Mr. Frank LuBien, temporary Building Inspector, was present in the
absence of Mr. William Bradford, who is on sick leave.
Minutes of the meeting of June 22, 1978, were approved as written
by motion made by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried.
(1) Request for a fence variance was made by Helen E. Davis,
9001 N. E. 4th Ave. Rd. (Shores Villas Condominiums) to allow a wood fence
six feel tall to be maintained in the front setback of her condominium.
Attorney L. Shroads represented Ms. Davis in her petition. Without this fence
Mr. Shroads argued, Mrs. Davis had no privacy in front of a glass door on the
street side. In the discussion that followed Chairman Toussaint stated that all
fences in the front setbacks had been cited as violations, and that the condo-
minium association had indicated to the Planning Board that they did not approve
of these fences. Mrs. Johnson moved that the request be denied. The motion was
seconded by Mr. Stobs and passed unanimously.
(2) Proposed development of land north of the Library. A plan
was submitted by Mr. Al Vazquez for replatting Lots 10 thru 14, Block 35, Miami
Shores Sub., into three residential lots. This plan proposed an L shaped lot
facing 101st Street of 10,482 sq. ft., restoration of the home facing N. E.
2nd Ave. on a lot of 9,018 sq. ft., and the third lot facing 102nd Street, totalling
12,350 sq. ft. The Board did not approve the creation of two odd -shaped lots and
approval of the plan was denied by motion made by Mr. Stobs, seconded by Mrs.
Johnson and carried unanimously.
(3) Mr. Herbert Fletcher of the Acolite Sign Co., presented an
application for an illuminated sign to be erected on the St. Rose of Lima School.
Inasmuch as the plans on hand did not indicate the exact location on the nes school
addition, Mr. Fletcher stated he would return with the latest plans to show
where the sign is to be erected.

dated June 26, 1978 concerning minimum housing standards, minimum business
