Councilman Turville stated that he had read an article by County Commissionex Claude Smoak which stated that for the countywide system to obtain funds, it must serve 75% of the population of Lake County. Fie questioned how three libraries could possible serve 75% of the people in Lake County and maintain' the present level of services.

Stating that your doors are -I open to the general public will qualify the library for State funding because it indicates the library is available, however, this does not mean 75% of the County's population will use Cooper Memorial Library.

Surrounding neighbors have complained about vagrants living in the home and the unmowed lawn. The property owner has been notified several times of pending Council action. At its June 8, 1982 Meeting, the Council agreed to discontinue legal action for one year if a 4' high chain link fence was erected around the building and the lawn maintained within 90 days. On September 8, 1982 the 90 day period expired without any thing being done 82-160 to the property. After some discussion, A MOTION WAS MADE BY COUNCILMAN TTTPVTT.LE. SECONDED BY COUNCILMAN CONLEY_ AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED FOR THE IMPROVEMENTS TO JAYCEE BEACH BOAT RAMP It was reported that all of the projects financed by the Florida Boating Improvement Fund in Lake County have been awarded. Some of the options we originally requested have been removed due to a shortage of funds, and the County is requesting that Clermont contribute 10% of the costs to dem- onstrate our commitment to the project. The total cost of the Jaycee Beach Boating Improvement Project is broken down as follows: 50' Breakwater Construction $28,680 6' exten. Boat Ramp Renovation 2,650 2' Channel Deepening 1,500 TOTAL COSTS $32,830 The City could commit $3,283 to the project, the funds coming from the Recreation Revenue Account. Councilman Conley questioned the worth of 50' of breakwater and felt the City should keep the project in its own hands and spend the $3,283 on the ramp renovation and channel deepening.

NEW RADIO SYSTEM FOR THE P0LICE DEPARTMENT City Manager Forbes explained that for the past year the City has been investigating the possibility of placing the Police Department on a frequency separate from other City Departments and upgrading the radio system with a mobile relay system. These changes are necessary because Clermont's population growth during the past ten years has increased the number of calls to the Police Department, as well as the general usage by all departments. Some emergency calls have been confused or delayed by other departments using the same frequency. A mobile relay (repeater system) should be installed because a repeater would boost the power and range of our mobile radio frequencies, and eliminate troublesome dead spots caused by Clermont's hills. Mr. Forbes explained the proposals he had received from General Electric and Motorola, citing the similarities, differences, and options of each company.

SPRAY FIELD. The City Engineer is completing plans for our spray Yield -and has submitted a report to the State Department of Environmental Regulation. A summary of this report is enclosed. It would be appreciated if each Councilman would carefully review this report. A Workshop Meeting with the City Engineer could be j scheduled to discuss the report if the Council feels it is neces- sary. PLANNING AND ZONING. Louise Relyea has resigned from the P&Z because she has moved to another state. I would suggest we wait and fill this vacancy at our January Organizational Meeting. CLOSING ON LANDSPREADING PROPERTY. The City Attorney will be rescheduling the closing on our landspreading property for a date in October. I will keep you informed on this matter. VANDALISM. During the past week we have had problems with vandaltism o City property in various sections of the town. Sprinkler systems were damaged at the new water tower, library, and the Little League field. MINI WAREHOUSE BUILDING. If there are no Council objections, we are allowing the owners of the mini warehouse south of City Hall to substitute an all block fence on the north side of the building with a block and wooden fence. We believe this fence will improve the appearance of the property. Originally, the plans approved by the Council contained the all block wall. PUBLIC WORKS. The Public Works Department began striping our streets with Thermal Plastic last Wednesday. For the next two to three weeks they will be applying the striping material. They have also been trimming trees and working on property damage near the Lake Winona Bridge. UTILITY DEPARTMENT.

In order to complete badly needed repairs and renovations in the five projects included under the bid, all optional .items were dropped. This elimination of options removed the breakwater addition to the existing dock and the step-down that had originally been included for Jaycee Beach. As I mentioned to you before, the channel deepening was dropped from the bid tabulation because the way the specifications were written there was no reason for the deepening. The depth specified already exists. Because the need for increased depth still exists, the Board of County Commissioners agreed to a planning department recommendation to add the channel deepening to the work of the low bidder. To add two feet additional depth to the area around the ramp will cost approximately $1500. The County is requesting that each city contribute 10% of the project cost to demonstrate their commitment to the project. The total cost for the Jaycee Beach Boating Improvement Project is $32,830 and includes $28,680 for construction of a breakwater, $2650 for boat ramp renovation, and $1500 for channel deepening. The County is asking the City of Clermont to contribute $3,283 to the project. DISTRICT ONE DISTRICT TWO DISTRICT THREE DISTRICT FOUR DISTRICT FIVE JAMES R. CARSON, JR. C. A.

The addition will include racquet ball courts, a weight room, a game room and shower/ locker room. COMMENTS: This property was platted many years ago as West- gate Plaza, and the lot is odd -shaped, which is believed by the owner to be a hardship. In order for him to expand the existing building to accomo- date this recreational complex, a variance is necessary, since expansion can go only to the South if,the present parking area is to be pre- served.

Clermont, FL 32711,Zone G•j Section of Code in the City of Clermont, Florida. The reason given by the Building Official for the decision in refusing to issue a building permit is: My appeal to your Board is based on my contention that this decision creates a hardship on me for the following reason, or reasons: 1. This particular property wns platted many years ago as part of Westgate Plaza , (which required no side yard setbacks) 2. The bowling alley is built on an odd -shaped lot. Both of these existing conditions create a unique hardship in ragard to said property. Seven (7) copies of all necessary floor plans, plot plans. and other pertinent infor- mation are attached hereto, on paper size %" 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.

Date:__9-7-g2 Very truly yours, i An most of you already know, my wife and 1 recently purchased the Clermont Dowling Lanes with the idea of developing a family recreation center which would include bowling, racquetball, nautilus-fitneaa center, gamoroom, and spa. Within the past half dozen years or so, there has been a promising resurgence of interest in physical exercise and fitness and the concept of a recrea- tional center is a popular one in today's society. Within the community, we now have the tennis courts, Jaycee Beach, ball fields, shuffleboard courts, a fitness trail and jazzercise. However, the activities and convenience this center would be offering in not presently available and there is no one facility which provides a variety of recreational services within a wholesome setting for the entire family. The Lanes are located in the area originally designed as Westgate Plaza. in developing this center, we have found that the configuration of the property presents a unique hardship due to the odd shape of the lot which will require a variance for the designed addition. We are, therefore, requesting a variance for a 2' setback from the property line due to the hardship created by this odd shaped piece of property, keeping in mind that when originally built as part of Westgate Plaza there was 0' side property set backs in effect. This variance would allow us to protect all parking spaces existing presently and to provide the most continuity in the flow of traffic. The most logical and practical space for expansion would be on the south aide of the bowling alley. We believe that this recreation center can be an asset to the community as a whole and a real benefit to those who utilize its services.• We..would grently appreciate your favorable consideration.
