VISI'fORS WITH BUSINESS
Father Fabian Cimeno, Rector of Blessed Sarcamenl Church, appeared before Council to
❑dvise of immediate plans for enclosing Lhe parking lot on the church property which
heretofore has been regularly utilized for softball and little league parking. Ile
advised the enclosure was now a necessity in order to insure adequate parking for the
additional church services and activities which are now being held, but which will
also preclude parking availability for the ball fields. Mayor Smoak recognized the
statement by Father Fabian, but respectfully requested an audience with him on the
following day to discuss the matter further, which was granted.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
City Attorney Baird advised that, following his communication to Council on January 29th
wherein he recommended they proceed with consideration of Mr. Andrew Morris' request for
a Variance based on his examination of the legal description in the warranty deed which
indicated a frontage along Lake Avenue of 100 feel, another survey by Blackburn and
Associates has just been completed which indicates the property to be only 86 feet from
the center of Lake Shore Drive thereby creating a dispute of boundary lines, and in view
of this, Ise recommended that no action be taken by Council until such time as the pur-
ported boundary line dispute has been resolved between the two abutting property owners.
Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Cole, and carried that the
City Attorney's recommendation be accepted and the variance request be tabled pending
the approriate time for re -consideration.
City Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered the request of Mr. Carle
Bishop for a Variance to Article IX -Section 26-61 (FRONT YARD SETBACK FOR DWELLINGS) of
the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct a garage five feet forward of the existing
front building line on his property described as Lot 9 in City Block 86 (749 Chestnut
Street). Mr. Bishop appeared before Council in support of his request advising that
because of the close proximity to the street that his residence was located when it was
constructed 40 years ago, a variance of five feet would be necessary in order to construct
a garage and salvage two large and desirable trees on his property. Mayor Smoak advised
of the following named abutting and/or adjacent property owners who were notified of
the request under consideration: Sara W. Eagle, et al, A&L Investments, Inc., Laura
Dingle, William Clay, Elizabeth Zelazo, James Paris, and inquired if any be present who
desired to address the matter. Mrs. Laura Dingle appeared to advise of no objection.
There being no further comment from anyone present, motion was made by Councilman Honey,
seconded by Councilman Cole and unanimously carried that the request be granted.
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT REQUESTS/ACCOMPANYING RESOLUTIONS
A request by Mrs. Glenda D. Roberson for a Conditional Use Permit to utilize the property
at 635 Highway 50 for an educational child care facility in a C-1 Zoning District was con-
sidered by Council. Mayor Smoak advised of the Planning & Zoning Commission's
recommendation that such request be granted subject,to the following conditions:
1. That a solid fence be erected on the east side of the property -
where it abutts the Charles Dix property;

3. That all applicable regulaLlourl and ordlnancco be met; and,
4. That the line not be expanded except wl.th a Conditional. Uso Permit.
Mrs. Roberson appeared before Council. in support of liar request, laid advLsad that since
consideration of liar request by the P&/. Commission, It had been cNiLcrmined that the
front of the property would not be utilized as playground nor as access to the building
by the children, thurefor.a a fence would not lie Lnutalled In that wren, eliminating the
need for condition number. 2. Mayor Smoak advised of the following named abutting and/or
adjacent property owners who were notified of the request under consideration: Bertha
Floisch, Leonard 11. Baird, Sr., Marvin McCallinter, Samuel 0. Houck, Dixie Oil and Gas
Company, A.R. and Donnic Sewell, Charles N. Dix, lake Abstract & Guaranty Company, Charles
Strebig, and inquired if any be present who desired to address the matter. 'There was no
one present who commented on the matter, whereupon motion was made by Councilman
Schroodel, seconded by Councilman Cole and unanimously carried that the P&Z Commission's
recommendations be accented with an amendment nrnvirlinr. rnr r1n1r 4n ,.r r....1414 .. .,_ o
UIUMI LNU A UUNurr1UNAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW USE OF AN EXISTING BUILDING AS AN EDUCATIONAL

assigned to it.
A request by Mrs. Patricia L. Barnes, dba Sunshine Craft Supply, Inc., for a Conditional
Use Permit to utilize the property at 899 Montrose Street for wholesaling and warehousing
of craft supplies in a C-2 zoning district was considered by Council. Mayor Smoak advised:_
of the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendation that such request be granted subject
to the following conditions:
1. That all applicable regulations and ordinances be met; and,
2. That the use not be expanded except with a Conditional Use Permit.
Mrs. Barnes appeared before Council in support of her request and advised that she had
purchased the property for utilization of a business that involved direct purchasing
of craft supplies from manufacturers, short term storage of the supplies, and then re -sale
to retail outlets. She further advised that shipping would be primarily via UPS, and
that there was adequate driveway space on the property to eliminate on -street loading
and un-loading. Mayor Smoak advised of the following named abutting and/or adjacent
property owners who were notified of the request under consideration: Dal -Don Produce,
Inc., R. P. Seaver, Larry Ogden, Charles B. Roe, J. V. Brice, Ira & Grace Ayers, Roberta
Ashcroft, et al, and inquired if any be present who desired to address the matter. There
was no comment from the floor.
Mayor Smoak advised that he would be in favor of granting the request due to the location
being detached and on the outer perimeter from the basic retail outlets in the down-
town business district, but only if it could be considered on an individual basis and
not be setting a precedent for all M-1 uses to be permitted in a retail business district,
as he felt, for example, large scale warehousing and wholesaling in the downtown business
district would be detrimental to the retail outlets located there. He further opined
that the downtown area could be the nicest small retail business area in Lake County,
and was approaching such apposition at the. present time in that he had observed various
buildings in states of disrepair which had been markedly improved over the past few
months and thereby attracting more people to the area. Inquiry was made of City Attorney
Baird as to City Council being "locked in" to granting additional similar requests should
this one be granted, and he opined that the existing CUP procedure available to Council
provides for consideration on a case by case procedure inasmuch as facts are different
for each individual case, and the granting of this request would not set a legal precedent
for other CUP requests. Motion was thereupon made by Councilman Schroedel seconded by

OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA
APPLICANT
NAME: Cnr.le L. fiishop
ADDRESS: 749 Chestnut Street
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 (x ), Construct ( ), Move and Place ( ), a:x}inxn) building
on lot/s 9 _, Block 86
Subdivision City Blocks , Address 749 Chestnut street ,Zone It 3
Section of Code 26-61 (ordinance No. 178-c____ in the City of Clermont, Florida.
The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a
building permit is:
Garage structure is requested to be five (5) feet forward of existing
front building 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:
For having to remove one, possible two, valuable trees and because of
closeness to city property of existing structure.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size Bij" x 14" minimum size.
I submit that 1 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: 1-24-79
Very truly yours,
Carle L. Bishop
