EAST CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCIL
City Manager Forbes reported that, as requested by Council at the
November 27th meeting, he had discussed with Regional Planning Council
officials if the City is required to have two A-95 review representatives '
and one Housing Plan member, and that it is not mandatory to have these
representatives, but it is highly recommended.
FmllA GRANT/LOAN APPLICATION
City Manager Forbes reported that, as authorized at the November 27th
meeting, he and Finance Director Saunders were preparing the FmHA grant/ -
loan application for the necessary funding of water improvements as
recommended by the City Engineer, and that the application would be
forwarded to FmHA officials later this week.
UTILITY RATES
Mayor Smoak reported on a memorandum from the City Manager concerning
utility rates and alternatives for funding of annual payments due for
the proposed utility improvements necessary to increase the water producing
capacity in the City of Clermont.
City Manager Forbes reported on alternative funding methods as follows:
Alternative I. No Subsidy to the _Sewer System
Since funding is necessary for financing water system improve-
ments, it may no longer be feasible to utilize water revenues
to subsidize the sewer system, as is currently being practiced,
but that without this subsidy, $69,742 in additional revenues
must be added to the sewer system. This would result in a 32%
increase in the sewer rates, which would increase the residential
rates from $6.75 to $8.91 per month, or a $2.16 per month increase.'`
This alternative has two major advantages: (1) it would adjust
the sewer rates to accurately reflect actual operating costs, and
(2) it would only require an increase in the water rates of $1.00
per month to finance the water system improvements.
Alternative II Continue the Subsidy to the Sewer System
By continuing to subsidize the sewer system with water system
revenues, the City would be required to increase only the water
rates to finance the water improvements. This could be accom-
plished by increasing the minimum water rate for the first 3,000
gallons from $3.00 to $4.50, and increase the rate for each
additional 1,000 gallons from 504 to 75G.

to a Public Hearing on the proposed utility .improvements for discussion
by Council members and any intoresLod citizens, such meeting to be held
at 7:30 P.M. in the Jenkinn Auditorium.
LAKE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION
Councilman Cole reported that the Chamber of Commerce had instigated a
study of the Lake Corrocti.onal Institution inasmuch as the facility was
originally constructed for the housing of minimum security prisoners,
but that maximum security prisoners were currently being housed in the
facility.
SR50 TRAFFIC LANE MARKERS
Councilman Meginley reported that the Department of Transportation,
through a communication to the City Manager, had agreed to re -install
reflective markers on SR50 through Clermont in the near future.
LIBRARY BOARD
Councilman Byrd commented on the amendment to the Minutes of the Regular
Meeting held November 13th concerning the Library Board, as requested
by Mayor Smoak, inasmuch as he believed the wording of the amendment
might be misconstrued. lie reported that it was his understanding that
Minneola City Manager Water was a voting member of the Library Board
prior to his appointment as City Manager, and any connection between Mr.
Waters as City Manager in Minneola and his position on the Library Board
were coincidential. Mayor Smoak was in agreement, but advised of
questions by several Clermont citizens concerning the fact that Clermont
tax monies were being spent without any City representation on the Board
as a voting delegate, as opposed to an adjacent municipality who funds
nothing toward the Library, having more authority in determining where
City of Clermont funds are spent.
EXPENSE VOUCHERS
City Manager Forbes advised of a new standard expense voucher form that
was available to be used by any City employee for reimbursement of
expenses incurred while on official City business.
Mayor Smoak excused himself from the Chair, and Councilman Byrd assumed the
Chair.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN GRANT
City Manager Forbes advised he had received information from the
Department of Community Affairs regarding the availability of State
grant funds under the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act; That
the grant program has been expanded to allow communities that had
already completed their comprehensive plans to receive funding to
implement their Plans; That the funds are awarded on a 50% matching
basis; That approximately $6,200 in grant funds could be available to
the City of Clermont, and; That he recommended that the preliminary
application be forwarded to the Department of Community Affairs inasmuch
as if accepted, grant monies could still be refused. Following the

This grant program has been expanded to allow communities that have already
completed their comprehensive plans to receive funding to implement the Comprehensive
Plan elements, such as our sewer study that the City Engineer has been authorized to
complete. As I understand it, these funds are awarded on a 50% matching bnsis. The
maximum grant amounts are based on a city's population, and approximately $6,200 in F
grant funds could be available to tl:e City of Clermont. t
Enclosed are resolutions and preliminary application forms necessary to
participate in this program. The State Department of Community Affairs will select• 1.
applicants for funding. If selected for funding, the City would then be asked to
list eligible projects for this program.
Since this is a State program, I would recommend we submit the preliminary
application. We could use these monies to assist in funding the sewer study, and
possibly the Sewer Plant improvements. 11e would only be submitting a preliminary
application, and if accepted, could still refuse grant monies.

SECRETARY
Dear Local Official:
The 1979 Legislature appropriated over $700,000 to provide
grants to cities and counties to help meet the requirements of
the Local Government Comprehensive Planning Act (LGCPA) of 1975.
Approximately $300,000 of these funds remain uncommitted after
awarding grants to our first round of applicants. Therefore,
the program rule (Chapter 9B-5, Florida Administrative Code) has
been amended to allow a second round of applications during the
current program year. An application form to request assistance
under this program is enclosed, along with sample resolutions
for individual applicants and joint applicants.
Your community is one of approximately 135 cities and
counties in the State that are eligible to apply for funding -- -
under this program. Grants of $1600 to $16,000 (depending on
community population) are available to prepare plans required
by the LGCPA. Funds will be allocated to local governments in
accordance with procedures established in Chapter 9B-5, FAC.
This system was developed and modified with considerable local
input following the initial appropriation by the 1977 Legisla-
ture.
It should be emphasized that local governments that have
already prepared required plan elements can receive funding to
update existing plans, or to prepare or revise implementation
mechanisms for the required plan elements. Implementation
mechanisms include, among other things, zoning ordinances, sub-
division regulations, and capital improvement programs.
The deadline for receiving applications for funding is
December 31, 1979. All information required in the enclosed
application package must be included, with the possible excep-
tion of the resolution. If your governing body will have fewer
than two regu
lar meetings between the time of receipt of this
application and the December 31 deadline, a letter to this
effect should be submitted with your application form. The letter
should also indicate the date of your governing body's regularly

scheduled meeting, and an assurance that the council/commission
will act on the appropriate resolution at that meeting and 1
submit it to this Department as soon as possible. This letter
should be signed by the chief elected official, and should
accompany the application form. -1
In summary, if your local government wishes to apply for
LGCPA funding, the following are required:
1. A completed application form signed by the
chief elected official, and
2. A resolution appropriately passed by the local
governing body containing the assurances
indicated in the sample resolution (or a letter
in place of the resolution as mentioned above).
If you need assistance in completing an application package
or desire a copy of the Rule, please contact $i;,L1 Dowse, Depart-
ment of Community Affairs, Division of Local Resource Management,

REQUE,81' FOR VARIANCE,
November. 211, 1979
OWNER: Ernest & Marguerite Arvenen
APPLICANT: Ernest & Marguerite Arvesen by: Juntnta Cash Boyd
PROPERTY: Lot 366, Orange Park Subdivision
LOCATION: 1648 First Street
ZONING: R1A
REQUEST: Lot width at building line from 100' required to 80'.
i
I
COMENTS: The Boyd family owns Lots 364, 365, and 366, Orange Park Subdivision.
Each lot has a frontage of 80'. Within the last few years, the
Boyd's deeded one lot to each of their three children. Their
daughter, Mrs. Arvesen, now wishes to sell Lot 366 for the construction
of a home.
Chapter 26-12 of the Zoning Ordinance states that "No parcel, even
though it may consist of one or more adjacent lots in the same owner-
ship at the time of passage of this ordinance, shall be reduced in
size so that lot width or size of yards or lot area per family or
any other requirements of this ordinance is not maintained". By
deeding the lots separately without maintaining the proper frontage,
the Boyd's violated this section. 11Ii
However, much of the property in this area has been developed on lots
with a frontage of 80'. Even Lot 367, that is adjacent to this
property, is developed with an 80' frontage.
If this variance were granted, the lot frontage would be compatible
with this neighborhood. The lot meets all of the other requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance. There is no way the present owner of this
property (the Boyd's daughter) can construct a home on this lot without
a variance. {

TO THE ZONING BOAR( ADJUSTMENT ) -
OF THE CITY OF CLERt'wjli, FLORIDA
APPLICANT
NAME: Ernest & Marguerite Arvosen
ADDRESS; 2493 Woodacres Roadi_` l
Atlanta, GA
Gentlemen:
(laving posted the necessary $25.00 appeal fee with the City Clerk, I hereby make
application to your Board for relief from a decision of the Building Official of the City
of Clermont, whereby I was refused permission to:
Repair ( ), Add to ( ), Alter ( ), Construct (x ), Move and Place ( ), a (sign) building
on tot/s 366 , Block 30
Subdivision orange Park , Address 1648 First Street ,Zone R1A
Section of Code 26-20 (C)(2) in the City of Clermont, Florida..
The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a
building permit is:
Section 26-20 R1A URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT (C) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS -
A minimum width of lots shall be 100' measured at the building setback
line.
My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a
hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons:
Thts lot more thar, meets n11 other vaciairemer.ts for Rift Zone and tins
bc,on of record for many ,years. Unless n Vartnrec 1.3 rararbed this
butldirU site cars,,(; be used.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size Wj" x 14" minimum size.
I submit that I qualify for this variance because I have an exceptional and unique
hardship on my particular parcel of land that is not shared by property owners in my area.
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.
Date: November 28. 1979
Very truly yours,
