VARIANCE REQUEST: DR. THOMAS WEAVER
Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, continued the Public Hearing to consider the '.
request of Dr. Thomas D. Weaver for multiple variances to the zoning ordinance to order
to place four single family dwellings as rental units on his property described as:
Lots 8 and 9, -
Block 5
Sunnyside Unit Subdivision,
such Hearing having been postponed at the October 23rd Regular Meeting pending a
written legal opinion by the City Attorney as to the legality of Council action on the
request as proposed. City Attorney Baird submitted his opinion wherein he advised of
no legal impediment to the granting of a variance to the provision which only allows
1 building for each lot, assuming that a sufficient hardship can be shown, but that
careful consideration should be given to possibly setting a precedent in allowing a
variance to Section 26-15 which specifically states that only one principal residential
building may be erected on one lot. He further advised that no provision currently
exists in the ordinances to allow for the separation of a multiple -family dwelling.
City Manager Forbes advised of a revised plan submitted by Dr. Weaver this date, wherein
he proposed only 3 single family dwelling units on the property which would require
lot area, side yard, and lot frontage variances. Dr. Weaver appeared before Council
in support of his request and reiterated his previous statement that existing ordinances
would allow him to construct a complex of this type under a single roof, but in order to
preserve the existing beauty of the site which includes many large trees, such con-
stuction would not be possible without the loss of many of the trees, and the cost for
such construction would be too exhorbitant to be practical at a reasonable rental fee.
There was no one else present who desired to address the matter. It was the consensus
of Council that a unique hardship on the property does not exist that is not shared by
abutting properties which have been developed, and that the existing ordinance is
explicit in allowing only 1 single family unit per lot. Motion was thereupon made by
Councilman Schroedel seconded by Councilman Meginley and unanimously carried that the
In.
in; request be denismuch as the proposal of Dr. Weaver appeared to be of a cluster
concept development, and no provision for such is included in existing ordinances, it
was the suggestion of Mayor Smoak that such matter be referred to the P 6 Z Commission
for address and review of existing ordinances, and recommendations back to Council.
Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Meginley and unanimously

VARIANCE REQUEST: GEORGE D. ROBERTS

residence on his property described as:
CITY OF CLEPAIONT
MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING
Lots 18 and 20,
Block 107,
Indlan Hills Subdivision
(1090 Seminole Street).
City Manager Forbes advised that Mr. Roberts presently resides at 1090 Seminole
Street on the above described property, and that he desired to divide his property in
order to construct a new residence which would reduce the size of the lot on which the
existing residence Is located to that of a nonconforming status in that a zero lot
line from the 7'S required and a 20'5 rear yard from the 25' required would exist.
Mr. Roberts appeared before Council in support of his request, and advised that due to
the age of his present home, it would be too expensive and impractical to remodel, and
that the proposed new construction would meet all zoning requirements. There was no
one else present who desired to address the matter. City Clerk Carroll read communi-
cations from Messrs. George Geiger, J.R. Peacock, and David Coggshall, abutting property
owners) wherein they expressed oppostlon to the request, opining that such permission
would alter the essential character of the neighborhood; That the general situation
regarding rear lot lines Is neither unique or exceptional; and, That to grant such a
request would be setting a precedent for future requests. Council was in agreement
that an unique hardship to the property had not been established, whereupon motion
was made by Councilman Cole, seconded by Councilman Meginley and unanimously carried
VARIANCE REQUEST: WILLIAM DELANEY
Counell, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered a request by Mr. William Delaney
for a Variance to Section 26-22 (C) (2) (112 MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT -LOT
WIDTH REQUIREMENTS AT BUILDING SETBACK LINE FOR DUPLEXES) of the zoning Ordinance in
order to construct two duplexes on his property described as:
Lots 15, 16, 17,
Lettered Block Q
(200 Block of East Highland Avenue)
City Manager Forbes advised that the total land area consisted of4968 square feet in ---
excess of the required square footage for two duplexes, but that a lot width variance
from 100' required to 79' and 75' respectively would be necessary. Mr. Delaney
appeared before Council in support of his request, and advised that the only public
street access to his property is from East Highland Avenue due to the State Road 50
drainage construction along the unopened Hibiscus Street abutting his property to the
West, and the DOT'S water retention area abutting the rear of the property, but that the
total land area is of sufficient size to accomodate the desired 2 duplexes Following
inquiry from the Chair as to anyone else present who desired to address the matter,
Mr. William Hohler, the immediate property owner to the West, also abutting on the
unopened Hibiscus Street, advised Council that he had no objection to the request.
Motion was then made by Councilman Byrd seconded by Councilman Cole and unanimously
carried that the request be granted.
VARIANCE REQUEST: LEWIS K. RUNNELS dba PELICAN OIL COMPANY
Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered the request of Mr. Lewis K.Runnels
for a variance to Section 26-24 (E) (1) (Cl NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT -SETBACKS
FROM STATE ROAD 50) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct an addition to an
existing building on his property described as:
Lots 8, 9, and 10,
City Block 72
(677 W. Highway 50)
Mr. Harry Runnels, representing Mr. Lewis K. Runnels, appeared before Council in support
of the request, and advised that the existing building is a non -conforming building
inasmuch as it now maintains a setback of only 3418", and in order to maintain the
building as a viable economic unit, they desire to further penetrate the setback line
an additional-12' in order to construct an addition for a more complete offering of
convenience merchandise. Councilman Meginley inquired of the possibility for the pro-
posed addition to be constructed on other sides of the building, and Mr. Runnels advised'
this would be economically unfeasible due to locations of restrooms and a complex
electrical wiring system which would have to be completely renovated at a prohibitive
cost. Councilman Meginley opined that an unique hardship to the property had not been
established, and further, to grant such request would be to allow a setback from State`
Road 50 of less than one-half of that required, and he thereupon moved that the request-
be denied. The motion was seconded by Councilman Schroedel. Mayor Smoak opined that
CITY OF CLP101ONT
MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING
the zoning ordinance should be followed when on unique hardship to the property Is not
established, and further, should a commercial structure be constructed on the immediate
property to the east, which would be required to maintain the 50' setback from the
highway, it would create on economic disadvantage to that property if this request were
granted. There was no one else present who desired to address the matter, and upon a
call from the Chair for a vote, the motion war unanimously carried that the request be
denied.
VARIANCE REQUEST: MR. AND MRS. IRA AYERS
Counc , sitting as a Boar o Adjustment, considered the request of Mr, and Mrs. Ira
Ayers for a Variance to Section 26-23 (C) (1) (2) (R3 RESIDENTIAL PROFESSIONAL DISTRICT_
LOT SIZE AND LOT WIDTH GENERAL REQUIREMENTS) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to alter -
their existing home on their property described as:
S 1/2 of Lot 12,
All of Lot 11,
City Block 95
(658 West Avenue)
to accomodate 2 retiree apartments wherein a lot width variance from 100' required to
751, and a lot area variance from 10,000 square feet required to 9375, would be
necessary. Mrs. Ayers appeared before the Council in support of the request, and
advised that the house is too large for a single family; That it was purchased with the
intention of making alterations to accomodate two families; That the proposed alter-
ations would be entirely Interior; That the building is located on a corner lot with
outside entrances on two streets; and, That ample parking space to accomodate two
families is available. There was no one else present who desired to address the matter.
City Clerk Carroll advised of a telephone communication from Mrs. Beulah Ferguson, the
immediate property owner to the North, who voiced no objection to the request. Council-
man Byrd opined that a genuine hardship existed on the property due to its corner -lo-
cation Inasmuch as the lot width requirement could be met on Montrose St., but which
would then create a non-conformance in the front yard setback, and he thereupon moved
that the re uest for a variance in the lot width and lot area requirements be granted.
The motion was seconded by Councilman Schroedel and unanimously carried.
CUP REQUEST: BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH
Council considered a request by officials of the Blessed Sacrament Church for a Con-
ditional Use Permit in order to construct an educational building consisting of eight
rooms for Sunday School classes on their property located at 720 12th Street. Mayor
Smoak advised that the P E Z Commission, meeting In regular session on November 6th, had
unanimously voted to recommend that the request be granted subject to the following
conditions:
(1) That all applicable regulations and ordinances be met;
(2) That the use not be expanded except with a CUP; and,
(3) That all conditions be met prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of Occupancy.
Mrs. Frances Boone, representative of the Church, appeared before Council in support of
the request, and advised that the proposed building would be in compliance with all
applicable City Codes. Councilman Meginley expressed concern for safety factors in that:
the vehicular and pedestrian traffic would be located in the same general area, to which`
Mrs. Boone advised of no existing problems, and the proposed structure would not create`•
additional traffic or parking. There was no one else present who desired to address
the matter. Motion was made by Councilman Sc,,hroedel seconded by Councilman Cole and
unanimousl carried that the recommendations the P b Z Commission be acce fed, and
the necessary Resolution or granting of the CUP be prepared for presentation at the

Board, wherein she advised of the Board's Inability to receive, at this time, any

in their individual budgets for this fiscal year. It was the opinion of Councilmen
Byrd and Schroedel that the Library Board would seek all possible means of insuring
funding from these two titles In the next fiscal year. Mayor Smoak requested that the _
City Manager communicate to the Library Board regarding Council's previous recommend-
ation that the fee structure for out-of-town residents be reviewed, and, to request a

majority of funding is provided by the City of Clermont.

be performed by the City. Councilman Byrd thereupon offered and moved the adoption of

Resolution was adopted, it was read by City Clerk Carroll by title only, and the

City Manager Forbes advised of a request by DOT for permission to install pavement
markings and advance warning signs at rail/highway crossings in the. City which would.
allow them to upgrade the sites to insure that they meet the manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. Councilman Cole offered and moved the adoption of A
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT CONFIRMING A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT FORA PROJECT
OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION and the motion was seconaeu uy wunaii c_
Meginley and unanimously carried. The Resolution was adopted, it was read by City
Clerk Carroll by title only, and the Number 340 assigned to it.
Councilman Meginley introduced AN ORDINANCE UNDER THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY
OF CLERMONT, CLOSING AND PERMANENTLY ABANDONING A PORTION OF AN UNNAMED STREET ON
THE NORTH BOUNDARY OF HILLCREST SUBDIVISION, and the Ordinance was read in its
entirety for a first reading by City Clerk Carroll. Councilman Cole, who was not
present at the previous meeting at which time the Ordinance was authorized to be
prepared, inquired as to the ownership of the property in question , whether it be
Guage, Inc. or the City, and questioned the reasoning as to why the City should
abandon the property to Guage, Inc. for a private beach, if, in fact, it is owned
by the City. Attorney Dennis Horton, representative of Guage, Inc., appeared
before Council to reiterate his statement of the previous meeting at which time
he had requested that Council re -consider closing the property in question based
on the fact that, since their initial appearance before Council at which time they
had assumed the property had been dedicated and accepted by the City as a street,
they had conducted a thorough search on the chain of title on the property which
revealed there was never a deed from any property owner on the property to the
City; That the only time it ever appeared was on a city map of 1926 that had been
drawn in by an Engineer in Virginia; and, That a map of 1884 of the City did not
reveal that this property existed as a street, but rather as privately owned property
up to the water's edge. Inasmuch as the City Attorney had previously rendered an
adverse opinion to that of Mr. Horton, he was asked to respond, and he advised
of his position that the street as it exists on the city map, will continue to be a
street until such time as the Court makes a determination that it is not a street;
That sufficient case law exists in Florida that dedication of a street is not com-
pletely necessary in all instances for a portion of land to become a street; and,
That it is his recommendation to Council that the City continue to view this property
CITY OF CLF.2IIONT

as a street, as It I:: recorded on the official map of the City of Clermont, until
a Court clarIfles the Ilia Ltur or the Council chooses to close the street. Mayor
Smoak Inquired of City At tornoy Baird as to the aIIowe bIo use of the property by
the City, and ho responded that the City Is restricted to use of the property only
as a street or for the InsCallatlon of public utilities. Councilman Byrd
Inquired of City Attorney Baird as to If, in fact, the City Council at the
previous meeting had made any determination whatsoever, or whether somebody had
expressed an opinion that finally reduced itself to writing and was the basis for
a motion that was adopted to have the proposed Ordinance prepared to reverse an
action taken by Council at a previous meeting, which was reflected In the Minutes
of the October 23rd meeting, but from which he could find no indication that facts
were found nor a motion made prior to the motion to rescind the previous Council
action. City Attorney Baird advvsed that the reason those words are In the Minutes
Is that, In order to close a street, the Council must make certain findings; That
those questions were considered at the last meeting; That a motion was made to
prepare an Ordinance to close the street based upon those questions which were
discussed; and, That by approving the nation to have the Ordinance prepared, the
matter was placed in Ordinance form for later approval or rejection. Councilman
Byrd thereupon advised that the point he desired to make was that the facts, as
were stated in the Minutes as facts, were not necessarily facts at all, but were
rather Inserted In the Minutes as a post -script to support the motion that had
been adopted by the Council, and the City Attorney responded In the affirmative.
Councilman Schroedel advised that he had been in opposition to closing of the
street when It was initially requested, but following the determination that the
property could only be utilized as a street and/or public utilities, he did not
now feel that it would be an asset to the City and would be in favor of having it
closed. Councilman Byrd opined that the matter had been thoroughly discussed
during the October 23rd meeting at which time he felt that no need existed for
the City to abandon the property; That his opinion had not changed since that time;_
That the City still has an interest in the property; That it has been public
property since 1926, a 50 year period that it has been claimed by the City; That
the property owner has recognized that the City has a claim to it, else a request
for abandonment would not have been made; and, That he would applaud the City
Attorney's legal opinion that it is owned by the City, and could see no reason for
giving it away. Mayor Smoak expressed concern regarding liability on the part
of the City, following the opinion of the City Attorney that use of the property
is restricted to street and/or utility purposes inasmuch as the objection submitted
in not closing the street at the initial hearing was not because of the future use
for the City, but because of a current use as a recreational facility, and he felt
that Council's action at that time had condoned and encouraged the continued use
of the property as a recreational facility.
Councilman Byrd introduced AN ORDINANCE UNDER THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF j
CLERMONT, LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF rHE PLANNING AND !
ZONING COMMISSION FOR THE CITY OF CLERMONT, and the Ordinance was read in its
entirety by City Clerk Carroll. Councilman B rd moved to amend the ro osed
Ordinance by making a change in Section 2. Qualifications for Membership. sub -
"I -he City Council may appoint no more than two (2) members who are not
registered electors".
The motion was seconded by Councilman Cole and unanimously carried It was the
suggestion of Mayor Smoak that Council consider an amendment to Section 7, (A)(Voting)
wherein it requires that a vote be registered for each member inasmuch as such
procedure is burdensome, and is not now practiced by the P&Z Commission. Motion was
thereupon made by Councilman Byrd seconded by Councilman Schroedel and unanimously
carried that the aforementioned section be amended as follows:
"At all meetings of the P&Z Commission, each member shall be entitled
to one vote, at which time a voice vote wi I I be taken un ess a request
is made for a ro I I ca I I vote".
Councilman Schroedel introduced AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A

as a citizen member of the Regional Planning Council. One member
of the City Council should also be appointed. The Regional Planning
Council meets in the mornings on the fourth Wednesday of each
month.
The City Council also needs to appoint two members and
two alternates to an A-95 Review Committee. The A-95 Committee
has scheduled meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of each
month, but generally meets only once a month. A-95 review is a
regional planning process where projects involving federal funding
are reviewed as to their impact on local communities.

TIw East Central Florida Regional Planning Connell at a recent meeting authorized
the cstablishmont of an advisory committee to assist in the preparation of the
Areawido (lousing Opportunity Plan M11011). Ilic purpose of this committee will
be to provide direction and guidance to the staff in the preparation of the A110P.
It is anticipated that this committee will meet no more than once a month, and
on an average its meetings will be hi -monthly or quarterly for the two year plan
preparation period.
The Board of Directors will soon appoint twelve to fifteen individuals to the
committee. For this reason, member governments are being asked to submit
nominees. The nominees may come from any of the following categories:
1. Elected officials from your governing body;
2. Members of your Regional Planning Council delegation;
3. Staff members from your jurisdiction;
A. Representatives from the community at large.
Please keep several factors in mind when making your nominations. First, since
the Board of Directors wants to keep the committee to a manageable size, all
nominees may not become committee members. Appointments will be made upon con-
sideration of such things as appropriate geographic distribution and professional
and lay balance. Second, it is both necessary and advantageous to have adequate
minority membership on the committee. Finally, it would be beneficial to appoint
committee members who have both the interest and the time to attend meetings
and make contributions.
If possible, please submit your nominations by November 15, 1979. Let me also
take this opportunity to thank you for your attention to this matter.

Attn: Mr. Gordon Tiffany,
City Manager
Gentlemen:
In compliance with your instructions on October 10, 1978, we have
had an opportunity to review the "Engineering Report of the Municipal
Water System for the City of Clermont", by Dawkins and Associates, Orlando,
Florida, November, 1973, and relate the report data and findings to the
scope of work as presented to you on October 10, 1978,
The following is a revision of our purpose and scope of work for
the Water and Sewerage Systems Investigation: - - -
WATER SUPPLY AND TREATMENT
Purpose: To perform an up -date inventory of the City's present potable
water system, to extend its current customer usage and project its future
customer usage. Relate these findings to the City's present system, utiliz-
ing good Engineering standards and the current State Department of Environ-
mental Regulation requirements to determine future needs and requirements.
Dawkins and Associates report of 1973 will be used as a base for the above
work.
Sc
o a of Work: Make a current inventory of all of the City's water supply,
nc u ing, ut not limited to pumping, treatment, storage, and major distri-
bution systems, placing emphasis on the following:
1. Project future demands on the system, using the present number of water
connections and usage considering previous growth figures and current
growth trends.
2. Investigate water supply sources, performing quantitative pumping tests
on the new Seminole Well.
Y Honorable Claude E. Smoak, Jr., Mayor Page 2
and Councilmen
.October 23, 1978
E-113F
3. Review and analyze available water quality reports on file with the
City, both past and present, and perform any chemical and/or bacterio-
logical tests on existing water sources as deemed necessary.
4. Inventory all pollution sources within 100' radius of each well and
investigate sources of cross -connections, recommending remedial
measures if necessary.
S. Determine the maximum daily and hourly uses during peak flow periods,
utilizing existing flow measuring devices if possible.
6. Collect and analyze the available data on the abandoned Highland Ave.,
well and recommend further testing procedures if feasible to possibly
make use of this source of water.
7. Up -date hydraulic flow and pressure losses of the larger mains in
the distribution system between the pumps and elevated reservoirs.
Analyze the results to determine which lines should be considered
for Hrouting or where new lines should be installed to improve
efficiency and safety of the pump -transmission -reservoir system.
8. Analyze and up -date the current and future reservoir systems and
automatic controls. Make recommendations for remedial measures
to upgrade control system if necessary. If additional reservoir
capacity is found -to be required in the future, recommendations
will be made on location, size, and approximate date when construc-
tion should be considered.
9. Analyze current development trends to determine the future needs
and uses of the water system and outline an expansion program in-
i
cluding a schedule for implementation and budgetary purposes.
SEWAGE COLLECTION, TREATMENT, AND DISPOSAL
Purpose: To perform a complete inventory of the City's Sewage System
to determine the current customer usage and project future usage and
relate this to the present capabilities of the system.
It is recognized that the Engineer is presently addressing the
disposal problems of the City in an effort to meet the disposal compli-
ance schedule as adopted by the City Council and presented to the State
of Florida, Department of Environmental Regulation.
Honorable Claude E. Smoak, Jr, Mayor Page 3
and Councilmen
October 23, 1910
E-113F
Scope off Work: Make a current inventory of all of the City's collection
system, including but not limited to lift stations, transmission lines,
waste treatment plant and disposal facilities, placing emphasis on the
following:
1. Using the present number of sewer connections, daily and monthly
flow data, we will project future needs and demands on the collection
system, lift stations, and waste treatment plant.
2. We will inspect and make recommendation for current changes which
should be made within the collection system or treatment plant that
would result in more efficient utilization of the existing treatment
facilities.
3. Analyze current development trends to determine future needs and uses
of the waste water system and project a schedule for additional treat-
ment facilities at the plant. Prepare an estimate along with a time
schedule which may be used for implementation and budgetary purposes.
Since.the disposal system is very critical as a result of the plan to
continue to place the treated effluent in the Palatlakaha Marsh, this
will be considered so that there will be not conflict with the current
studies being made by the University of Florida .
Using City forces to assist in obtaining clerical data in City Hall
and field personnel in running pumping tests and obtaining field data,
we feel that the above can be accomplished, using hourly rates of our
current contract with the City for $7,700.00 and $3.800.00 for the Water
and Sewerage Study's respectively. 75_seestim_ated figures should be
considered as do -not -exceed amounts. During the course of the work,
should we see that our total costs will exceed the above estimates, we
will obtain Council approval prior to proceding.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,

RE: Water Study, E-113F
Dear George:
Reference is made to my letter to the City Council on October 23,
1978, where I quoted an approximate cost of $7700 for doing a
water study for the city of Clermont. Work through August as shown
In our billing of September 11, 1979, shows we have expended $7330.69.
The work is progressing very well and we expect to have the finished
report in your hands in approximately 15 to 30 days.
During the course of the study we found it necessary to use a larger - - ---'
computer than the one we have in our office to do a complete network
analysis of the water distribution system. We contracted with a firm
which coded, keypunched and worked with us in running 20 different
analyses of the distribution system. These analyses will help in
determining the tank size and it's location as well as new pumping
facilities and location. Computer time and efforts by personnel from
the computer service cost approximately $3750.00.
Prior to working with the computer service selected, we made several
inquires attempting to obtain the most economical service offered and
found services ranging from $7800 to $12,000. Using our personnel and
the service's equipment we were able to obtain valuable information at
a minimum of expense.
I realize that in accordance with our agreement permission for further
services should have been requested from the council beforehand, however,
I felt it imperative to the completeness of the report that we use this
service, and at this time I am requesting your approval to invoice the
city for the computer services.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Ver truly yours,

Reduction in the size of an existing lot to the status of a
non -conforming lot that would have:
1. A zero lot line from 7.5' required.
2. 20.5' rear yard from 25' required.
Mr. Roberts presently lives in a home at 1090 Seminole Street.
He believes that this home is too impractical to remodel, so
he wishes to divide his lot and construct another home fronting
11th Street.
Section 26-12 of the Zoning Ordinance states in part that "no
lot shall be reduced in size so that lob width of yards or lot
area per family or any other requirements of this ordinance
is not maintained."
By dividing this lot, Mr. Roberts present home would not meet the
yard requirements. However, the proposed new home would meet
all the zoning requirements.

for this property. This plan reduces the number of buildings from
four to three, and meets the required front yard and rear yard setbacks,
as well as the parking regulations.
Dr. Weaver believes that since these buildings are rental units, they
should be considered as multiple -family units. Multiple -family units
are allowed in an area of 3,500 square feet per dwelling unit, instead
of 7,500 square feet per unit required of single-family homes. However
this area requirement is based on - - - - - - - - - the fact that multiple -family dwelling units consist of one building, not
several. The building area is not based on whether a property is a rental
unit, but on the type of structure. For instance, condominiums are not
rental units, but they are multiple -family units since they are within
one building.
Dr. Weaver has also questioned whether this development meets the
conditions of a Planned Unit Development. Planned Unit Developments (PUD)
pertain to new subdivisions, or large parcels of land being developed as
a whole. The purpose of PUD's are to allow flexibility through a
unified site design of roads, housing mixes, and densities. Greater
density or housing mixes may be allowed in one area, and given up in
another. PUD's are not designed for properties being developed on a
lot -by -lot basis, as is this Sunnyside Unit property.
The PUD review process is very similar to a Subdivision review, and
requires that the projects relation to major transportation facilities,
public facilities, and surrounding property be carefully reviewed. PUD's
must also be reviewed by the City Planning & Zoning Commission.
Enclosed is a letter from the City Attorney regarding this property,
and he states that a variance could legally be issued for this property
if it were determined that a hardship exists.

RE: VARIANCE REQUEST OF DR. TOM WEAVER
Dear George:
Pursuant to the request of the City Council, I have researched the applicable
ordinances regarding the variance request presented by Dr. Tom Weaver.
The memorandum submitted by the City Manager outlines the problems presented by
Dr. Weaver's request. In my opinion, the only legal problems relate to the
request to place single family units on the parcel. I will limit my discussion to
this problem.
The property is zoned R-3, Residential Professional District, which allows single
family and multiple family units. Section 26-15 of the Code of Ordinances provides
that:
Sec. 26.15: Except as hereinafter provided, only one
principal residential building except for multi -family
dwellings, townhouses and cluster developments, may
hereafter be erected on any lot.
Dr. Weaver owns lots g and 9 which would allow him to place a single family
dwelling on each lot for a total of 2 units. Dr. Weaver's request is for a total
of 4 units which would require a variance in addition to those outlined in the City
Manager's memorandum.
As you know, a hardship must be found prior to the granting of a variance. The
Council may consider the topography of the land, trees', etc., in determining
whether a hardship exists. I can see no legal impediment to the granting of a
variance to the provision which only allows 1 building for each lot, assuming a
sufficient hardship can be shown.
Very truly yours,

111ip?,13r FOR VARIANCE
October 4, 1979
OWNER: Dr, 'rhomns D. Wenvar
A1'p1,11CANT: Dr. Thomas D. Weaver
1'1101111,I(fY: Loth 8 and 9, I lock 5, Sunnysido Un:Lt
LOCAITON: 1,63 Sunnyside Drive
ZONING: R3
REQUEST: Dr. Weaver raqucHLs a variance from the front yard, rear yard, setback, area,
and Other provisions of the zoning ordinance in order to place four single
family dwel.lingH as rental Units on the above property.
Specific variances include:
A. Buildings "A" and "D" have front yard setbacks of 24' and 6', whereas
25' is required.
B. All four buildings require side yard variances. A minimum side yard of
7.5' is required and these buildings have side yards of only 4' to 6'.
C. The zoning ordinance requires front and rear yard setbacks of 25', there-
fore, the distance between the front and rear buildings are not obtainable.
D. The zoning ordinance requires each single family dwelling unit to have an
area of 7,500 square feet. These four units would then require an area
of 30,000 square feet, whereas only 13,700 square feet is available on
these lots.
G. The zoning ordinance requires all buildings to have unrestricted access to
a public street. The rear units would not have any access to the public
street. Also, each dwelling unit is required to have two off-street
parking spaces, not shown on the site plan.
F. If this development is to be considered multiple -family as requested, it
exceeds the maximum allowable lot coverage of 25%. This proposed develop-
ment has a lot coverage of 38.6%.
COMMENTS:
Dr. Weaver believes this variance request is reasonable since a four unit.
apartment could be built on this property. This property is zoned R-3 and a
four -unit apartment unit could be built since apartments require 3,000 square
feet per dwelling unit, or 12,000 square feet of area. However, such an
apartment could only be built if it met all yard setbacks and other zoning
provisions.
If this variance were granted, Dr. Weaver intends to place four prefabricated
Carroll Homes on this property as rental units (see attached materials on
Carroll Homes). Dr. Weaver believes this is a new concept in apartment units,
and that this is a hardship since he does not wish to remove any of the large
trees on this property. However, it should be noted that most four-plex
apartment units take up less room than four single-family homes.
The City previously denied a variance to John Aull in this same area to build
a duplex since he did not have the required yard width of 100' required for
duplexes.
CDHMImv, (Weaver. Variance Request, conthnied)
Dr. Weaver. could :Legally place one duplex, single fatmily home, or one
four -family apartment on this property assuming all yard setbacks would
be met.
'there appears to be some misconceptions in the City of: Clermont regarding
property zoned R3 or R3A Multiple FlImLly. .lust beenunc n property 1s
zoned multiple-fnmil.y does not main you can build apartments on it. Multiple
family zones allow single-family, LWo-family, and multiple -family dwellings.
Ilowover, each type of development is allowed only if you can meet all the
area, frontage, and yard requirements.

George D`�Porbes

The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a

Does not meet set back requirements or sq. ft. for single family units
My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a
hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons:
See attached sheet
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-

Gentlemen:
My appeal- to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates
a hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons: A four -unit apartment
house may be constructed on the property. To build one that preserves all
trees and beauty of this site weaving all around is not only impossible but
would lose trees,- It would cost too much to be practical at a reasonable
rental fee. Since this would limit the use of 7qy property as to number of
units and also destroy the beauty of the area which I am trying to preserve
I am asking for a new concept not covered under existing ordinances. This
concept is that if a four -unit apartm__e�4J}t house under one roof is legal why
can't it be split into pieces and put`ghe same piece of property to
preserve the beauty and save costs. I would suggest as far as the sale
be concerned that any allowed variance contain the requirement that such a
split building be treated as one unit for sale, etc.
I ask the council's indulgence to advise me as to what would make this
general concept acceptable if not acceptable as presented.
Sincerely yours,

Re: Lots 18, 20, Block 107

Dear Mrs, Carroll:
This is to inform you of my strong opposition to the zoning
variance requested for Lots 18 and 20, Block 107, Indian Hills
Subdivision (1090 Seminole Street).
It is my opinion that if approved, this variance would alter
the essential character of the area. Furthermore, because this
general situation regarding rear yard lot lines is neither unique
or exceptional, a precedent for future requests would be established.
Because it appears that the objective of a modern, year-round
home can be achieved within existing zoning laws, I question whether
a handship exists in the truest spirit of Clermont Zoning Laws.

on lot/sus , ti F i v Block Block Q
Subdivision niork,,;, Address 210-220 Highland ,Zone R-7.
Section of Code 9a g,? ( ) (9) (gg medium Density) in the City of Clermont, Florida.
The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a
building permit is:
Duplexes in an R2 zone require a minimum width of lots of
100 feet 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: Use for Duplex -Rental Property
The higest and best use for the R-2 property in question is for
multiple rentals. Total land area would allow 2 duplexes or 4 rental
units, however the front footage is 50' less than 11-2 requires.
Total cost of land precludes the placement of only 1 duplex and
variance is requested in order to justify land cost.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size 81" x 14" minimum size.
1 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

APPLICANT
NAME:_.I1r. 6 mtn, Ira A .r,a
ADDRESS: (,58 jU Avqjjuc _
Gentlemen:
Having 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 ( xx), Construct ( ), Move and Place ( ), a (sign) building
on lot/s 12 South 1/2 of Lot 11 , Block 95
Subdivision City Blocks Address 658 West Avenue ,Zone R3
Section of Code 26-23 (C)(1)(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:
zoning Ordinance R3 Section 26-23 - General Requirements - prescribes 5000 sq. ft.
per two-family, and lot width requires 100 feet width. Lot is 75 in width and lot
area is 9375 sq.ft.
My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a- -
hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons:
House is 30 years old and quite large, too large for a single couple, and was
purchased with the intention to matte alterations for two retiree apartments of
the required 700 feet living area.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size 81j" 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.
