PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
April 14, 1977
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 p. m. , April 14, 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. Robert Stobs, II
Absent: Mr. Albert R. Toussaint
Minutes of the last regular meeting of February 24, 1977, were
approved as written by motion made by Mr. Phoenix, seconded by Mr. Moyer
and carried.
(1) Final plans were presented for Dr. Jay Ellenby's tennis
court to be constructed at 1009 N. E. 94th Street. After a review of the
plans with Dr. Ellenby, Mr. Phoenix stated that since the neighbors have no
objection to this tennis court and since the owner is going to provide drainage
and maintain a minimum of 10 ft. from the property line, and that he maintains
or adds to the shrubbery, he would move that it be approved. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(2) Mr. Osmond C. Howe, 975 N. E. 94th Street, appeared before
the Board to request approval of a 2-1/2 ft. walkway along the rear setback
of his proposed pool. The regulations for a rear pool setback where there is
no alley, set as a guideline (not covered in the Zoning Ordinance) call for a
rear setback for the pool of 7-1/2 ft. with a pool screen at 5 ft. Mr. Howe
claimed a unique situation in that the property abutting his property on the
rear was a very large lot with much open area. After discussion Mr. Phoenix
moved that the request for paving within 2-1/2 feet of the rear property line be
denied, based on the guidelines set up by the Planning Board and Council. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Stobs but failed to carry on a 2/2 vote.
Mr. Moyer asked who is responsible for enforcement of zoning
regulations. He also suggested that the Village bulletin be used to advise people
of the zoning regulations.
The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p. m.
