'ZIn invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by ropeati.r:g of the Pledge of Aller-,Jancc in unison by those present - The Mtnutes of the Meeting hold July 22, 1975 were approved as written. Mr. Charles Vt. Jones appeared before Council in support of his previously written request submitted for permission to construct a dock and boathouse on city owned property lying between lake Shore Drive and Lake Winona adjacent to his property at 625 Lake Shore Drive. Inquiry was made of City Attorney Baird as to the legality of granting such permission. It was the opinion of City Attorney Baird that proper procedure to allow such request would be for Council to vacate the portion of Lake Shore Drive right-of-way in the entire area, not restricting such action to a portion which would accomodate Mr. Jones only. Mayor Smoak advised Mr. Jones that numerous easements and/or leases had been granted over previous years by the city for such like requests, but that the legality of such city action had been questioned and todate had not been resolved. Mayor &soak inquired of Ir. Baird as to any alternative that Council might have at "this point and time" to consider Mr. Jones request, to which he replied, "The only alternative that I can see is to proceed in the manner you had agreed to proceed on Lake Shore Drive back at the end of '74- determine whether or not it is in the public's interest to close that portion of street around Lake Winona and actually close/vacate the right-o-way-that is the only possible approach that I can see and still be within legal grounds." It was the opinion of Mayor Smak "that some way could be found to accorrodate Mr. Jones request and be legal in the framework of state statutes and city charter - receive a consideration from the petitioner for the service which the city is going to give to him - that there is a procedure that Mr. Baird could work out that would meet the requirements necessary", and thereupon entertained a motion for some sort of action, if it be Councilas desire to do so. It was brought to Council's attention by City Manager Hopkins that street right-o-way on Crystal Lake, on Lake Shore Drive to the east and on the north side of Lake Winona, parallels (or is the same as) the waters edge, but in this particular case it is reflected on the tax roll as a description of property that is not indicated on the map as being part of the street right-o-way, and thereby it appears that this property is very different from the street right-o-way and not a part of it. Mr. Baird agreed that this was very possible, that he had not looked at the plat and determined the property to be a dedicated street, that he had assumed so. It was the opinion of Councilman Blackburn that additional research was needed in this case as well as consideration given to those persons having previously held leases/easements which have expired and not been renewed, and he thereupon moved that this request be tabled until a later date, until the problems can be researched, and the motion was seconded by Councilman Oswalt and carried. Mayor Smoak voted in opposition to the motion "only because vie haven't given the gentleman an indication of where we stand." Messrs. Hamlin and Doub of Teleprompter, Inc. appeared before Council in support of their previous request for a rate increase after having submitted a cose accounting for the City of Clermont, as requested on July 22nd. Council did not feel the report as submitted, "isolated" metropolitan Clermont with respect to expenditures and revenues and what effect is expected with the desired rate increase, in relation to the other existing "subsystems" of the system as Winter Garden, Apopka, St. Cloud,etc. N1I N UTES NQ 1.1.72 Mr. IhIO-In opin<<d t.IJd; It wall is "kOltile' ;houO fair th!A CtUy of Ciorli10nt, 11;01atcd m much ns 1xAr;nibLA, thWit ("oul1c11 drn:.irru, anr;i Wat: !.n l.tr,:u of tak.ing a voto with a po:IoIbll,: r(,rxctlun, )"i wui11c1 nu.ike ovi:r^/ <,r't'ort to obtain this .tnl'ormatiori 11111 Bubud.t ,,it they uv.:l;tlnr; to I,u hpi1d on AuI^uBt 2601.

Mayor Smoak reported he had been advised the meeting between the League of Cities Committee and the Board of County Commissioners had been a successful one, and that the cities were invited to present the needs of their communities to the Commission. Ile asked that City Manager Hopkins furnish Council with a report of what he felt were inequities existing, for their perusal and consideration at a workshop session to be called. Mayor Smoak announced the next order of business to be the consideration of the street improvement request as made by Don M. McCaffrey. Mr. McCaffrey was unable to be present in support of his request, however there was a group of property owners that would be affected that were present in opposition to the request, aril Council was in receipt of several petitions in opposition to the street being improved. Inquiry was made of City Attorney Laird as to the city's legal position in the matter with regards the comrritt- ment to Mr. McCaffrey by a fonmer City Manager that the street would be improved and by a certain date. Attorney Baird opined that the city is not bound by any negogiations that were entered into with Mr. McCaffrey based upon the general law that a city can- not contract with regards the opening aril construction of a street except by council action, and is also covered by particular points of laver as to the necessities of travel ect. and each street considered on its own merits, and if opened, authorization coming from regular Ordinance procedure by the City Council. He flrrther opined however, that the city could be forced to pay an adequate consideration for the property which he deeded to the city. It was consensus of Council that there was no need existing for the street, but it was also consensus that a reasonable consideration should be given Mr. McCaffrey for the property deeded by him. 6iotion was made by Councilman Byrn that �,._.. r.

As we both know, many public bodies use a Committee of local insurance agents, sonic use internal personnel to draw specifications and receive and analyze bids and still others employ a professional Consultant. I have had experience with all of the foregoing methods of insurance purchase and have in the past felt that the Committee approach was the most logical since there was not available in the immediate geographic area a well qualified consulting operation. Certainly a consultant coming from a considerable distance is at a distinct disadvantage clue to his lack of familiarity with the region and local conditions. The Revere Corporation does operate an insurance agency in the City of Lakeland but is also prepared to serve in a consulting capacity for various public bodies within our immediate geographic area. The con- sulting fee of course is individually negotiated depending upon the scope of work to be performed. I would very much like to hear from you as regards your present method of placing insurance and if there be any interest on your part in discussing the consulting concept, I will be happy to meet with you at your convenience for an initial discussion.

As you and I discussed at that time, I feel that a considerable amount of work should be done on the overall insurance ex- i. posures of the City of Clermont. primarily aimed at eliminating some currently uninsured exposures as well as evaluating the insurance requirements on items presently covered. I would suggest that we enter into a three year consulting agreement under which terms 1 will draw specifications and receive and analyze bids and work in a continuing capacity with you on the overall exposure, risk management, and insurance program for the City of Clermont. Under this arrangement I feel that it would be almost essential that the specifications be drawn and bids received in general along Q the lines of existing coverage but with the possibility of I some modification based on preliminary decisions. Following the award initially of the insurance program, I feel that considerable further modifications and negotiations with C carriers would be necessary in order to effectively protect I` the interest of the City of Clermont. Mr, Robert rvi. Ilnpicinn, July U, 1775 Under the terms of a three year cunnulting acreement, my fees would be $1,000 annually. In the alternate, I would be perfectly happy to draw specifications and receive and analyze bids ou a single shot basis for your renewal coverages for a fee of $500. If there in interest on your part in proceeding along these lines, please advise and we will be glad to work with you on either of the foregoing arrangements.

TO City Council 4, FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Lake County Comprehensive Plan DATE: August 7, 1975 At their meeting on August 5, 1975 the Planning and Zoning Commission considered the "Position Paper" draft developed by the City Manager. The P & Z Commission is in agreement with the "Position Paper" and that it should be considered by the Board of County Commissioners before adoption of the Lake County Comprehensive Plan - Land Use Element. A copy of the "Position Paper" is attached. Attachment / cc: City Clerk Agenda w/attachment 8/12/75 Building Officialw/attachment LAKE COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LAND USE PLAN ELEMENT The Clermont Planning and Zoning Commission and the ClermontCity Council have reviewed the Lake County Comprehensive Plan -Land Use Plan Element with particular attention given to Section 6, General Plan Policies, and the portion of Section 7, Plan Specifics, which apply to the Clermont-Minneola Urban Area. As a result of the review, the City Council has developed the following position which should be taken into com,ideration by the Board of County Commissioners prior to adoption. Clermont - Minneola Urban Area i STATEMENT_ The Clermont area is Lake County's largest urban area in the Southern portion of the County. Being situated on US 27 and SR 50 it is probably physically associated more with Orange County than other portions of Lake County. COMMENT The statement regarding Clermont's physical association with Orange County seems to a generally accepted philosophy among many, particularly those in the northern portion of the county. It is Clermont's position that South Lake County relates as much to the rest of Lake County, particularly the Leesburg i and the Golden Triangle areas, as it does to Orange County. It appears that the second sentence of the statement should be reworded so as to turn the thinking away from Orange County and to Lake County. 2 STATEMENT The largest of the C1eniont Chain of Lakes is Lake Louisa. It is somewhat separted from the urban area, there being very little nearby in the way of development. It is recommended that special efforts be afforded to protect Lake Louisa from urban encroachment. COMMENT While Clermont agrees that Lake kuisa should be protected, there is a general feeling that urban development in the Lake Louisa area is desirable. A considerable amount of uplands exist which is desirable for development. To say that every little development has or is taking place in the area 1s not i totally accurate. The Vacation Village and the Quail Roost developments are evidence of Major development. In addition, the Hidden Lakes Estates development that has received preliminary plat and other approvals is evidence of continued interest and activity in.the area. POLICY 2 Discourage any new Major development proposed on SR 50 outside of theuurban boundaries, and restrict driveway and street intersections with SR 50, US 27 and SR 561 by establishing strict standards of spacing between street intersections and driveways in order not to inhibit traffic flow. COMMENT i It is Clermont's position that the same restrictive standards for SR 50 and US 27 do not and should not apply to SR 561. It is further felt that "major development" I and "urban boundaries" should be clarified. POLICY 4 Pratezit prime citrus land within the urbanizing area. COMMENT Clarification of Policy 4 is considered necessary. The terms °protect, "prime" AuD • _ 3 _ "urbanizing area" 'leave too much room for interpretation POLICY 6 Encourage clustered commercial development East of US 27 on;SR 50. COMMENT , Policy 6 appears to be in conflict with Policy 2. Policy 2 proposes to discourage "major" development on SR 50 while Policy 6 proposes to encourage clustered commercial development on SR 50. Both Policy 2 and Policy 6 need clarification. POLICY 8 Assist and encourage the development of low and moderate income housing opportunities by compilation of a housing plan, housing assistance plan and by supporting local, State and Federal programs for assistance to housing development in this Node. COMMENT Strong feeling exists against Policy 8. POLICY 10 Assist in the elimination of urban bl4ghrlt in Clermont and Minneola COMMENT Clarification of Policy 10 is considered necessary. The term"blight" needs to be defined. I i TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Signal light - 8th & Montrose Streets DATE: August G, 1976 We have investigated the feasibility and desirability of removing the traffic signal at 8th & Montrose Streets and erecting stop signs for traffic control. Attached is a memo dated July 19, 1975 from Police Chief Tyndal providing his continents.

Light - 8th Street 0 Montrose Street DA'lUt July 19, 1975 Please be advised that I have made a study on the traffic light at eth and Montrose Street since receiving your memo dated June 30, 1975. Due to loss traffic in the downtown area and also duo to the up -keep on the light, I believe that stop signs would control traffic at that intersection. Montrose Street should be a through street going cast and west and 8th Street should be a stop street in order.to install the stop signs. one parking space on each side of 8th Street would have to be eliminated for the signs to be placed. Also on Bth Street on both sides of Montrose, a cross -walk should be painted. _ If I can be of any further assistance -in this matter, please advise. Prentice Tyndal - Chief of Police PT/rs TO: Chief of Police FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: Signal Light - 8th E Montrose Streets DATE: August 13, 1975 At their meeting last evening, the City Council approved changing the traffic control device from signal light to stop signs. Please place the light on flashing for the next 30 days - red for 8th Street and amber for Montrose Street. At the and of the 30 days,we will decide whether to proceed with the installation of the stop signs and removal of the light. R. M. Hopkins TO: City Council FROM: City Manager SUBJECT: SDA Church Drainage System DATE: August 8, 1975 On October 22, 1974 the City Council adopted Resolution 242 which granted the Seventh Day Adventist Church a Conditional Use Permit to construct a church at the corner of Minnehaha Avenue and fast Avenue. Item 5 of the CUP required, in part, that "the project shall incorporate on - site retention to accommodate rainfall of maximum intensity based on a five year interval for the Central Florida area and overflow accommodaton" We have received preliminary plans to correct certain problems in the design of the inlet and percolation system and to provide for overflow accommoda- tions by intercepting an existing storm sewer line in the city park. - Attached is a copy of a memo dated August 9, 1975 from the Building Official recommending acceptance. In order to cross the city park property with the line, Council approval is requested. A set of the plans are on file at City Mall for inspection and will be available at the Council meeting. t'J R.

I The overflow accommodation heretofore not provided in the engineering plans are now proposed to follow a course due west and north for a distance of approximately 192 feet through a city park at which point it will intercept a city storm sewer line which flows into Lake Sunnyside. All work will be done by qualified contractors with approved materials ; and good workmanship practices under certified engineer's supervision.

In lleu of granting an casement, Don and Pat McCaffrey deeded some property to the city with an understanding that the property be used as street right-of-way with improvements made at no cost to the McCaffroys. Attached is the following supporting mal.crial: 1. Deed dated October 20, 1969 2. Letter from Mr. Johnson dated December 30, 1969 3. Drawing showing the property which was deeded to the City. On June 13, 1975 Mr. McCaffrey verbally requested that the city make the improvements. A search of the Council minutes does not indicate any authorization for this commitment. Mr. Johnson has stated that he can't recall any specific -- council action, but does not believe he would have made such a commitment without the Council's permission. By copy of this memo, the City Attorney is being requested to ascertain the City's legal obligation and standing in this matter. Council direction will be appreciated. ins Attachments / cc: City Clerk w/attachments Agenda 7/15/75 ✓✓✓ City Attorney w/attachments MOWS WIT MAINI IWI,o 74 1 j 11 �\ TU7H6 A111 i rlx ( •, low 'Ile °L I ° t� Ilorluthis ;Ilth rlrrlt of nc robe/' , .1. l), /tl RIV1111rell DONALD M. hlc(1Al;l:ltl:Y and PATRICIA A.

Lot C, less 30 feet, Oak Hill subdivision, was spurchased everallots in this �ssubdivision, but 58, at which eI chose lothcioe of because I reasoned that someday, when the planned road would be built, I would then have a more valuable corner lot. For the past 17 years, I have cared for, that Is cleaned, weeded and mowed about 20 feet of the East side of my property, because of the weed situation. I assumed throughout the years that I was caring for city property since the plans shown me by the city 1n 1958 showed Millhouse Road. It was not until recently, while reading the South Lake Press that I realized that the formulations of plans to complete Millhouse road are in effect. I wish to strongly disapprove the building of a SERVICE road to simply serve the purpose of the commercial property adjacent to the East side of both Oak Hill and Sunny Da le Manor Subdivisions, which for so many years have enjoyed the quiet atmosphere of dead end street neighborhoods. The building of a service road would bring undesireable traffic and populace, and thereforw reduce the value of this entire neighborhood. Since I have cared for the 20 feet just east of my property for so many years, I would like to now have a right of way which would permit me to drive my rs into existing carport on my property.

In addition to the cost to the city, it would benefit only one man's property which is already served by the service road parallel to Rt. 27. Furthermorb, we object to having to pay 1/3 of the cost of the used as it passes our property for the dubious "priviledge" of having care travel at a level enabling them to look into our windows. Since drive-intheater, oursaado not need additional the additionalcontributions, yards And however convenient it would be for movie-goers to be able to "hot -rod it" from the drive-in directly to MacDonalds, adjoining homeowners would not appreciate having their sleep interrupted. We would also prefer that the large trees shielding us from a view of the drive-in screen remain where they are. We have spoken with the city's attorney and with Mayor Smoak - and Councilman Oswalt about this matter. Since we will be on vacat- ion during the next council meeting, we will be unable to attend. Please take our objections under consideration and bring thie letter to the attention of the council. Sincerely yours, Kenneth D.

The next stop in the annexation process is to adopt a non -emergency ordinance to annex the property and to redefine the boundary lines of the city. The ordinance shall be passed after it has been published once a week for four consecutive weeks in the Local newspaper. The adopted ordinance will then be filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court and the Department of State. It is recommended that the City Attorney be instructed to prepare the necessary ordinance. R. 'Ho inFsVill3 cc: City Clerk w/attachment Agenda 8/12/75 City Attorney w/attachment PETITION FOR ANNEXATION Petition is hereby made to the City Council of the City Of Clermont, Lake County, Florida by Mr. Bob Wade, 1363 Lake Shore Drive, Clermont, Florida for the annexation of the following described property to the City of Clermont Lot 23 and the East 1/2 of Lot 26 Section 29S, Range 26E as shown on Lake Highlands Company plat Field J, Plat Book 2, Page 25, Public Records of Lake County, Florida It is my understanding that all municipal services will be iimnediately available to the property except sanitary sewer service. In order to get water service extended to the property, a tapping fee will be required. The tapping fee is $1980.00 based on $3/front foot times the 660 feet of property frontage. The tapping fee shall be paid prior to the extension being made. Sanitary sewer service is not available and is not necessary at this time. It is my understanding that the estimated cost to extend the service at this time to the drainage area which includes my property is $42,500.00. I am in agreement with the city that it is not economically feasible to extend the service at this time since my facilities will be the only user. I am in agreement with the city's plans to extend sanitary sewer service at such time that it is considered economically feasible. Construction of a new and used car dealership has been started on the property. Since it wll take approximately sixty (60) days to complete the annexation requirements, I agree to bear all costs for temporary service such as temporary water for construction should the city agree to provide the service. I am the sole owner of the property for which this annexation is being requested. Witness: Bobo eae G X Dintributud to Council fl-4-75 !

It is difficult at this time to determine the size of the capsule or the size or the monument to house this capsule. If all material collected becomes bulky, it can be micro - Filmed and stored as such for the committee of the Tricen- tennial Committee to open on July 4, 2076. Since Clermont does not at this time have a memorial to its people, I thought that perhaps the city would like to find it suitable location for this capsule and monument, plus the attachment of a suitably inscribed bronze plaque denoting the patriotic contents and the requested histor- ical opening for and by the proposed tricentennial committee. The monument, plaque and monument location could be the city's contribution to this area bicentennial project. It is planned that the Chamber will "Kink -Off" it's Bicentennial program during the labor Day celebration at the Jaycee Beach. We plan to have a flag raising ceremony and at this time announce plans for collection of material for the time capsule. We believe this will give all :in the Greater Clermont area a piece of the Bicentennial action. Trusting we may receive a favorable reply and if more details are required I will be available for a council meeting. Respec�l , �,. R.W.
