Red-Bird Road Corner Rezoning Fails
Another assault on Coral Gables zoning failed Tuesday when the City Commission turned down a proposal to commercialize the southeast corner of Red and Bird roads. The City Commission voted unanimously to disapprove the plan of owner Harry Harris to rezone the west 255 feet of the block bounded by Bird Road, Red Road and Avenue Algardi from residential to commercial. A large number of persons appeared before the Commission or signed petitions to protest. Harris, represented by attorney William J. Weissel, sought to change his plan to permit the construction of an apartment house buffer, but the Commission refused to hear the switch. The Zoning Board also turned down the commercial proposal unanimously May 8. Weissel indicated Tuesday that the courts would give his client relief because the land was purchased by Harris 35 years ago and the area across the street, not in Coral Gables, has since been commercialized.
GOLDEN CELEBRATION
It was a happy affair Wednesday at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Harry N. Kerr, 1540 Certosa Ave. The Gableites entertained the doctor's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Kerr, of North Miami. The parents were noting their 50th anniversary.
