The Minutes of the Regular Meeting held on January lh, 1975, were approved as written.

Mr. Nick Jones, representing Mr. and Mrs. M. Jones, presented information requested at the last council meeting. He advised that they would as owners be willing to dedicate an easement to the City of eight feet across the south end of the property; also as owners, they would be willing to incur the costs for the relocation of the inlet which will be a three-way catch basin. Mr. R. A. Corregan and Mr. and Mrs. M echtold voiced objections to the City permitting a duplex, as planned, to be constructed on this property; however, Mr. Corregan had no objection to an easement. Following Council discussion on other items such as written proposals from the owner pertaining to the easement, storm drain and acceptance of the storm drain proposal by the County, motion was ma_d_e� Council- man Byrd that the Variance be granted.

He stated they attempted to approach the subject from two angles: (1) to take a firm position in that the City desired to terminate the agreement, and (2) on the basis of certain amendments to the agreement. However, Mr. Baker indicated that he was not in favor of terminating the agreement, that he would defend the agreement even up to legal action. Mr. Baker, however, was agreeable to a compromise. Mr. Hopkins continued with considerable background infor- mation on the events leading up to the existing agreement with Mr. Baker and stated it is his conlusion that the City should attempt to work out an agreement to continue on the same basis, with some limitations to protect the City and that he had no recommendation as to whether the City should terminate the contract or not, but that fie did feel both parties had entered the agreement in good faith. Council considered the agreement further. Mayor Smoak maintained the City should terminate the agreement with Mr. Baker.

January 23, 1975 City of Clermont-, Florida j 'i'u; I+oard Of.' Arijunt:nuant: Prom: Ci ty Min naqur. Sul,'j t .John Au'I..l l.ot: 1, 131ock 4, Sunnysido till d.l: 14UO Bowman Str.unt Date: Jann.ary 16, 1975 On October 9, 1973 the Hoard of Adjustment connidorc'd a varianuu ret-iucnt of Mr. John Aul.l. regarding Lot❑ .l,?.,'i,4,(i and 7 in Bloc:: 4, Sunnyud.do Unit. As the Board will recall, Mr. Aull. dus.ired a redi.vision of the lota to allow for the construction of a single family dwelling and two duplex rlwell.ings. The variance as advertised, which was granted, was to Section 26-23(C)(3) of the Zoning Ordinance (Lot Area per Family). 'Phis, in effect, was to allow Mr. Aull to "borrow" lot area from two existing duplex dwelling sites and create two new, standard size dublex dwelling sites. Included in his master plan was, in addition to the two duplex dwelling sites, a single family dwelling site. The site was to be 6103 square feet which meets the lot size requirements of the or- dinance. i While Mr. Aull's letter of request (copy attached) did not mention any variance needs regarding the single family dwelling, a note on his drawing supporting his variance request did state that the "average setback for 3(existing) buildings shown facing Sunnyside Drive is approximately 1016". For use in determining setbacks for proposed Lot k1." Lot 1 is the single Eamil.y dwelling lot. In order to allow for reduced setbacks when the zoning ordinance requires 25' (the lot is triangular with two sides facing a street), a setback variance would be necessary. However., this consideration was not made during the October 9, 1973 hearing. on July 19, 1974 the building permit was issued to construct the single family dwelling unit on Lot 1, Block 4. The plans reflected 19' setbacks and not the required 251. As a result, the single family dwelling being constructed is not in conformance with the zoning ordinance with respect to the setbacks. When this matter came to my attention in mid November, 1974, I met with Mr.. Aull, along with his architect and the city staff. Due to what I considered extenuating circumstances, construction was not stopped. Thn sequence of events and circumstances are os follows: 1. When Mr. Aull decided to pursue this project, lie and his architect came to my office to discuss the plan. At that time, it was pointed out that a variance request would be necessary because there were deviations from the zoning ordinance planned. In response to the question about the setbacks, I advised Mr. Aull to be sure and note this item on the drawings to support the variance request. pra No 2.

When the setback problem came Lo my attant.i.on, the construction of the dwelling was alrcody underway. A meeting was held with the owner and his architect. Since it was my feeling that Mr. Aul.l had acted in good faiL•h, construction was not halLod. Conclusion and Recommendation In view of the action by the Board on OcL_ober 9, 1973 in approving Mr. Aull's plan as well as an apparent hardship, it .is recommended that a variance be granted to allow for the 19' setbacks,a variance of a'. The variance will be Lo Section 26-23(E)(1), Pront Setback, and 2G-23(L•')(3), Rear Setback. There is an apparent hardship. The lot is unique in that it is tri- angular facing streets on two sides. To require 25' setback on the two sides would make utilization of the property .in a reasonable manner difficult-. In addition, this variance would not create a situation contrary to the public health and safety and would be comparable to the other structures in the block. It appears that a number of errors were committed in this matter. The owner failed to mention the setbacks in the letter of request or in the public hearing. The City failed to include the request in the public hearing advertisement, did not mention the subject in the public hearing and dial not detect the problem at the time of building permit issuance. A definite breakdown in communications occurred. Steps have been taken to alleviate this type of problem in the future. It is my feeling that the recommended course of action is the most reasonable and appropriate at this time. A public hearing will. be held during the Council Meeting on January 28, 1975 to consider this matter. ."�`• ohc 1 I. M. II . .ins R1,1II/ kd CC.

The meeting was called to order at 5:00 P. M. by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr., with the following members present: Councilman Blackburn, Schroedol and Oswalt. Others present wero City Manager Hopkins and Deputy Clerk Dollar. Mayor Smoak advised that this meeting was called at the request of the City Manager to consider certain aspects of the Sanitary Sewer Improvements in the Minnehaha Estates. Mr. Hopkins explained that prior to passing the initial resolution for sanitary sewer Improvements to the Minnehaha Estates one of the requirements is to have an assessment plat. lie stated that when the City initially entertained the idea of these improvements, an assessment plat was provided by Michaels••Stiggins, who are no longer the City engineers, and that since then a number of changes have taken place in ownership and other considera- tions, it is necessary to up -date the assessment map; also that at another public hearing which must be held, the assessments made by Michaels-Stiggins would have to be supported by an engineer qualified to do this. He requested a directive from City Council on how they wished to proceed with updating the assessment map and providing for the verifications of these assessments at a public hearing. It was the consensus of Council that it would not be necessary to hire the services of another engineering company. Councilman Blackburn volunteered, at no cost to the City, to review the assessment map and verify the calculations that had been made by Michaels-Stiggins on the initial assessment map, whereupon motion was made by Councilman Schroedel, seconded by Council- man Oswalt and unanimously carried that the City staff proceed to update the assess- ment plat of Minnehaha Estates; and authorized Mr. Blackburn to check and authenticate the original figures presented by Michaels-Stiggins. The meeting was adjourned by Mayor Smoak at 5:25 P. M. Claude E. Smoa ,4ir,ayor M. Do lar, Deputy Clerk
