04-25-1968 Regular MeetingMIAMI SHORES VILLAGE PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING April 25, 1968 A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , April 25, 1968, at the Village Hall, with the follow- ing members present: Mr. Donald W. Hoefle, Chairman Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr. Mr. Thomas B. Baden Mr. Donald W. McIntosh Mr. Irving E. Horsey Absent: None Mr. Thomas H. Anderson, Village Attorney, and Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, were also present. Minutes of the last meeting were accepted as written by motion made by Mr. Baden, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously. (1) The first item on the agenda was to take action on the petition of Mrs. Gail Leonard for a change of zoning on the property at 215 Grand Concourse from residential to office use. Mr. Moyer asked the Village Attorney if we grant this request what effect would it have on properties in other areas. Mr. Anderson stated that is hard to answer but added that it may well be that this property deserves some particular consideration. However, Mr. Anderson continued, it was his opinion that if this Board recommends to the Council that the use classification of the property be changed from the surrounding area that the Council will not take any action on the matter until the survey of Harland Bartholomew is made. Mr. Baden stated that the price of the property has been reduced to a more realistic price of $55, 000 and that he suggested to the broker that if there is a buyer that they approach the Planning Board for a variance in use and they will take each case as it comes up. Mr. Baden felt that it has been a question of price so far. After further discussion Mr. McIntosh moved that the Board recommend that this particular property be given special consideration for the use that has been asked for and also to pass on to the Village Council, since they have already hired Harland Bartholomew, that they contact them immediately to look into the feasibility of the usage for which this applicant has made her request. Motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey. Mr. Baden asked to amend the motion that the change requested be indicated as "O" use, whidE was accepted. Upon vote the motion passed 3/2 with Messrs. Moyer and Baden dissenting. 4/Z5/68 -2- (2) Dr. Leonard Frantz, 9800 N. E. 13th Ave. , Lot 18 & the east 1/2 of 17, Block 2, Earleton Shores, requested permit to construct a swimming pool in the rear yard, requiring a variance on the side and rear yard setbacks and a variance in off-street parking as none would be provided and there is no garage on the property. After discussing ways of moving the pool so that it will not be in the setback Mr. Horsey moved that the Board grant permission to build this pool in accordance with the setback require- ments and without a screen enclosure. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed 4/1 with Mr. McIntosh dissenting. (3) A request was made by the Miami Shores Community Church for permission to erect four directional signs at different locations in the Village. Mr. McIntosh moved that we disapprove this without prejudice. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously. (4) The Laurence Construction Co. presented preliminary plans for a 46 unit de luxe type condominium with split level apartments on the south side of 105th Street immediately west of the Shores Condominium. The required lot area for the 46 units is 101, 200 sq. ft. and the lot area pro- vided is 109, 109 sq. ft. ; 67 parking spaces are required, 92 are furnished. Plans for sewerage disposal are being made with North Miami to tie into the line being furnished to the north side of the street. Mr. McIntosh moved that the plan be approved as submitted, subject to tieing in with the North Miami sewer system. Motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed unanimously. (5) Plans were presented by Stobs, Lafferty & Stobs for a 4 story 80 unit apartment on 8th Ave. at 90th St. Apartment zoning requires 153, 600 sq. ft. of land for this number of units, the plot has only 74, 383 sq. ft. The building exceeds the height limitation and does not have adequate offstreet parking. A sewerage disposal plant is proposed to be located behind the Kwik Chek building. The architect interpreted our ordinance to allow an g.apartment with unlimited density in this zone' After discussion Mr. McIntosh moved that the Board table any action until we can get a clarification from the Village Attorney by one week from today. Motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed unanimously. (6) Mr. Day of Barry College appeared before the Board in regard to some monkeys and mice that are being kept in the old field house west of Miami Avenue between 111th St. and 115th St. Mr. Day stated that the college is asking that they be allowed to keep the animals to complete a particular phase of biological research and secondly that they be given some consideration by way of educational research if and when additional buildings are built on the main part of the campus. A complaint had been turned in to the Police Dept. concerning the unsanitary conditions in the housing of these animals. Miami Shores Village ordinance No. 231 prohibits the keeping of • • 4/25/68 -3- any animal, except household pets, within the limits of Miami Shores Village. Mr. Day was assured that if proper facilities were furnished for the housing of animals for research, consideration would be given for approval. Mr. Moyer moved that the College has until May 1st to remove these animals. Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously. It was suggested that Mr. Day contact the Health Department to find out what they require for this purpose. The meeting adjourned at 9:50 P.M. Approved:
