❑ Variance to Section 26-25(13)(13) (C2 GENERAL COMMERCIAL DIS'TRIC'T - PERMITTED USES -
REQUIRED PARKING SPACES) of the Zoning Ordinance that would permit him to construct a
Car Wash on Lot 314 in Clermont: heights Subdivision (1302 Millholland Street) with a
reduced number of parking spaces than the Code requirement of 5 parking spaces for each
Lwo stalls. Mr. Legg submitted a site plan for Council's perusal, and advised that 15
parking spaces would be provided if allowed to include 5 bay stalls while cars are
being washed, which he felt would be ample for his proposed operation. Inquiry was
made from the Chair as to comment from the floor regarding the matter, and there being
none, Mayor Smoak advised that one of the proposed Code changes now under consideration
- is to reduce the required number of parking spaces which if acted upon favorably, would rl

Morris for a Variance to Section 26-20 (E)(2) (R1A URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT - SIDE YARD
SETBACKS) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct a carport on his property described
as the NW corner lot at the intersection of Lake Avenue and Lake Shore Drive in Herring
Hooks Estate Subdivision (610 Lake Shore Drive) that would penetrate five feet into the
required nine foot side yard setback. 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

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.

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,
