WrULAR MEETING
A ncgular Meeting of the City Council of the City of Clermont was held in the Council
Chum. 0ers on Tuesday, November 12, 1974, 111hc meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M.
by Mayor Claude E. Smoak, Jr. with the following members present: Councilmen Byrd,
Schroedol and Oswalt. Other officials present were: City Manager Hopkins, City
Attorney Vason, City Clerk Carroll, Controller Fleming, Chief of Police 7yndal,
and Director of Community Services, Smythe. Others present were: The Misses Beals;
Mesdames Dean, Smak, Blackburn, and Oswalt; The Messrs. Prior, Sargent, Beals,
Czech, Judy, Rocker, Baird, Roberts, Stearns, Saunders, and members of Boy Scount-
Troop No. 704.
The invocation was given by Councilman Byrd, followed by repeating of the Pledge
of Allegiance in unison by those present-.
The Oath of Office was administrated by Mayor Smoak to Ben Blackburn, who was
immediately seated as Councilman in Group No. 2.
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.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report, both orally and written, and a copy is
attached hereto.

Pollution Control Officer, Mr. Hennessey, of the County, concurred, and the
city will, in fact, get an operating permit as opposed to a temporary operating permit.
The engineering report that has been requested by the County is primarily a soil
analysis of what we have out there -the total area that we're using in terms of
acreage -the amount of gallonage that we're putting on that acreage -the engineer's
recammendation as to the best distribution of that gallonage over that acreage
over a given period of time -the engineer's recam endation as to an evaluation as to
the loading factor on it -these are the specific things that they mentioned that
they would like to see the City of Clermont present to Mr. Hennessey who will in

An increasing concern in being expressed that city residents are paying more
than their fair nhare in county taxes in view of the level of services received.
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.

Dear Mayor Smoak:
Thin letter is intended to follow up and put forth in writing, the actions
of the Lal:e County Pollution Control Board concerning the effluent disposal
problem of the City of Clermont Sewage Treatment Plant. A motion was made
and carried, stating that:
The City of Clermont be granted a 6-months Variance,
and that it be stipulated that the pollution control
officer and the City of Clermont work very closely
with their progress an to grading, reducing pondina,
and the engineering report; and the pollution control
officer review the engineering report and bring it
back to the Board.
I have been directed to work an closely as possible with you to arrive at
the best method of disposing of this effluent on the land available, and to
minimize the runoff that has caused thin need for variance to our rules.
The Board has asked for an engineering report on those alterations contem-
plated for the grove immediately adjacent to the sewage treatment plant.
It was stated by you that this land will be used for a public park; however,
it is our understanding that it will be manipulated in such a way as to
increase its effluent holding capabilities to the maximum.
The Board expects some official documentation and evaluation by your
consulting engineer regarding the capabilities of the existing disposal areas
with respect to necessary topographical modifications and maximum effluent
loadings the areas can eboorb without runoff.
. . . cont.
City Council of C'lonnont. Octobor 15), '19711.

In any way pocoi.blo, and I want 1,o thaidc you all for your con,orn end
