REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
November 8, 2016
City Attorney Mantzaris reported in September 2014 the City entered into a contract with Regatta Dock
Systems, LLC to build a floating dock system at the Clermont Boathouse on Lake Minneola. After
installation, there has been difficulty and problems in the operation of the dock system. The contractor
and the manufacturer have attempted to fix the dock system and discovered there is an application issue
with how the dock stays together on Lake Minneola. The dock is not performing as the City anticipated
and for several months the City has tried to work on a solution to have the dock system in place. After
negotiations with the contractor and manufacturer, an agreement has been reached for the City Council to
consider. The City paid approximately $63,000 for the floating dock portion of the contract, the
manufacturer; Connect-A-Dock, has agreed to pay the City approximately $43,900 to reimburse for the
wholesale cost of the dock. The company that installed the dock system; Regatta Dock Systems, LLC,
has agreed to pay the City $6,500 for the City's expenditures. The total compensation package the City
would receive is $56,116 and the proposed settlement is for the companies to pay the amount to the City
and the City would release them from any obligations under the contract. The City would be able to
retain the existing dock system, allowing staff an opportunity to find a replacement dock system. Staff is
requesting Council approve a settlement agreement with Regatta Dock Systems, LLC and Connect-A-
Dock and accept$56,116 in exchange for a full release. The City would retain the dock system.
Council Member Bates asked of any safety issues with the dock. City Attorney Mantzaris stated it was
not a safety issue,the issue is the panels and how the panels are connected. The dock continually requires
the connectors to be replaced when high waves occur on the lake. The alternative the manufacturer and
contractor provided was to install a dock system which may work better, in exchange for the installed
dock system. The alternative would leave the City without a dock system at the Clermont Boathouse.
Council Member Goodgame moved to accept the settlement; seconded by Council
Member Bates. The motion passed with all members present voting aye.
Council Member Bates thanked the public for the opportunity to serve another term in office. Mr. Bates
requested Ann Dupee be honored at the Light Up Clermont parade. He announced the Lake County
League of Cities will be sponsoring Lake County days on February 15 and 16,2017.
Council Member Goodgame reported the Hospice Ladies of Lake County honored five ladies who had
accomplished distinguished and meritorious work for Lake County. Micki Blackburn received one of the
awards. The foundation is new and was formed by Hospice to recognize the work women have done to
help Hospice. Mr. Goodgame commented Ann Dupee was a marvelous person and a good friend who
had a true impact on the City. He requested Ann Dupee be honored for her work in the community.
Council Member Mullins commented the Magic Moments trick-or-treaters visited the Downtown
merchants and City Hall on Friday, October 28, 2016, and the Moonlight Players produced their annual

A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, granting
a Conditional Use. Permit to allow for a funeral home in the C-1 Light Commercial
zoning district.
Senior Planner Kruse presented the request to establish a funeral home at 191 Broome Street in the C-1
Light Commercial zoning district. The request was tabled on October 25, 2016 to the November 8, 2016
Council meeting to allow staff and the applicant time to address issues raised at the October hearing.

remains storage and added a condition regarding parking. The applicant was to seek additional parking.

Permit. Staff recommended approval of the request.

Funeral Home has served the citizens of the City of Clermont for thirty years and families have requested

Commission recommended approval of the request, they have complied with City Code and are not
requesting variances. The City Council requested the funeral home seek additional parking; however, the
proposed funeral home site exceeds the parking requirements.
Mayor Ash opened the public hearing.
Hope Lamb; 561 Osceola Street, expressed concern of containing the funeral home parking to the
property. The location isnot appropriate for a funeral home.
Andrea Simmons; 940 2' Street, provided documents regarding parking, commented on the recurring
parking,issues at Bishop Field, and the lack of enforcement of the tow-away zones. Ms. Simmons
expressed concern of potential decline in property values and the safety of children loading and unloading
from school buses.
William Repine; 180 West Desoto Street, commented the narrow width of Broome Street hinders traffic
flow when vehicles are parked on the street. The location is not appropriate for the high traffic of a
funeral procession.
Barry Rubenstein; 1000 East Avenue, mentioned the heavy use of Bishop Field in the summer creating
traffic and parking issues: Funeral processions will create traffic problems for the surrounding properties.
The location is not appropriate for funeral home.
Jim Purvis; 4206 Hammersmith Drive, stated Hayes Brothers Funeral Home has made great
improvements to vacated properties in other locations. Mr. Purvis expressed concern of lack of additional
parking and commented the location was not appropriate for a funeral home.
Natalie Santiago; 1300 Rain Tree Bend, Apartment 108, commented the funeral home should be located
in Clermont to provide services for local families in their time of need.
Rodney Lyon; 10119 Tween Waters Street, stated he discussed providing alternative parking with Hayes
Brothers Funeral Home. Mr. Lyon stated the property was not in his name and the rightful property
owner would need to make the decision.
Hal Turville; 150 West Minnehaha Avenue, commented the landscapingapproved for the prior owner of
the site no longer exists. The water retention for the property is non-existent; however, the plan has the
water retention area.located.around,the entrance door: City Code requires twenty percent of the parking
be dedicated to landscaping,,and"handicapped parking is also required. Parking activity at the baseball
field will prevent access on Broome Street for a fire truck or ambulance. The property is inadequate for
growing a business.
Gary Amerson; 151 West Desoto Street, stated the property was not a good location for a funeral home or
other commercial business.
Diana Carlton; 167 West Desoto Street, expressed concern of the lack of parking and increased traffic on

Tommy Hayes commented City Manager Gray was to address the parking at Bishop Field. Hayes
Brothers Funeral Home has secured additional parking, as requested by Council.
City Manager Gray stated Parks and Recreation Director Davidoff and Public Works Director Brunson
are working with the baseball leagues regarding parking. One option was to not allow parking on Broome
Street. The parking for Bishop Field is on the north side; however, it is not striped for parking. The city
will look into improving the parking lot and work with the leagues to ensure the appropriate parking areas
are used. Parking is also available on East Avenue. Chief Broadway is looking into the parking situation
and investigating the enforcement of the No Parking signs on Broome Street.
Mayor Ash asked of the additional parking locations. Mr. Hayes stated arrangements have been made
with pastors and ministers in the city to assist with parking on an as needed basis. The majority of funeral
services are held in churches and on-site services are infrequent.
Council Member Mullins inquired of additional on-site parking. Mr. Hayes commented the plans show
15 additional parking spaces on site.
Senior Planner Kruse stated the overflow parking in the grassed area was not developed. Hayes Brothers
Funeral Home met for a pre-submittal site review before applying for a Conditional Use Permit; however,
an official site plan has not been reviewed. Applicants typically wait until after receiving a Conditional
Use Permit before submitting a detailed site plan for the Site Review Committee.
City Manager Gray commented a pre-submittal site review is held to determine if a Conditional Use
Permit is required for City Council review. After receiving approval of the Conditional Use Permit from
City Council,the applicant returns before the Site Review Committee with detailed plans.
Council Member Mullins expressed concern with parking.
Council Member Mullins moved to deny the Conditional Use Permit; seconded by
Council Member Bates.
Council Member Travis stated the site is zoned properly, has the appropriate number of parking spaces,
and was opposed to denying a business. The hours for a viewing are from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, school
buses are not present during those hours, and the surrounding businesses are not open.
Council Member Mullins commented Hayes Brothers Funeral Home meets the City's minimum
standards; however, the business does not fit the neighborhood.
City Attorney Mantzaris clarified the business is not a permitted use in a Cl zoning district, which is why
the request requires Council consideration.
Council Member Goodgame stated the location was not appropriate for a funeral home.
The motion passed 4 to 0, with Council Member Travis in opposition of denying the
request.

Item No. 11—Ordinance No.2016-48 Final;Medical Marijuana
City Clerk Ackroyd Howe read Ordinance 2016-48 aloud by title only.
An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Clermont, Lake County, Florida, related
to medical marijuana dispensaries amending the Land Development Code of the City of
Clermont by amending Section 82-12, "Land Use Definitions" providing for definitions
of marijuana and marijuana dispensaries and amending Section 122-264 "M-1-
Conditional Uses" providing medical marijuana dispensaries shall require a Conditional
Use; setting forth standards and regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries; and
providing for conflict, severability, codification and an effective date.
Development Services Director Hollerand stated the Florida Right to Medical Marijuana Initiative is on
the November 8, 2016 ballot in Florida as a Constitutional Amendment. The amendment; upon voter
approval, would legalize medical marijuana. Ms. Hollerand presented the ordinance which would provide
definitions in the City's code for medical marijuana and medical marijuana dispensaries. The ordinance
would regulate the location of a medical marijuana dispensary to M-1 Industrial zoned property and
would require a Conditional Use Permit with specified restrictions. Staff recommended approval.
Mayor Ash opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Mayor Ash closed the public
hearing.
Council Member Mullins asked of allowing the medical marijuana dispensaries in the commercial zoning
district as opposed to only the M-1 Industrial Zoning districts.
Mayor Ash commented the intent was to limit accessibility and separate the medical marijuana
dispensaries from the shopping areas.
Council Member Goodgame stated he spoke with John Moore; South Lake Hospital President, who
indicated Orlando Regional Medical Center is a clearing house for marijuana prescriptions and the
physician must be enrolled with the hospital. South Lake Hospital is not a clearing house, and limiting
medical marijuana dispensaries to M-1 Industrial Zoning districts will prevent issues in the downtown
area and shopping centers.
Council Member Bates asked of the constitutional amendment effective date should the voters approve
the amendment. City Attorney Mantzaris stated the effective date of the constitutional amendment has
not been determined. The unique issue of the amendment is the assumption the State will step in and
handle issues such as cultivation and distribution. The amendment does not have a strict licensing
provision and does not deal with the issue of the types of marijuana which are considered medical
marijuana and are still on the federal prohibited drug list. Local government regulations range from a
moratorium, a licensing regulatory ordinance, or allowing under a restricted basis. The City can adjust
the ordinance to deal with unanswered questions of distribution and the impact of fraud. The ordinance
does not prohibit anyone at the State level from possessing medical marijuana through an appropriate
source.
City Attorney Mantzaris commented approval of the ordinance was for potential applicants for medical
marijuana dispensaries to be aware the City is working through the process to determine the ultimate
zoning category for the dispensaries.

The property had a code enforcement case concerning an unsafe structure and the City moved forward
witha contractor to demolish the structure in 2003. The lien was recorded in the Public Records of Lake
County in December 2003. The total amount of the abatement is $3,750.08, which represents the direct
costs of$3,600 to demolish the structure and an additional$150.08 in other administrative expenses.
Staff recommended a.full waiver was not appropriate; however, should the Council consider a reduction,
staff recommended the reduction be paid within thirty days.
Billie Dean; the property owners' representative, noted he has paid taxes on the property for the last ten
years to ensure the property remained in the Dean family. Mr. Dean requested a reduction of the lien.

Planning Manager Henschel presented the parking variance request to accommodate a restaurant within a
retail/office building located at 2620 East Highway 50.
The building was constructed as a 5,110 square foot office building. The applicant is seeking a restaurant
use for 1,810 square feet of the,building space, of which 585 square feet will be used for patrons. The
City Code requires 14 parking spaces for the restaurant and 17 parking spaces for the remaining office
use,which leaves a deficit'of 4 parking spaces per City Code requirements.
Staff recommended denial of the parking variance request.
David Tillman; Tillman& Associates Engineering, LLC., was present and commented there will not be a
parking conflict due to the contrasting busy hours. The dental business is a daytime business and the
pizza restaurant business is mainly during the evening.
Mayor Ash opened the public hearing. There were no public comments. Mayor Ash closed the public
hearing.
Council Member Travis was not opposed to the request.
Council Member Mullins expressed concern of approving the request and another type of restaurant
occupying the space in the future which may create a parking issue. Mr. Mullins would like any approval
specific to only Marco's and any other restaurant be required to re-apply for approval.
City Attorney Mantzaris suggested wording the motion to grant the variance request based on the
application for a pizza restaurant.
Council Member Mullins moved for approval of the variance for the two businesses;
