He was still further requested to inquire as to the feasibility of using quartz lights. City Manager Hopkins reported to Council that he had called a meeting between himself and official4of the three major groups using Bishop Field on a regular basis for Thursday, March 27th, to formulate a schedule and 11 I H U T L S NO. 1128 plan amiable to the City and all parties concerned for the use, of Bishop Field and its facilities.

MI 11 LI T E S No. 1129 Mr. Henry Czech, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, appeared before Council to advise that resulting from the recent preliminary survey of the City's proposed needs as made and reported on by T.W.Stewart E Associatos,Inc.t wherein it was noted there was a need for tong range planning, that a Sub-COmmlttee of the Planning and Zoning Commission had been appoint- ed and designated as a "Function Committee" to study and consider planning for the City, for report to the Planning and Zoning Commission and thereupon their recommendations to Council. City Controller Fleming reported that $75,130.00 had been received todate for ad valorem taxes, which reljresented approximately 40" of total anticipated funds, and that all of the reimbursement for the additional homestead exemptions as granted by the State had been received in the amount of $7,603.00. City Attorney Baird reported that his research of the proper title owner of property on which the Garden Club is located, revealed that the property is )resently vested in the name of Lake County, and that he shall be meeting wit�i the County Attorney in an endeavor to transfer ownership to the City as had apparently been intended soma several years ago. Mayor Smoak reported as follows: That in meeting with County Commission Chairman Jim Hoskinson, he was advised that Mr.Hoskinson would present the matter of desired voting precinct designations for within the corporate city limits of Clermont only, eliminating the present designated precincts in the city which also include out -of -city areas, for the County Commission's consideration; That in his long standing desire for a "Clermont Citizens Inspired Tree Planting Project", he would request that City Manager Hopkins contact the Forestry Service and obtain the procedures required and in- formation as to the availability for obtaining trees for such a project in order that he might approach the various civic and fraternal organizations in the city for their endorsement and help in such a project for the city; and, That he was in receipt of a communication from Board Chairman Jim Hoskinson wherein he outlined the various services offered by Lake County to the municipalities, which copies would be made available to Council and which would be considered by the League of Cities Tax Equalization Committee in a future meeting with the Board of County Commissioners. Councilman Blackburn reported he had received complaints regarding the speed of jet boats on local lakes, and inquired of the possibility of eliminating this. It was consensus that speed control on the lakes was not within the jurisdiction of the city, whereupon City Manager Hopkins was requested to obtain the name of the governing authority for same and information as to the required procedure for investigating such matters, and report back to Council. Councilman Schroedel reported he had received favorable comments with regards the fencing installed at Jaycee BeaCh, and inquired if it was planned to be extended still farther north to encompass the picnic area, and he was advised in the affirmative. A communication was read from George E. Hovis, wherein he submitted his resignation from the Planning and Zoning Commission in order to refrain from any possible conflict of interest due to his partner in the Hovis and Baird Partnership having been recently appointed as City Attorney. He further advised that, though he had previously formally resigned as Public Defender, he had been continuing to serve in that capacity at the request of Municipal Judge, R.W.Waters, but that he now would no longer be able to serve. Mr.hiovis' resignation was respectfully and regretfully accepted by Council..Mayor Smoak advised he would communicate the Council's deep and sincere appreciation to Mr. Hovis for his services rendered while serving on the Planning and Zoning Commission and as Public Defender. City Manager Hopkins was requested to inquire of all local attorneys as to their interest in serving as Public Defender in Municipal Court, and then set a time for their interview by Council.

BASKETBALL COURT - JAYCEE BEACH Presently scheduling calls for constructing the basketball court this week. We hope to complete the construction by Friday, March 28th. GEORGE NAREHOOD The conditions on Tenth Street which were brought to the attention of the Council at the last meeting by Mr. George Narehood are being investigated and appropriate action taken. Speed limit, children at play and stop signs have been installed as requested. The Health Department has been requested to make an inspection of the Alvin Knight property. The automobile repair shop has been notified to remove all vehicles from the right-of-way. Other action will be taken as our investigation continues. The Council will be kept advised of our progress. SCHOOL BUS STOP SHELTER The Badcock Corporation, 601 E. Highway 50, has requested permission to locate a school bus stop shelter on city property on the east side of Twelfth Street just north of Swift Grove Service. The shelter will have Badcock advertising on it and will be similar to the one located on SR 561 between Clermont and Minneola. Council action on this matter is requested. BORROW PIT Considerable dirt has been added to the wash outs in the dikes at the borrow pit. However, due to the severe grades of the sides of the dikes, it is expected that erosion will continue with each heavy rain. In order to reduce this problem, it is recommended that the height of the dikes be reduced by approximately five feet. The material from the top would be pushed to the sides. This would provide a wider top to the dikes and less severe grades on the sides. It is estimated that this work could be done for approximately $700. Authorization to proceed with this work is requested. EFFLUENT DISPOSAL SYSTEM - STP The former Johnson property located north of Osceola Street has been cleared 'and.: is ready for the installation of the irrigation system. We proposed a seioi-permanent system which will consist of buried PVC distribution line and nine standard nozzle 80C Rainbirds on 6 foot risers. The estimated cost of the material is $1,100. Authorization to proceed is requested. Page 2 SAILBOAT R[GATTA In a letter dated March 20, 1975, Mr. Tom Bailey of the Orlando Yacht Club has requested that permission be granted to conduct the Florida Sailing Association Singlehanded Champions,ip Regatta on April 12th and 13th on Lake M1nneola.

BOWIiN BUILDING Dear Mr. Hopkins: I am In receipt of your letter of March 12, 1975, regarding the request of Al Earls to remodel the building located at 789 highway 50, Clermont, Florida. Section 26-10 of the Code 1s quite clear that an existing building cannot be".. ...reconstructed, enlarged or expanded for a non -conforming use. .... It would - appear that the existing building can be used as iIll automobile service center but alterations of the building would be in violation of the Code. " Vtruly yours, LEONARD 11. BAIRD, JR. City Attorney LHB/hmb March 12, 1975 Mr. Leonard H. Baird, Jr. City Attorney 1 Westgate Plaza Clermont, Florida 32711 Dear Mr. Baird: Mr. Al Earls plans to open an automobile service center at 789 Highway 50, the former Razz Bowen Cars facility. The zoning is C-1 and the proposed use is C-2. The use is allowed under Section 26-10 of the zoning ordinance under the "next lower use" provi- sion. Mr. Earls wants to enclose the front area of the building which is presently under roof. It doesn't appear to me that Section 26-10 will permit the alteration as proposed. I would like to have your comments in this regard so Mr. Earls can be advised. Sincerely, Robert M. Hopkins City Manager RMH:md bc: R. M.

Clermont, Florida 72711 Gentlemen; Hecause my law partner will be serving as Clermont City attorney, I feel that I should not continue to serve on the Clermont Planning and Zoning Commission. The possible conflicts of interest are too great. Please consider this letter as my resignation from the Planning and Zoning Commission effective immediately. I thank you for granting me the honor of serving. It has been an enjoyable experience for me. Although I foresee no conflict of interest in my serving on the Charter Revision Committee, I submit my offer of resignation for your consideration. it has been my impression that I was appointed to the committee as a representative of the — -- - Planning and Zoning Commission; so, if it is the desire of the council to replace me with a member from Planning and Zoning, I certainly will understand. If the council wishes for me to stay on the Charter Revision Committee, I will be happy to do so. Several months ago I resigned as the Public Defender of Clermont. However, at the request of Judge Waters, I have continued to handle all cases requiring a Public Defender. Obviously, I can no longer serve in the capacity of Public Defender so would suggest that the council take the necessary steps to secure the services of another attorney as Public Defender.
