PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
September 13, 1973
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 p.m. , September 13, 1973, at the Village Hall, with
the following members present:
Mr. Fred G. Astor, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. James O. Denham
Mr. Donald W. McIntosh
Absent: Mr. Kenneth R. Phoenix
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made
by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. McIntosh and carried.
(1) A request was made by Mr. Robert Wheeler for setbacks
and access road along Biscayne Blvd. between 100th and 101st Streets, in
order to build on Lot D, Weeks Subdivision. This subdivision has a platted
12 ft. access road, unimproved. Because of the size of the house being
planned Mr. Wheeler wanted to know if he could setback 25 ft. from the
original property line. After discussion Mr. Denham moved that the request
for a variance reducing the front yard setback from 25 ft. to 13 ft. be denied.
The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. McIntosh then moved that the Board
table any action on this particular application until further study can be made
by the Planning and Zoning Board in relation to how this property was platted
and conditions for the 12 ft. dedication, and that Mr. Wheeler get in touch with
the State Road Department as to what he can or cannot do in regard to entries
on the Boulevard. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 3/1
with Mr. Denham dissenting.
(2) A request was made by Catherine Kohnen to construct a
two bedroom residence on Lot 9, Block 1, Bonmar Park. This lot is on
the south side of N. W. 99th St. at the alley east of N. W. 2nd Ave. and
has a building on it composed of a garage and efficiency apartment. The
applicant stated that she has owned the lot since 1959. It was pointed out that
this building (on which there are no plans in the Building Department) is a
non -conforming building. After some discussion and review of the plan
Mr. McIntosh moved that the request be granted based on the fact that the
land was owned since 1959, providing it meets all setback requirements and
that the present structure be demolished. The motion was seconded by Mr.
-2 -
Moyer and passed unanimously.

(a) A request was made by Mr. Jack Arias to build a single
family residence on a lot between 95th and 96th Streets on the
west side of Biscayne Blvd. , in Block 75, Miami Shores Sub.
Lots 1, 2, 3, 3A and 4 were previous divided into five building
sites as indicated by the tax roll with five individual owners.
Mr. Arias proposed to build on Lot 3 and a portion of 3A, with
a Waiver of Plat, as required by Dade County. All setback
requirements were met. Mr. Denham moved that the Board
approve the Waiver of Plat for Lot 3 and a portion of 3A. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed by 3 affirmative
votes with Mr. McIntosh abstaining because he had done a survey
for this applicant.
(b) Request was made by Mr. Jack Arias to replat the
property at 215 Grand Concourse to create three building sites.
Mr. Arias presented a sketch showing three building lots based
on use of a portion of Grand Concourse and 93rd Street rights-of-way.
This sketch also indicated that the present house will encroach
on one of the proposed lots. Mr. Arias did not plan to demolish
this house at the present time. After discussion Mr. Moyer moved
that the Board deny the request for the dividing of the property
into three building sites by virtue of the fact that the old house is
going to remain there. The motion was seconded by Mr. Denham
and passed by three affirmative votes with Mr. McIntosh abstaining
because of conflict of interest.
(c) A request was made by the General Council of Assemblies
of God, 9405 Park Drive, to add 4, 000 sq. ft. of warehouse area
to their existing building. The Board found the proposed parking
arrangement unacceptable because of the necessity to back out of
the south parkin°t' By eliminating spaces along the south boundary
of the parking lot and re -arranging the others a better traffic flow
could be arrived at while still maintaining 26 spaces which met
requirements. Mr. Denham moved that the plot plan for the additional
warehouse space be approved with the provision that the parking on
Lot 8 be revised so that it does not require that the traffic back out
on Park Drive and providing further that it meets all other code
requirements. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed.
(d) Zoning ordinance revisions - The Chairman asked that
-3-
the Board be prepared to discuss these revisions at the first
regular meeting in October, that is, October 11, 1973.
