Rossi Also present: Frank J. LuBien, Director of Building & Zoning 1. MINUTES Mr. Laubenthal requested an amendment to the minutes, relating to the last paragraph of item 2, Pg 2. Since Mr. Forney determined it not appropriate that this item be reviewed by Council, and since in fact, it was not effected, this paragraph shall be striken. The minutes of the meeting of July 10, 1986, were then approved as amended, by unanimous vote. 2. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR DISH ANTENNA THEODORE DONAHUE 1208 N. E. 98th ST. Mr. LuBien noted that technically this is a legitimate request, however there was a question as to any problems with this particular installation, and he felt it best the Board review it. Mr. Donahue stated that there will be landscaping on the 12th Ave. side. The antenna is black with see through mesh. He.assured the Board it will be adequately screened and aesthetically satisfactory to neighbors. Following brief discussion with regard to setback, Mr. Laubenthal moved to approve the request as submitted on the basis that additional landscaping be added to satisfy the screening requirement, seconded by Mr. Duffy, and carried unanimously. 3. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR WOOD DECK & TRELLIS GIGI GRAY 9300 N. BAYSHORE DRIVE It was stated that after the agenda went out, Mr. LuBien received additional plans, sealed by an architect, which Members reviewed. These plans do comply with our trellis ordinance. Mrs. Gray stated that prior to her husband's death, plans had been submitted and work begun for the deck. Some time had passed and thinking the original plans were alright she proceeded with the work. Further she stated an architect approved the structure for hurricane security and she presented letters from neighbors, citing no objection to the structure. Also she noted the trellis would provide aj.l.shady spot for work on plants. PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING PUBLIC HEARING -2- 7/24/86 Discussion took place, concerning set back and attractiveness which presently comply, but the solid roof deck of pressure treated pine wood does not meet the integrity of the code. Members agreed the options for compliance are to apply tiled roof, or the less expensive option of reworking existing sheething so as to create a more open & trellis like appearance. Mr. Rossi moved to approve the plans, as amended, providing for an open space trellis, seconded by Mr. Laubenthal, and passed unanimously. 4. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR FLAT ROOF ADDITION EDDIE D. MARTIN 236 N. E. 103rd ST. Mr. LuBien noted that this request for a flat roof carport meets all set back and footage requirements. The proposed addition is 365 sq. ft. and the allowable is 396 sq ft., 15% of the 2,638 sq. ft. present building. Mr. Martin noted that he has been parking in the Church lot because of the heavy traffic on 103rd St., and the dangers of parking in front of his home. Mr. Laubenthal moved to approve the plans, as submitted, seconded by Mr. McClure, and passed unanimously. 5. PUBLIC HEARING - MINIMUM RESTAURANT SIZE AND SERVICE OF BEER & WINE IN B-1 DISTRICT Members received copies of the 'Notice for Public Hearing' as advertised in Neighbors. They also received a copy of the proposed Ordinance for review and discussion. Mr. Stobs advised that the item will be discussed line by line. A Miami Herald reporter and Barbara North Burton and Mr. Burton were only public persons present for this discussion. Mrs. Burton expressed the concern of the Downtown Revitalization Board, concerning the words primarily at tables or counters in the first line. Much discussion continued conderning this phrase, and the connotation of the word counter, and the possibility of it being used as a bar. The word bar must be defined as a business establishment or counter, and the the primary service as sale of food. Mr. Stobs noted that the word 'primarily' is a key word and should remain. However, it was agreed to strike 'or counters'. Moving to the next sentence, concerning seating capacity and minimum sq. footage. Members agreed that seating capacity of 20 seats, and minimum of 2,000 sq. ft. could be very restrictive. Mr. Duffy noted he is strongly in favor of 1,000 sq. ft. of space or even smaller. A restaurant this size could be good and successful, whereas 2,000 sq. ft. might mean using two store fronts, which could be restrictive, and create a hardship. It was finally determined this verbage should read, 32 seats or more, and a minimum of 1,000 sq. ft.. PLANNING & ZONING BOARD MEETING PUBLIC HEARING -3- 7/24/86 Mrs. Burton introduced for discussion, the use of china , and finer accouterments, etc., distance between business establishments serving alcoholic beverages, dishwashing facilities, and single purpose business, etc. She is in favor of an Ordinance with built in assurances. She was advised of the Board's concern with too many restrictions which cannot realistically be enforced. There are certain areas.regulated by the Health Department, Fire Department, and State regulations. Moving on to 'conditions, restrictions, and limitations.' (a) The word 'and counters' shall be inserted after bars. (b) Remain as is. (c) No change (d) No change (e) Hours for service of beer and wine shall be from 11:00 A.M. to 12:00 midnight, weekdays and Sundays. Mr. Duffy moved to approve the proposed Ordinance, as amended, seconded by Mr. Laubenthal. Following review of all points by Mr. Stobs, the motion carried by unanimous vote. Mr. Stobs requested that Mr. Fenn, Village Attorney, prepare amendment to the Code for -adoption by Council. 6.

Mr. Duffy, and passed unanimously. Mr. Stobs toted that though it is not on the agenda, in further discussing B-1 & B-2 Zone, he would like to revisit the Parking Ordinance in X Zone, further stating that X Zone should be just that - Parking. Mr. Laubenthal agreed the issue should be reviewed. He cited the fact that the Downtown Revitalization Board development of a Landscape Ordinance and essentially upgrading of property so that if any are or have the potential to convert to anything other than residential or parking they should be developed with improved guidelines.
