Discussion followed. 1 PLANNING & ZONING BOARD -2- 6/14/84 Members suggested a change of entry to allow an increase in the Doctor's living area, and at the same time provide a separate entry for patients. The..change would then come within the re- quired (20%) 523 sq. ft.. Mr. Morris Mays, Architect for Dr, James, agreed the change is ideal, and that he could work this into the plans. Mr. Rossi moved to approve :.the plans for a Dental office as a part of the residence, based on Dr. James agreement to revise the plans to conform with Sec. 221, seconded by Mr. Wiesen, and carried unanimously. Mr. Duffy emphasized to Dr. James that this remains primarily a residence. 4. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR ADDITIONS AND CHANGE OF ADDRESS DR. JUAN ALDRICH 9660 N. BAYSHORE DRIVE Mr. LuBien outlined the peculiarities of this request. The present existing front of the housq/(•address) is on N. Bayshore Dr., however, the entrance foyer, and only access to the street is on 97th St.. This makes it necessary to define front, side and rear of the house. Mr. Laubenthal noted that an address change can be made per Sec. 513. Mr. Rossi suggested the most likely solution, so that the additions could be made to conform, without the need for a variance, is to change the address to the N. E. 13th Ave. side. Dr. Aldrich agreed that a 97th St. and N. E. 13th Ave. address is the most logical solution from all standpoints. Mr. Rossi also pointed out that the 75' adjoining lot would require a Unity of Title, combining lot 10 and lot 11 in order to satisfy set back requirements. There was further discussion, concerning Post Office policy in change of address. Mr. Wiesen moved to approve the plans, conditional upon Dr. Aldrich's willingness to grant Unity of Title, combining lot 10 and lot 11, also subject to the address change by the Building Department, to 9701 N. E. 13th Ave. or another approved number on N. E. 13th Ave., as provided for in Sec. 513. The motion was seconded by Mr. Duffy. Mr. Rossi pointed out that there is an easement on the adjoining lot which needs tobe considered, further that if Dr. Aldrich.has.'.a problem, it can be brought back to the Planning & Zoning Board for further discussion. The motion carried unanimously. 1 • 1 • 1 PLANNING & ZONING BOARD -3- Mr. LuBien distributed copies of a Draft Appraisal Report for the Miami Shores Village He requested members to review this report in Public Hearing to be held in the Village Hall update will also be included.
