MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
January 13, 1977
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 p. m. , January 13, 1977, at the Village Hall, with the follow-
ing members present:
Mr. James O. Denham, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Kenneth R. Phoenix
Mr. Albert R. Toussaint
Mr. Robert Stobs, II
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, was also
present.
Minutes of the last regular meeting of November 11, 1976 were
approved as written by motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Toussaint
and passed.
(1) A request was made by Dr. Jay Ellenby, 1009 N. E. 94th
Street, Lots 1-9, Block 1, Belvidere Park, Miami Shores, to construct a
tennis court on his property which will require a variance on fence height
and special approval for lighting the court.
The Planning Board reviewed (a) the plot plan of the property
which abuts streets on all sides; (b) the type of screening to be used;
(c) landscaping and drainage plans; and (d) the action taken on another residential
tennis court approval of several years ago.
Mr. Toussaint moved that the Board approve Dr. Ellenby's plan
as submitted provided that he provides the Building Inspector with a suitable
grading and drainage plan with specification for an open mesh screening and
landscaping to be shown on the plan. Mr. Moyer seconded the motion with the
addition that approval is granted because the property consists of an entire
block with no immediately adjacent neighbors. The motion was carried unanimously.
The lighting was not approved pending the Board viewing some
residential lighted courts.
(2) Mr. Moyer requested that the Village management ask the Fire
Department to use N. E. 2nd Ave. instead of Miami Ave. when going south.
(3) Mr. Bradford reported on the plan of Tropical Chevrolet to
use the old Dallas Glass building for a minor repair shop. The Board advised
him to make sure it meets the fire code with a fire wall between the garage
area and office area.

(4) Mr. Denham asked the status of ramps for handicapped at the
City Hall, Library and Community Center. Mr. Phoenix moved that these
ramps be provided when alterations are made to the buildings. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Stobs and passed unanimously.
(5) Mr. Denham commented on the urgent need for a tree replacement
program to provide uniform landscaping and asked the Planning Board to give
support to this project and work with the Beautification Committee. It was
recommended by the Planning & Zoning Board that the Village administration
pursue landscaping as a priority item and that the Board will be glad to work
with the committee; also that the Board feels that it is very important that it
be done as soon as possible so that property values do not decrease due to
poor appearance.
The meeting adjourned at 8:35 p.m.
