City Manager Saunders stated that Clermont Downtown Partnership has requested that
the Council consider closing Montrose Street from/West Avenue to Jenkins Auditorium
during the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. for the First Friday Events as the event has
gotten so successful and is drawing such a crowd that they feel there is a safety issue. Mr.
Saunders stated he felt the idea was a good one and the City has been fortunate in that
there has not been an accident considering the number of people that attending the event.
¥ayor Turville asked if the downtown businesses had been polled and if they were in
agreement ~ith the street closing.
Sheiry Halgren of the Clermont Downtown Partnership Board stated that all of the
members of the Partnership were called and there was only one "no" vote. Ms. Halgren
stated there was consensus of the Partnership that there is a safety issue since the street is
so crowded with pedestrians, including c1Ïìldren.
.
Mayor Turville stated he was concerned that some restaurants in the area may have an
objection to the street closing and Council Member Mullins stated that th and 8th Streets
would be open to allow for parking and access to any downtown restaurants.
A motion was made by Council Member Mullins. seconded by Council Member Of' ~
Biddle and carried unanimously to close Montrose Street from West Avenue to U ,.:;.
Jenkins Auditorium from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 O.m. durinf! the November and ?-O')'
December First Friday events. and to revisit the issue after that trial oeriod.
City Manager Saunders stated there was another request from the Downtown Clermont
Partnership, which was discussed with the Council at a previous workshop, regarding having a
stage on the west side of West Avenue where musical events occur.
Council Member Biddle stated that on the City property to the east of the Mulberry Inn property
there is a flat spot and the Partnership would like to build a flat wooden outside deck, with no top
or back and no power, for use by the entertainers for the First Friday events. Mr. Biddle stated it
would put the entertainment where the people are instead of on anyone's personal property.
Council Member MacLauchlin asked for the proposed dimensions of the stage/deck and Mr.
Biddle stated it would be 10 ft. X 16 ft.
.
Mayor Turville asked if this matter could be put on a Council Agenda to avoid any conflict and
to make certain all of the residents in the area had an opportunity to give their input.

public right-of-way and City Manager Saunders stJted that the stage would be a public stage and
would be owned by the City of Clermont. .'
There was consensus that the issue regarding allowing a stage/deck to be built on the City's right-
of-way on west end of West Avenue be advertised on a Council Agenda.
City Manager Saunders stated that the West Avenue parking project is on s,?hedule and should be
completed in time for the Pig On The Pond event. Mr. Saunders stated tharthe City came in
considerably under budget on that project and he requested Council'~ approval ofa Change
Order to go ahead and mill out the old asphalt and overlay those two blocks. Mr. Saunders stated
that there are a lot of cracks in the surfac~~hat will create problems and it can be milled out and
overlaid for $17,197, which is still within the total budget for the project.

Recreational Park, the grass parking area was to be seeded and mulched. Mr. Saunders
stated that because of the slopes it has been very difficult to maintain the seed and the
contractor is willing to give the City full credit for the seed and mulch and sod the
parking area. Mr. Saunders stated that the goal is to have the park open by February,
2001 for the Softball Jamboree and stated he is requesting $4,875 be appropriated from
the Recreation Impact Fees in order to sod that parking area. .

MAYOR TURVILLE'S REPORT
Mayor Turville requested the Council to consider putting the second $25,000 homestead
exemption issue on an agenda. Mayor Turville stated that Finance Director Van Zile had
information that allowed him to calculate the impact it would have on our City and he asked Mr.
VanZile to report regarding that impact.
Finance Director VanZile stated that he obtained information from the Lake County Property
Appraiser's office and based on the applications that he had received, the number was in the
neighborhood of less than $5,000 as far as the reduction to our ad valorem property taxes, which
is not a great amount considering how much we receive on an annual basis.
Mayor Turville stated that based on what appears to be a minimal impact, he would urge to
Council to put the matter on an agenda as there are citizens that need to benefit from that
exemption and if we do not do something prior to December, another year will go by and those
citizens will not be able to realize this opportunity.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Hunter's Trace Investment, Inc./Bob Wade
City Manager Saunders stated that this request is referring to the old drive-in sign located
on Highway 50 between McDonalds and the Speedway Gas Station, which is currently a
non-forming sign and Mr. Wade is requesting a variance to allow the sign to be utilized
as an off-site sign to advertise businesses on Frontage Road south of that area.
Mayor Turville stated that the following issue requires a Quasi-Judicial Hearing be held and that
anyone wishing to speak in favor of or in opposition to the request should be sworn in.
City Clerk VanZile swore in the following:
Bob Wade, 1363 W. Lakeshore Drive, Clermont, Florida
Mr. Wade stated that the sign has been in exist~nce since 1946 and the two property
owners who have businesses on the old drive-in site wish to advertise their businesses on
the sign. Mr. Wade stated that the business ow:ners have indicated that they would only

have approximately three words each on the sign. Mr. Wade stated that he has agreed to
Deed the property to those business owners. Mr. Wade stated that he presented this at a
previous workshop and would like the Coun9ii's approval.
.
Mayor Turville stated that the issue is that the sign is a non-confonning, off-site sign and
at the workshop it was heavily debated and discussed regarding the nature of the
"grandfather" and the fact that the parcel involved can probably be used for nothing but
an off-site sign because of the small size of the property and the way the properties are
divided around it. Mr. Turville stated that there was consensus to consider a variance and
the discussion continued regarding how many off-site parties would be represented on .
that sign. Mayor Turville stated that his opinion was that the parcel has very little value if
it is not utilized as a sign as it has historically been used, but stated he is not in favor
putting multiple advertisers on the sigñ as only one advertiser was historically on the sign
and he felt that was enough.
'"
Council Member MacLauchlin confinned with Mr. Wade that he was going to Deed the
property to the owners of the Holiday Inn Express and the owners of People's Bank.
Council Member Lamb stated that she felt that because the property has a separate legat
description and the property has been used for a sign since 1947 and because not having a
sign there would render the property no value, if the variance is denied that would
constitute a taking ofMr. Wade's property and the City would be overstepping its bounds
to do that. Ms. Lamb stated she felt Mr. Wade had a right to have the sign there because
that is the only thing the property can be used for and she does not believe there should be
any limitations put on how property can be used and stated that Mr. Wade has agreed that
the property will only be used to advertise two businesses, which she feels is an extreme
compromise on his part.
Council Member Mullins asked Mr. Wade if he intended to refurbish the top of the drive-
in sign which still says "Clervue-l Block-Drive-In Theater" and Mr. Wade stated it would
be refurbished as close as possible to how the sign looks now.
.
Council Member Biddle stated that there seems to be consensus that all of the Council
Members would like to see the drive-in sign stay, and the only issue is how many
businesses should be allowed to advertise and stated he would like an agreement to allow
community announcements on the sign.

A motion was made bv Council Member Lamb. seconded bv Council Member
Biddle. to f!rant a variance to allow two búsinesses to be represented on the old
drive-in theater sign.
City Manager Saunders asked for confirmation of what was going to happen with the top
part ofthe sign, which currently says "Clervue Drive-In-l Block" and Mr. Wade stated he
would attempt to keep that.
o.
Council Member Mullins stated that visitors to Clermont seeing the top ofthe sign would
turn left and 's~art looking for a drive-in theater. Mr. Mullins stated that will confuse
visitors and asked for discussion on what to do with the top of the sign and asked if it
could be cleaned up and the outline kept. Mr. Wade stated he had no problem with the
top of the sign being used for community-announcements.
City Manager Saunders stated that everyone agrees that the sign has no official historical
definition, however the top part of the sign has a historical look and if keeping the
historical look is the concern of the Council and the top ofthe sign is changed, any
historical significance will be lost.
Mayor Turville reminded the Council Members that the Council cannot condition a
variance and ifthe Council chooses to support this variance request based on the fact that
the sign is going to be reflective of anyone's individual thoughts, he would caution that
approval would have to be based on faith because there will be nothing to require Mr.
Wade to perform.
"
Council Member Biddle stated that he would be more comfortable if he had a picture in
front of him showing what the sign was going to look like and he stated he was concerned
that the Council still does not have that. Mr. Biddle stated he wanted Mr. Wade to be able
to use the sign, however he would like to know exactly what the sign will look like, for
the record.
Council Member Mullins stated that since Mr. Wade has indicated that he is selling the
sign to someone else, maybe the Council should wait and grant the variance to the new
owners rather than Mr. Wade. Mr. Wade stated that he was the owner of the Holiday Inn
Express so he is one of the principals and People's State Bank is basically going to just
have a logo.

Mayor Turville asked City Attorney Guthrie his opinion and Mr. Guthrie stated that if the
variance is approved the conditions will carry forth to the new owners and the Council
can restrict the area of copy on the sign and the ,Council needs to look at the copy area of
the sign and decide what it wants to do from there.
City Manager Saunders stated that Mr. Biddle's comments identified the issue in that
several meetings ago the Council requested that Mr. Wade present a mock-up of the sign
showing exactly what is going to be there, so that the Council could either approve or not
approve based on the submittal.
..
'"
.
Council Member Lamp stated that she had researched the matter and felt that when
someone has a piece a property that only has one use and is denied that use it is
considered a taking. Ms. Lamb sited a Supreme Court Ruling and stated she felt the
ruling applied to this issue since this is a separate parcel of property with its own legal
description and has economic value, and she did not see how the City could step in and
take away all the value ofthe property. Ms. Lamb stated she felt this was a fundamental
property rights issue.
Mayor Turville stated that the issue being proposed here is not taking the sign away or
tearing it down, but the motion on the table basically allows two off-site signs, where
historically there was only one and therefore Mr. Wade is not compromising anything.
"
¡
, :
Council Member Lamb stated she felt that it is Mr. Wade's property, which has been uséd
since 1947 as a sign and he has a right to use that sign to his liking. Ms. Lamb stated she
felt the Council was regulating Mr. Wade and holding a gun to his head by saying that if
he did not do what the Council wants, they would deny the variance.
Mayor Turville asked for a vote on the motion.
.
Council Member Biddle stated that if the motion was voted on and did not pass, then Mr.
Wade would not be able to bring it back before the Council for a year, and Mayor
Turville stated that the motion on the table could be amended to allow Mr. Wade to bring
the request back before the Council sooner. Mayor Turville stated that while the Council
Members have concerns, there is consensus that everyone wants to work this out so that
Mr. Wade can have a sign. Council Member Biddle withdrew his 2nd of the Motion on
the table and stated he would like some confidence that when the variance is approved,
the Council will have in front of them exactly what they are approving.

Mayor Turville asked Mr. Wade if he would like t9 request the variance request be tabled
until he could produce a mock-up of the sign to show the Council and Mr. Wade stated he
was willing to do that and would bring the requ.~st back before a workshop.
Council Member Mullins stated he would rather wait until Mr. Wade has had additional
time to produce exactly what he wants to do because if the variance that is up for vote
now is granted, it would give Mr. Wade a carte blanche and he is not willing to do that.
Mr. Mullins'st¡ited he would like to see Mr. Wade keep the sign and see the businesses
prosper, but is not willing to give carte blanche.
'\
Council Member-Lamb stated to Mr. Wade that he was being required to give the other
Council Members exactly what they wanted or they were going to deny him use ofhis
property rights.
City Manager Saunders confmned that Mr. Wade could be first on the November 16, 2000
Workshop Agenda ifhe wanted to provide pictures of the proposed sign and the matter could be
back on the City Council Agenda in December.
Mr. Wade said he was willing to agree to only having two logos on the sign and asked Mr.
Guthrie is that could be put in the variance and voted on tonight.
"
City Attorney Guthrie stated that what is being asked for is a definition of the amount of area that
will be used for advertising copy. Mr. Guthrie stated that the long-term concern is that over time
a sign can change and unless the area that can be used for copy is defined, it could be a problem.
After further discussion Mayor Turville reminded the Council that they may not condition the
variance and while Mr. Wade may have good intentions, in the future someone else could come
in under this proposed variance and be allowed to do anything, such as use it for changeable
copy. Mayor Turville stated that what brought this about to begin with was a Code Enforcement
violation because the sign was being used as an off-site sign for another business, which is
against our Code. Mayor Turville stated that what is being discussed is whether to grant Mr.
Wade an unconditional variance and what is being asked for by the Council are assurances that
over time, since this variance will run over the land, that the intent ofthe Council is met.
Council Member Lamb asked what choices Mr. Wade had and City Attorney Guthrie stated that
traditionally when a Code Enforcement action is pending, if a property owner will take an action
to concede to the Administrative Order and conform with the Code, the Code Enforcement action
is usually vacated. Mr. Guthrie stated that in the event the Council does not approve a variance.
for the sign, because of the Code Enforcement violation, the City could require that the sign be -

removed. Ms. Lamb stated it seems Mr. Wade either plays ball with the four Council Members
who have a problem with this, or he must go through Code Enforcement at which time he could
legally have his property taken. Mayor Turville ~tated he did not feel the Council was asking Mr.
Wade to "play ball" and that all the Council was'requesting was a picture so that they could see
what they were voting for.
Mr. Wade stated that he would like to table his variance request until he can provide pictures and
have a workshop with.~e Council unless City Attorney Guthrie would allow them to work out
the details of the variance at thi~ meeting.
'\
Council Member Mullins èxpressed his ideas of how the sign could be allowed and stated that
although the intent was good, he did not feel that the Council could legislate charity and therefore
could not require that the applicant use a specific portion of the sign for community service
announcements. Council Member Biddle agreed.
.
There was extensive further discussion regarding the size of copy that should be allowed on the
sign, the area ofthe sign that may be used for copy. There was consensus that Council would
approve a variance allowing the existing non-conforming sign, with the changeable copy area
limited to permanent business signage to be utilized as an off-site sign with no more than two
deeded businesses located at the corner of Highway 27 and Hook Street allowed to advertise, in
perpetuity and that the top of the old drive-in sign will stay the same. There was also consensus
that this specific sign was unique sign and that a special ordinance should be written to cover this
specific sign.
A motion was made by Council Member Mullins, seconded by Council Member
Biddle. and approved 4 to 1 to allow the existing Clervue Drive-In non-
conforminf!: sif!:n to be utilized as an off-site sif!:n and that only UP to two deeded
