PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
October 26, 1978
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning & Zoning Board was
held at 7:30 p.m., October 26, 1978, at the Village Hall, with the following
members present:
Mr. Albert R. Toussaint, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mrs. Roberta Johnson
Mr. J. S. Palmer
Mr. Robert Stobs (arrived late)
Mr. Sam Ackley, Village Manager, Chief Fletcher, and Council
representatives Mayor Farina, Bowen and McIntosh, were also present.
(1) Minutes of the meeting of September 28, 1978, were approved
as written by motion made by Mrs. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Moyer and carried.
(2) Mrs. Paula G. Clifford requests permit for a new house to
be built at 1201 N. E. 100th Street, Lot 1, Block 5, Earleton Shores. The
plan calls for demolishing the present house, which has been done, and re-
constructing a new house with one wood frame wall on the second floor, a fiberglass
shingle roof, and maintaining a non -conforming side setback.
After discussion of the fiberglass roof, Mrs. Johnson moved
that it be denied. The motion was seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed 4/1 with
Mr. Stobs abstaining, because he didn't feel he was sufficiently informed on
the subject.
The issue of the frame wall was next discussed. The plan
called for a timber frame and timber faced wall on the rear of the building
on the second story cantilevered section. It was pointed out that a cement
cantilever at the second story level would not be practical to accommodate
wiring and air conditioning duct work. Mrs. Johnson moved approval of the
variance as a hardship. The motion was seconded by Mr. Toussaint and carried.
Mr. Stobs abstained from voting on any of the motions concerning the Clifford
plans for the reason noted.
Because of the swimming pool setback and problem with an
existing tree, the plan placed the house on the previous house setback of
7.6 ft. from the side line. As there was no survey of the property at hand
Mr. Moyer moved that the lot be surveyed for location of the pool, pool deck,
tree and cabana. The motion was seconded by Mr. Toussaint and carried.
(3) Mr. Mel Astley of Top Roofing Co., requested permit for
Mrs. Baker, 179 N. W. 97th St., to reroof an existing flat roof with an aluminum
asphalt coating in lieu of B.U. gravel, as required by Ordinance No. 403-78.
After discussion, Mr. Palmer moved that the request be denied. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Stobs and carried.
(4) Village Council representatives to discuss code enforcement
and zoning items.
Mayor Farina was present to ask the Board's assistance in
raising the level of code enforcement. In the discussion that followed it was
-2-

suggested that the Police Department report the violations and then the
Building & Zoning Department would send the notices.
Mr. Ackley explained the enforcement procedure for municipal
ordinances as outlined by the State Attorney's office. He recommended that
the Chief's suggestion of rewriting ordinances be taken under advisement and
that we take care of the present complaints and prepare to process them to a
final conclusion. After we get through two or three court cases we will assign
certain violations to the Police Department and others to the Building Depart-
ment. Chief Fletcher suggested that Police personnel could assist the
Building Department for perhaps a year until violations are brought under
control.
