ORDINANCE NO. 356-M
City Manager Forbes explained this ordinance would set new
rates for water and sewer service effective June 1, 1980.

rates can no longer subsidize the sewer system, mentioning
the sewer rates would need to be increased again once the new
sewer system is initiated. There was much discussion on
the need for these rate increases, and that it might be
best to delay the rate change until the City had more infor-
mation on the type sewer system improvements that will be
required in the near future. It was.. also stated the City
Manager should prepare a new Utility Assessment Charge for
new construction along with the rate increases, to insure
era

ORDINANCE 206-C TRANSITIO'I ZONE AMENDMENTS
City Manager Forbes explained the Planning and Zoning
Commission has been reviewing the City Zoning Ordinance
and map the last two years. He related the recommendations
of the Commission are revisions to insure the Ordinances
are up to (late and worded in a precise manner. The three
transition zones were reviewed and explained that the P & Z
believed it was time to change and rezone this property
to conform to the City's current zoning classifications.
Each Zoning District was considered individually with
public comment on the introduction. The M-1 District,
affecting Clermont Builders Supply and other businesses
was discussed with comment from Mr. Wolfe, relating he
was in agreement with the Planning and Zoning Commission
recommendations. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN BYRD,
80-63 SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN THOMAS AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED THAT
7ff IFTDUSTRIA AREA AROUND 14EST LAKE BE ZONED M-1 AS REC-
OMMENDED BY THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION.
There was discussion on the M-1 recommendation for the area
of the Bell Ceramics property. Mr. Jacob Lukas related he
was in favor of the Planning and Zoning Commission recom-
mendation of zoning the area M-1, rather than remaining R-3.
It was clarified that under the R-3, multiple family zoning,
Bell Ceramics would be able to continue its present business
for an unlimited period of time but could not be expanded.
Under M-1 Industrial zoning, an industrial plant could be
built or expand if the floor area were 7,000 square feet
in area or less. Larger structures would require a Condi-
tional Use Permit. The Industrial zone also allows general
commercial uses as permitted in the C-2 General Commercial
Zoning District. It was further clarified that if the Bell
Ceramics Building burned under the R-3 zoning it would not
be possible to construct a new manufacturing building at
this site. Mr. Jacob Lucas informed the council that he
strenuously objected to rezoning the Bell Ceramics property
to any district other than M-1 Industrial. After lengthy

ment Assistance Funding. Since the Clty of Clermont has agreed to become a
part of the Regional Planning Councils District for Law Enforcement Assistance

have received a pre -application for LEAA Funding from the Council, and believe
it is in the City's interest to submit a pre -application for police radio
consoleequipment and a separate radio frequency for Police use. The total
cost of such n system would be approximately $20,000, and 95% of the costs
would be paid by Federal Funds. If there are no Council objections, we will
proceed with the pre -application. liven if Lice funds were approved, the Clty
could still refuse Grant Funding.

Da Let April 4, I980
Yesterday, April 3, 1911o, I attended a nu:cti.ng held by tho Bn::t Central Florlda
Regional planning Council ref.urence IA:AA funds for Crl.tninal. Justice Improvetnmtt
System. During thin meotLm,l, several ci.l:ies were represented rugtlosting feuds
for assistance in law luformation.
During this meeting, [ rliscussad the City of Cle nnout's need for improved radio
communications for the police Department. I explained that; our system now
operates on a local government frequency. Ou this band', all city vehicles are
on the same frequency. i feel that the time has come for the Police Department
to have it's own police frequency for better law enforcement. During this time,
I learned there would only be $28,000.00 allocated for the Criminal Justice system
of Lake County including all cities. After I explained the cities CCquest, it
was a concensus of opinion of most cities that were represented there that the
city of: Clermont: should have top priority for it's request to update our communications
system.
If this ,rant should he approved, it. would mean we could be on our own police
frequency plus a complete console operation in the radio room. The console would
replace all the old equipment, desk etc., in the radio room and all radio operations
would operate'from one panel. In today's model law enforcement, most cities do have
a console type communications room.
If you approve, sometime during the next week, the preappli.cation can be submitted,
requesting these grant funds. The requested grant, if approved, would mean LEAA
would fund 951, of the funds for this project, leaving the city to pay a total of 57..
Ij
I estimate the total cost of the project at $20,000.00.

In rcvlewing the Zoning Ordinance, we kept In mind Ihnt Zoning "gul"t "onto nhnnld
ba prucltte; and worded in such A nuutncr that can be better under" wod by uur
cttizuAll, ns well till enforced by the Clty.
Zonhtglt�"vlslonq, 'rhe follootir,, In n nunumary of Lh" mA,lor rovi"lunu to
the Zoning Ordinance,

1'rnnnit.ton Zones All port of t11 city's Zoning, Ordinne,
ac'fill- pnrpone of then'

have bean expanded ur improved since 1969.
It in the intent of the Planning and Zoning Comminulon to remove the 'Transition
Zones from the Zoning ordinance, And rezone those properties in A manner flint
would reflect the highest and beat Use in our community. Attached is a map of the
propos.d zoning changes for these areas,
2, Format. The Zoning Districts have been placed In a nchcduled type
format with the regulations pertaining to a Zoning DintrLct on one page. Tills
will clarify the District Regulationn and ellminnte Life need to search throughout
-- the Ordinance for the District Regulntionn.
3. Residential Zones. 'file Residential Zoning DisLrictf; are --ssentlaLly
unchanged with two exceptions.
the R1AA Zeno hill, been eliminated. There fs ton property In the City II"'Itn zoned
HLAA, find we do not contemplate any properly in the future or presently In rived of
stio, zoning. The R1AA Zone provided for minimum lot sizes, of L5,000 square feet,
and allowed only Single Family Renidencen. The hn!fic Intent of this dfs;n•lc.t
was L' insure that as the City expanded, the City Zoning was connistant with the
CounL•v Zoning outside of the City limits. Ilowcvcr, we have reviewed L)cls' mot ter
and the Zoning in the County, and no longer hellev" that such a district Is
necessary.
We are also recommending that the R3A and R3 Zones he combined into nne Zone
known as R-3. The R-3 Residential Professional District and R3A Townhouse Districts
;ire essentially the some Zones with one exception. The R3 Zone allows Professional
Offices, but only as a Conditional Use. These two zones have been combined Into
one zone that allows Professional Offices as a Conditional Use. The only other
major change is that the lot width at the building setback line for duplexes was
reduced from 100' to 75'.
4, Commercial Zones.
C-1 - Neighborhood Commercial District. The Neighborhood Commercial
District is intended for ;all
neighborhood retnll. businesses that are located
adjacent to residential neighborhoods. 'these Uses would be -permitted as long as
they did not occupy more than 3,000 square feet or floor space. The. intent of
this Zone is to allow for light retail services that would not he detrlinentul to
abutting residences. This Zone would generally be located along major roads other
than Highway 50 and 27, and should become particularly important as the City grows
to the South.
C-2 - General Commercial District. The General Commercial District
is intended for full scale Retail Sales that service the needs of the entire
community. Tho General Commercial Districts in and will continue to be properties
that abut Ilighwaya 50 and 27. Retail Rusincan, Professional Offices, Autumotive
Sales, 1(otals, Restaurants, and related Uses are allowed in this zone.
PAgu 2 '
Prop000d Revisiona to City Zoning
Ordinance and Zoning Dlntrlcto
5. Induntrial Dint,t;ta. The city Zoning Ordinance pronently provide"
for two Indunrial Uletricta, one in at light, nod the other A medlum IndustrLal
Dlntrict.
We believe that the Lnterenta of the City could he better served by having only
one Industrial Dintrlct. Thin dintrict would entab lish performance Atandarda for
the type of induntrlan Allowed no a Permitted or Conditional Uno.
The proposed Industrial Dlntrict permits Llgla manofncturing, annumbling or packng-
Ing, lie long AS such work in conducted within n completely encloned building with
a total maximum floor space of 7,000 square feet or lean, Other Uses or manufnc-
turing plants greater than 7,000 square feet In nren could he Permitted an a Con-
dltlonal Use, provided that they can ment the Conditional thin ntnndnrds ontnblltilled
In the Ordinnnce.
6. Other Changes.
Mobile Nome Parka. The minimum nine of A Melilla Home Park of one
acre was established. Also, the setbnckn for Mobile llomen from A public street
was revined to be consistent with other Zenon, The front ]nrd setback In 50' nn
Highways 50 and 27, and 25 feat on other public ntreetn.
Parking. The parking requlremeM.:: for single family homer have
barn clarified to insure that adequate parking spaces are provided.
7. Sign Ordinance. The proposed Sign ordinance lien very few chanNan.
The main recommendation of the Commission is to adopt the proposed Sign Code
ordinance and separate it from the Zoning Ordinance. Thin had several advantages
in that It would allow us to place the code in no easily readable format that makes
the Sign Code much easier to understand than breaking the Code up under all of the
various Zoning Dintricts.
The other major revisions are that the Off Premise Signs Provisions have been
clarified to only allow such signs in vacant property. Off -site sign-9 sixty -
[our (64) square feat in area or less moot be a minimum of 200' from any other
off -site signs on the sane aide of the street. Off -site sign❑ greater than
64 square feet must be 1,000 from any other off -site sign.
The Ground Sign Provisions were also modified to allow Ground Slgnn lower than
9' it, height to be located in front of the building setback line. Ilewevcr, theca
signs cannot exceed 32 square feet in area and must not be closer to the street
than one-half of the required front yard setback.
Conclusion. The above revisions have been carefully considered by the
Planning and Zoning commission asin the best interests of our community. :iWen in
welcome public comment on these p ro orals. The Planning And Zoning
an advisory body to the City Council. Final consideration of these proposed
changes must be adopted by the City Council of the City of Clermont by ordinance.

Mcmo to: City Council
Prom: City Manager
Subject: Water Service Rates
Date: April 4, 1980
Attached is n Miscellaneous Ordinance Number 356 which sets new rates
for water and sewer ce efservifective June 1, 1980.
The Ordinance is necessary since the City has approved the FmHA Loan
in the amount of $1.7 Million Dollars for a new well, half million
gallon storage tank, and transmission lines.
This Ordinance increases the minimum charge for 3,000 gallons from $3
to $4, and the rate per thousand gallons of use from 50c, to 754.
The new water rates are based on the fact that the water rates can no
longer continue the $69,000 subsidy to the sewer system. However, the
sewer system will still be subsidized in the amount of $59,000 from
this years General Fund Budget.
Since the sewer rates can no longer receive a subsidy from the water
system, sewer rates for single family dwellings must be increased from
$6.75 to $9.00 per month, and General businesses from $9.00 to $12.00
per month.

Memo to: City Council
From: City Manager
Subject: Pence Bids
Date: April 7, 1980
Attached is a memo from the Public Works Director regarding the
installation of 4' fencing on Jaycee Beach.
I would recommend that the low bid from Quaid Installation, Inc.
be accepted of: $3.95 per ft., $190.00 for 12' gates, and $100
for 4' gates. The total cost of fencing Jaycee Beach would then
be about $4,500, or $1,000 less than anticipated
in the Recrea-
tion Budget.
We would also recommend that the low bid be accepted to include
option one, or the fencing of the park in Orange Hill at $4.38 per
foot, or an approximate cost• of $788.40. This is about $450 less
than anticipated in the Recreation Committee's Budget.
Respectfully,

Memo to: City Council
From: City Manager
Subject: Library
Date: April 4, 1980
The Library Board has requested to be placed on the Agenda of the next
City Council Meeting.
At this meeting the City Council must take formal action on the purchase
of the old Exchange Bank building, since our option with the Bank states
that the purchase must be closed by April 15, 1980.
-- Before the closing can take place, the Bank will require a copy of the ..
minutes of the meeting authorizing the purchase of the building, and a
legal opinion from a neutral attorney, (an attorney other than the City
Attorney), that the method of purchasing the building is legal and
valid.
Attached is a map showing the ownership of the properties that abut the
Library property. I have placed an X thru the properties I believe
that the City should consider purchasing for a future City Hall site.
All of these properties are vacant with the exception of Lot 17.
Respectfully,
