following members present:
Chairman Donald W. Hoefle
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Thomas B. Baden

Mr. Irving E. Horsey
Absent: None
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, Mr. John
W. McIntyre, Acting Village Manager, and Mr. James G. Phillips of Harland
Bartholomew & Associates, were also present.
Minutes of the last regular meeting were approved as written by
motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed unanimously.
(1) A request was made at the last meeting by Miss Elsie Baioff,
336 N. E. 98th Street, to add toilet facilities to an existing non -conforming
accessory building. The Building Inspector had been asked to prepare a
report on the condition of this building. Mr. Bradford presented pictures
showing that work had been resumed on this alteration although it had been
ordered stopped, and that (1) the septic tank and drain field are sub -standard
for the main house without consideration of the new facilities being requested,
(2) there is no tie beam in the accessory building, (3) the rafters are not
up to code, (4) no support for wood beam, (5) the building has no foundation,
(6) electric service to building not adequate for living accommodations and
(7) window installation not to code.
Miss Baioff stated that she wanted to use this room in part for
storage and a sewing room. Mr. McIntosh asked if she had ever advertised
for roomers. Miss Baioff stated that she had some time ago because she
needed someone in the house. She stated that there were three people living
in the house now, herself, her mother and a personal friend, but that she had
lots of relatives and friends coming down for the season.
On being questioned about contacting her neighbors for their
consideration of this remodeling, Miss Baioff stated that she had not contacted
anyone but that they would be happy to have her fix the place up. The Board
showed Miss Baioff copies of statements signed by ten neighbors objecting to
her alterations to the existing garage on the grounds of multiple family use.
Miss Baioff was- advised that the Board had copies of an ad
which appeared in the Miami Herald on the preceding day, January 22, 1969,
1/23/69
-2-
in which she had advertised under "Rooms for Rent" a bed -sitting room
with private entry and bath. Miss Baioff answered that she knew other
people who rent rooms also.
Mr. McIntosh moved that the request for permit to add toilet
facilities in the existing non -conforming building be denied; that if any work
is to be done it should conform with the South Florida Building Code in its
entirety, and that unless new construction adjoins the existing house whereby
we will be assured there will not be a separate living unit, then I recommend
to the Council denial of any additional work to be done to this building. Further-
more, I recommend that Mr. Bradford send a letter to this applicant listing
the violations that have existed and now exist and that if they are not ceased
immediately that the necessary steps be taken to see that said violations are
eliminated. Motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by Mr. Walter A. Frederich, Jr. to con-
struct a three bedroom, two bath residence on Lot 6, Block 1, El Portal
Subdivision. This is a 50 ft. lot between 440 and 464 N. E. 91st Street. Mr.
Bradford reported that the plan meets cubic content requirement and all set-
backs. Mr. Baden moved that the Board grant this request to Mr. Frederich
as long as it conforms with all setbacks and other zoning requirements.
Motion was seconded by Mr. McIntosh and passed unanimously.
(3) A request was made by Biscayne Kennel Club for permit to
add 80 ft. to the east end of the Grandstand. After a review of the plans Mr.
Horsey moved that the Board approve this request subject to compliance
with the State Board of Health Code and the local building code and that we
grant them a temporary permit for foundation: Motion was seconded by Mr.
Moyer and passed unanimously.
(4) At this point the meeting was turned over to Mr. James Phillips
of Harland Bartholomew & Associates, who wanted to get an expression from
the Board on the administration of the zoning ordinance. Mr. Phillips
stated that by Section 16. of the Village Charter the Board has all the
necessary zoning authority required and it was his recommendation that the
Village stay under the provisions of the Charter rather than going under the
State enabling Act. Mr. Phillips suggested in a new ordinance that some of
the County zones and districts be applied for uniformity, as well as changing
cubic foot requirements to square foot requirements.
The following list of zoning questions were given to Mr. Phillips
for consideration of new zoning requirements:
1. Town house zoning.
2. Apartment density
3. Commercial zone outdoor eating.
4. Parking regulations for campers and house trailers.
