Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered a request by Sumerex Engineering Corporation for multiple variances to the Zoning Ordinance to allow for construction of three duplexes on their pro- perty located in Sunset Heights Subdivision. City Manager Forbes ad- vised of the following variances that would be necessary: A. Lot area of 28,775 sq. ft., whereas 30,000 sq.ft. is required (10,000 per duplex). B. Lot width at the building setback line of 100 feet, whereas 200 feet is required for Units #1 and #2. C. Lot width on Oak Street of 27.5 feet for Unit #3, whereas 50 is required. D. Distance of 20 feet between Units #1 and 42, whereas 50 feet is required. Mr. Dennis Horton, Attorney, representing the Sumerex Corporation, appeared before Council in support of the request and advised it was their desire to construct three top quality duplexes that they felt would be an asset to the community, but due to the unusual con- figuration of the property, the multiple variances would be required. He further opined that it would deprive the owners of a reasonable use of their property unless the variances were granted. Following inquiry from the Chair as to anyone present who desired to address the matter, Mr. & Mrs. George Rudd, Mr. & Mrs. Cal Ilettinger, Mr. & Mrs. Roger Test, Ms.Miriam Conboy, Messrs. Irvin Crews, Charles Paul, Robert Zoppi, and Dan J. Westbrook, all abutting and/or adjacent pro- perty owners, appeared before Council in opposition to the request, expressing great concern as to such increased density so close to existing homes in the area, and the already heavy traffic congestion existing due to the location's close proximity to the elementary and senior high school complex. It was generally agreed by Council that an excessive number of variances to the Zoning Ordinance were being requested for a single project, and, that ingress and egress to the property as proposed would be so close to the existing homes as to 80-1 create a hardship in the community. Motion was thereupon made by CITY OF CLPPAIONT MINUTES Councilman Colo, seconded by Councilman Thoman and unrulimounl cars. cc a • ie rndu�n : Mn c n1 O.i.ncfa —��- BLOXAM AVENUE PROPOSED CLOSING councilman Meg.nloy arrived at thin Limo, and adv.iaod IIo had apponrod 80-2 before the City Council of Minneola regarding the proporied cloning of Bl.oxam Avenue in Minneola that is located north of Silvar.ton Street and west of Highway 27, which is included in the City's Comprehensive Plan as a major north -south street that should be extended through the cities of Clermont and Minneola. He further advised that no action was taken on the matter pending consultation with their. City Attorney. NATURAL GAS DISTRICT ANNUAL REPORT Mr. Jack Sargent, the City's representative on the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District's Board of Directors, appeared before Council to report that for the first time since the District was established .in Juno of 1959, they had realized a not surplus at fiscal year ending September. 30, 1979, and, that in accordance with their covenants and with an equitable rolling formula that was developed between the three parti- cipating cities for distribution, he was honored to present the City with their share in the amount of $50,000. Mayor Smoak advised that the formula originally derived for the City of Clermont's share had been a fixed rate on a percentage basis; That the growth factor in South Lake County since that time had certainly exceeded that fixed rate; and, That due to the efforts of Mr. Sargent as an active parti- cipant and leader on the District's Board of Directors, Clermont's share,'I had appreciably increased because of a formula change to a more equitable, floating rate. Mayor Smoak commended Mr. Sargent for his efforts, and opined that they had definitely and appreciably benefited the tax payers.' in the City of Clermont. LAKE COUNTY LEAGUE OF CITIES City Manager Forbes advised of the quarterly Lake County League of Cities meeting to be held at the Leesburg Community Center on Wednesday, January 16th at 7:00 P.M., and that reservations should be made with - the City Clerk no later than 4:00 P.M. on January llth. LAKE SHORE DRIVE Mayor Smoak opined that he felt it important for the City to pursue the gaining of legal easements on the few remaining parcels of property along Lake Shore Drive that were not resolved with adoption of the Ordinance closing a portion of Lake Shore Drive in exchange for utility easements, and he suggested that the City Attorney be authorized to communicate with the remaining property owners in question to try to arrange a negotiated settlement for legal easements in order that all the problems along Lake Shore Drive with utilities and street location could be resolved. He further suggested that the City Attorney then convey any,and/or all, requests made by these property owners back to 80-3 Council for consideration. Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Meginley and unanimously carried that the suggestions of RE -COUP OF 1979 Mayor Smoak opined that 1979 had been a very productive year in the City of Clermont with the conclusion of three major projects that will have tremendous effect in the future of the community, these being the success in the Legislature for removal of 9200 land acres immedia- tely south of the city limits from the designated area of Critical State Concern; The conclusion of the Marshland Study concerning effluent disposal; and, The conclusion of an engineering report on the city's water system which had been initiated in March of 1978. He advised that -2- CITY OP CLER3IONT MINUTES the City had experienced an extremely fast growth position which is exceeding an annual rate of 8% as opposed to a national. rate of 3.6%, but that the type of growth experienced had bean complimentary to the community we have Lodayl That there were several factions. in the City that hold strong footings for no growth as opposed to several others that held strong feelings for unrestrained growth, and it is the responsibility of the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council to adopt ordinances within those two perimeters; and, That upon an evalua- tion of the type of growth vs the growth rate vs retaining the chara- cter of the community, lie felt the P & Z Commission had performed an outstanding job and deserved the recognition of everyone in the com- munity. SIGNS Councilman Cole advised of heavy pedestrian traffic across State Road 50 in the vicinity of the Jacob's Chapel. Baptist Church prior and following the church services on Sunday mornings, and inquired if "Slow" signs could be installed in that area during that time period.

COOPER MEMORIAL LIBRARY BOARD PROPOSAL Mr. Tom Dougherty, representing the Library Board, appeared before Council to advise of the Board's positive plan of action to move the 80-4 Library to the former Exchange Bank Building from its outgrown present location on Desoto Street, and thereupon presented a formal proposal for Council consideration as follows: A.

ZONING: R2 Two -Family REQUEST: The following variances are requested to allow the con- struction of three duplexes on this property: A. Lot area of 28,775 sq. ft., whereas 30,000 sq. ft. is required (10,000 per duplex). D. Lot width at the building setback line of 100 feet,' whereas 200 feet is required for Units #1 and #k2. C. Lot width on Oak Street of 27.5 feet for Unit ,y3,' whereas 50 feet is required. 3r D. Distance of 20 feet between Units I)1 and i--2, whereas 50 feet is required. In June, 1973, a variance for this same site plan was granted by the City Council. Since all variances expire in one year, another variance is requested. COMMENTS: If this variance is granted, I would recommend that a driveway be required off Orange Avenue to service Units #1 and #2. These buildings will have Orange Avenue addresses, and the driveway would facilitate off-street parking on this street. One possible alternative to this request would be to allow one duplex to be constructed from Orange Avenue (Unit #1), and one unit from Oak Street (Unit $3). These two duplexes could be constructed with only one variance. The variance would be the 27.5' width on Oak Street, here-,.,,' as 50' is required. All other provisions of the ordinance`'. would be met. George D.

A strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives me of the reasonable use of my land and the granting of this variance will not alter the essential' character of the area. I have been notified that this Variance Application must be filed with the City Clerk no later than 5:00 P.M. on Friday, two (2) weeks prior to the Council meeting at which time Variance will be considered. I also understand that when any variance is granted, construction of the structure must be completed within one year from date of grant. .
