Minutes of the meeting of September 15, 1977, were approved as
written by motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Toussaint and carried.
(1) A request was made by the Miami Shores Presbyterian Church
for approval of a Christmas scene mural to be painted on the north end of the
annex building on Park Drive. Mr. Tom Harrington, Chairman of the Christmas
Nativity, explained that it is to be painted on the existing building for the
background ofthe Nativity Pageant; that it would remain from 4-5 years being
reconditioned every two years; it will be 18 ft. high and about 100 ft. long;
will be visible only from 96th Street at a distance. After discussion, Mr.
Toussaint moved that the request be approved. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Stobs and passed unanimously.
(2) A request was made by the Miami Shores Baptist Church for
approval of a two-story classroom addition to the chapel section of present
building. This church is located in the island formed by 95th St., Grand
Concourse and 4th Avenue and was granted special building line setbacks at the
time of original construction. It was explained that this addition would not
take any of the present parking area but would be covering some open space on
the lot. After discussion Mr. Stobs moved that the request by the Miami Shores
Baptist Church for the two story addition be approved as submitted, including
a new front on the north and subject to Polution Control. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Toussaint and passed 3/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting because he
objected to the building occupying a greater percentage of land and utilizing
more green area.
(3) A request was made by Dr. Lawrence Stanfill, 9200 N. E. 6th
Avenue, for approval of a new front entrance to his building along Park Drive.
