PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
April 27, 1972
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 p. m. , April 27, 1972, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr,
Mr. James O. Denham
Mr. Fred G. Astor
Mr. Harry F. Smenner, Jr.
Absent: Mr. Irving E. Horsey, Chairman
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
It was reported by the Village Clerk that Mr. Horsey was resigning
from the Planning Board pending acceptance by the Council of his contract
for architectural services on remodeling of the kitchen at the Country Club,
In view of the absence of a Chairman Mr. Astor nominated Mr. Harry
Smenner to serve as Acting Chairman. Mr. Denham seconded the nomination
and it was carried.
Upon motion made by Mr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Moyer and
passed, the minutes of the last meeting were approved as written.
(1) A request was made by Dr. and Mrs. Irving Waldman, 1234
N. E. 96th Street, to construct a tennis court and fence in the rear of their
property. This was previously discussed with the Planning Board and the
applicants were asked to consider some method of putting up temporary
screening or a net above the 5 ft. chain link fence to stop balls, instead of
the original plan of a 10 ft. fence. The architect presented a sketch of the
court with proper drainage and of a fence section that could be hinged to the
top of the permanent fence and raised or lowered as needed. Mr. Astor
moved that the tennis court plan be approved subject to a substantial and
attractive fence extension method being submitted for approval to the Planning
Board for the portion of the fence that will extend beyond 5 ft. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 3/1 with Mr. Denham dissenting
because he was concerned with setting a precedent for any type of sports
facility built in the yards that might be objectionable to the neighbors.
(2) A request was made by Mr. and Mrs. Clark D. Bennett of
1210 N. E. 91st Terrace, to add a bedroom and bath to the front of their
residence using the existing side setback of 7 ft. This was the required
setback for this home before it was incorporated into Miami Shores. After a
review of the plan Mr. Astor moved that it be approved as submitted since the
4/27/72
-2-
The existing setback is 7 ft. as well as other properties in the area and
it would be inappropriate to require a different setback. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Denham and carried.
(3) Plans were presented for a residence to be built by Mr. and
Mrs. Bill L. Spencer at 9339 N. E. 10th Court. This two story residence
includes a gambrel roof covered with composition shingles. The Board
tabled action pending appearance of the architect with a color rendering of
the house plus structural details.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p. m.
