in his rear yard 60 ft. from the lot line. Upon
motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Horsey, this was approved as
long as it meets all requirements.
(5) Plans for a proposed field house to be constructed at the Miami
Shores Village Community Center were presented by Mr. McIntosh who
explained that a special recreation committee had studied the needs of the
recreation department and arrived at this field house as the first step in an
improvement program, with the location of same as designated on the plot
plan. After discussion Mr. Baden moved that we go on record as approving
the preliminary plans for the proposed field house with the request that this
plan be in keeping with the aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood. Motion
was seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed. Mr. McIntosh abstained from the
voting.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P. M.
