SPECIAL PLANNING & ZONING MEETING
AUGUST 30, 1995
A special meeting of the Miami Shores Village Planning & Zoning Board was called to order on

PRESENT: Cliff Walters

Frank Hegedus
Mark Ulmer
ABSENT: Charles Smith
ALSO PRESENT: William Fann
Barbara Fugazzi
Mr. Walters expressed his thanks to the members of the Board for attending with short notice.
He stated that at the last meeting of the Planning & Zoning Board, it was the consensus of the
Board to seek recommendations from Village staff members and individuals from an informal
group looking into the Village Codes. Mr. Walters stated that the Board had been presented with
a memo outlining some of the issues raised by the group.
Mr. Fann indicated that as the group had not formally been appointed, the Board should
disregard information contained in the memo. Mr. Walters stated that the memo was from a staff
member, Mildred Ramos-Majoros to Michael Couzzo, and the information was valid.
Mr. Walters synopsized the past meetings of the Planning & Zoning Board on the issue of
amending Ordinance No. 270. He stated that he does not believe the Board is getting where they
need to go regarding the issue. He indicated that he would feel more comfortable getting an
indication from the Council as to their desires.
Mr. Hegedus stated that he has re -visited the other Blockbuster store which he had previously
expressed his concerns in relation to excessive loitering. Mr. Hegedus indicated that his
concerns have been allayed.
• Mr. Ulmer spoke about the circumstances that face the Board without knowing the wishes of the
Council.
Mr. Blum stated that the Board has spent a great deal of time trying to iron out details to protect
the Village in relation to the request to amend Ordinance No. 270. He expressed his view that it
was wise to get Council comments at this point in time.

Mr. Walters passed the gavel to Mr. Ulmer and moved that the Planning & Zoning Board
forward the request to amend Ordinance No. 270 to the Village Council for their discussion,
deliberation and possible action as to how to further proceed with the matter. Mr. Blum
seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
Resident, Craig Coller, spoke about the informal group reviewing the Code of Ordinances.
Village Manager, Michael R. Couw7o, Jr., stated that it would be appropriate for the Village
Council to formally appoint individuals to a Committee to review the Codes.
Resident and Past Mayor, Spero Canton, expressed his opinion that the Chairman's motion was
perhaps too broad.
Mr. Walters verified that the item could be placed on the September 5, 1995 Village Council
agenda. Mrs. Fugazzi stated that she would place the item on the Agenda.
The meeting was adjourned at 6:25 P.M.
