COMMUNITY APPEARANCE GUIDE
City Manager Forbes presented a proposed "Community Appearance Guide" an prepared
by the Community Appearance Standards Committee of the Planning and Zoning Commilinslon.
Ile advised the purpose of L•Iw Guide 1n to assint the City Council, stnff, and citizens
in malting decisions that will enhance public appearance; That the Guide would be of a
voluntary and informative nature; That :it could be used by city official❑ in order to
determine how ❑ project might affect tin area (i.e. site plan or conditional use permit
reviews); That it would be distributed to citizens when obtaining a building permit,
and; That lie recommended it be adopted. Motion was made by Councilman Schrocdel,
��...t rh n2 the "Community Appearance
distribution.
UTILITY RATE SCHEDULE
City Manager Forbes submitted a proposed utility rate schedule as previously discussed
by Council at their last workshop meeting. lie presented the adjusted rate schedule
as follows:
SANITATION: Increase rates for multiple family dwellings and mobile home
parks to $5.50 per unit; and, That for commercial users, an increase from
$1.15 to $2.00 for each additional garbage can over two. Fees for
residential uses will remain unchanged.
SEWER: Residential - Increase from $6.00 to $6.75. Multiple -family -
$6.25 per unit (The 50C reduction from residential rates is created by
lessened billing procedures for these accounts.) Commercial - classify
these users into one of six categories instead of the current seventeen.
WATER: $.50 per 1,000 gallons remain constant for usage over 3,000
gallons. This would end the current practice of reducing rates to $.40
per 1,000 gallons for usage over 10,000 gallons. Eliminate the $1.00 fee
currently charged for each apartment or mobile home serviced by one meter.
Mayor Smoak reminded Council that even with the proposed rate increases, the sewer
department will still be operating at a deficit which will have to be subsidized;
That utility rates have not been increased in three years; and, That he felt the
proposed increases were necessary and would hope that the proposed ordinance
pertaining to these increases would be introduced at the proper time.
Councilman Schroedel questioned charging laundries and car washes sewer rates equal
to only 75% of water usage, in that these uses generate higher levels of phosphorus,
which is costly to remove from the City's system. It was requested that the City
Manager investigate the types of detergent's used in conjunction with these
establishments, and that lie review the County's present ordinance regarding these
uses to determine if all requirements are being met.

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 lot/s_ 22 _ Block ` 9
Sunnyside Unit
Subdivision_ Clermont Heights , Address - - - ,Zone G3
Section of Code 26-23 (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 26-23 (C)(2) prescribes 100' frontage for duplex housing.
Lot frontage is 70 feet.
My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a- -
hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons:
The present area is constructed of all duplexes - both
North -South -Gast directions.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size 8V 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.

The building we intend to construct will be our
principal residence. The upstairs, which will be
our home, will have 960 sq. ft. .living area. The
downstairs rental unit will have 576 sq. ft. living
area, plus two one -car. garages.
We are interested in building a nice home for
ourselves while also providing a rental unit possibly
for a retired couple. The building will give the
appearance of being a single-family dwelling designed
to meet the topography of the land. it will be sOL on
the lot in such a way as to preserve several large oak
trees.
We feel that this building will in no way detract from
the neighborhood and that it will in fact, enhance
the community.

TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Community Appearance Guide
DATE: July 20, 1979
The Community Appearance Standards Committee of the Planning and Zoning Commission
has prepared a Community Appearance Guide for City Council action.
The purpose of this Guide is to assist the City Manager, City Council, P&Z, and
Clermont citizens in malting decisions that will. enhance public appearance. This
Guide covers such topics as relationship of buildings to site, landscaping, building
design, signs, maintenance, and a community appearance checklist.
This Guide would be of a voluntary and informative nature, but could be used by
the City Manager and Council for site plan or conditional use permit reviews, in order
to determine how a project might effect an area.
It is the intent of the P&Z that this Guide be adopted by motion as the 'Official
City Appearance Guide", and that it then be printed professionally, just as the Green-
scape Guide. We could then distribute this Guide with building permits.
This Guide is based on alot of hard work by P&Z members, and I recommend that it be
_. _. adopted. __...

George D. Forbes

SUBJECT: Comprehensive Employment 'Draining Act
IME: July 20, 1979
Enclosed is a copy of the stnndard agreement from Lake County for Comprehensive
Employment Training Act employees. As you mny recall, the City in required to
sign such as agreement each year..
Presently, the City has three CETA positions, which include a Planning ❑nd Zoning
Technician, Service Worker I, and Service Worker II. While there has been much
publicity regarding this program in recent months, the City of Clermont has not
had any problems with this program. I believe this is because we keep the program
small; hire only those employees who truly wish to learn Job skills; and quickly
terminate employees that will not work.
I have reviewed this agreement and recommend that it be adopted.
Sincerely,
George D. Forbes

APPEARANCE GUIDE
FOR THE
CITY OF CLERMONT
PHILOSOPHY, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES
j A pleasing and attractive community in the renult of n variety of harmonious
relationnhips between mail and the environment. The neatheti.cs of a community has
it direct hearing oil its economic value. When the appearmtce of public areas,
business establishments, and the residential community is good, then shoppers,
business people, homeowners, and developers are III]. attracted to the community.
Poor appearance, congestion, and lack of proper maintenance bring about decay,
i
apathy, decreased property values, and ,loss of revenue. Thus, in establishing the
APPEA1WCL GUIDE FOR THE CCCY UP CLERMONT, our community is recognizing the need
to enhance its distinctive man-made characteristics, as well as the need to pro-
tect and maintain the inherent beauty which surrounds its,
The purpose of the Guide is to establish criteria which affect the physical
appearance of the City of Clermont. These criteria apply to residential as well
as commercial or industrial areas. Pertinent to the City's appearance is the
design of site, buildings, landscaping, signs, and any structures which are observable
by the public. These criteria are not intended to restrict imagination, innovation,
or variety; but rather to focus on design principles which can assist citizens, the
City Council, and the Planning and 'Zoning Commission in making decisions which will
contribute towards the ultimate enhancement of our total community appearance and
Lmage.
'these guidelines were formulated to encourage both public and private partici-
pation in the enhancement of community appearance; and will serve to prevent any
deterioration of Clermont's visual character and protect the health and welfare of
all citizens. The guidelines reflect the intent of our ordinances, and are con-
sistent with the implementation of the elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Cooperation on the part of homeowners, businesses, developers, realtors, and
ii
the City will insure that Clermont grows in beauty and livability!

citable landscaping in parkways or paved areas should be encouraged.
