PUBLIC HEARINGS Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered a request by William L. Faulkner for a Variance to Section 26-21 (E)(3) R-1 URBAN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT -REAR YARD SETBACKS of the Zoning Ordinance in order to extend and then enclose an existing patio on his property described as: Lot 18, Block B Edgewood Place Subdivision (220 Edgewood) which would necessitate a penetration of three feet into the required 25' rear yard setback. Mr. Faulkner appeared before Council in support of his request, advising ----" that to screen in the existing 6' patio, the area would be too small toaccomodate--""":� standard patio furniture. Messrs. Leitch and Rausch, abutting property owners of Mr. Faulkner, appeared before Council in support of the request, and there was no one present who voiced objection to it. Motion was thereupon made by Councilman Schroedel, seconded by Councilman Cole and carried that the request be granted Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered a request by Richard R. Reynolds,. Trustee for a Variance to Section 26-25 (E)(1) GENERAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT -SETBACKS ADJACENT TO SR50 of the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct a building on the pro- perty described as: - 701-760 East Highway 50 Winn Dixie Plaza Shopping Center.- .that would penetrate 20 feet into the required setback requirement adjacent to State Road 50. Mr. Reynolds appeared before Council in support of his request advising that strict adherence to the required setback would cause them a loss of 6-8 parking spaces and create a traffic flow problem as the building would be located in the ? middle of a parking row. It was brought to Council's attention that the existing eastern entrance to the shopping center that is now adjacent to the proposed location of the construction would be closed and a new entrance constructed that would be west of the proposed construction location which could conceiveably create a safety ingress/ f. egress problem should there be traffic tied up at the proposed Foto Hut. �I Due to the ample space available for construction of the building within the required t' setback, and in the interest of safety and reserving the integrity of setbacks along the state road, motion was made by Councilman Byrd seconded by Councilman Schroedel :and carried that the request be denied. Councilman Honey voted in the negative on :passage of the motion. + Council, sitting as a Board of Adjustment, considered a request by Mrs. F. N. Edington i ,.for a.:Variance to Chapter V, Article II, Section 5-15 (RESTRICTIONS ON ERECTION OF I'ENCES) of the Clermont Code in order to erect a fence on her property described as: Ni S!� of Lot 92, All of Lots 93 and 94, Nil of Lot 95 Hillcrest Subdivision S 2ri� (730 Drew Avenue) f( CITY OF CUMONT MINUTES that would cxccud the hulf;ht requlremento for fancas In front yards by one foot. Mrs. Edington appeared before Counc:l.l. In support of her ragncst, advising that due to the nature of her elnploymenC with the Federal Narcotles Iluronu necefill LtoLia g at times that she have certain court evidence Lo her home, fill possible security precautions were very necessary, and she thereby donlred to install a ChaLn link fence of five feet in height on fill perLinetcr lines around her property for personal. security. Messrs. White and McMurry, nbutting property owners, appeared borers Council In opposition to the request, opining that on extension of only one foot to the existing allowable height of four feet would not provide that much additional security, and they therefore felt that the existing; code requirements should be upheld. Mrs.Edington opined that such an extension would not provide secure proof, but would be more of: It detriment for illegal entry to her property than a four foot fence. Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, "208" PLANNING PROGRAM Mr. Aaron Dowling, "208" Project Director of the East Central Florida Regional Planning Council, appeared before Council with a slide presentation of the 208 Water Quality Management Plan, now in its final stages, and to solicit the City's acknowledgement of "208" Management Agency responsibilities and intent to proceed in the implementation of the "208" planning program. Mr. William Dailey, the City's representative on the Planning Council, strongly urged that Council accept designation as a management agency, and that Council avail themselves of the written synopsis of the proposed plan for more indepth information. Mr.Dowling submitted a draft Resolution and list of specific recommendations, as submitted by the "208" planning Staff for Council's con- sideration, wherein the estimated funding costs were designated to be provided by assuming 75% funding, and 25% local costs. Mayor Smoak thereupon inquired if this meant the City would be liable for participation 1n 25% of the local costs for whatever__.. _ programs are developed by the Regional Planning Council. Mr. Dowling advised that this was a mis-wording as the intent for the 25Z of the funding would be provided by the State inasmuch as the planning programs would include many areas outside municipal boundaries and even in other counties, and he would be glad to work with the adminis- trative staff in revising the language for resubmission to Council. TAX EXEMPT PROPERTIES City Attorney Baird inquired of Council's desire to appeal the recent finding of the Lake County Tax Assessor wherein tax exemption status was denied on the city owned Jenkins Auditorium because of its partial occupancy by the Chamber of Commerce. Motion was made by Mayor Smoak seconded by Councilman Schroede_1 and carried that the City Manager and City Attorney further investigate the matter, and if in their opinion they feel an appeal should be instigated that such pursuit be authorized. FLORIDA LEAGUE OF CITIES BOARD MEETING Mayor Smoak reported on his recent attendance of a joint Florida League of Cities Board meeting and Legislative Committee in Tallahassee wherein a review was made of pending legislation as would affect local government; that the primary area of concern has been the proposed removal of the growth factor in ad valorem taxes; and, that the members had spent a portion of the day lobbying in the Capitol with local delegations regarding the matter. USER PEES FOR CITY RECREATIONAL FACILITIES - The feasibility of assessing user fees to out of city adult leagues using the city owned recreational facilities inasmuch as adult programs have expanded and there is an increasing demand for use of the facilities by local residents, was discussed at length. Following inquiry from City Manager Tiffany as to complaints received regarding inability to use the facilities by local residents, and lie advised they had been very minimal, it was the consensus that no action be taken at this time. CITY OF CLPMfONT MINUTES BOND REFUNDING City Manager Tiffany advised of remaining; arean In the proposed bond ordinance and resolution to be resolved; That he +md Mr. Sanchez were still meeting with officials of Southeastern Munlcipal Bands, hie, regarding the matter; and, That he would recommend the matter be placed on the next regular meeting agenda unless it became necessary that a special meeting be called prior to that date beeinUBC of 11 time deadline unforseen at present. AUDITING AGREEMENT Mr. John Greenlee of Greenlee, Paul, Furnas, and Kurras, Certified Public Accountants, appeared before Council to advise them of hourly rate specifics which had been deleted from their proposed auditing agreement submitted for Council's consideration; That they had been deleted from this year's proposal inasmuch as they are remaining the same as those of last year, the same being, for partners of the firm, $25 per hour; for staff accountants, $15 per hour; and clerical 0 $6 per hour. Motion was thereupon made by Mayor Smoak seconded by Councilman Byrd and carried that the auditing agreement for fiscal year ending 9 30 78 be accepted and executed by the proper city officials. Inquiry was made of Mr. Greenlee as to comment on the state mandated municipal uniform accounting system to become effective 10-1-78. Mr. Greenlee advised he had not made an indepth study of the system, but following a brief review he was of the opinion that several areas would have to be revised in order to furnish the City with as much information as they are presently getting and need; That he felt the system was primarily designed for larger cities that are on computer systems; and That the existing revised system in use and the one prior to it were more than adequate for the City of Clermont. - Mayor Smoak advised that the new mandated revision was the third revision mandated for municipal accounting by the State in a like number of years; That he was desirous of proof of the possible benefits and cost effectiveness of changing the system a third time; and, That in an endeavor to obtain this information, he recommended that City Manager Tiffany in conjunction with Finance Director Sanchez, prepare a detailed letter to be over his signature, advising the proper State Regulatory Agencies that the City will not participate in the newly mandated system and categorize the reasons why, such as lack of necessary comparative data, etc. Council was in agreement with Mayor Smoak's recommendation. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN In addition to the complete proposed comprehensive plan submitted to Council previously, a detailed summary of the most essential information from the City's plan was presented to Council for their study and consideration prior to the procedure of public hearing reviews and final adoption process. It was the suggestion of Mayor Smoak that each Council member review the summary thoroughly prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting, at which time a step-by-step review will be made for acceptance or recommenda- tions for revisions. 78-79 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET PRIORITIES/PROJECTS The following suggested priority items for. fiscal year 78-79 were related by Council to be compiled by City Manager Tiffany for his subsequent recommendations back to Council: By Mayor Smoak: Major City landscaping program (particularly along SR50), Replacement of chairs in Council Chambers, Close review of budget regarding operating expenses and requirements for effluent disposal with regards possible reduction of ad valorem taxes, Cost evaluation figures for renovation of Jenkins Building interior and exterior, Paving of Broome Street between Fourth and Fifth Streets,.

Carroll City Clerk DWC/ja Attachment FLORIDA'S FINEST INLAND RESORT -RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Meeting Recorder Purchase DATE: May 19, 1978 Recently we have evaluated recording systems for the Council Chamber to replace our obsolete belt -type recorder. Problems with our belt recorder include (1) poor sound quality on playback, (2) no dual channel capability making it difficult to understand individuals when other sounds are recorded, and (3) unavailability of obsolete paper -type belts. The following systems were tried costing the amounts shown: Sony BM-145 $ 930.00 Lanier LCR-2 $ 1,058.25 Prices are net government prices on State contract. The Lanier has two tapes for automatic change -over and three hour continous recording, plus a feature that prevents accidental recording - over a recorded tape. We feel that these features are more than worth the $128 difference in price. I recommend that we not keep tapes on file after minutes are approved, except perhaps for meetings of unusual long-term importance. The approved minutes should be sufficient record of the meetings. There is no legal requirement to keep tapes on file. Our budget does not anticipate this purchase, but the sudden unavailability of paper tapes makes it important. I recommend authorizing the purchase of the Lanier unit described above.
