REGULAR MEETING
A regular meeting of the Clermont Planning Commission
was held in the City Administration Building on Wednesday,
May 2, 1962. The meeting was called to order at approximately
7:45 p. m. with the following named present: Messrs: Innis,
Wakeman, Root, Colegrove, Hoskinson and Mrs. Carrington.
Absent were: Mrs. Van Nostrand and rTessrs. Winther and
McQuistion. Recording Secretary Albert Johnson was also
present.
Motion was made by Mrs. Carrington, seconded by Mr. Root
and carried, that the minutes of the meeting held April 4,
1962 be approved.
Following a discussion of the need of a "Land Use" map
it was decided that much of the field work could be done at
this time, and be made available for use by the Commission,
even though the map would not be completed until a later
date. In view of this decision, Chairman Innis appointed
Mrs. Carrington and Mr. Wakeman as a committee to prepare
a system of code symbols and a sample "check sheet" for use
by the members in their field work. City Clerk Johnson
agreed to have the necessary copies of the "check sheets"
and code symbol lists mimeographed when furnished with
samples. In further connection with the proposed field
work Chairman Innis appointed Messrs. Colegrove and Hoskinson
as a committee to divide the city into eight sections or
areas.
The matter of a new Fire Department building was dis-
cussed and it was the .general opinion that recommendation
on this project could be made following the proposed field
work on the Land Use Map. Mr. Root, Chairman of the Committee
on Fire Department Buildings, was in full agreement with
other members and stated that he thought it quite probable
that the information obtained from the field work would~be
sufficient for determining the proper location for a Fire
Station.
Mrs. Carrington offered the suggestion that some better
method of traffic control within the city be instigated.
Commission members were in agreement that improvements were
desirable and could be made, and Mrs. Carrington was requested
to prepare her recommendations, in writing, and to present them
at the next meeting of the Eommission.
The matter of a new community building, or civic center,
was discussed and while the Commission could not, at this time,
recommend a location for such a building, they were unanimous
in their decision that it should not be located in Kehlor
Park. The Commission was further agreed that the City
Council should seriously consider the improvement of Kehlor
Park in general, and the community building located there
particularly, and. that Kehlor Park be used primarily as a
Tourist Center.
Mr. Wakeman, Chairman of the Committee on "Finances
and Budgeting" reported that he had made some progress, but
that projections of Clermont's future growth were essential
and more information was needed before he would be in a
position to make a final report.
Motion by Mr. Root, seconded by rlrs. Carrington, and carried,
that meeting adjourn.
Frank Innis, Chairman
