PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
March 11, 1976
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning and Zoning
Board was held at 7:30 p. m. , March 11, 1976, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. James O. Denham, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Kenneth R. Phoenix
Mr. Robert Stobs, II
Mr. Albert R. Toussaint
Absent: None
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, and
Mr. Earl K. Andersen, Village Manager, were also present.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made
by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed.
(1) Request for permit was made by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence
MacCallum of 10410 N. W. 2nd Ave. , to add a family room to their residence
continuing the present side yard setback which is non -conforming. This
house was originally built under County requirements and later annexed into
the Shores. Mr. Toussaint moved that the requested setback be approved.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Stobs and passed unanimously. This action
was taken based on the fact that the setback was in existence when the
property was annexed.
(2) Request was made by Militana, Militana & Militana, Attorneys,
of 8801 Biscayne Blvd. , to leave a free standing directorysign located on the
property at the edge of the Boulevard. This sign had been erected without a
permit and would normally require Planning Board approval. Mr. Militana
stated that this is a replacement sign of on e that had been in existence prior
to their re -construction of the building, and, as such, he did not think they
would need a permit. The possible traffic hazard created by this sign was
discussed. Chairman Denham suggested contacting County or State traffic
people for an opinion. Mr. Moyer moved that this be tabled until the next meet-
ing. The motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed unanimously.
(3) Request was made by Enterprise Leasing Company to
operate an automobile leasing agency from 9027 Biscayne Blvd. Mr. Lanny R.
Dacus, their Florida Regional Manager, stated they would have 4-5 office
employees, operating about 50 cars from that location, of which there would
be 4-5 cars on the lot during the week with possibly 8-10 on the weekends.

Mr. Dacus stated there appeared to be sufficient parking space in the
plaza but if it proved insufficient there was a grass area that they would
be willing to pave for their own parking, which the owner of the land had
agreed to. The Board requested Mr. Dacus to come back to the next
meeting with a sketch of his parking plan.
(5) A request was made by Fred Astaire Dance Studios for a
license to operate a studio at 9027 Biscayne Blvd. After discussing this
use in light of the zoning, Mr. Moyer moved that the request be turned down.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Phoenix and passed unanimously.
Unfinished Business:
(a) Comprehensive Planning Act - Mr. Denham reported, after
having attended a recent meeting on this act, that an ordinance naming the
local planning agency must be enacted by July 1, 1976, even if it is the local
Planning & Zoning Board. He further reported that the County is researching
county -wide plans which can be used by the Village in preparing the compre-
hensive plan; that there is nothing for the Village Planning & Zoning Board
to do at this time.
(b) Recommendation on architect or engineer for design of Public
Works facilities - It was recommended that the Council or Village Manager
advertize for services in compliance with the Competitive Act regulations.
Mr. Robert Stobs will write up what the scope of the work should be.
Mr. Phoenix presented a sketch of the floor plan of the Village Hall
with areas indicated where extensions could be made. Mr. Phoenix will
write up the work to be done on the Village Hall.
Mr. Toussaint discussed the problems of maintaining hedge heights
and fences for policing and traffic clearance.
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m.
