Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Kenneth R. Phoenix
Mr. Bob Stobs, II
Absent: Mr. Albert R. Toussaint
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Mr. Moyer moved that Mr. James Denham be named the new Chairman
of the Board. The motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made
by Mr. Phoenix, seconded by Mr. Moyer and carried.
(1) A request was made by Dr. Gene Eng, 9420 Park Drive, for
permission to leave an awning carport he had erected on the Park Drive side
of his building, which is in an "O" zone across from a "C" zone. The canvas
carport was erected without a permit. After discussion Mr. Moyer moved that
the request be denied and that the structure be taken down within 30 days. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by Laura McCarthy, Inc. , Realtor, 8601
Biscayne Blvd. , to change the Zoning Ordinance, Section 504, covering sign
regulations, to permit a "sold" sign to be displayed on property. Pending
further study Mr. Phoenix moved that the request be tabled for the time being.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and carried.
(3) A letter written by Mr. Alan Kridel, 1579 N. E. 104th St. , was
forwarded to the Board by Mr. Fred Astor, for consideration by the Board of
the complaints voiced by Mr. Kridel concerning conditions on 104th St. , east
of 12th Ave. The Board discussed passing an ordinance requiring the upkeep
of property, also getting more cooperation from the Police Dept. in prohibiting
fishing and trespassing along the canal. In regard to trash on the parkway it
was suggested that the neighbors be asked to cooperate in not putting it out a week
before the collection. Mr. Bradford will look into boats and trucks in the front
yards. Chairman Denham stated he would answer this letter along these lines
and suggest that the neighbors organize themselves and insist that the trash be

(4) Mr. Bill Kofoed, 1298 N. E. 104th St. , Lot 5, Block 2, River
Bay Park Additi..r, after obtaining a permit for addition to a bedroom and
starting construction, has run into an easement problem with an adjoining
neighbor, Mrs. Arthur Gasche, 1297 N. E. 103rd St. Along the rear of the
property on 104th St. in this block there is a utility easement of 7 1/2 ft. ,
causing the properties on 104th St. and 103rd St. to be in doubt as to rear
setback lines. After checking the house plans on file it appeared that the
addition would not need a variance on the rear setback. Mr. Phoenix moved
that Mr. Bradford meet with the contractor and measure both pieces of
property to establish if there is a 7-1/2 ft. easement, that if there is no
violation they proceed with the addition; further, if the setback problem
exists that it be referred to the Council to resolve. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
