REGULAR MEETING
A Regular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held 'In the
Council Chambers on Tuesday, June 24, 1975, The meeting was called to order at
7:30 P. M. by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr. with the following members present:
Councilmen Blackburn, Schroedel, Byrd, and Oswalt. Other officials present were:
City Manager Hopkins, City Clerk Carroll, City Controller Fleming, Director
of Community Services Smythe, and Building Official Nagel. Others present
were: Miss Susan Thomas, Mesdames Thomas, Hobbs, David, Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester
Jones, and the Messrs. Robertson, Sargent, Czech, Ratti and Wade.
The Invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by repeating of the
Pledge of Allegiance in unison by those present.
Mayor Smoak requested an addition to the Minutes of the meeting held on June 17,
1975 as follows: With regards his reason for voting, Naye, on passage of a
motion that Section 11-22 of the Code of Ordinances not be amended to include
tree maintenance, "it was to reflect the feeling of the City Manager in that
he was in concurrence that something be stated in the ordinance that the city is
not responsible for maintaining trees that are adjacent to private property
and used as part and parcel to the persons yard." The minutes were further amended
that it was Mr. Joe Knight of the Lake County Planning Department who was
present, and not Mr. Willett. The Minutes were then approved as amended.
Mayor Smoak announced the first order of business to be a Public Hearing to
consider the request of Mark V Ltd., Inc. for a Variance to Section 26-45 of
the Zoning Ordinance (SIDE YARD ON CORNER LOTS) in order to construct a residence
on Lot 1 in Block 1 of Woodlawn Subdivision. Mr. Gino Ratti appeared before
Council in behalf of the request and advised he was requesting the variance
in order to construct one of their Standard Model Number 3152 Tiffany 1 dwellings,
which would be a savings to the property owners, on the lot, but which would
intrude into the required front yard set -back by 4 ft. S inches. Upon inqury
by Council if the house could be redesigned in order to comply with existing
set -back requirements, Mr. Ratti replied that it could, but that it would be at
a greater cost to the property owners inasmuch as the dwelling would then be of
a custom design and not one of their standard models. Upon examination of the
plot plan as submitted wherein it placed the front of the house facing Desoto
Street leaving only 7 feet for the rear yard, Mr. Hopkins advised that this did
not meet the required set -back for rear yards and would therefore not be acceptable.
It was determined however, that the house could be constructed on the lot wherein
it would face Scott Street and thereby meeting the set -back requirements. In
view of the plan as proposed not meeting the required rear yard setback requirements,
motion was made by Councilman Oswalt seconded by Councilman Sc_hroedel and carried
that the request be denied.
City Manager Hopkins reported he had received a request from the Lake County
School Board Administration for financial assistance in the amount of $1500.00 to
complete funding for the fencing at the tennis courts located at the Elementary
School. It was the opinion of Mayor Smoak, and Council was in agreement, that.
City Manager Hopkins contact the School Board Attorney for a commitment in
writing as to the privileges of the taxpayers in Clermont in use of the courts;
as to whom shall be responsible for the insurance liabilities, and, if and when there
is lighting installed at the courts, as to whom shall be responsible for paying
for the electricity, before any action is taken on such a request.
Mayor Smoak further advised of possible Bi-Centennial funds available for projects
such as this, should they be investigated.
City Manager Hopkins reported on a request received from Michael L. Short, manager
of the local McDonald's wherein he requested permission to use the vacant lot
adjacent to Jenkins Auditorium on the east to stage a carnival for Muscular
Dystrophy. Mr. Hopkins advised Council that this property in question was privately
owned and merely maintained by the city as a small park through oral agreement of the
owner. In view of this, motion was made by Councilman Oswalt, seconded by
be authorized to offer assistance in tinoina a su ltdUlC_ IU6061U11
�erty and grant permission to use same for such a worthy cause.
MINUTES ih'!1 1161
It was the the opinion of Mayor Smoak that inasmuch as attempts at negotiating
with Mr. W. E. Baker regarding a re -negotiation of the Lease Agreement between
he and the city of December 11, 1968 had been unsuccessful, that Council should
take an affirmative position and notify Mr. Baker as follows: That City
Council is willing to honor the initial lease wherein Mr. Baker be billed
for $200.00 per year less the $100.00 per year obligated by the city, and that
the company leasing the 1000 gallon fuel tank to the city be requested to
remove it. It was final consensus of Council however, that City Attorney Baird
be requested to submit a legal opinion on the city's position and his reconmienda-
tions before any action is taken.
Mayor Smoak reminded council of another budget consideration workshop meeting
to be held in the office of the City Manager on Wednesday, June 25th at 7:30
P. M.
Councilman Schroedel advised he thought the city Accident Review Board, as
chairmaned by Building Official Nagel, was doing a very commendable job and
should be forwarded a letter of commendation from Council. Council was in agreement
with this and City Manager Hopkins agreed to so advise Mr. Nagel.
Motion was made b Councilman Blackburn seconded b Councilman Schroedel and
carr a tat the bills be poi .
With regards the Police Department obtaining meals for prisoners from the
Crestand Kidder's Restaurants, it was the suggestion of Mayor Smoak that The Burger
Castle be approached as to their desire for also participating.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
JUNC 24, 1975
TENNIS COURTS
Mr. Norvall Drown of the Lake County School Administration has requested
assistance from the city in order to complete the tennis courts at the elementary
school.
In order to make the courts available for play, the fence needs to be erected.
The estimated cost of the fence is $3500,00. The original estimate was
$2000.00.
A local firm donated $2000.00 which was to pay for the fence, but the funds
had to be diverted to complete the asphalt work due to overruns in that area.
The school board is willing to absorb the $2000.00 amount, but would like some
help on the remaining $1500.00.
Council consideration of this matter is requested.
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Boll Wade Ford
DATE: June 17, 1975
Bob Wade of Bob Wade Ford advises that he plans to proceed with construc-
tion of his new facility on SR 50 just outside the east city limits.
lie advises that he will consider annexation Subject to the availability
of water and sanitary sewer. Water service would not he a problem, how-
ever, sewer service would.
So as to evaluate our ability to provide these services, an engineering
evaluation should be made which would include cost estimates.
It is recommended that Dawkins & Associates develop a proposal for making
this evaluation.
Council authorization to ask for this proposal is requested.
