Lake Minneola Waterfront Park Parking Lot
City Manager Saunders presented the latest design of the parking lot and entrance way
for the Clermont Waterfront Park. The access areas at 2nd Street and Palm Lane
along with the cul-de-sac and parking area adjacent to the Highlander Hut were
reviewed. Cross-sections showing the elevations from the water's edge and into the
Palm Lane right-of-way which will be partially excavated were studied. Council
Members discussed how this excavation will encroach into the existing Palm Lane
right-of-way. City Manager Saunders stated that final plans will be available for the
residents along the strip of Palm Lane to review within the next two weeks.
There were no suggested changes to the layout by the Council Members and it was the
consensus to proceed with this design.
Major Medical Insurance Changes
Finance Director Van Zile discussed with the Council Members proposed major
medical insurance changes and provided each member with a handout itemizing the
changes. It was the consensus to move ahead with these changes.
Sidewalk on Osceola Street
The suggestion made by Mr. Don Smith to construct a sidewalk along Osceola Street

sidewalk project and proceed as soon as possible.

Waterline Route to New Elevated Water Tank
City Manager Saunders discussed with Council Members the proposed route for the
new waterline that will extend from the intersection of Highway 50 and Hancock Road
to the new elevated water tank and then east to Jacks Lake Road. He explained the
City Engineer preferred to run the waterline through the Fosgate property along an
area that probably will be a reverse-frontage road when the property is developed.
This route will be less expensive due to the severe topography and other utilities along
the Highway 50 right-of-way.
Council Members authorized staff to proceed with negotiations with Mr. Carter for
the needed easements and also for the purchase of two lift station sites that will be
located along the proposed sewer line extension along Jacks Lake Road.
Meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
