PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
September 9, 1971
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 p.m. , September 9, 1971, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Irving E. Horsey, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Fred G. Astor
Mr. James O. Denham
Mr. Harry F. Smenner, Jr.
Absent: None
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Upon motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Astor and passed
the minutes of the last meeting were approved as written.
(1) Mr. Walter Lavigne, 320 N. E. 96th St. , requested
permission to leave his 9 x 20 orchid house in its existing location. This
orchid house was approved by the Board on March 11, 1971 for size with
the understanding that it would meet the setback requirements. However, it
was constructed without permit and placed partially in the rear setback. Mr.
Sidney N. Lion, 308 N. E. 96th Street, the next door neighbor, voiced a complaint
over the violation that now exists. Mr. Walter Lavigne petitioned for a
variance to keep the orchid house in its present location because the layout as
originally presented did not leave enough space for access to his garage; that
this was the most desirable location with the encroachment toward the alley
which was not objectionable to the property owner to the rear and that it would
be expensive to try to move it now.
Mr. Kenneth Bevin, attorney for Mr, Lion, was present to
object to this location due to the fact that it violated the setback requirements.
Upon motion made by Mr. Astor, seconded by Mr. Denham and passed, the
matter will be held in abeyance for 90 days in order to give both parties an
opportunity to attend a Planning Board meeting in the hopes of working out a
compromise.
(2) Peoples First National Bank of Miami Shores, 9495 N. E.
2nd Avenue, requested permission to install an additional walk-up window on
N. E. 2nd Ave. , south of the main entry. After a review of the plan Mr.
Smenner moved that the Board grant this request. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Moyer and passed by three affirmative votes with Messrs. Horsey and
Astor abstaining for business reasons.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 p. m.
