VISITORS WITH BUSINESS
Mr. Jimmy Lee Jackson appeared before Council at the request of Mrs. Esther Lou Dority 1
to seek assistance in the rezoning of property on East Montrose Street in order to re-
retablish her business, the Kozy Kastle, and to seek the cooperation of Council in
relieving the no parking restrictions on East Montrose Street, which are having an effect on his business establishment, and which in his opinion, were not caused by
patrons of his establishment but by the loading/unloading of school buses and citrus
crew buses.
With regards rezoning Mr. Jackson was requested to advise Mrs. Dority to contact City
Manager 'Tiffany to obtain the necessary forms and procedures to follow for rezoning requests. ,
With regards parking on East Montrose Street-, City Manager Tiffany advised that numerous
complaints had been received from property owners in the area concerning their inability
to obtain access to their properties due to the traffic congestion on the street during
several hours of the day, and that it concerned the City because ambulance and fire
equipment could not quickly penetrate the area if the need were to arise.
Following considerable discussion of problems created and solutions for same, it was
the suggestion of Mayor Byrd that City Manager Tiffany, Chief Tyndal, and Councilman Cole
study the problems and possible solutions for report back to Council.
Mr. John Sokol appeared before the Council to seek clarification of an ordinance providing.
for straw ballots and initiatives wherein a petition can be made to make Council action
mandatory, and to seek written procedures to follow for the initiation of the petition.
It was the opinion of Mr. Sokol that the Ordinance provides no explaination for these
types of petitions. It was the consensus of the Council that any citizen can petition a
change in the City Charter, the framework of the City, and that it would be binding on

missioners unanimously recommended that the sidewalk master plan be officially "adopted,
funded, and implemented"; That there is approximately $500 remaining in the current budget,-.

APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM CLTY MANAGER
DOT MAINTENANCE AGREGMGN1' AND RESOLUTION
Mayor Byrd presented a Department of Transportation Maintenance Agreement and Resolution
for the proposed flashing beacon at the SR50/SR561 intersection. Motion was made by
Councilman Smoak seconded by Councilman honey and carried to decline approval_of the
maintenance agreement and resolution at this time and requested that further traffic
surveys of the intersection be made during the most heavily trafficked months of the
ear, January through march; That the Council be furnished with results of counts so far
made and with the criteria used to determine warrants for full signalization of this
intersection. It was the consensus of Council that the present elevation of the inter-
section causes much local traffic to avoid crossing SR50 at SR561, and after elevation is
corrected during construction, a significant increase in traffic using this route is
expected, thus warranting full signalization.
LITTERING
It was the recommendation of Councilman Smoak and Council was in agreement that the City
Attorney investigate and report the city's ordinance concerning littering and the
authorities given to the Police Department for enforcement of the ordinance.
SR50 - TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND SPEED LIMITS
It was the recommendation of Councilman Smoak and Council was in agreement that the City
Manager investigate and communicate with the DOT to synchronize the traffic control lights
-
on SR50. City Manager Tiffany reported that the signals had not yet been accepted by the
State and that there now exists a differential in speed limits through the City. It was
further recommended that the City Manager communicate with DOT to consider a uniform speed
of 40 MPH through Clermont.
ZONING PROPOSALS
City Manager Tiffany presented the following memos to Council as a status report on the
Planning and Zoning Commission's work: (1) Rezoning Proposals", (2) "Proposed Zoning
Amendment Changes" and (3) "Criteria for Rezonings", and advised that the "Proposed
Zoning Amendment Changes" were submitted as a unanimous Commission recommendation after
many months of study.
P&Z Chairman Ray appeared before the Council and explained a map showing 30 key areas that
are proposed for rezoning consideration and reasoning behind these proposals. She further
reported that recommendations made on the map are not based on the current zoning regu-
lations, but are based instead on the "Proposed Zoning Amendment Changes" draft.
Following presentation and discussion, Mayor Byrd called a joint City Council/Planning
and Zoning Commission work session to be held following the regular P&Z meeting to be held
Tuesday, January 2, 1979 at 7:30 P.M. in the Council Chambers in order to further discuss
the proposed zoning ordinance changes.

SUBJC•CT: City Entrance Landscaping
DATE: December 7, 1978
Several months ago, Landscape Architect Joe Knight prepared the attached
landscape and sign plan for the major City entrances on Highways 50 and 27, The
plan uses a variety of low maintenance plantings arranged around a "natural" wood
welcome sign about 4' x 6'.
This landscaping -signing treatment would take the place of our large
painted entrance signs which are in need of replacement. They would be placed at
the point on each road where the first view of the City is evident, not necessarily
at the city limits.
We would install the US27 north and south and SR50 east entrances first, this
year, followed by SR50 west when highway construction is complete.
The plan was developed as part of the P&Z Community Appearance Standards
Committee's work and has the unanimous endorsement of the Planning and Zoning Com-
mission.
We propose to use signs similar to those recently installed at the City
Hall for $335 each. Landscaping would cost about $200 per location, plus labor
_ and upkeep.

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 I(r1Q)M building
on lot/s_17� 19 Block 108
Subdivision Indian 1il].'ls , Address Chestnut & Plevonth Stroet ,Zone
26-21 (E) (2) (3) Section of Code 76-10 (11) (7) in the City of Clermont, Florida,
The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a
building permit is:
Penetration of side yard of six inches (6"). Penetration of rear yard
eighteen feet (18'). Also accessory buildings not not permitted prior
to the principal building.
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 building, materin]s that I h,.ve purchased cannot be stor od in a
smaller building and since I will he commuting, while building my,
y residence I must have a safe place that can be locked and seclzred.
Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans, and other pertinent infor-
mation are attached hereto, on paper size 8z" 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: November 27, 1978

SUBJECT: Sidewalk Master Plan
DATE: December 7, 1978
Attached is a copy of the recommendations of the PR Safety Committee
regarding Sidewalks as submitted to the City Council on December 20, 1977, At the
time that this report was discussed, the Council authorized construction of the
highest priority sidewalk (DeSoto from East to School Street) and requested that
costs be reported. These figures were reported to you in my October 6 Weekly Memo
as $7.93 per foot ($2.06 materials and $5.87 labor).
At their December meeting, the Commissioners unanimously recoimnended to
the Council that the "sidewalk master plan" be officially "adopted, funded, and
implemented".
There is about $500 remaining in our current sidewalk construction
appropriation. To construct the next priority segment, Bloxam from SR50 to High-
land, would require Council authority to spend about $1,000 additional.
Other recommendations in the "master plan" include adoption of an ordinance,
study of funding options for sidewalk construction, and requesting the School Board to
construct sidewalks around school property.

SUBJECT: Zoning Proposals
DATE: December 8, 1978
Enclosed is material discussed at the December 6 Planningg & Zoning Commission
meeting which is being sent to you at the Cononission's request: (11 a December 6 memo
on "Rezoning Proposals"; (2) a November 30 memo on "Rezoning Criteria and Proposals";
and (3) an October 26 draft of "Proposed Zoning Amendment Changes". The first two
items are sent to you as a status report on the Commission's zoning review work. The
"Proposed Zoning Amendment Changes" are sent as a unanimous Commission recommendation
after many months of study.
The Commission's work is the first general review of Clermont's zoning reg-
ulations and districts in over a decade, and include significant zoning policy changes.
Highlights of these recommendations follow:
(1) The C1 district would be changed from "neighborhood commercial" to "light
commercial", with an expanded list of permitted and conditional uses. The size of
permitted uses would be regulated by making any permitted use requiring 12 or more off-
street parking spaces (under zoning regulations) a conditional use. All business
activities would be limited to indoors. Dwelling units for 3 or more families would be
conditional uses:
(2) C2 regulations are changed to update the list of permitted and. conditional
uses, to clarify the boundaries of the CBD 100% lot coverage area, and to clarify other
regulations;
(3) An entirely new CH - Highway Commercial District is proposed (see
"Purpose" under CH in the draft), and;
(4) M1 and M2 permitted and conditional uses are expanded and clarified.
Note that the proposed zoning map changes are based on these revised district
regulations, not on our current regulations. If this proposal is not adopted or is
substantially changed, the changes proposed on the map would have to be redone.

SUBJECT; Rezoning Proposals
DATE: December 6, 1978
Attached is a map showing 29 key arras that are proposed for rezoning con-
sideration. These recommendations are, the result of considerable study related to
our long range planning effort. This is the first effort at an overall, compre-
hensive examination of our zoning districts in over ten years.
Current City zoning is based substantially on the 1967 Adley plan for the
City. Many changes have been made since then, including a few that were speculative,
and many more that were constructive. However, it is necessary, particularly in a
growing City, to periodically review all zoning.
Reconmrendations made here are not based on our current regulations, but
are based instead on the October 5, 1978 proposed draft of regulations for commercial
and industrial districts.
A few general observations:
(A) These proposals follow the goals, objectives, standards, and principles
of the future land use element of our proposed Comprehensive Plan, and are a key
implementation step for, that planning effort.
(B) There is more commercially -zoned land in the City than is needed. By
limiting commercially zoned land, commercial development is forced into the most
suitable areas.
(C) US27 is an important economic resource for the City which is being
promoted as the best route to Disneyworld. Allowing general commercial development
along the road would lead to reduction of the carrying capacity of the highway, un-
sightliness, and lost opportunity to properly exploit the highway's economic potential.
The he
Cmmercial
THEewould HIGHWAY, butrve nottthoseghway as an uses which AREnomic SERVEDresource, By THE HIGHWAY.
(D) The transition zones were set up on June 13, 1969. Fifteen years after
that date (1984), these areas become R3 zones. Transition zoning was intended to
gradually phase out non-residential uses. However, such uses were allowed to expand
in the transition period, and several have done so. The zoning was based on the 1967
Adley plan that forsaw great Disney impact on the City. West Lake was to become a
boat basin, connected to Lake Minnehaha, to be surrounded by a recreation center,
motels, and apartments. The West Lake area was to serve as a "magnet" to attract
shoppers downtown, and facilitate an ambitious downtown area redevelopment. This
vision is not realistic for this area now, ten years later.
(E) The R3A zoning classification was created after the last general city-
wide rezoning to allow high density residential without professional offices or
commercial signs. Areas zoned R3 then were apparently not examined to see which ones
should have been reclassified R3A upon creation of this zoning alternative.
The following lists areas to be considered for rezoning with a brief explain-
ation of the reasons for each recommendation:
j
hrcnn Transition Nkn 1_ to.M2
Lots 1-10, Block 117; Lots 1-10, Bleek 111,; Lola 1-9 and 18-83, Block 119, Lots 1-13,
Block 1,10, and that property Gast of Lake Allnncola and boundoel by Streets - Lake chore
and 12th, in Johnaon's NoPlat. 17jet prnPcrtl/ tU'i,ng went oj' Wost Lake and botutded by
Streets - Atinnaola, 11th, and Carroll.
This area includes the majority of Transition Zone 1, now mainly developed as M-2. The
change recognizes that the 1967 Adley plan for the area is not feasible, and makes
existing uses conforming. This area is important to the economy of the City as M-2.
There is no appropriate place for these uses to relocate within the City.
1. From Transition Zone 1 to C1
Block 118; Lots 10-15, Block 119; Lott) 19-,,'0, Block 1?,0, Johnt)en'a Rcplat
This change would create a light commercial zone to separate the residential area across
Minneola and future City park area, across 12th Street, from M-2 uses. (Alternate is
C-2 zoning.)
S, From Transition Zone 2 to M1
That property lying north of West Lake and Osceola Street, and south of Lake Ah;nncola.
This area is the present Transition Zone 2, with existing light industrial uses predomi-
nating. The proposed change would make existing uses conforming. (See also comments
under Pl above.)
y, From Transition Zone 2 to R3
Lots 1-6, Block 94; Lots 940, Black 83; Cite Blocks; and that property between Lake
Minneola mid Osceola Street.
Existing uses in this area are mixed with residential predominate. Proposal would allow
continuation of most existing uses while encouraging high -density residential for future
development.
5. From R3 to C2 (CBD)
Lots 1-8, Block 93; Lots 13-20, Block 79, Citl1 Blocks
This area would extend the Central Business District to all sides of the 8th and Minneola
intersection, and make existing uses there conforming. This area is part of the tradi-
tional City business area. (Alternate is for north 1/2 of this area to remain R-3)
5A. From C2 to R3
Lots 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, Block 77
Predominate uses on this block are now residential. The half -block would use rear lot
lines as zoning boundaries to reduce zoning conflict across street where single-family
homes exist. Bank building parking would continue as a conforming use.
2 _
6, I'r'om R3 to RM
9'hat proporty known as LlnoiecZd Iktkos.
This change would prohibit professional offices and commercial type signing in the
mobile honk park, and would eliminate the small area of general commercial zoning in the
northeast corner of the park.
7, from C2 to C1
Part of BZook 125A lying south of Highway ho; Wool, 110 Hying north and nouth of
11wy. 50; Block 98; Blook 100; BZook 8.1
This change would regulate commercial uses in this area to reduce conflicts with nearby
residences. Note that the proposed C-1 regulations are more liberal in their permitted
uses than our current C-1 district. (Alternate is continued C-2 zoning.)
$, From R3 to 113A
Block 87, Blocks 88, 86, 71, and 70, City Blocks
This change would prohibit professional offices and commercial signs in the area, but
would allow residential development, including multiple -family.
i
9, From R3 to R1A
1
Lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 6linona Bay Subdivision
This proposal eliminates an isolated R-3 area. Area has developed primarily as R1A.
(Alternate is R-2 to keep duplexes conforming.)
10. from C1 to R3
City Blocks 73, 72; Lots 1-6, 10-13, Block 60; Lots 1-8, Lots 12-18, Block 61, Lots 1, 2,
7-14, 16, 18, 20, Block 44; Lots 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, Block 45; Lots 1-7, Block 27;
Block 28; Block 17; Lots 1-7, 16-18, Block 8, Ella Vista Heights; Lots 15-20, Block 18;
and Lots 1-3, 7-13, Block 7
This proposed change would eliminate undesirable strip commercial zoning through the heart
of the City on SR50. Strip commercial development would increase traffic problems, and
would be unsightly. The area is primarily residential now despite many years of C-1
zoning. Slopes on some properties (on north side of road) make commercial use unrealis-
tic. R3 zoning would allow professional offices and high density residential mixed uses,
and would make the majority of current uses conforming.
11, From C2 to R3
Lots 1-14, Block 18
This proposal would eliminate a continued area of strip commercial. The property slopes
toward preservable Lake.
3
j
12. From C2 to C1
Lots 14-20, Block 7
This change would continue this area as commercial (under liberalized permitted use
list), but would reduce conflicts with residential uses. Commercial development on
other corners of this school crossing intersection is discouraged.
13, From R2 to R3A
Lots 1, 2, 3, Highland '1'erracca
This farily large undeveloped corner property has good access to signalized SR50 inter-
section, and would be an appropriate location for high density residential, but without
professional offices or commercial -type signing.
14. From R3A to R1
Lots 3, 4, 5, Block 20, Block 10; plus closed street
This area is adjacent to a preservable lake. It has inadequate access to the major road
system for high -density residential. Adjacent neighborhood (to north) is high-grade
residential.
15 , From R3 to R3A
Blocks 5, 4, 7, 8, 0, Sunnyside; Lots 1-15, Block 3, Sunnyoide; Lots 7, 8, 8,10, Block 2,
Swnayside
This area is developing as high-grade multiple family -duplex -triplex area. The change
would prohibit encroachment of professional offices and commercial signs in the district,_
but would reinforce the current development trend.
16. From R2 to R3A
City Block 8; Block R
This area has good access to SR50. The undeveloped lots could be developed for high -
density residential. Alternate would be to leave the area R2 to allow duplex development .`
or to rezone it R3 to allow multiple family and professional offices.
17, From R3 to R3A
Blocks 5, 8, Woodlazon
This change would prohibit professional offices and commercial signs, but continue to
allow high density residential.
la, From R1 to R3A
Tracts 2, 3, Oakhurst
This undeveloped area has good access to the major road system, and is adjacent (on
south side) to C-2 area. It is a good area for high -density residential development.
4
19, From R1 to R2
Block 0, WoodZawn; 11inecrost Subdi:vivion
This change would allow smaller dwellings (900 sq. ft. single family homes and 700 sq. ft.
per family duplexes) in area where there is an apparent need for small living units.
Exisiting development would continue as conforming.
20, From R2 to R1
Oakview Subdivision; Sunnydel"l llanur; Bast 1/2 of Lot: 14, and 6' .1/2 oJ' Lot 15, Block DD
The majority of this area has developed along R1 regulations to be consistent with deed
restrictions. This change would not affect the mobile home park's non -conforming status,
but would reinforce the existing single family development. The area is bounded on the
west by R1A and on the south by R1.
21, From R3A to R1
That property south of Lake Minnehaha Chain of Lakes; That property north of the City
limits and adjoining Lakeview Hills Subdivision
22, From C2 to R1
That property from Lot 13, Chain of Lakes south to the south city Limits, west to
adjoining Lakeview Hills Subdivision
These changes would extend single family district regulations north and south of Phase 1
of the Lakeview Hills Subdivision project. Alternate zoning would be to leave existing
R3A on the south side of property to accomodate condominium or other high density
development.
23, From C2 to CH
That property from the south city limits north to !look Street parallel along the west
side of Hwy 27; That property east of Hwy. 27 from Hook Street to south city limits to
east city limits to south line of Lake Wilma; That property bounded by Minneola, west
side of Hwy 27 and Oakview, SunnydelZ Manor Subdivisions; That property bounded by 16uy.50
east side of Hwy. 27, Highland Avenue, and Lakeview Heights Subdivision; Tracts 63, 50B,
50A, Lake Highlands; Lots 1-6, Block 1; Lots 1-4, 35, 36, 37, Block 2, Homedale; Strip
of land in Lake Highlands lying north of BeSoto Street, west of Hwy. 27 and south of
Pitt Street,, Tenets 1, 2, 15, 16, 63, 50, 51, 62, of Lake Highlands; Lots 1, 2, 3, 4,
of Block 6.
This change implements the proposed new "Highway Commercial" zoning district. Its purpose
is to serve the needs of highway traffic while minimizing adverse effects of development
on US27. The proposal treats US27 as an important economic resource for the City that
should be protected. Alternate is to leave area southeast of US27-SR50 as C-2.
5
24. From R3 tk R3A
Trnotu 52, 01, hake Highlanda
This change would allow multiple -family developments while prohibiting professional
offices and commercial signs, adjacent to good R-1 area.
25. From R3A to R1
Portion of Lot 5, Lots 6, 7, 9, Block 1'
This undeveloped area would be changed to conform to the majority of undeveloped land
in the northeast area of the City. Alternate zoning would be R3A as now zoned.
26, From Transition Zone 3 to R3A
Block 15, Block 12
Transition Zone 3 would be rezoned to allow future redevelopment as high -density resi-
dential, excluding professional offices and commercial signs. This property is adjacent
to residential development and City park property, and appears to have considerable
value under R3A regulations. Alternate is to consider purchase by the City for park
and recreation use.
27, From C1 to R3
Lots 14-19, Block 2, llomedaZe; S.E. corner of the S.G. 114 of Lot 6, Black N
This change would eliminate a small, unused commercial district in an area of residential:
uses. It is across the street from the Junior High School.
28, From R2 to R3
Lots 244-250, 112 of 251, 275, 292, 315, Clermont Heights
This half -block would be appropriate for future use as professional offices in existing
buildings as a transition from C2 to residential. A professional office is now being
constructed on the block with others in the area.
29, From C2 to R3
Tracts 17, 18, 31, 32, 33, 34, 48, 49A, 49B, Portion of Tract 64, Lake Highlands
This large tract would be changed to high density residential to extend the development
pattern established by the Grandview Apartments. Most of the property would logically
be served from Grand Highway and Pitt Street, not from US27, because of slope. It is
part of the drainage area for sensitive Jack's Lake and Lake Charles, direct connections
to the aquifer.

FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Rezoning Criteria and Proposal
DATE: November 30, 19711
Attached is a list of property that is recommended for rezoning consideration.
This list was prepared as an implementation step for our Comprehensive Plan.
The following is a list of 16 items that should be considered when any land
is proposed for rezoning:
1. Whether the proposed change is contrary to the established land use
pattern,
2. Whether the proposed change would create an isolated district unrelated to
adjacent and nearby districts;
3. Whether the proposed change would materially alter the population density
pattern and thereby increase or overtax the load on public facilities
such as schools, utilities, streets, etc.;
4. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation
to existing conditions on the property proposed for change;
5. Whether the proposed change would be contrary to the Proposed Land Use
Plan and would have an adverse effect on the Comprehensive_ Plan:
6. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed
amendment necessary;
7. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions
in the neighborhood;
B. Whether the proposed change will create or excessively increase traffic
congestion or otherwise affect public safety;
9. Whether the proposed change will create a drainage problem;
10. Whether the proposed change will seriously reduce light and air to
adjacent areas;
11. Whether the proposed change will adversely affect property values in the
adjacent areas;
12. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or
development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations;
13. Whether the proposed change will constitute a grant of special priveleges
to an individual owner as contrasted with the public welfare;
14. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used
in accord with existing zoning;
15. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the
neighborhood or the City;
16. Whether 1t is possible to find other adequate sites in the City for
the proposed use in districts already permitting such use.
Zoning district changes should always be considered in light of the worst
permitted use in the proposed district. Maximum density development should be con-
sidered, not only the specific plan for the use of the property.
