(5) Discussion of Spear home - In regard to the Spear home at N. E. 93rd St. and N. Bayshore Drive, the Village Attorney states that a Certificate of Occupancy cannot be refused because of color of paint, however, we, the Miami Shores Village Planning Board wish to go on record that: (a) The color of this home is not harmonious and is not the same beige color as presented in the original artist's rendering. (b) Dr. & Mrs. Spear both were aware that the Village had previously questioned the color before the final painting of the house.( See Gray letter of 2/6/78, Spear letter of 2/8/78 and Toussaint letter of 2/10/78.) (c) Dr. & Mrs. Spear requested postponement of the hearing on 2/9/78 regarding color in that they were experimenting with color and the colors were not finalized. This was interpreted by each member of this Board as Mrs. Spear's tacit recognition of our jurisdiction in this matter and (contd.) 12/14/78 -2- the possibility that we might eventually rule the colors as not being harmonious. "At this point we emphasize that the architects and designers are still only experimenting with colors and shades and have not reached a final decision on which one to use. This is quite evident since there are two shades painted on one wall". Quote of Mrs. Spear in letter of 2/8/78. (d) We ask that the Village Council and Village Attorney review this situation. The above was made as a motion by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried, with Mr. Palmer abstaining. Chairman Toussaint reported that on 6/24/76, sketches were requested of this house to reveal the character of the residence, and one of these sketches was a rendering which showed beige as the color of paint, (meeting of 7/22/76). The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Reported by: Approved: Chairman
