An addition to the minutes of the meeting held on October 22, 1974 was made as follows: It was the Seventh Day Adventist Church that was granted a CUP for construc- tion of a church and commmity service building, via Resolution No. 242. The Minutes were then approved as written. Mayor Smoak announced the first order of business to be a Public Hearing to consider request of The Pacemaster Speedee Shop for a variance to Section 26-25 (D) (E) (4) (SIGN IN A C-2 ZONE) of the Zoning Ordiance in order to construct a Marquee Sign on Lots 12 and 14 in City Block 77. Mr. James Roberts, Jr., Vice -President of PaccNaster, Inc. appeared before Council in behalf of this request. There was no one present from the floor who objected to the request, however, it was the opinion of Councilman Blackburn that such a sign would commercialize this part of town and be detrimental to what the people of "Project Clermont" had strived for. Notion was made by Councilman Byrd seconded by Councilman Oswalt and carried that the request be granted. Councilman Blackburn voted Naye on passage of the motion. Mr. John Rocker appeared before Council and requested permission to operate a hone fuel oil business on property annexed to the city in 1972 south of Hwy 50 and E of Hwy 27 which is zoned R1A. He further advised that the property owner would request a Change of Zoning to allow such a business, but by the time the request had gone through regular channels, it would be too late in the season for fuel oil sales, and he hereby requested permission for a variance to start operating immediately It was the opinion of Mayor Smoak that Council had been remiss in not having already changed this remaining portion of the annexed area from its RIA zoning to that of C2 and thereby match the existing businesses and uses of this area with its former commercial zoning status prior to annexation. City Attorney Vason advised that granting such a request would be the granting of a Use Variance, which, in essence, is "spot Zoning" and therefore not allowed. Motion was made by Councilman Oswalt an seconded by CouncilmSchroedel and carried that the request be denied. Mayor Smoak requested of Mr. Czech, Chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission, that the Commission start immediate study and make recommendations for Council's consideration to change the existing zoning in this area to that of its best and possible use, and more in line with the existing businesses there.

Some 01' the wrens of county involvement in which services to the city residents are questioned are the County Commionlon, the uttorney, planning, building and zoning, civil defenuo, law enforcement, public works, mental health, pollution control, library, and parks and recreation. The area of parka and recreation in one or the easiest to analyze regarding- cost vs benefits. County funds provide for little or no park and recreation facilities, City residents provide these raci.li.ties for their own enjoyment - an well no the enjoyment of rural reuidentu. No rungs are available from the county to support these two service areas. Attached is an analysis of the resident/non resident utilization of our facilities during the past year(attachment 1) as well as a cost comparison for operation, maintenance and capital outlay since 1970.(attachment 2) - - -� The figures indicate that considerable sums of money are expanded annually to provide our park and recreation facilities and that they are used in large part by non -Clermont residents, It is recommended that this information be furnished to the Lake County League of Cities to be included in their appeal to the County Commission for relief from the current burden of double taxation. This matter will be on the November 12th agenda.
