PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
February 26, 1981
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning & Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 p.m., February 26, 1981, at the Miami Shores Village Hall,
with the following members present:
Mr. J. Robert Stobs, Chairman
Mr. J. S. Palmer
Mr. Kevin P. O'Connor
Mr. Kenneth Cutchens
Absent: Mrs. Roberta Johnson
Mr. Frank LuBien, Building Director, was also present.
Minutes of the meeting of February 12, 1981, were approved
as written by motion made by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. Cutchens and
carried unanimously.
(1) The plan of Mr, & Mrs, Gavin Leedy, 10110 N. Miami Ave.,
for enclosing a screened patio area, was again before the Board, at the
request of the Village. Council to resolve the flat roof area. An archi-
tectural drawing was submitted of a detail of the ceiling construction
indicating a minimum height of 7 ft. 6 in., as required by the Code. In
regard to the flat roof, it was established that a portion of the roof
area will be tile, thereby bringing it in conformity with percentage of
flat roof allowed. The Board determined that the flat roof as shown was
the only practical way to roof this area. Mr. O'Connor moved approval
since it meets all criteria. The motion was seconded by Mr. Cutchens and
passed unanimously.
(2) Request for approval of plans for alteration of building
at 9700 & 9710 N. E. 2nd Ave. for insurance office.
This building area had formerly housed a•hardware store
and a dress shop, neither of which had any offstreet parking. The insurance
company representatives stated that there was no.walk.-in trade to their
business and that the staff amounted to about 22 persons who could park
in the Village owned lot to the west of this property on 97th Street. The
Board wanted to see a survey of the property in that block (under one owner)
to see how much parking could be provided by paving the area between the
building and the alley. After discussion Mr. Cutchens moved that the permit
be denied pending receipt and review by the Board of a plot plan providing
some parking area. This motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer but failed to
pass on a tie vote. The tenants argued that this paving would have to be
done by the owner of the building, and that the delay in occupancy was
causing them to lease temporary facilities at great expense. Mr. O'Connor
then moved that the plans for alterations be approved subject only to sub-
mission to the Council of a site plan showing all area available for improve-
ment for parking. The motion was seconded by Mr. Palmer and passed 3/1 with
-2-
Mr. Cutchens dissenting.

(3) Request for approval of plans for flat roof addition
for Hernando De Pineras, at 900 N. E. 97th St.
The Building Director reported that the flat roof area
is only 252 sq. ft., well within the permitted allowance and that there is
no other practical way to roof the area. Approval was granted by motion
made by Mr. Cutchens, seconded by Mr. O'Connor and passed unanimously.
(4) Request for approval of plans for carport enclosure
by Joseph Cerione, 10430 N. E. 3rd Ave.
The Building Director reported that there is no outside
access proposed in the enclosed area. Mr. Palmer moved approval subject to
a plan being submitted to the Building Inspector showing no exterior
access in the two walls being enclosed. The motion was seconded by Mr.
Cutchens and passed unanimously.
(5) Pending business:
Workshop on sign regulations - this was set for March 10th
with Mr. Fann present.
The meeting adjourned at 9:20 p.m.
