PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
January 11, 1979
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning & Zoning Board was
held at 7:30 p.m., January 11, 1979, at the Village Hall, with the following
members present:
Mr. Albert R. Toussaint, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. J. Robert Stobs
Mrs. Roberta Johnson
Mr. J. S. Palmer
Mr. 0. Sam Ackley, Village Manager, and Mr. Frank LuBien, Building
Inspector, were also present, as well as Mr. William Fann, Village Attorney.
(1) Minutes of the meeting of December 14, 1978, were approved
as written by motion made by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mrs. Johnson and carried.
(2) A request for variance was made by Attorney James Shroads
on behalf of Juanita and Lillie Mae Anderson, 492 N. W. 111th Terrace, to
allow an asphalt shingle roof to remain as installed. It was alleged that
the roofer was told that this property was not in the Shores. Subsequently, a
shingle roof was installed with a County permit. Mr. Shroads argued that because
of misinformation concerning the jurisdiction of the property and its proximity
to an unincorporated area, that a hardship variance should be granted.
It was pointed out that allowing non -tile roofs in that area
would further erode the neighbor standards and that the alleged hardship had
been created by the owner and the roofer. Mrs. Johnson moved that the request
be denied. The motion was seconded by Mr. Stobs and passed unanimously.
(3) A request was made by Mr. James R. Sabatino for permission to
use some type of shingle roof in place of tile at 1301 N. E. 104th St., for
aesthetic and architectural reasons. After being discouraged by the Board,
Mr. Sabatino withdrew his request and no action was needed as his roofing permit
called for cement tile.
(4) Mr. Irving Breakstone, 9909 Biscayne Blvd. requested clari-
fication of setbacks in order to build a room addition. Because there is an
existing 6 ft. setback on his home, Mr. Breakstone asked to be permitted to
use this setback on a new addition. The Board asked him to reconsider his
addition to conform with a 10 ft. setback. No action was taken.
1110 Mr. Fann, Village Attorney, discussed zoning variances and how the
Board should consider them.
Ordinance on metal sheds: A proposed ordinance was submitted by
Mr. Fann, as drafted by the Board, to permit and regulate metal sheds. Mr. Palmer

Comprehensive Plan report along with some of the required maps on existing land
