MIAMI SHORES VILLAGE
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
February 24, 1977
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 p.m. , February 24, 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 were approved as written by
motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Toussaint and carried.
(1) A request was made by Mr. & Mrs. Tom Fitzgerald of 801
N. E. 91st Terrace, for permit to change the roof covering on their residence
from cement tile to asphalt shingle. This request was based on a financial
hardship due to the fact that the cost estimate of a tile roof is $3500. 00, whereas
the shingle is $1840. 00. The Fitzgeralds contended there were other compo-
sition roofs in their area as well as on more expensive homes in other areas
of the Shores. This was brought before the Board because it has been an
established practice that re -roofing must be of the same type as the original
roof. After discussion Mr. Toussaint moved that the request be denied.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by Mr. David D. Lococo of 10707 N. W. 1st
Avenue, for permit to erect a 4 ft. chain link fence in the front and side yard.
In remodeling the house in 1968 the Village permitted the address to be changed
from 107th Street to N. W. 1st Avenue on which there is only a 10 ft. setback.
This now creates a question as to the established front and side yard. Zoning
regulations restrict front yard fence height to 3-1/2 ft. , of ornamental masonry
or ornamental metal but not including any wire fence. Mr. Lococo presented
a letter signed by 10 of his neighbors consenting to the chain link fence and height.
After discussion Mr. Stobs moved that the Board deny Mr. Lococo's request
for a 4 ft. chain link fence in his front yard. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Toussaint and carried unanimously.
(3) The request made by Mr. Dean R. Claussen for Waiver of Plat
on Lots 8-9-10, Block 80, M. S. Sec. #3, was again reviewed for information
on the encroachments and setback of the existing building on Lot 11. Mr.
Claussen assured the Board that he intends to remove these encroachments
when required and reported that the setback on the house on Lot 11, is 5 ft.

After discussion Mr. Phoenix moved that the Board approve the Waiver of
Plat creating two building sites from three 50 ft. lots (8, 9, & 10 of Block 80),
with no restrictions on the new east lot, and that when the west lot is being
built on that Mr. Claussen give some assurance that the encroachments will
be removed, and that the setback on the property to the west be maintained
since it is existing. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 4/1
with Mr. Toussaint dissenting because of the 5 ft. setback it will be creating.
(4) The Board reviewed the plans prepared by Mr. Bradford for
the new public works facility at 103rd Street and 17th Avenue, and the addition
to the Village Hall.
