roof for proposed addition and a full floor plan was submitted to the Board.

2. REQUEST FOR VARIANCE TO MASONRY CONSTRUCTION
BOB DAVIS, LOTS 10, 11 & 12, EL PORTAL SECTION
The basic construction of exterior walls of proposed house
has prefabricated panel system, which.uses wood frame for structural
elements. This does not comply with our Zoning Ordinance which requires
masonry construction in Miami Shores Village. A variance to Section
225 Appendix A -Zoning is requested.
At this point, Mr. O'Connor noted that at the joint meeting
with the Council this very question was discussed at length,as well
as the overall Ordinance, and the Council and Planning & Zoning Board
actually expanded on the Masonry Ordinance to cover areas that prior
to the joint meeting were gray.
A discussion followed with Mr. Davis and his architect, Mr.
Richard Skrip, who presented engineering data and other materials to
the Board for consideration, and expounded on the advantages of the structure.
The Board advised that we cannot entertain a request for a
variance as Mr. Davis is not the legal owner of the property in question
but would enter into an informal discussion, without any decision by the
Board. Mr. Davis accepted the Board's decision that the current owner,
not the prospective purchaser, has to come before the Board to request
a variance.
