(1) Tropical Chevrolet signs.
A request was made by Tropical Chevrolet for permission
to leave the signs painted on shop buildings without permit, as they are.
After a review of the area Mr. Baden moved that the Board grant the request
to keep the signs as painted on the buildings since they do not exceed the area
requirements. The motion was seconded by Mr. Astor and carried.
(2) Request by Miami Shores Preparatory School for permit
to convert Mt. Vernon Motel into a school (9221 Biscayne Blvd.)
Mr. Al Quinton and Mr. Jack McDevitt, representing the
school, reported that a 99 year lease had been secured by the school, pending
zoning approval, and thatthey plan to change the 26 rooms into 7 classrooms,
science lab and library. Mr. Astor moved that the Board approve the applica-
tion because of the peculiar and unusual physical conditions applying to the
property and the limited enrollment of this school, that it is impossible to
strictly apply specified provisions of our ordinance to this property, and that
the applicant will agree upon notice by the City Council to wall off the swimming
pool area for the protection of nearby residents in the event said residents
request same of the Council, and that the applicant also agreed to restrict
