PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
December 13, 1979
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning & Zoning Board was held
at 7:30 p.m., December 13, 1979, at the Village Hall, with the following
members present:
Mr. J. Robert Stobs, Chairman
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Albert R. Toussaint
Mrs. Roberta Johnson
Mr. J. S. Palmer
Mr. Frank LuBien, Public Works Director, and Mr. 0. Sam Ackley, Village
Manager, were also present.
(1) Minutes of the meeting of November 28, 1979, were approved as
written by motion made by Mrs. Johnson, seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed
unanimously.
(2) Request was made for approval of a flat roof addition to the home
of Dr. Paul Annis, 379 N. E. 94th St. The addition is to be a 10 x 10 ft.
powder room which is within the permitted allowance. The Board determined that
there is no other way to roof this area and'*ill be an extension of a present
roof line. Mr. Toussaint moved that the Board recommend that the Village
Council grant a variance in regard to paragraph (e) (3) of the roofing ordinance
to permit this addition which is visible from the side street. The motion
was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and passed unanimously.
(3) Request for approval of plans was made by Mr. Dean R. Claussen
to remodel the home at 910 N. E. 99th St. The plans included a flat roof
area that exceeded the permitted allowance by 324 sq. ft. After some discussion
of the plan with the Board Mr. Claussen withdrew it for resubmission at a later
date with possible changes.
(4) Request was made for approval of a flat roof addition to the home
of Mr. Robert E. Cooney, 10463 N. E. 6th Ave., which is within the permitted
area and not visible from any street. The Board determined that it is not
practical to put on any other type roof. Mr. Toussaint moved that it be approved
as it meets all conditions of the ordinance. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Palmer and passed unanimously.
(5) Mr. Ben Pumo resubmitted his application for a Cedar Shake roof,
asking for a special exception to Ordinance #403-78 (roofing ordinance).
Mr. Pumo submitted a list of 48 signatures of property owners in Bay Park
Estates who had no objection to this type roof. After discussion Mrs. Johnson
moved that the request be denied, as it doesn't comply with the ordinance.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Toussaint and passed 4/1 with Mr. Moyer dissenting.
(6) Discussion of roofing ordinance - Chairman Stobs stated that he
had requested this discussion and invited the Council to be present if they
had any questions concerning the ordinance. No members of Council were present.
The Board discussed wooden shingles and concluded (a) that in most cases they

are not up to a Grade A roof,as tile is, (b) that it would be impossible to
write specifications to permit only certain types of wood shingles, (c)
that the zoning ordinance calls for all building materials to be CBS, and
(d) that the Board had reviewed other cities' ordinances before proposing this
ordinance. Mr. Toussaint moved that this Board go on record to reconfirm its
position supporting the ordinance, with a review of the 15% flat roof ratio
factor as being the only area needing review. The motion was seconded by Mrs.
Johnson and passed unanimously.
(7) A waiver of plat was requested on Lot 2 and part of Lot 1, Block
75, west side of Biscayne Blvd. between 95th and 96th Streets. After review
of the waiver it was approved by motion made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr.
Palmer and passed unanimously.
(8) A request was made by Bishop Intoyan for approval of an installation,
already made, of two sinks and kitchen cabinets in his house under construction
at 85 N. W. 102nd Street. In the discussion that followed it was determined
that the house was not built according to the plan on file and the cubic foot
size of the house does not meet the requirements. Mr. Toussaint moved that the
building should be built according to the plans submitted to the Building
Department and that the request for the additional changes be denied. The motion
was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and passed unanimously.
(9) Village Manager:
(a) Mr. Ackley presented plans for beautification of the Village
Hall. The plans on the Library will be submitted as soon
as they are received.
(b) Parking meter posts - recommended by Chamber of Commerce
and Beautification Committee. Mr. Toussaint moved that
the Planning Board approve the black metal posts for 2nd
Ave. and the galvanized posts for the side streets.
The motion was seconded by Mrs. Johnson and passed unanimously.
(c) Pro shop roof - Mr. Ackley reported that a new roof is
necessary for the pro shop to replace the present gravel
roof. Discussion followed concerning replacement with tile
and Mr. Ackley stated he would get a structural opinion as
to whether the building will support tile and if not he will
go ahead with the gravel roof. This was approved by motion
made by Mr. Toussaint, seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed
unanimously.
In regard to the Catholic Church plans Mr. Toussaint asked that we secure
a small colored rendering of the buildings for the file prior to the time they
start building, if and when approved.
The Board agreed that there would be no meeting on December 27, 1979.
A Public Hearing on the minimum standards ordinance was set for
February 14, 1979.
The Building Inspector was asked to formulate a new requirement on flat
roof area.
The meeting adjourned at 9:40 p.m.
Approved:
Chairman
