By way of background, Mr. LuBien advised that this garage
enclosure was completed without a permit, Notices were sent
to stop the work and obtain a permit. This is the first step
toward rectifying the situation.
Mr. Atiles-Figueroa presented plans, prepared by an engineer
and certified,as requested by Mr. LuBien. He also presented
a recent survey. Following discussion by the Board re offstreet
parking and the side setback being in conformance, Mr. Wiesen
moved for approval of garage enclosure based on plans clearly
depicting a 9/6" setback. Motion was seconded by Mr. Rossi,
and carried unanimously.
- 2 - 11/10/83
4) REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR ADDITION
BENNET PUMO, 1133 N.E, 91 TERRACE
Mr. LuBien noted that these plans were brought before the
Board for two reasons; this structure does not conform to the
required side setback on one side, and in section 225 (f) it
states, all roofs having an incline of less than 21/2 inches
per foot shall be constructed of built up gravel and shall
be approved by the Planning and Zoning Board for harmony.
Board examined the plans submitted and a lengthy discussion
followed relative to structures annexed into Miami Shores
with non -conforming setbacks, The Board felt that this
is not a non -conforming use problem, it is a non -conforming
setback problem as exists particularly on 91st Terrace. It
was the Boards contention that this should be treated as
a variance as the use is consistent - there is no change,
however, a hardship exists as to the peculiar and unusual
circumstances surrounding this structure in that it was
built in the setback when Miami Shores allowed it.
Mr. Laubenthal summed up the following.as grounds for acceptance:
1) the residence as it exists is maintaining its current
use, therefore, section 524, non -conforming uses, does
not apply;
2) infringement into setback was existing condition;
3) existing structure is in harmony with the neighborhood;
4) proposed addition does conform with front setback and
maintains the established buildings side setback.
Mr. Laubenthal moved that the request for garage additionbe
approved as submitted, under grounds for hardship stated above,
and variance be granted by the Board. Motion was seconded by
Mr, Wiesen, and carried unanimously.
This item goes to Council.
Mr. Stobs read a memo received from the Village Manager relative to
review and update of the Comprehensive Plan by July, 1984, The Village
has an applicant for intern position for Urban Planning, January through
May, 1984. The Board agreed that the Village Manager should proceed with
his recommendation for an Urban Planner.
