REGULAR MEETING
A Regular Mooting of the City of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held
In the Council Chambers on Tuesday, December 9, 1975. The meeting was called
to order at 7:30 P. M. by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr., with the following members
present: Councilman Oswalt, Byrd, Schroedel, and Blackburn. Other officials
present• were: City Manager Hopkins, City Attorney Baird, City Clerk Carroll, Finance
Director DeDier, Director of Community Services Smythe, and Chief of Police
Tyndal. Others present were: Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfired Kropp,
and the Messrs, Czech, Holtzclaw, Williams, Kyle, and Groo.
The invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by repeating of the Pledge
of Allegiance in unison by those present.
Mayor Smoak cordially extended a "Welcome Back" to Councilmen Blackburn -,and
Schroedel, following their successful re-election to Council on December 2nd for
two years terms.
The Minutes of the Special Meeting held December 1, 1975 and December 3, 1975 were
approved as written.
Mayor Smoak announced the first order of business to be a Pu61ic Hearing to
consider the request of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfired Kropp for a Variance to Section
26-20 (E) (3) (REAR YARD SETBACKS) of the Zoning Ordinance in order to construct
a residence on their property described as Lot 1 in Block A of Winona Shores
Subdivision. Mr. and Mrs. Kropp appeared before Council in support of their request.
They advised that due to the size and shape of their property it would be best
suited to face the proposed residence on Johnson Drive, but in so doing, they
could not meet the required 25' setback in the rear. They further advised the
proposed residence could not be moved farther to the north where the lot is wider
inasmuch as it was now at the 25' setback from the high water mark of the Lake
Winona Canal. The amount of variance they were requesting was a 2.13' penetration
into the rear yard setback. Mayor Smoak advised that had'looked at the property,
and inasmuch as there were not other houses located on Johnson Drive in this
particular area, wondered if they would be equally as pleased to have a variance
to the required front yard serback and thereby have a larger rear yard with the
required rear yard setback being observed and the adjacent property owner would
have the normal setback between houses. Mr. and Mrs. Kropp advised they would
prefer having the variance to the front as they felt that would look even better,
if such were agreeable with Council. Following inquiry by Mayor Smoak, there-Whs
no one present who voiced objection to the request. An abutting propery owner,
Mr. Sam Holtzclaw, advised that he would have no objection to the request at all,
whereupon motion was made by Councilman Schroedel and seconded by Councilman
Oswalt a riance to the requiregranted.
Councilman Byrd advised a e would not desirejust
2.13 feet if he felt the house would look better farther back on the lot and
still meet the required rear yard setback, whereupon he offered and moved an amending
motion that a variance be qranted allowing a Ju' setback in the frunL. The muLiutr was
Nave. Councilman Schroedel advised he could not support the motion as he felt
the required 35' setback in that R1A zone should be upheld, but inasmuch as this
property is of irregular shape and size he would be willing to grant a variance
of 2.13 feet as originally requested by the Kropps.
The REv. Ralph T. Kyle, a new resident of Clermont, appeared before Council and
advised as follows: That having been a former active participant in many inter-
denominational religious crusades, and greatly appreciative of the tremendous
impact resulting when many different churches join together, it had been his desire
since moving to Clermont that such a crusade could be held here; That he had been
meeting and working with representative of ten local churches toward this goal;
That in order to do something a little different in hopes of reaching the "unchurched",
they had developed the idea of having an old fashioned tent revival on the vacant
lot adjacent to the Exchange Bank, which location affords ample parking; That they
felt such a program would be a great bi-centennial effort, and hopefully, greatly
affect the crime situation; That inasmuch as the location is adjacent to the South
MINUTE'S M 1214
Lake Shopping Center, they had contacted all the merchants in the Plaza as well
as officials of the Exchango Hank to get their endorsement, which they had been
successful in doing; That they had appeared before the Kiwanis Club to seek
their endorsement and 1t had been given; That a letter to officials of the
Gulfstream Land Development Company, owners of the vacant lot, had been drafted,
reeking permission to use the property and in order to Impress upon them that
this was fully a community wide bi-centennial effort, they were respectfully
requesting that Council unit with them In their effort by endorsing their proposed
crusade and sign the letter of request along with the signatures of those above
mentioned who had given their endorsement previously. The Council members,
individually, readily extended their cooperation, however inasmuch as possible legal
requirements for placing a tent and sponsoring that type of program in that
particular zone had not been investigated, Mr. Kyle was requested to withhold
seeking permission for use of the property until the City Attorney and City Manager
Hopkins had opportunity to determine what requirements, if any, must be met,
and he agreed to do so.
Mr. Floyd Groo of Michaels-Stiggins, Inc., Engineers engaged by the city for
construction of the existing sanitary sewer systemappeared before Council
and requested final payment owed his firm for engineering services, following the
city's notification that EPA had approved the final grant payment. It was the
opinion of Mayor Smoak, and Council was in agreement, that inasmuch as the percolation
polishing ponds had never functioned as designed by Michaels-Stiggins, Inc.
resulting in various regulatory agencies requiring the city to go to spray irrigation
for its effluent disposal which shall mean the expending of considerable
additional sums of money, that a meeting of Council and Mr. Groo be set to thoroughly
discuss the matter further before any action to be taken by Council. Mayor Smoak
further advised that the final grant payment from EPA had been approved for an
amount $5,907.68 less than the anticipated final payment due to the problem
of the ponds, and that recorded documents from the plant had shown the ponds
ineffectiveness, City Attorney Baird advised that there had been correspondence
found in the sewer construction files wherein the Attorney for Ardamann & Associates
Inc., the soil and lab experts engaged by Michael s-Stiggins, Inc. to make a
subsurface soil investigation and analysis of the proposed ponds and who had
asserted the ponds would percolate 600,000 gallons of effluent daily, had requested
a meeting between Ardamann & Associates, Michaels-Stiggins, Inc. and the City
Council at the time it was first discovered the ponds were not functioning properly
It was consensus that such meeting be held as soon as possible, and the matter
was referred to City Manager Hopkins to make the necessary arrangements.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report both orally and written, and a copy is
attached hereto. Mr. Hopkins reported orally that he had received a request from
the Tangerine Sports Assoication to again utilize the facilities at Jaycee Beach
on December 13th and 14th in conjunction with their Tangerine Sport Holiday Sailboat
Regatta. Motion was made by Councilman Blackburn seconded by Councilman Oswalt
and carried that the request_be granted.
With regards the grant from the Kiwanis Club for improving the water quality of
the local lakes and to be administered by the Lake Improvement Committee and the
City Council, the matter was referred to City Attorney Baird for his recommendation
as to the best and legal method of administering the grant.
Finance Director DeDier submitted his report both orally and written, and a copy
is attached hereto.
Mayor Smoak reported that he had spoken with officials of the Lake County School
Board with regards use of school recreational facilities (gym -football field -
tennis courts, etc.) for organized youth and young adults of the City of Clermont,
and that it had been favorably received. He reported that they had requested that
Council correspond with them in writing, requesting that these facilities be
made available to the residents of Clermont, and that Council condones such use,
thought the City of Clermont would hold no responsibility nor liability in the
use of the facilities. Mayor Smoak suggested, if it be the desire of Council,
that he be given permission to speak on behalf of the Counil and correspond in
writing to Superintendent McCabe stating that it is the Council's poistion to
be in favor of this type of activity and mutual exchange between the two governmental
MINLIT S M 121
bodies. Council was in full agreement,
Mayor Smoak reported that lie and City Manager Hopkins had firmed up an order for
5000 bareroot soodling trees of sand pine, slash pine, live oak, cypress, and red
cedar variety for delivery on January 13th and distribution on January 17th.
Councilman Blackburn advised that the Jaycee Organization had agreed to cooperate
with the city in the distribution and planting of the trees. Mayor Smoak
expressed appreciation to and commendation of the local Jaycee Organization in
their many cooperative and worthwhile projects for the betterment of this community.
Councilman Schroedel reported briefly on his recent attendance of the Cooper
Memorial Library Board meeting, wherein it was reported that the local Wommns Club
is sponsoring a meeting of smaller children one Saturday each month, and that on their
initial meeting held in Novemb or they had an attendance of 75 who had checked
134 books from the library. Ile further reported that the new shelving
was being installed in the childrons section of the library, and that a charge of
$2.00 would be made for future bookbinding and mending of privately owned books.
Mayor Smoak advised of a communication which he had received from Matthew Rice of
the Groveland Kiwanis Club wherein they solicited a financial contribution from the
City of Clermont toward purchase of fireworks for use in their annual 4th of July
celebration. Motion was made by Councilman Byrd, seconded by Councilman Schroedel

interest in having such a Town Hall Meeting as proposed had been expressed by many
of the citizens.

Church that the city allow the retaining wall to remain in place which had been

IITNANCh: D"LliliC'I'Olt'S REPORT
On October 21., 1.975 the auditor from Aetna Insurance Company came and
audited our payrolls for the Workmen's Compensation Insurance for the
year October 1, 1974 to September 30, 1975.
i
The Workmen's Compensation Insurance is based on classification of Jobs
performed and the amount of rLnk related to each Job. As an example,
the rate for a refuse collector is $10.77 per $100.00 earned by an
employee as compared to an office worker's rate of .37 per $100.00 i
earned.
I challenged the auditor's classification of employees and recomputed
the rates for the entire year. As a result the City has received at
total credit of $2,103.00 on our current billing for insurance premiums.

FROM: Mayor
SUBJECT: Effectiveness of the Percolation Polishing Ponds
DATE: December 5, 1975
Mr. Floyd Groo, President of Michaels-Stiggins, Inc, is on the Council
agenda for Tuesday the 9th of December. It is my understanding that his
presence concerns the unpaid balance of the original engineering services
due Micaaels-Stiggins on the construction of the waste water collection
system and treatment plant in the City of Clermont.
As you are all aware, the percolation polishing ponds have not functioned
as designed. Consequently, the city is in the position that certain
demands are being made by the Lake County Pollution Control Department
and the State Department of Environmental Regulation. In a thumbnail,
the regulatory agencies are requiring the city expending considerable
sums of money, probably in excess of one million dollars, to acquire land
for a spray site for effluent disposal. Had the percolation polishinq
ponds functioned as designed there. would have been no requirement
for land spreading of effluent.
It is my personal feeling that the original engineering work was defective
in that the percolation polishing ponds do not come any where near handling
the volume of effluent necessary to meet present pollution standards. Conse-
quently I have asked the City Manager to furnish whatever data he has
available as to the effectiveness of the percolation polishing ponds for
council review and I have also requested the City Attorney to investigate
the city's legal position.
I would hope in our discussion with Mr. Groo next Tuesday that we will
determine the position of Michaels-Stiggins regarding the monies in question
but would hope the council will take no action regarding authorization of
payment of these funds until such time as the defective percolation polishing
ponds are corrected or at least until the city has ample opportunity to
investigate its legal position concerning this matter. It is entirely
possible and, I feel in order, that this matter might be settled on a
negotiation basis.

DATE: December 5, 1975
On October 233, 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 East Avenue.
During construction, the contractor constructed a retaining wall along the
south side of the alley in conflict with the approved plans.
The church, with the concurrence of the abutting property owner, has asked
that the city allow the retaining wall to remain in place. The church has
agreed to remove the wait at any time it becomes a matter of concern. See
the attached correspondence which is self explanatory.
Since this project was constructed under a CUP, the matter of the wall is
being brought before the Council for consideration.
