Board of Zoning Commissioners
South Miami , Florida
Gentlemen:
I have been making arrangements with Mr.. Clifford Parker,
who owns a CBS building at 5949 SW 68th St, to rent
his building,
The building is now a grocery store and the zoning is
Bu-2 .
} x
. I wish to open a publishing business in the# same location
at which I would publish and print a weekly newspaper
for Sputh Miami , and also do some commercial printing.
The law is not very specific , apparently, although in the
Miami code it specifies that Bu-2 allows printing
establishments.
I have spoken with' the buildinging commissioner, Mr, Green,
and the city clerk , and they -seem to be of the opinion
that Bu--2 would allow a printing business,
However , they said it was up to the zoning board,
I urgently request that you consider this and allow me
to establish this business trere. I also urge that you
consider this one way or another with as much speed as
possible, as a decision is very important to me..

relative to use of Lots I and 2.. Block 3, WESTERFIELD FOR for

first came before the Zoning Board it eras tabled for further informa-
tion from the applicant. At the next regular meeting again there was no
representative of the applicant at the meeting, however, a second
letter reiterating the first was received. Since these are two lots in
a block that is more than half in the County, and that the entire
block to the west is County area, to the South is in the County, the -
Zoning Board felt that the County Zoning Board's opinion in this
. matter should cagy sonie importance. Our Zoning Board is in receipt
of a letter from the Diode County Zoning Board dated December 18th,
1956 where they state they believe that the proposed use would be
a definite conflict with the balance of this area. It is the .
opinion of the Zonini, Board of South Miami that these two lots
should remain for re3idegntiab use.

be required. Mr, Garber- I second the end of it. Motion carried.

addition to his home at 7320 S. W, 58th Ave. (S. 110® of No 20' of

Discussion centered on (1) whether or not it would be a hardship to
require conformance with the Code, and (2) interpretation of the code
re 10% lot- width as minimum side set-back on each side vs. minimum
7.5 on one site and total balance -on other. This was to be checked
with Attorney Proby.
Mro Foster- I aras going .to move that the application of Herbert
S, Pablo, Jro be tabled until the next regular meeting of the Zoning
Board and that the pertinent information be turned over to Mr.
Greene for study. Mrs. Byers- I second that. Motion carried.
