05-02-1962 Regular MeetingCLERr10NT PLANNING COMMISSION 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
