Mr. Morris was present to advise Council that a survey of his property was made after he had filed the variance request which reflected ample room for his proposed construction without benefit of variance. Mr. Ray Cochran, representing William W. Boyd, abutting property owner to the north of Mr. Morris, appeared before Council to advise of a 14 foot difference in the recent survey as reported by Mr. Morris than the original survey and deed to his property, and he would thereby suggest that the matter be referred to the City Attorney for investigation in order to determine whether or not a variance is necessary. Mr. Morris, unaware of questionable deeded lot dimensions, concurred that the matter should be resolved before any action is taken, whereupon motion was made by Mayor Smoak seconded by Councilman Honey and carried that LAKE COUNTY POLICE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION Acting City Manager Sanchez advised of the recent re-election of Chief of Police Tyndal as President of the Lake County Police Chiefs Association.

CITY CODE INTERPRETATION Mr. Dan Judy, owner of abutting lots 1, 3, 5, & 7, in Block 112 of Sunset Park Subdivision,: appeared before Council to question an interpretation of Sections 25-3 and 25-7 of the City Code wherein he was required to maintain two separate water services for his plumbing business located on two of the lots, and a mini -warehouse on the remaining two lots, though there are no plumbing facilities existing nor needed for the mini -warehouse inasmuch as it is strictly used for rental storage. He further advised of like business complexes in the City that were not required to maintain separate services for each building, and in view of this and the second meter never having been turned on, he had refused to pay the monthly water, sanitation, and sewer charges as billed him; resulting in the City severing the service to his residence. It was the consensus of Council, and the City Attorney, the Acting City Manager and the Code Enforcement Official were there- upon requested, to determine a set policy, one of uniformity for all like businesses in the City, in interpreting the sections of the code in question, and to advise Mr. Judy in writing of their determination. Motion was then made by Councilman honey, seconded residence pending a final determination in the matter. Councilman Honey advised of reported inequities of other code requirements that were enforced when Mr. Judy made application for the mini-warehous building permit, that were reportedly not enforced for like applications in like zoning areas. Mayor Smoak thereupon requested that Mr. Judy submit the purported inequities, as he had alluded to Councilman Honey, in writing and closely documented as possible, for perusal by City Staff. There being no further business to be brought before Council at this time, the meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smoak at 8:20 P.M. CLAUDE El. SMOAK, JR., - Mayor DOLORES W.

CARROLL City Clerk DWC:js Attachment(s) P(.fMF PRINT_OR TYPE TO THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUS•t OF THE CITY OF CLERMONT, FLORIDA APPLICANT NAME: LI:cG'S CAR WASH ADDRESS: 1302 MillhoJland 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 ( ), Construct (x ), Move and Place ( ), a (Xfti) building on lot/s 314 Block -------- Subdivision_ Clermont Heights , Address 1302 Millholland ,Zone C2 Section of Code section 26-25 (H)(13) Y in the City of Clermont, Florida. The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a building permit is: Five (5) parking spaces required for each two (2) stalls. If allowed to compute the stalls that are in use, this Code would be permitted. - - My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons: Fifteen parking spaces are provided if allowed to include the five (5) bay stalls while cars are being washed. Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor- mation are attached hereto, on paper size B;" 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: 1-12-79 Very truly yours, THOMAS G.
