Minutes of the last meeting were accepted as written by motion made by Mr. McIntosh, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed. (1) A request was made by Broward Drugs, 9600 N. E. 2nd Ave. , to erect signs on the cantilevered overhang that total 213 sq. ft. , whereas, the permitted sign area for the store is 183 sq. ft. Mr. Gene Duffy, repre- senting the Electro Sign Company and Broward Drugs, was present. After a review of the plan Mr. Baden moved that we recommend that the word "Prescriptions" be eliminated from the total display sign which will make it conform and that it be approved as conforming. Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously. (2) A request was made by Uncle John's Pancake House, 9099 Biscayne Blvd. for five additional signs. After reviewing this plan and the total sign area Mr. McIntosh moved that the signs be approved as presented with a recommended variance of ten feet on the area permitted. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously. (3) Final plans for Arby's Restaurant at 90th Street and Biscayne Blvd. were presented. These plans call for 44 seats at outside tables and 10 seats inside. A question arose as to whether outside eating is permitted in the zoning ordinance, which reads under Permitted Uses: "(a) Restaurants in which service is provided primarily at tables or counters entirely within a building may also provide service to occupants of motor vehicles standing 5/9/68 -2- entirely within the boundaries of the plot on which such restaurant is located and in places designated therefor on the site plan approved for such use, as provided in Article VI. " Mr. Baden moved that the Board recommend to the Council that the plans as submitted be approved provided, however, (1) that there will be adequate irrigation of the landscaping, (2) that the Village Attorney approve the matter of service at outside tables and (3) that readable plans be provided. Motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed unanimously. (4) The Stobs-Lafferty plan for an 80 unit apartment building to be constructed on Lots 1 and 2, Asbury Park Sub. (A-2 zone) were again before the Board. At the last meeting the Planning Board had re- quested an opinion from the Village Attorney as to apartment regulations in an A-2 or motel zone. This advice had been given by Mr. Anderson, August 19, 1964, in a similar situation concerning the Mt. Vernon Motel, which reads in part as follows: "It is therefore my opinion that where the specific requirements in A-2 do not meet the case, the applica- tion for permit is required to conform to the require- ments of A-1 as modified by Article VI. " In view of this opinion the applicants requested variances to allow a four-story height, approximately a 50% shortage in land area and a shortage of ten parking spaces. After some discussion Mr. Horsey moved that the Board recommend that variances be granted in height, density and parking and that the plan be subject to approval of the sewer system by the State Board of Health. Motion was seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously. (5) A request was made by Mrs. Lafata, 179 N. E. 94th Street, to put a screened enclosure on the front of her house. After a review of this proposal Mr. McIntosh moved that the request be denied. Motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9;:05 P. M.
