request of Leroy W. Watson, Jr. for a variance in the required setback on his property
described as Lots 4, 5 and the East 50 feet of Lot 6, City Block *70 (R3 Zone) to allow
for covered carports serving apartments. The presentation for this request was made
by Mr. Carl Gutmann, representative of the architect for the owner. There was no
one present who voiced objection to this request. Motion was made by Councilman Smoak,
seconded by Councilman Beals and carried, that this request be granted.
Mayor Smith announced the next order of business to be a Public Hearing to consider a
request by Mrs. Illa Van Clief Brodgen for a change of zoning of the acreage located
south of the Minnehaha Estates Subdivision, recently annexed to the City, from R1A
to C-2 for property fronting on Highway 27 and from R1A to R-3 for property fronting
on the Lake Minnehaha side. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended rezoning
R1A to C-2 for property fronting on Highway 27 and from R1A to R3A for property
fronting on the Lake Minnehaha side. Presentation for the request was made by
Mr. DeWitt McGee, of McGee and Associates, representative of the property owner.
Comments and objections were then heard from the audience. Petitions were presented
by Mr. A. E. Langley, representing a group of city residents, and by Mr. David Black,
representing a group of county residents, wherein they requested that at least
the 250 feet bordering the east boundary of Lake Shore Drive, of the area rezoned,
remain zoned R1A.
Following a rebuttal by the applicant's representative, Mr. McGee, motion was
made by Councilman Smoak, seconded by Councilwoman Watson, that the request for rezoning
be denied and that it be requested that the developers consider a request for a
Planned Unit Development. Upon roll call vote on passage of the motion, the
result was: Ayes: Smoak, Beals, Smith, Watson, Schroedel. Total Ayes: Five. Nayes:
None. The motion carried.
The request of Mr. Stuart Green, Attorney, to appear on the agenda was postponed until
the May 23, 1972 meeting.
City Manager Hopkins submitted his report both orally and written and a copy is
attached hereto. With regards the City Manager's request, that the engineers be
authorized to extend sanitary sewer lines as follows: 1) Hiawatha Shores: 2) Twelfth
Street - Lake Shore Drive to Minnehaha Avenue; 3) Rosewood Drive - Lake Shore Drive
to Minnehaha Avenue; 4) line on Pitt Street east of Bloxam Avenue to serve Mobley -

Schroedel, seconded by Councilman Beals, and carried, that this request be granted.
With regards authorization requested by the City Manager to increase the salary of
one patrolman from $5980 to $6,000 so as to meet the state requirements under the
Revenue Sharing bill, motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by Councilwoman
Watson, and carried, that the authorization be granted.
In response to a request from Mr. Tom J. Windram to submit the name of a person to
represent the eight cities of the total membership of the proposed Oklawaha River
Basin Improvement Council, Mr. Claude Smoak was selected.
City Manager Hopkins inquired as to the Council's wishes regarding sewer hook up
to city owned property presently occupied by various organizations. It was the
consensus of Council that the hook ups should be made by the City.
City Manager Hopkins reported in regard to construction of Eleventh Street between
Juniata and DeSoto Streets, as agreed upon by Konsler Steel Company in the closing
of a portion of Juniata Street as follows: Konsler Steel Company agreed to pay up
to $6,000.00 for the grading, paving and curbing of the new street. When the engineering
was one, it was determined that some drainage work would be required to alleviate a
drainage problem to be created by the street closing. The low bid received by Konsler
Steel Company, including both paving at $6,446.00 and drainage at $3,494.00 totaled
$9,940.00. Mr. Williams of Konsler Steel has requested that the city participate
in the cost of the drainage improvement. City Manager Hopkins stated that it has been
his contention that the drainage problem will be caused by closing Juniata Street and
that the costs for the corrective action should be borne by Konsler Steel. He wished
the Council's consideration of this request. Following discussion between Mr. Homer
Allen, representative of Konsler Steel, and the Council members, motion was made
by Councilman Beals, seconded by Councilman Schroedel, that the City Manager be
authorized to pay the sum-. of $446.00 in excess of the $6,000.00 estimate for grading,
paving and curbing of the new street, if in the opinion of the City Attorney, such
expenditure is legal, and that the city not participate in the drainage costs of $3,494.00..
Upon roll call vote on the motion the result was: Ayes: Beals, Smith, Watson and
Schroedel. Ayes: Four. Nayes:Smoak. Total Nayes: One. The motion carried.
At the request of City Controller Fleming, City Manager Hopkins requested authorization
from the City Council to enter into a contract with H. W. Sheppard and Co. to audit
the sewer project costs as required by HUD, for an estimated maximum fee of $400.00
unless conditions exist or are discovered which would require substantially more than
normal time to examine. Motion was made by Councilman Beals, seconded by Councilman
Smoak, and carried, that City Controller Fleming be authorized to enter into a contract
with H. W. Sheppard & Company to audit the sewer project costs as required by HUD
at the amount stated by the auditors.
Deputy Clerk Dollar read a letter from Cadette Troup #145 extending thanks to the
Council for letting them visit the City Council meeting on March 28th.
Motion was made by Councilman Smoak, seconded by Councilman Beals and carried that the
bills be paid.

CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
The routine business of the City is being conducted as usual. The renovation of
the boat ramp will be completed this week. We managed to do the necessary work at
the ramp without closing it to boaters.
As Council will recall, the City agreed to close a portion of Juniata Street as
requested by Konsler Steel Company subject to the construction of Eleventh Street
between Juniata and Desoto Streets. Konsler Steel Company agreed to pay up to
$6,000.00 for the grading, paving and curbing of the new street. When the engineering
was done, it was determined that some drainage work would be required to alleviate
a drainage problem to be created by the street closing. The low bid received by
Konsler Steel which included both the paving and drainage work totaled $9,940.00.
Mr. Bill Williams of Konsler Steel has requested that the city participate in the cost
of the drainage improvement. It has been my contention that the drainageproblem
will be caused by closing Juniata Street and that the costs for the corrective
action be borne by Konsler Steel. It is requested that the City Council consider
the request of Mr. Williams as to participation by the City of the drainage portion
totaling $3,494.00
We have a number of areas which are not presently programmed for sanitary sewer
service, but are either developing or are planned or immediate development. In order
to provide service to these properties, it is requested the engineers be authorized to
extend sanitary sewer lines as follows_
1) Hiawatha Shores
2) Twelfth Street - Lake Shore Drive to Minnehaha Avenue
3) Rosewood - Lake Shore Drive to Minnehaha Avenue
4 aN P s
r-r r En$T ') ��" I'%— A,:,-
4) Line -west vn-8l-0 an -Avenue -to serve Mobley property - US 27 and Pitt Street
Estimated Cost $24,000
Since the affected properties were not assessed, the owners will be charged a connection
fee at the rate of $4.00 a front foot. We also recommend that no further extensions
be made under the present contract.
During the last session of the legislature, a Revenue Sharing Bill was passed providing
financial assistance to cities and counties. In order to qualify for participation
in the revenue sharing plan, cities and counties must meet certain eligibility
requirements. One of the requirements is that police officers be compensated at
an annual rate of $6,000 or more.
Our patrolmen are classified in Grade 12 with a salary range of $5,460 to $7,072.
annually. We presently have one officer making less than $6,000. His salary is
$5,980. Authorization is requested to increase his salary to $6,000 per year and to
reclassify the affected positions in the Police Department so as to meet the state
requirements. The reclassification will not require the expenditure of more funds this
year than budgeted.

In a letter dated April 28, 1972 from Thomas J. Windram, copies of which were
furnished to members of the Council, the City of Clermont was requested to submit
the name of a person to represent the eight cities of the total membership of the
proposed Oklawaha River Basin Improvement Council. Council is requested to select
a person so I can advise Mr. 'Wftndram.
