REPORT OF CIT't wANAGeR
April 2, 19513
The new well is nc•: down io a depth of just under five hundred feet.
An ample suppl.Y oi' r!ater' is expected any day. At that: time the vrell will
be pumped and r;'ater Samples taken.
I now have the latest copy of a minimum Housing Code which I would
Pike for you to examina. I personally think that some code of this nature
is needed in Clermont and pe:•ticularly for rental property. Should you
gentlemen see fit to adopt this code it is my recommendation that it
apply only to rental property at the present time.
I receive reports from the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District each month.
They are in my o'rfice and available to any of you who care to look them $
over.
Vie have installed another ;iece of climbing equipment in the tot lot.
We had to le'.ve a man there tc keep the youngsters off of it until the cement
could set. Other equipment w'll be added from time to time.
The little league ball f'eld is now in use. We still have some minor
work to do but all facilities are usable. Vie should be able to complete
the prrject within the next two or three weeks. In my opinion it is an
exce;'ent facility and all construction is such that a minimum of maintenance
will be required. Mr. Earl Kirkland, who is "heading up" the little }
league program this summer has worked with me and made some suggestions. -i-
I -:ill cooperate with him as closely as possible in the future and try to
c,rry out his suggestions provided that an outlay of cash is not involved.
I have :Fr7tten to the owners if real estate abutting the locations we
'lave selected for Welcome to Clermont" signs for their permission. Such
pe-mission is required by the State Road Department. Two of the owners are
nrt local residents and it is quite probable that considerable time will
h,= required before getting their permission.
Mr. Langley has prepa;,ed amendments to our zoning ordinance as requested.
The amendments apply spec'fically to the three transition zones and
establishes a procedure `or petitioning the Zoning board of Adjustment for
variance. We can take tiis matter up now or later in the meeting, whichever '
you prefer.
