PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
May 11, 1972
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 p.m. , May 11, 1972, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. James O. Denham
Mr. Harry F. Smenner, Jr., Acting Chairman
Absent: Mr. Fred G. Astor
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
The minutes of the last regular meeting were approved by motion
made by Mr. Denham, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed.
(1) A request was made by Mr. and Mrs. Bill L. Spencer to
construct a residence with a gambrel roof at 9339 N. E. 10th Court. This
was presented to the Board at the last meeting and tabled pending appearance
of the architect with a color rendering of the house plus structural details.
After review of the architect's drawing and details Mr. Denham moved that
the Board approve Mr. Spencer's plan as submitted. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Moyer and, carried.
(2) A request was made by Mr. and Mrs. Sheldon Toomer of
1266 N. E. 94th Street, to construct a second floor addition to their
existing residence and alter the facade. The plan as presented by architect
Charles Pawley indicated a somewhat severe contemporary Spanish style
and was brought before the Board for approval of design. Mrs. Herbert
Mendell, 1260 N. E. 94th St. , an adjoining owner objected to the plan on
the basis that it would lower their property values and not fit in with the
rest of the street. However, Mr. Pawley stated he had considered the
architecture on the street and felt this design was compatible with the
- surrounding homes. Chairman Smenner asked that action on this be deferred
until a week from this date so that the Board can consider the plan further
and review the location.
(3) A request was made by the owner of Arby's Roast Beef,
9005 Biscayne Blvd. to remove the existing hat -shaped free standing sign
and install a new smaller free standing sign with the new name of the busi-
ness. After a review of the plan Mr. Moyer moved that the Board approve
5/11/72
-2-
the sign as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Denham and
carried.
(4) Details of the fence extension for the tennis court of Dr.
and Mrs. Waldman, 1234 N. E. 96th St. , were presented by Mr. Paul
Burdelsky, tennis court contractor. It was recommended by Mr. Burdelsky
that the extension be at 5 ft. which is standard for tennis courts and which
would more effectively stop the balls. Approval had been granted for a
3 ft. extention. Mr. Moyer moved that in view of the fact that standard
tennis courts have a 10 ft. fence, we recommend to the Council that this
extension be approved for 5 ft. and that the plan and materials for the
raising and lowering of this fence be approved. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Denham and carried.
(5) R. L. Developers, Inc. & Nelcar Construction Corp.
presented final plans for the 59 unit apartment building to be built at
N. E. 90th St. and 8th Ave. , along with approval of the State Pollution
Control office. Mr. Denham moved that they be approved. Motion was
seconded by Mr. Moyer and carried.
(6) A request was made by Mr. James T. Harwood of 10001
N. E. 1st Ave. for a 23 inch variance on the rear yard setback of his
home for the construction of a family room. It was pointed out that setback
requirements could be met with the facing of the lot as platted. Mr.
Denham moved that the Board interprets the setback requirements in
accordance with the plat which would give a side setback on the east side
of the building, requiring only 10 ft. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Moyer and carried.
The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
