Robert Stobs, Chairman J. S. Palmer Kevin P. O'Connor Kenneth Cutchens Absent: Roberta Johnson Also present: Frank LuBien, Building Director & Code Enforcement Officer Leslie R. Forney, Jr., Village Manager 1) MINUTES: The minutes of meeting of March 25, 1982 were approved as written by motion made by Mr. Palmer, seconded by Mr. O'Connor and carried unanimously. 2) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR FLAT ROOF ADDITION DOROTHY WILSON, 236 N.E. 91 STREET Mr. LuBien informed the Board that this addition was requested to add access from the garage into the house. All of the existing structure has a pitched roof and the addition is a very minimal flat roof area, not visible from the street. Mrs. Dorothy Wilson advised the Board that this entranceway was requested for safety purposes. A motion was made by Mr. Cutchens for approval, since determination was made that the requested addition does not exceed allowable square feet. The Board noted that this falls under Ordinance 403-78, Section 2, Paragraph E, and all three provisions are accounted for. The motion was then passed unanimously. 3) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PROJECTING SIGN BROADWAY RESTAURANT, 9099 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD This item was withdrawn from the agenda. - 2 - 4/15/82 4) REQUEST TO RELOCATE REAR (EAST) PERIMETER WALL ARCHDIOCESE OF MIAMI, 9401 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD In order to preserve existing fences, vegetation and landscaping, the Archdiocese requests permission to locate rear, east, perimeter wall 5' from property line. Mr. Lopez, architect from the firm of Brown, Lopez -Brown, presented plans and photographs to the Board. Mr. Lopez confirmed to the Board that two outlets would be provided for wall maintenance and ground cover will be provided on 5' side as a buffer between the property and residential area. The Board, after review of past data on this case, and discussion, determined that there was no problem with the concept as submitted. Mr. Cutchens made a motion for approval of relocation of the wall according to the plan, retention of grade accord- ing to Code in 5' area, and requested a letter be submitted detailing landscape information in the 5' area. Mr. Lopez stated he would submit this detailed information to the Building and Zoning Director. The motion was seconded by Mr. O'Connor and passed unanimously. 5) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR ADDITION DAVID MILLER, 580 N.E. 92 STREET This addition is in an 0 Zone and Mr. LuBien reported that according to our ordinance, this is a problem. He noted that set -backs on 0 Zones are to be determined by the Board where a piece of property is surrounded on three sides by streets. This is provided by Article 6. After lengthy discussion the Board determined that 2,500 sq. ft. existing building is non- conforming in regard to off-street parking requirements. During discussion, Mr. Cutchens noted that the moratorium was to rewrite the parking ordinance and allow alteration or rejuvenation on existing structures,provided there was no change of use. New additions were not grandfathered in and the code would have to be followed in this case, i.e, provide on-site parking space. With the addition, nine off-street parking spaces would be required; only four were provided. - 3 - 4/15/82 A motion was made by Mr. O'Connor to deny the application, seconded by Mr. Cutchens, with an explanation from the new parking ordinance referencing increased floor area not grandfathered in. At this point, the Board passed the motion unanimously to deny the request. 6) ZONING ORDINANCE - AMENDMENTS Mr. Forney discussed with the Board additions to the Schedule of Regulations, dwelling and parking spaces. He noted our current ordinance bans commercial vehicles, which includes vans and pick-up trucks. Mr. Forney noted that with the change in our society, vans and pick-up trucks are no longer exclusively commercial and recommended to the Board the following alternatives: 1) Stick to our ordinance as written and enforce same. 2) A new ordinance be written due to sociological change. 3) Mr.Forney noted that Mr.LuBien agreed with item 2, with the stipulation that such vehicles be parked in the rear only. After discussion, Mr. O'Connor noted that at our last meeting, the consensus was a recommendation that Mr. Fann, Village Attorney, draft a proposed ordinance, with input from the Planning & Zoning Board, advertise for a public hearing and after vote, take the proposal to Council. Mr. LuBien noted that items a to h listed on the submitted additions to the Schedule of Regulations were already covered in our ordinance. 7) REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION - HISTORICAL PRESERVATION ORDINANCE Mr. LuBien presented the Board with a recommended Ordinance as prepared by Mrs. Marty Stofik, 35 N.E. 91 Street. He also introduced Mr. Ivan Rodriguez and Mr. Bogue Wallin of the Historic Preservation Division of Dade County. Mr. Rodriguez gave a presentation on the Metro preservation ordinance as well as various other municipalities and assured the Board of complete cooperation in assisting Miami Shores in preparing a Historical Preservation Ordinance. Mr. Bogue Wallin gave a detailed address on implementing a Historical Preservation Ordinance and answered questions pre- sented by the Planning Board. • - 4 - 4/15/82 The Chairman recommended that Thursday, May 13th, (which is National Historical Preservation week, according to Mr. Wallin) be set aside for this issue, with no other items on the agenda, for the first reading at the end of May. Mr. Stobs recommended that the Village Attorney be present at public hearing on this proposed ordinance. The meeting adjourned at 9:35 P.M.
