Planning & Zoning Bd.Reg.Mtg. - 2 - March 26, 1992
Mr. Steve Pitkin of Robert K. Swarthout, addressed the Board and
presented a package that contained four proposed amendments to
the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed changes are as follows:
1. Change four downtown alley block -faces from Single -Family
Residential to Parking to match the zoning map.
2. Change the Future Land Use designation of the Biscayne Kennel
Club parcel from Restricted Commercial to Single -Family Resi-
dential; this will not Impact the dog racing operation In any
way because the zoning will continue to authorize this use.
3. Change the potable water Level of Service standard to match
the County.
4. Incorporate a post -disaster redevelopment plan, a 1989
Village commitment to DCA.
The Board's comments were as follows:
Mr. Forney questioned the water standard. e.i. how many gallons
of water per person per day? He clarified with Mr. Pitkin that
the usage per person per day was not measured by the gallon but
by the Village making sure that when a protect comes In that the
percentage would not exceed that gap between capacity and
volume.
Mr. Walters addressed the parking changes. The Board clarified
that the changes were not all being done at this time but are
coming Into compliance since 1989.
Mr. McClure stated that a statement needs to be incorporated
into the Plan to refer back to the portion of the Plan that
makes It very clear that this is a residential community and all
commerce In this community is to support the residential nature
in the community.
Mr. Fernandez reminded Mr. Pitkin that Miami Shores Village does
not want to Increase the traffic in the Village and re -zoning
would possibly do that. Also, the downtown area needs help in
development and if the dog track should be re -zoned, the traffic
would increase but not to the downtown area but to the dog track
area which is in a residential zone.
Mr. Fernandez asked Mr. Pitkin to remove the following sentence
from the Plan; page 1.14 Policy 1.6.1 which reads as follows:
"This Is not to preclude fine-tuning the S-2 District so long as
dog racing remains the principal use."
Mr. McClure stated that page 5.25 policy 4.1.1 should read:
All electric, telephone and water lines In the HVZ shall be
floodproofed, and the seawall rebuilt as necessary.

P lanning & Zoning Bd.Reg.Mtg. - 3 - March 26, 1992
After further review of the presented draft, Mr. Fernandez,
along with the Board, determined that the draft that they were
reviewing was not the proper copy for their review. Mr. Pitkin
also agreed and stated that he would have the proper corrected
draft presented to the Board well before the Public Hearing
scheduled for April 9, 1992.
Mr. Walters commented on Impact fees and suggested that once the
Board actually gets Into the discussion and finalization of the
P ian, that the Board would consider not limiting the Impact fees
to only houses that border the bay. Mr. Walters also stated how
d ifficult it would be to collect a fee on houses that would be
devlstated and then charged a fee to reconstruct.
Mr. Walters suggested changing page 8 last paragraph first
sentence to read as follows:
For the reasons cited above, the Village may want to consider an
Impact fee on new construction or substantial rebuilding.
The Board scheduled a Special meeting for April 2, 1992 to
discuss the post disaster material provided by Mr. Pitkin.
