PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
May 23, 1968
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 P. M. , May 23, 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
absent.
In the absence of Mr. Hoefle, Mr. Baden was asked to take the
chair.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed.
(1) Mr. Cloyd Bennett of The Miami Montessori Institute, Inc.
was present to petition the Board for a permit to construct a school on the
south half of Lot 24, Lot 25, 26, and the north half of Lot 27, Block 59,
Miami Shores Sub. , a tract of land 150 ft. x 150 ft. , along the Railroad
south of 92nd Street. Mr. Bennett stated that the present enrollment of
their school at 184 N. E. 99th Street is 50; the proposed enrollment of a
new school would be approximately 100. The school sessions would be of
three-hour duration and at one time the maximum number of students would
be approximately 65.
This property is in the "0" zone which permits "Private
schools conforming to the same plot size standards as prescribed for public
schools by the State Board of Education. " The minimum plot size for a
school so prescribed is ten acres. Mr. Bennett contended that a school of
this size with only three classrooms and no outside activities did not need
ten acres.
Chairman Baden stated a zoning change of this nature
would require a public hearing. In the discussion that followed, it was
learned that Mr. Bennett had no title to, nor equity in, the property in
question and Mr. Bennett was requested to get an option on the property in
order for the Board to consider an amendment to the zoning ordinance to
permit improving the property as requested. Mr. McIntosh moved that a
public hearing will be held provided Mr. Bennett furnishes the necessary
satisfaction to the City Clerk to allow the Board to hold a public hearing.

(2) Architect James Nunn presented a plan on behalf of
Mr. E. D. Dickinson, 341 N. E. 92nd Street, to build a utility room on the
garage which will extend into the setback. No plot plan was presented
showing dimensions of the variance involved. The Board asked that a
plot plan be presented before it can be considered.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 P. M.
